Mara Isobel and Schuyler Holden
Mara is for my grandmother Marionne and my mother's middle name Marlene. Isobel is for my grandfather Isadore, who died last year. Schuyler is for my great-grandfather Sam and my great-grandmother Sadie, and Holden is for every Henry on my dad's side of the family, including my dad. Also, these are four names that I absolutely adore.

Hareton Alexander and Magdalen Victoria
Hareton and Magdalen are named after Hareton Earnshaw from 'Wuthering Heights' and Mary Magdalene from the Bible. I chose them because both characters get a second chance to better themselves later on in life and I want my children to always believe that it's never too late to make something more of themselves. Their middle names don't have any specific meanings - they were chosen so that each child has a common name to fall back on if they so choose. Another thing I like about their first names is that they can easily be shortened to common nicknames (Harry/Tony for Hareton, Maggie/Ellie for Magdalen).

Well, if they're boys then their names are Christopher Lee and Zachary Alexander
Christopher Lee is named after Jason's best friend who passed away from Cancer and Zachary Alexander is just a name that I have always liked. If it was ultimately up to me and Jason wasn't the father they would be Zachary Alexander and Ashton Christopher, but I guess since I got one of the sets in there and a name from the other thats good enough! In my Christopher case though it would be for my brother.

I love the name Elinor. We couldn't decide on a nn though - Ella/Elin or Nora, so we decided to split it up to make Elin and Norah. Anna is after my best friend and Eliza is after my mom.
G/B: Elinor Beatrice - Nora & Charles George - Charlie
We love Elinor. Beatrice is from Much Ado About Nothing. Charles we both liked, and thought it went well with Elinor. George is after my dad.
B/B: Asher Thomas & Elliot Paul
We just like both names.

My husband and I are delighted to announce the arrival of our first two children--a healthy set of twins...a boy and a girl...born on March 31st. William Grant, whom we have nicknamed Liam, arrived at 9:08 AM, weighing 6 pounds, 8 ounces; 19 1/2 inches long. He was joined by his sister, Elisabeth Grace, who we occassionally call Ella, at 9:34 AM, weighing 6 pounds; 18 1/2 inches long. Their names are names that my husband and I both like and could agree on, and we thought they complemented each other nicely.
By the way, if we would have had two boys, their names would have been William Grant (with the nickname Liam) and Luke Preston. If we would have had two girls, their names would have been Elisabeth Grace and Ava Josette.
