What a gorgeous sib set those names would make.
Oh, thank you! Oh, you had a baby Jethro?! I didn't know! Love it, of course!!
Thanks! Yeah, we loved the name Jethro from the start and went round and round with a bunch of names, narrowed the combos down to two and then when he was born, DH and I both looked at him and knew he was a Jethro!
You made me smile :)
Henry
Flynn
Clara
Phoebe
These are the names that I would use tomorrow if I had to.

Not a big fan of Flynn personally, but it works with the other names.
Phoebe is starting to grow on me. I wonder if it's because I've been watching a lot of Friends lately.

Girls
Nikita: This has been my very fave girls name since I was 15 (22 years ago), or so, and heard Elton John sing about this woman named Nikita and I fell head over heels in love with it as a girls name. While it's a Russian boys name, it'll fly in Denmark, as more girls has it than boys. Also, it just sounds more girly to me, with the name ending on an 'a'.
Amelia: This is because of the female flying ace Amelia Earhart. Has been my 2nd fave girls name for 15 years or something like that.
Boys
Elliott: This is for the boy in the movie "E.T." and it's the same reason as below, only I first watched this movie as a young teenager, but still fell in love with the name and it has been my very fave boys name since then.
Bastian: While I'd watched the movie "The Neverending Story" as a kid, I didn't fall in love with this name, before I was a teenager, watched it again and fell in love with the name, that is the name of the male protagonist, a small boy, in the movie. Has been my 2nd fave for maybe as long as with Amelia.
All of mine comes from some sort of pop-culture thing, except for Amelia who was a real person, still Amelia Earhart is used for pop-cultural references, when speaking of extraordinary women, who did groundbreaking things for being a women in the 1930s, today.

I don't know many people who like the name Elliot or would even consider it a favorite so it's nice to finally find someone. It's a great name!
Willow has recently taken over as my favourite name, I find myself thinking about it a lot. I like the combos Willow Mary and Willow Eleanor.
Luna has been on my list for a while but is currently at it's highest point. I like Luna Nicola and Luna Eleanor.
My top two boys names have remained the same for years: Tobias and Sebastian. I like them in the combos Tobias Henry and Sebastian Drew.
*All possible middle names mentioned are honouring. :)

Addanya-(pronounced Add-uh-nya)-I love A names the best and when there is an A at the beginning and the end, I seem to love it better. I also love longer names with several nn options. I love Addie and Nya for nicknames.
Emmarie-My grandma's names were Emma and Ellen Marie so I always thought it would be cool to combine their names together. I once met a little girl named Emery and she was so adorable which made me love the sound of the name even more.
Khalil-I love the sound of Khalil and I like it for boys and girl's names as well.
Matteo-How could you not fall in love with a baby, child, or man named Matteo? I love the combo Matteo Santiago Eli a lot.

Amelia and Eleanor -Love to pieces because they have a lot of history. I love that they are used in literature and film, can be prim and proper or dressed down with nicknames. They aren't overly used and they aren't unisex. All around love.
Henry and Jude -Again, history. Jude not as much as Henry, but it dates back to the Bible so at least it has age.

Astrid - love to death
Lyra - love
Soren - love
Henrik - admire
I'm not Scandinavian, so I pronounce Soren like "sorren" with a short O sound instead of SIR-en (as I think Søren or Sören is meant to be pronounced?).

I like that pronunciation as well, but because it isn't the correct way it irks me a little and I could never use it.
Yay, someone loves Abraham. I too think it's a great name.
Lauren, Grace, Alexander, & Nathaniel.
Annie - I just adore it. I like it as a nickname, but I waver between Susannah, Anne, and Anna. It's my dream name. If I hear of someone named Annie I feel utter delight.
Louisa - I might love it because of Louisa May Alcott. I probably do. It just seems so full of New England strength and character.
Eliza - I know I'm supposed to put two for boys but I don't care about boys' names very much. Sometimes I forget how much I love the name Eliza and then I hear it spoken and I'm reminded. I feel a little rush of pleasure at hearing it.
Thomas - It's so plain and full of common sense, but also so elegant and so... it reminds me of home in the best way possible.

Boys:
Isaac
Kenneth "Kenny"
Girls:
Sylvia
Astrid
Those four are my absolute favorites right now. Especially Kenneth. I posted about it a few days ago and some people loved it (and the Kenny nn) some didn't, which is to be expected. But I am at my stage of... infatuation, I suppose, with the name. That initial excitement for a name once it comes on your radar.
Okay, rant over. :)
