Anna Josephine - lovely, classic, simple.
Laurel Margot - much prefer Laura Margot (Laurel and Margot just are too similar for me, same pattern, consonant ending, same number of letters; I see them more as sisters than in a combo)
Hazel Beatrix - spunky and on-trend
Lorelei Eloise - too many vowels and Ls, and the two names run into each other.
Hugh Garrett - this confuses me, handsome, slightly fusty Hugh with 80s boy Garrett. Gareth would fit much better. Hugh Gareth or Gareth Hugh
August Heath - really nice, handsome with charm
Alexander Felix - classic with spunk

I love Laurel Margot, Hazel Beatrix and Lorelei Eloise :-)
I also like Heath and Felix.

Anna Josephine - Simple, classic, lovely. Josephine is a favourite.
Laurel Margot - Laurel is normally too soft for me, but Margot definitely toughens it up and gives the combo a bit of a kick. Margot is also a favourite.
Hazel Beatrix - This name is all kick. I love it!
Lorelei Eloise - A little too soft for me, but I like both names individually and I'd be pleased to see the combo.
Hugh Garrett - I think you have to be careful with finding a middle name for Hugh, gulp-y G names in particular don't work well with it, I find. The combo feels a little lacklustre, but I like Hugh enough to be able to deal with that.
August Heath - August is my most beloved boys' name. Heath I'm not a fan of (it's the "eeth" sound - I dislike Ethan, too), but I can forgive any name with August.
Alexander Felix - This would be perfect with Anna Josephine. They're both so refined and classic.
Laurel Margot - Laurel is normally too soft for me, but Margot definitely toughens it up and gives the combo a bit of a kick. Margot is also a favourite.
Hazel Beatrix - This name is all kick. I love it!

I've been having that issue with Hugh. I like the name but I haven't found something I particularly love to pair with it. The search continues...

Love your boys. Would tweak some of your girl combos so they flow better for me, replacing one middle with a similar-sounding name so "l"(s) don't run into one another...
Anna Josephine
Laurel Beatrix
Hazel Charlize
Lorelei Margot
Alternatively...
Anna Eloise
Laurel Beatrix
Hazel Josephine
Lorelei Margot
ETA: Ottilie replied to me, asking why I played with your combos, so I feel the need to clarify, in case my post felt negative or harsh. I certainly didn't intend it to. I think your names are nice but, for me, the "l"(s) near the end of Lorelei and beginning of Eloise feel slightly tongue-trippy...which sparked the notion playing mix and match. Anna Josephine is so sweet, I didn't want to change her initially, and I got "stuck" with the same problem again, only worse, when Hazel and Eloise were the only two left to pair...and that sparked the idea of Charlize. I was just playing with some lovely names and didn't mean to suggest that your combos were bad. Hope you don't mind.

There were a lot of "i"s and "e"s in the Lorelei Eloise combo and I was wondering if it seemed like a bit much. All I could think of was a conversation going somewhat like this:
"How do you spell your name?"
"L-o-r-e-l-e-i-e-i-o"
Feel free to mix them up! I'm not set on any of these names, but was wondering what people thought of the combos.

Maybe it's because this is kind of a peeve of mine, but what on earth was wrong with the combos so much so that you had to change them? :P

Hmm...if my post sounded harsh or rude, perhaps I should clarify. I think the names are nice; it was the "l"(s) near the end of Lorelei and the beginning of Eloise that felt feeling slightly tongue-trippy for me sparked the idea to play and switch things around...which led to realizing Hazel was left to pair with Eloise and I had the same problem, only worse...which led to thinking of Charlize. Anna Josephine is so sweet, I didn't initially want to change that one.
I was just playing with possibilities; did not mean to suggest her names were bad.

Sorry, I'm the one being harsh. I know it just bothers me personally when I ask for opinions and get suggestions in place of them and I guess I was just kind of curious about it anyway, given I quite like the names. I didn't think Lorelei Eloise was too bad; to me it's one of those combinations where the shared letters kind of helps gel the names together.

I can see your point about not getting comments/opinions on what one posts. I'll try to keep that better in mind.
