BOYS:
Alaric, Caspian and Roderick are on our list too. I love those names.
The rest are decent, strong names. I especially like the inclusions of Rafferty, Alistair and Quentin. Those would have been bold choices.
GIRLS:
Adelaide, Anneliese and Veronica I have definately suggested to the hubby. But, none of your female names are actually on our list (though I have debated adding Byrony lately). Claire will always be such a lovely name though.
I do appreciate Seraphina, though I have always leaned towards Serafina or Seraphine instead. For some reason the "ph" plus the "-a" always bothered me.
Anyway - Sorcha, Lyra and Angelica deserve a little more modern use in my opinion, even if they might seem trendy... and Evangeline is one of the most beautiful names I know. Evangelina is for sure on my GP list.

Well it looks to me like the names you actually used include just about the very best five names you had ... so no regrets, I hope.
The ones I might adopt from you, if I weren't done having kids myself:
Colin
Roderick
Andromeda
Cassia
Claire
Kira
Meredith
... that's it, oddly. It's a nice list, just not that much overlap with my taste.
Some of my own cast-offs:
Charlotte
Alexandra (is on my "would use" list now but wasn't then)
June
Sophie
Violet
Meryl
Mia
Audra
Julia
Robin
Merrick
Rowan
Conrad
Nicholas
Francis
Damon (on list now, wasn't then)
Valentine (same)
