Eleanora- I find the A at the end completely unnecessary. Eleanor is lovely.
Marie- I know so many girls with this as their middle name that it's just dull to me.
Aldith- Sounds like Ardith with a lisp.
Susan- Very cute, very retro, I'm liking this.
Christabel- It's a bit frilly but otherwise okay.
Megan- Give it a rest.Elias- Eh, it's okay. The strong "lie" sound is a bit off-putting.
Anthony- Too many of those around here. It's the "Jersey Italian" name to me.
Estel- Just reminds me of the female Estelle.
Rory- Cute.
James- Very nice classic. And Jamie is adorable.
August- Nice, stately. Reminds me of orange summer sunsets.

I like Eleanora, Marie, Aldith (this may be my new name crush!), Megan and all the boys' names. Estel is a bit problematic though, because it's so close to feminine Estelle, but as a Lord of the Rings fan I love its background and meaning "hope" :)

I'm so glad you got the refrence with Estel! It's the only LoTR name I could use because not many people would actually understand it. Plus, yeah, awesome meaning.

Eleanora - I like this, but with an Eleanor and an Elanor in my immediate family it's too much for me.
Marie - nice and simple as a first name, cliched as a middle name.
Aldith - it's ok
Susan - fresh on a child
Christabel - a bit too over-the-top
Megan - I like it, but the different pronunciations in different countries put me off using itElias - like it
Anthony - like it
Estel - not sure how I feel about this... I'm never sure about the feminine versions either
Rory - meh, 90s trendy
James - it's fine but there's so many
August - this doesn't do anything for me
