With that done, I'll just go through and see which ones we both prefer the most:
1. Thomas (4/4)
2. August (2/8)
3. Phillip "Pip" (9/3)
4. Raphael (10/1)
5. Asher (5/10)
6. Jack (6/11)
7. Jonas (11/9)
8. Nathaniel "Neil" (12/2)
9. Benedict (13/7)

9. Viola (10/4)
10. Zoe (4/11)
11. Aurelia (9/10)
The numbers in parenthesis are our individual rankings, first yours then mine. We don't agree on much so these lists are a little weird...
What would you like to do now? Any ideas? I'll suggest some combos using the top names on the shared list but otherwise I'm stuck.

Phillip Micah; Phillip Archer; Phillip Raphael

Matilda Willow; Matilda Holly; Matilda Zoe
Sylvia Lucy; Sylvia Rosemary
Ivy Emmeline; Ivy Anastasia; Ivy Aurora
Thea Willow; Thea Rosemary; Thea Aurelia
Rose Ariana; Rose Viola; Rose Sarah
I have 2 ideas: we can either use 4 of our top names, eg. Thomas, Rosemary, Aurora and Matilda OR we could each have our 2 #1s, so Raphael and Thea, Elijah and Aurora. WDYT?
I like all of those combos, my faves being:
Thomas Elijah
August Nathaniel
Phillip ArcherR
Raphaell Jonas
Asher Benedict
Jack Asher
Jonas Oliver
Rosemary Viola
Aurora Emmeline
Matilda Willow
Sylvia Rosemary
Ivy Anastasia
Thea Willow
Rose Ariana
I like all of those combos, my faves being:
Thomas Elijah
August Nathaniel

Raphaell Jonas
Asher Benedict
Jack Asher
Jonas Oliver
Rosemary Viola
Aurora Emmeline
Matilda Willow
Sylvia Rosemary
Ivy Anastasia
Thea Willow
Rose Ariana
In terms of the two ideas, I think I prefer the combo of Thomas, Rosemary, Aurora, and Matilda. Raphael, Thea, Elijah, and Aurora seems slightly mismatched to me.
Do you like the following?
Thomas Elijah
Rosemary Viola
Aurora Emmeline
Matilda Willow
Do you like the following?
Thomas Elijah
Rosemary Viola
Aurora Emmeline
Matilda Willow
I agree =) I like all of those combos, particularly Thomas Elijah and Matilda Willow, but I'm gonna try some combos for Rosemary and Aurora that incorporate more of our favourite names. What do you think of:
Rosemary Thea, Rosemary Sylvia
Aurora Ivy?
I'm happy to go with the sibset you suggested, I really do like it, I'm just trying a few others. Up to you =)
Rosemary Thea, Rosemary Sylvia
Aurora Ivy?
I'm happy to go with the sibset you suggested, I really do like it, I'm just trying a few others. Up to you =)
I like those new combos as well. For some reason I'm starting to associate Ivy with IV and that's kind of turning me off the name and, therefor, the combo Aurora Ivy. Would you be okay sticking with Aurora Emmeline? I can't think of any other Aurora combos at the moment but I'd be open to others as well. As for Rosemary, I like Rosemary Sylvia or Rosemary Viola the best of our options. Thea, for me, isn't a great middle name. Although I slightly prefer Viola as the middle name, Sylvia was much more agreed upon so I'll put that in the sibset here.
Thomas Elijah
Matilda Willow
Aurora Emmeline
Rosemary Sylvia
Hmmm... I do think Emmeline's a little awkward here. Do you think something like Aurora Zoe or Aurora Indie might work?

I like Aurora Emmeline =) Let me know if you prefer Aurora with something else but otherwise, I think we have our children!! =)
