Re: If you had children tomorrow
I love Isabel Rosemary; I would definitely pick that over Isabel Kerensa, and I do like Kerensa, but I just think Rosemary is better with Isabel. Kerensa is very nice with Josephine, though. I'd keep them like that.I've never been a big fan of -fred- names, but Charles Frederick is a handsome combo. Maybe there's hope for me, yet.I am less bothered by the Jo- / Ro- thing than by Rosamund and Edmund in the same set. I'd use Sebastian Edward, which is also nice, and keep Rosamund.By the way, that's what these threads are for -- to be a sounding borad. I've tried to reply to some of the stuff you brought up, and not just say which combos I like. :) Hope it helps.

I liked Isabel Rosemary when it popped into my head earlier (Ciarda had suggested Isabel Rosamund the last time and I liked the suggestion of a Ros- name), Josephine Kerensa seems familiar, I hope I haven't nicked it from someone else on here.I never noticed both Rosamund and Edmund (I nearly went with Edward as well), I must confess though, one of the first families I made up (and still have because I can't bear to change them) had triplets in it that were Edmund Peter, Verity Anne and Rosamund Marie.

Funny, but I just noticed in this one that you have a Rosemary and Rosamund in the same set. How is that not more obvious than the -mund. The minds of namenerds work is really random ways. Edmund and Rosamund are both nice names, so I can understand the dilemma. It wasn't until recently (and with the help of a certain sonnet writer) that I started appreciating -mund names.

Oh yes (I think my love of Ros- names is showing).Rosamund and Edmund are old, old favourites (the former because of a series of school stories called 'The Chalet School' that I read a lot, the author used some wonderful names, and the latter because I used to be obsessed with Blackadder). They seem wonderfully medieval.
