DD: Evening Rae - I don't like word names, or Rae, but Evey Rae is cute
DS: Morpheus Michael - I don't like either name, and they don't feel right together because they seem so different in style.
DD/DS: Katharine Angelorum, Nathaniel Pleasant - I like Catherine (not the K spelling) & Kitty, feel the same about Katherine Angelorum as Morpheus Michael, and actually love Nathaniel Pleasant.
DD: Margalo Mary - I don't like the double Mar- names, seems too rhyme-y. Same as Morpheus Michael. Like Marlo.
DS: Edmond Cornelius - love it, very traditional.
DD: Scarlet Carson Edith - I don't really like any of these names, though I do prefer Scarlet to Scarlett. I also don't like Carson on a girl or the double 'car' sound.
What do Margalo & Angelorum mean and come from?

Angelorum is "angels" in Latin (as is Angeli, the only other Angel- name I like). There are specific grammatical rules about which one is used, but I'm more than willing to admit that I don't care about those. :D Angelorum, I associate with the Christmas carol "Adeste Fideles" (the line in particular being Natum videte, regem angelorum... or "Behold the newborn, king of the angels"). And Angeli, I pulled from a very old musical text called "Psallite."
Margalo is the bird in E.B. White's Stuart Little. I'm not sure of its origin--definitely an interesting question, since he wasn't the first to use it. Stuart Little was published in 1945, and by that point, an actress called Margalo Gillmore had been acting for almost thirty years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margalo_Gillmore
I wish I had more details on where the name comes from, heh. I should ask over on Facts sometime. Thank you for your opinions. :)

"Angelorum" technically means "of angels" (regem angelorum = "king of angels"), whereas "Angeli" just means "angels" (as used as the subject of a sentence). Just thought I'd let my Classics degree be useful. :) I think Angelorum is quite lovely, btw.

It is useful! :D Thank you for telling me that--I find Latin confusing as all get-out, heh, but I love saying Angelorum. And I like "of angels" better than simply "angels," I think. :)

I was curious about the meaning of the name myself, I thought it was pretty, so I did a quick google search. Admittedly I did not check the results at various places, so I could easily be mistaken.
The first sight said it was only a variation of Margaret, which also means Pearl.

The second site

was more specific.
I continued searching and have found several other sites that all agree it is a Greek name meaning pearl.
