Wow! Lovely combos. Normally I'm quite critical when it comes to combos, but yours are beautiful. I may not even like the names much themselves, but Leta Fleur is so melodic it's to die for! Also love: Seraphine Lilac, Veda Naomi, and Elysia Celeste from your girls.For the boys names, literally love every single last one. My favorite is probably Caius Sebastian, but Lucian Matthias is a close second with Julian Fox. Hard to choose!

Sture is so cool, and has such a funky meaning. May I ask how it's meant to be pronounced?
vote up1
You can listen to the pronunciation here: http://sv.forvo.com/word/sture/ :)
vote up1
Did my 17th century Stockholmers play any part in putting Emerentia on the list? :)I especially like Ophelia/Ofelia, Aurora, Cleo, Olympia, Emerentia, Alexander and Kasper here. I'm glad it's the Kasper spelling - for some reason I love Kasper but really dislike Casper ... I like Caspar though. It makes no sense.

No, I came across Emerentia (there were two of them) a few months ago and I've liked it since. :)

Think it will be Katherine Maeve though still have a week before we're going to register, so it might change.
vote up1
I like Azure and Isolde, and love Delphi, Alba and Winter. Wren is growing on me. As for the boys, thumbs up to Magnus and August. I prefer Isidore to Isidor, but Isidor is handsome too. Hawthorn would be a cool mn. OT: How are things going with the kids and the new baby? Does little Lumi have her mns yet? Hope you're all well.
vote up1
Sweet of you to ask, we're all doing well. A few bumps getting back into routine, but we're getting there. Kids love her. Think we're going with Katherine Maeve. Cannot shift my OH to let me use Thistle, so it's the only other combo that feels right though I don't love it.
vote up1
I was guessing that might be the case, given that Maeve didn't make your top 10 and Alba, Wren and Thistle did. I still love Alba Maeve, but Lumi Katherine Maeve does sound lovely too.Glad things are going well! I can imagine with 4 littlies it's a little crazy with a newborn. I'd offer to babysit, but I'm not going anywhere near Finland till July. It's freakin' cold enough down here already. I'm off to Denmark on the 18th, and that is as North as I will go till next summer ;)

It's dropped to below zero overnight here already, I'm dreading winter. I don't blame you for not coming north.It is a bit chaotic here, but we're used to it.Decided I just didn't like the sound of Alba in the combo enough, still debating Rowan Maeve as I keep calling her Rowan when I'm tired but Dp likes Katherine Maeve so we'll probably stick with that.

I like all your girls names except Nika. For boys I like August, Isidore, Matteus and Frej. I've been liking Frej/Frey a lot lately.

"How is it even possible that it's already October!?"I know right? Wasn't in January like, yesterday?I like Eira, Astrid, Louisa, August, Isidore, Emmanuel, Etienne & Solomon. Love Freja, but Frej reminds me of chocolate (Frey is a chocolate brand here)

Hadn't even noticed the hyperlinks! Yay! Always bugged me that Élodie didn't link and I feel like Elodie doesn't convey the pronunciation I want.Re: Afton. I get that. It's on my boy list too, it's one of the very few names I like on both. If it helps, the full combo would be Afton Eirlys Reverie, and I'd use Aerie as a frequent nn (I know it's a stretch, but it does kinda sound like the combo smushed together. IMO anyway :) ) but I know people are generally not a fan of Aerie so that probably doesn't help! I think only like it so much cause I met the cutest little Aerie in Scotland years ago, and it's stuck. But it's strictly nn only as I don't see it aging well. So that's partly why I'd use Afton on a girl- it's my favourite way to get to the nn Aerie.

I love Élodie, Xanthe has also grown on my since I know a little girl with this name now. I was pretty impressed with the parents for picking that nameAugust and Ezra are great names too. I feel sad about Ezra, it was on my list until I met a person with that name who I do not like, now he's all I think of when I think of the name.
