I almost suggested Quentin Malachi! I love it.
I think it could be a winner, but I'll suggest a few combos anyway to see if there are any that really grab you:
Quentin Bartholomew
Quentin Abram or Abraham
Quentin Isaac
Quentin Jeremiah
Quentin Matthias
Quentin Phineas
Quentin Tobias
I also really love Quentin Josiah. We can't use Josiah as a fn since we have a Josephine. I'm not sure if it's just as unusable as a mn.
Oh, and I love Nina as a nickname for Antonia. Antonia "Nina" Russell sounds quite glamourous.

Ohhh, oops I forgot about Josephine. Dang. I think it's possibly unusable as a MN, but if we find a combo where it just WORKS, I'm cool with it.
I love Quentin Malachi and the fact we both do makes it a winner to be! Quentin Tobias is also great, but I think Quentin Malachi is IT. I would really like to use Phineas for a second son of ours, if that's okay? I really love it and it's quirky and cool like Quentin.
I'm glad you like Antonia "Nina". I think it's so much classier and glamourous than Toni or Ants.. :P

Phineas is fine with me, and I think that puts us in a pretty good place to begin.
We'll have another baby ASAP.
1st girl: Antonia Felicity "Nina"
1st boy: Quentin Malachi
2nd girl and boy: Phineas and Margaret--if you approve
Oh, about the ln. NoC said in the OP that hyphenating the ln for future children is an option, but I'd rather use Russell for the kids than Gilmore-Russell. It feels a little...not right to use "my" late husband's ln for children that aren't his. I would like, though, for Alma to use Gilmore-Russell for herself so she has a tie to her older children's ln. WDYT?
If you agree, we're probably finished unless you want to hammer out the middles for Phineas and Margaret right now or come up with our third child picks.

I love Phineas and Margaret - hells yea!
I agree that Gillmore-Russell is a bit strange for the new kids, and I'd prefer for them to just use Russell. I like the idea of Alma being Gillmore-Russell, though, to keep the tie with her kids, step-kids and new kids. :P
Middle names for Phineas and Margaret can probably wait, we don't want to do all the fun stuff now! :)

Sounds good to me! I'll go ahead and let NobodyOfConsequence know we're finished.
