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).
