Those are all very elegant names. I love them, especially Cora Genevieve and Henry Lawrence.

Oliver Michael is lovely. I also really like all of your girl combos. My boyfriend is going through a Cora obsession at the moment and seeing it in good combos like yours makes me like it just that little bit more

Yay! I love Cora, so I'm glad to hear I could help spread its appreciation. Your boyfriend has excellent taste. :)

Elsa Lavinia really seems to stand out, to me. Homer, too, but not as much. All in all, I really love the names, especially the boys'!

Beautiful.

They're all great combos - old-fashioned and just gorgeous.

I love all of these names on their own and in these combinations. They have a literary, historical feel. Very classy!

Thanks for noticing -- most of the names are picked for literature. :)

Some (like Michael, Lawrence and Genevieve) are to honor people, but Henry, Homer, Lavinia, and Cora are all literary/historical.

Henry Lawrence -Love it.
Oliver Michael -Strongly dislike Michael. However, I am addicted to an adoption blog, and the little baby boy the woman is adopting has this name :)
Elliot Homer -Nice.

Cora Genevieve -Adore it.
Adelle Cecelia -Beautiful!
Elsa Lavinia -Fine. I like both names, but I think they'd be better separatley.

Henry Lawrence is nice (though I prefer the spelling Laurence and you've reminded me how much I love Henry).

Cora Genevieve is gorgeous.

Yes to all! I must say, you have impeccable taste, =).
