Two small ones and twins... you have both my congratulations and my sympathy.

I remember you posting here when naming Vance. You were down to two, I think, and I can't remember what the other name you had was, but I remember loving it... it was a dreamy, poet kind of name... only, it's not here in your possible boys names. Whatever it was, I think you should use that if you have a boy. It was perfect.

Personally, I don't feel Roger or Nigel work at all. Myrtle and Vance sound like they have their own beautiful story, written on the pages of a dusty book. Roger and Nigel are just kind of lame. A bit silly, a bit stuffy, and totally uncool.

Hester, yes. Definitely. Hester belongs in the dusty fairytale of Myrtle and Vance. She fits like she was always meant to be there. Nelle... not so much. She may appear, but she'd be the unimportant barmaid at the inn which is only there to give the heroes somewhere safe to sleep at night. She probably stirs the stew, and nothing exciting ever happens to her.
I'd be kind of annoyed if I was Nelle.

Olive as a first name, I'd say no to that as well. It's too... I don't know. I just don't like it. Maybe it's just because I hate olives, and also food names in general.

I know you didn't ask for suggestions, but I'm going to give them anyway, because I'm like that. I can't help it. Feel free to ignore them all (:
