I love your boys' list. I don't think there's a single name on there that I don't love. Unassuming, strong, handsome. And Susannah, Eliza, Louisa, Jane, and Sally are wonderful too.

Love these, but would make a few minor alterations:Emily has lost its luster for me. I'd go with Emma, Emmeline, or Emilia. I like Amelia best.I prefer the spelling Sallie. The spelling Sally has always seemed childish to me. I don't think I'd use it not as a diminutive for Sarah though (how it was used in my family), and I am more apt to go for Sadie than Sallie.I think Alfred could only befit the right bearer. It would not work for every personality like your other choices, so it is the black sheep of the list to me. I do like it, though.I think Arthur should be nearer the top.I think I like Anne Beatrix.

My mom prefers Sallie too, and usually I do put Sally as a nn for Sarah, but I was feeling rebellious. ha. Emily had lost its luster for me completely until a couple weeks ago when I inexplicably began to love it again. But then I heard Emma spoken this morning and thought how beautiful it was. So, I dunno. Anne Beatrix is nice!
