ETA: Smith isn't my real last name or anything, but I think its more effective to use a last name in these kinds of things! And my childrens last name will start with an S.

You say: Hi, Jasper. Hi, Naomi.
You think: What a mouthful! It's not too bad, and they're all nice names, but it's a little much all together. Why not leave it as Jasper Vincent (or Vincent Archer) and Naomi Victoria? Jasper and Archer in the same combo has a little too much of the "-er" ending anyway, and Megan just doesn't seem to fit with Naomi and Victoria (or her brother's names)--it's too trendy and boring to fit.

You say: Hi, Joel and Maggie.
You think: Wow, the rhythm in Joel's name is great! JO-ul EZ-rah THAD-ee-us Smith. I don't know about Maggie's though...Eve kind of gets swallowed up between Victoria and Smith--or mashed up against Smith, which is worse. Eve Margot Victoria Smith (EVE mar-GO vic-TOR-ee-ah smith) would flow better (though the rhythm would be awfully similar to her brother's). Still, it's not bad.

You say: Hello, Jasper! Hi Naomi!
You think: I love Jasper Vincent Archer, very handsome, and Naomi Victoria Megan is nice enough if nms... I find Naomi nice, Victoria snobbish, and Megan boring, but they're all nice enough.

You say: Hi Joel, and hello Maggie!
You think: Joel Ezra Thaddeus is brilliance. Margot Victoria Eve is lovely as well. I don't like Maggie at all, though. Why does Margot need a nn?

You say: Neat names!
You think: The boy's name is okay. I especially like Archer. But that girl's name...I like Victoria.
