I've never really understood British naming. Its like a mix between uber-posh pretentious and cutesy-wutesy names. Its an odd combination that is totally British. Are you drawn to the triple and quad names or does everyone do double middle names?

Sylvia Mary Cabell (Nancy) -I don't mind this combo. It actually works with the super dated Nancy.
Annabel Charlotte Vivienne (George, Margaret) -All lovely names, but it doesn't flow for me as a combo.
Clemency Jane Frances "Clemmie" (Ned, Bea, Kit, Posy and Mary) -this works. And woah, that's a lot of kids for the average modern family and I like the nicknames.
Bonnie Clementine (Huxley, Sullivan) -beautiful orange?
Henrietta Madeline -simple, sweet, respectable.
Molly Kitty Talbot -attack of the nicknames.
Matilda Rose (Rory, Louisa) -ya know, this combo is overused but I still find it sweet.
Lydia Cecilia -too much -ia
Philippa Marie-Louise -Not my style, but respectable
Constance Elizabeth -I like it
Martha Ruby Hermione (Toby, Rosanna) -This somehow works.
