I really like Anne as a first name. It's fresh and unexpected (though Anne Cecilia sounds like a stuffy old nun to me). Ellen has also been growing on me lately, but I think it and Miriam drag each other down. Too bad Laurel is out -- it's such a lovely, underused name.

For boys, Samuel easily gets my vote. I also like Raphael. Malcolm and Miriam are WAY too matchy and Leonard is so ugly. "Nard" is not a nice sound to have in one's name.
