They couple is in their early 20s.

Grace is a good thought!
I know one of the DH's sisters is Anna Grace, and for a while she wanted to go by Grace only, but I think that phase is over. ;)I was wondering about Sophia and Laura, too.

Deborah Anne
Diana RuthThey're both biblical, one more than the other, and have an initial theme - also same syllable count unless they go the Debra route, which is much more dated than the full version.I'd reverse the order and use Anne and Ruth as the fns, but I suspect that most folks wouldn't.

I love Diana as a FN... Ever since Anne of Green Gables. :)Deborah is a good guess, too.I think there may be a cousin named Ruthie... but it might still be used in the MN spot. :)
