RoxStar, I'm sure you're right about the brains, but not about the haywire! Don't you think that their brain is really making the over-burdened parent feel huge enthusiasm for any and all babies and kids, precisely to protect them from feeling exhaustion, hostility, perhaps violence or worse towards a child or children?

As for the names, Walter and Stella are distinctive and go well together. So do Veronica and Isabel: pleasant, dated classics. I used to quite like Veronica, until I met one who was known as Ronny. I'm OK with Sofia but I vastly prefer Sophia - it's partly a pronunciation issue. Sofia = soFEEa, Sophia = soFYa. Philomena has a wonderful meaning, but as a name it's inconveniently long and clunky.
