I like:

---

George Matthew -- it's hard to choose a stronger, more classic combo than this
Cedric James -- still classic, but a bit more adventurous
Edmund Julius -- these names aren't really the same style, but I think the combo works
Walter James -- refreshing to see Walter on a young person

---

I dislike:

---

Finley Brave -- Finley is ok, but I've always found the "word as middle name" thing cheesy (maybe because this was a theme for my family?). I don't mind word names if they actually have history as names, but Brave really doesn't.

---

Wendy Grace -- Wendy has always struck me as too immature, probably because of the meaning.

---

Emmary JoAnne -- Emery would have been so much better

---

Pippa Lorraine -- I like Pippa as a nickname for Philippa, but not on its own.

---

Ransom -- A real head scratcher. Unlike most word names it doesn't even have a positive meaning.

---

Maximus Rolfus -- I know this is a real name with a real history, but the -us endings seem pretentious to me. Rolfus is a Latinization of a Germanic name, which really seems kind of off to me.

---

Other thoughts:

---

Thomas Aquinas is interesting -- named in honor of the medieval philosopher, I assume? This family must be traditionalist Catholic judging by the sibling names.

I like:
Lewis Eirinn (and Evelyn Wilde "Evie" but Theophilus is ridiculous imo)

---

Calvin John & Tess - I don't know her full name (but not a fan of Sherwood)

---

Edmund Julius

---

Walter James (Adeline Louise)

---

Crosby Loren (Charles Davis "Charlie")

---

George Matthew

---

Cedric James

---

Thomas Aquinas (Dorothy Guadalupe, Charles Giorgio "Charlie", Paul Kolbe & miscarried August Francis)

Walter James (Adeline Louise)- pretty sibset
Wendy Grace - cute!
Finley Brave - fun, I'm usually not a fan of Brave but it's cool here

Theophilius sounds very cool, and Sherwood is nice too. Emmary is okay, but I prefer Emerie.
