I’m neutral to most of these names but Rufus is super weird. It’s infamously a dog name. That kid is probably gonna get bullied. Cosmo is also not very good because it’s a very stupid character from Fairly Oddparents. My favorites are Sylvie and Pearl.

I don't really like Cosmo and Birdie, and I don't have very good associations with the name Patrick (bit of a shame, because it's otherwise a rather nice name) but other than that I love this set.

Pearl Miriam is gorgeous and I love Pearl and Henry as siblings.Overall, I think this set really looks like a set. I think they really were picking names to go with the sibset, rather than naming each kid individually and it shows. And "no repeating initials" is a less fun rule to have than "same initial", IMO. They are all okay names, though.

Evan Anthony: Nice. I like Evan. Anthony is a nice middle name but the flow is a little iffy. Nothing wrong with it though.Otto Patrick: Never cared much for Otto but it’s a nice sound. Patrick is very nice as a middle next to Otto. Very noble and respectable.Felix George: I really like Felix, but remove George from next to it. Just kidding; the combo is fine but I feel like there could be a better name next to it. Kind of like Evan.Pearl Miriam: Pearl is very under-appreciated these days and definitely one of the more refreshing gemstone names. Pearl is lovely and next to Miriam it’s a beautiful. Henry Magnus: It’s okay I guess. I like Henry.Rufus Murphy: I don’t like either of these names but the flow is nice.Cosmo Wilfred: Very nice. It’s different and cool. It has a respectable quality to it but it’s very humble and chill without being too out there or anything. I like both of their meanings and how they balance each other out. One being more familiar and another being unusual - especially as a middle name. Very nice choice.Sylvie Winona: Sylvie is more timeless and youthful than Sylvia. Nonetheless it’s very evergreen and noticeable but just in a cool way. Winona is very nice and good next to Sylvie. Beautiful name! Goes well with Cosmo!

I'm glad they didn't repeat initials. I feel like with a large brood, it's best to be able to identify something quickly and an initial is great.I kinda' love the set. There are a few names that just aren't on my radar but the rest are pretty great. Basically, I just don't care for Evan Anthony as a combo, Murphy, and Wilfred.

The first names I like most are Felix, Henry & Sylvie.
Pearl is kinda okay. I don’t care for any of the middle names.

OK, they didn't repeat first initials - yay! - but their taste in names does show. The repeated -an An- in Evan Anthony, for instance, and the o ending in Otto and Cosmo.
Generally speaking, I'm not excited about any of them but nor do I find them off-putting, with a few exceptions. I would never choose Evan, Otto or Felix, though I do like Antony, Patrick, Magnus, Winona and Harriet. I'd prefer Sylvia to nnish Sylvie. Birdie is a sad and silly name: Harriet Birdie would have been kinder, though perhaps Henry will be known as Harry?

I love everything here except Evan Anthony! Evan I find pretty dull, and Anthony has never done anything much for me.Cosmo and Sylvie have the best names in my opinion. I really like them together, and their combos are great.
