I really love Julian! Also, I like Lily and James.
But one thing I just noticed and thought I'd share, as I'm not sure if it's intensially, those are Harry Potters parents names.
Still cut though.
What about Arthur James and Lily Claire?

If you like Lily but want a longer first why not use Lillian? Callie would be alright if it was spelled this way. I love the name just not the spelling you have for it. Evangeline is another great one.I love the name James. There's just so many things you can do with it. But I don't like Gabriel and I especially don't like Gabe. Julian isn't one I would choose either.To me Lillian nn Lily and James go the best with Natalie.

Congratulations! Natalie Marissa is a lovely name.Delilah has a horrible Biblical association. I would ditch that. I would also ditch Calleigh, because it's made up and tryndee looking. Calista with the nickname Cali would be gorgeous, and I love Evangeline and too. Lily Evangeline, Evangeline Lily, Calista Evangeline, Lily Calista and Calista Lily would be lovely.I love all your boy names, but hate the nickname Gabe. James Gabriel or Gabriel James would be fantastic, but I hate the alliteration in Julian James / James Julian, even though I love both names.Suggestions (possible nicknames are in quotes):
Sophia
Olivia
Charlotte
Annabel
Jasmine
Hope
Grace
Annelise
Anna
Rachel
Juliet
Iris
Rose
EvelynNicholas
Michael
Thomas
Jonathan
Nathaniel
Lucas
William
Benjamin
Samuel
Daniel
Ethan
Evan
Alexander

Yeah, that's the reason I was leaning away from Delilah, with the association that I have from the Bible. Calleigh was a combo from Calvin and Leigh (two family members), I just thought Cali looked too short for a full fn. Lily Evangeline and Gabriel James are awesome!
I also like-Sophia

I also love the sound of the name Delilah...but couldn't use it either.
Have you considered Lilah??? Same idea...no bad associations.Gabriel James is GREAT btw!

Oooh...(m)I hate alliteration, but Calista Charlotte is gorgeous, and they don't start with the same sound. Very pretty!I like Amy's suggestion of just Lila / Lilah. What do you think of that?

I love both names. I am so excited. Lily seems more like a nn to me so I am trying to decide on a full name to use with Lily as a nn. The best I can think of to go with our ln is Delilah, but it has those awful connotations from the bible...

Lilia and Gabrielle are some others that we have been considering! I love those names. Eva doesn't sound right with our ln which starts with V. The boys names you suggested are awesome! Noah somehow had missed me altogether until you mentioned it.
Gabriel James and Noah James are my favorites from your boys list. Lily Evangeline is awesome! Thank you for your help.

How about Gabriel James and Calleigh EvangelineBubble: I shall endeavor to transcribe it on my pad, photocopy it and file it for future reference.

Those have been the top choices for me so far. I can't decide on the spelling of Calleigh. I think it looks nice this way, but hubby hates it.

I really like Calista with the nn Cali or Callie. Cali reminds me of California so personally, I'd go with Callie.James is a nice boy's name. I think James Gabriel would be great. Or James Thomas?Ideas for a longer full name for Lily:
Lillian
Liliana
Lilah / Lila

For starters, congrats! Good luck, hope all goes well!Natalie Marissa is pretty!Now for name opinions. . .
Lily and Evangeline are very pretty! Calista is nice as well, but I prefer Callista. Delilah has a bad association with a Biblical character (check out the information given for the reason why) so scratch that. And Calleigh is nms, so scratch that. If you really want to use it, please spell it Kayley.Julian, Gabriel, and James are all favorites! Unfortunately, Gabe is nms as a nn. Gabriel James/ James Gabriel sounds good to me. I like Julian, but Julian James/ James Julian doesn't appeal to me.Here are a few suggestions:
Sophia
Scarlett
Caitlin
Clare / Claire
Hope
Faith
Rachel
Julia
Juliet
Anna
Maria
Mary
AudreyJoseph
Matthew
Matthias
Stephen
Jeremy / Jeremiah
Caleb
Sean
Robert
