Revised Again!

Rosemarie Nicole*
Laurel Jane*
Ivy Lee* Therese*

Isaac James*
Spencer Joseph*
Jesse* Julius

The fact that all the boys have J mns is completely coincidental. Everyone was honored except for me, so I wanted to get myself in there, plus I really love Jesse. It's just the way it worked out. And really, how often will my potential future children be called by their first and middle names out loud all at the same time?

Ramsay Alexander and Julius Richard are better than Jesse Julius and Spencer Joseph IMO. I'd rather see Ramsay Jess than Jesse Julius. I'm just not a fan of Jesse.

I like the girl names including Emilia. Ivy Lee Therese is better than Ivy Luna by a lot.

I think Laurel Jane and Isaac James are the best choices - not only do I think they're great combos but obviously you love them a lot too if they're the only ones that have remained unchanged across both lists ;)

I prefer Ramsay to Spencer but love Jesse. I think Rosemary Nicole has a nicer flow. However 'cutesy' it is, I prefer Ivy Luna to Ivy Lee Therese (too many "ee" sounds in one combo)

If I could tweak the combos a bit I'd suggest...

Rosemarie Luna
Ivy Nicole
Jesse Alexander
Julius Ramsay

Rosemarie Nicole is a bit much. Rose Nicole or even Rosemary Nicole would flow a little better.
Ivy Lee is very close to Ivy League.
Spencer Joseph is very nice. Jesse is just okay.

I absolutely abhor Nicole... I mean, I know nice people called Nicole but I find it very ugly. No offence intended to anyone.

Ivy Therese is pretty, and Laurel is nice. Laurel Jane isn't adventurous but it's very passable.

I like Isaac James. The rest do not appeal to me.

I'm not the biggest fan of Nicole either, but I figure it's a middle name and it's honoring

Admittedly true! I'd just wonder if there might be a prettier form of Nicole that could still fit as honouring. Still, as a middle name, it could be worse and either way it wouldn't really matter out of the name-nerd community.

Nicolette!

it's so much more alluring than Nicole. Rosemarie Nicolette and Ivy Nicolette are both GORGEOUS if you ask me

Got the SO to agree to Nicolette! Rosemarie Nicolette it is! Yay!

Woohoo!

Rosemarie Nicolette is REALLY fabulous! Many congrats on that one :)

(eta) I think using Nicolette in honor is especially adorable since it's basically like being "little Nicole"

AH! I love it! I'm so psyched my SO is suddenly so open to talking about names. I'm so happy with our set! Now I just need to have six kids and make sure they're evenly divided by gender because I'm in love with all these names.
