What well named children!! The names are great and work so nicely together.

I hate Theodore. Hopefully he'll become a Ted.
I don't see what's so great about the combo Theodore Robert. It has that stuttering sound to it like Aurora Rose. But I like Robert...Clara Elsa isn't a very good combo but the names are okay. I think Elsa Clara would have been much better - because Elsa is friendlier, and it just has a nicer flow that way. Lily, Elsie, Evie and Ted could be real ... rather than Lily, Eva, Clara and Theo which seems starchy and faded to me.

They may have chosen Clara Else over Elsa Clara because of the popularity of Frozen and the increase in use of the name Elsa. Either way, it doesn't flow well but I like both names.

I don't really care for the flow of Clara Elsa, however, this is a nice twinset! I also like the entire sibset: Lily, Eva Clara and Theodore (wonder if he'll be called Theo or Teddy).

He will go by Teddy.

I like Theodore and Eva.
Clara Elsa - I don't think it flows very well at all. Clara is okay.
Theodore Robert - I don't like how the names run together. Love Theodore though.

Lily is spineless and saccharine. Eva is nice.
Clara Elsa is very hausfrau to me. Besides which it's clumsy as a combo. Clara, Lily and Eva do seem to go well together.I like the combo Theodore Robert, though admittedly I really mainly like Theodore because of the warm, friendly nn Ted, which is not one of those nicknames that can stand alone from the start.It's just too bad that when I google "Theodore Robert" the first thing that comes up is Ted Bundy's Wikipedia entry. He's been dead 25 years and his middle name isn't all that well known (he wasn't one of the fabled killers who are known by all three names like John Wayne Gacy or Lee Harvey Oswald) and both names are quite nice ... but that first Google hit really would put me off using the combo.
Poor Theodore.

I like Clara. Dislike Elsa, and Clara and Elsa sound terrible together, both two-syllable names that end in A, no good. I hate Theodore. Yes, there was the manly Roosevelt, nevertheless, it sounds totally dorky to me. I don't like Robert, because of the "bert" ending, though I do like the nickname Rob. Lily and Eva are okay, but nothing exciting.

did you know? ...That Theodore Roosevelt's family nickname was Teedy? Not Teddy but Teedy. He claimed to have hated it and I can't say I blame him.

Yes, I was aware. Good thing his nickname among the press and public, in contrast to his family, was Teddy, or else we would now call the stuffed animal a Teedy Bear.
