9 girls, 3 boys - What would you name them?
Hi everyone! :)
I'm not sure if this has already been done but I came across two articles of a woman in New South Wales, Australia who has 12 interestingly named children! The articles are:

I am not at all a fan of double, triple or quadruple double names, but I'll play along with one middle name per child!
D, 18: Serena Brynn
D, 15: Daphne Rose
D, 15: Diana Natalia
D, 11: Veronica Jane
D, 10: Fiona Anne
D, 8: Giselle Liana
S, 7: Aaron Joel
D, 6: Ella Jacqueline
S, 5: Gabriel Dean
S, 4: Gavin Damian
D, 3: Ava Seraphina
D, 1: Daisy Rowan
I'm liking everyone's combos. Here's my list. I decided to use the same initials of the names that are mentioned in the articles. Mum used so many S names. I found it tricky to find appropriate S names that I liked, so they probably clash a bit.
The daughters:
18: Stella Jacqueline
15/15: Salome Valentina & Sophia Clarimond
11: Jacinta Laurel
10: Serena Kirsten
8: Bronwen Semele Marjolaine Rina
6: Idony Rosangela Susan
3: Daphne Selena Zephyrine Lisa Adele
1: Pascaline Bridget Amaryllis Quirina
The sons:
7: Bernard Blaise
5: Charles Remy
4: Colin Augustine Lyle
Stella, Salome, Sophia, Jacinta, Serena, Bernard, Bronwen, Idony, Charles, Daphne, Colin and Pascaline.

Vivienne Faye Clara and Sonnet Anneliese Sorcha just made my day. What great combos! I had Vivienne Fay on my list for a while and Sonnet Anneliese uses two from my list I never thought to pair. Clara and Sorcha are just lovely names.
You have a lot of bold choices on your list and I like them.
I have never heard of Aderyn before, but it flows well with Zuri and Alaia.
The only one I might adjust to fit my testes more is Afton... I would likely make it Arden Emmelise Rubina.

I love Willow and Ariana, both separately and together.
I like Indie, but only as a nn (for Indira or India)
Love Zoe
Aurora is pretty
Elijah Thomas is very handsome
Romy Elizabeth is adorable
August Micah was one of my favourite August combos for a long time! Still love it.
I also love Ava and would love Lailah if it was either Lilah or Lila (or even Laila, whcih is my aunts name) but Lailah is too much.

Well, I really don't like her naming style. All those babies were wasted on her! lol

yeah - her style was not really that cohesive, but I do like Shyla.
Kira Artemis is stellar. It's very bold yet still spritely. I like it. It matches Anwen Selene well... though I might be tempted to make it Arwen Selene if it were my children.
I like your style - very Fantastical, but smooth.
Both Gabriel Peregrine and Brennan Corvus Orion are friend-makers. Which means they immediately give the kid a level of cool that most have to work for. Would love to meet boys with those names.
Arya River is a very nice combo too... I like Hecate Ceridwen with them... but realistically would likely leave them out (though Hecate really ought to be used more).
all in all - interesting sibset to read today.

I actually went back and forth between Anwen and Arwen when typing that :P
Oh dear those names are awful... not a huge fan of multiple middle names so this will be hard.

I must have read some of your names before this, because they ring familiar - but oh so lovely.
Nadia Wren is just adorable. Veronica Hazel is so retro chic it's cute. (though I think I would like Victoria Hazel as well).
Julieta nd Esme are unexpected but cute pairings for twins.
I am not into tons of middles (unless they are significant)... but I do love your Alba Genevieve pairing. It's a refreshing choice with Alba being so shorta nd sweet, yet dated and Genevieve being more frilly and quirky - but still accepted.
Hugo Adrien Reid is a smooth set too.
