Beatrix -so fun.
Eloise -nice.
Anna -much better than Anne, imo.
Eleanor -I know people complain that this is too popular on these boards, but it's a great name.
Clara -lovely.
Henry -timeless
Graham -awesome
Gilbert -always kind of liked the nerdy, yet sophisticated sound of Gilbert. Plus, it reminds me of What's Eating Gilbert Grape which I adore.
Frederick -cool. I like the nn Fritz.
Jasper -met a baby named this yesterday. I like it.

GrahamCombo comments:
Lydia Rosemary - beautiful flow
Cecily Anne - pretty, but a bit too tender/delicate
Cecily Delphine - mixing genres (I wouldn't suggest a middle name starting with 'd' for Cecily)
Cecily June - now this is a bit more like it; very nice
Eloise Vivienne - It looks pretty, but the 'v' after Eloise sounds harsh
Beatrix Helene - very pretty
Beatrix Lenore - don't like it as much as Beatrix Helene, but not terrible
Anna Beatrix - Beatrix spices up Anna well
Anna Rosalie - don't like the flow
Rosemary Blythe - heaven!
Gwendolen Eve - very nice
Alice Marigold - Marigold lends some uniqueness to the combo
Rose Mathilde - not something I'd personally use, but it's far from terrible
Eleanor Blythe / Eleanor Daisy - don't really like either combo, sorry :-(

Why wouldn't you suggest a middle name starting with D for Cecily?

I find the 'd' sound (in most cases) rather harsh, especially at the beginning of a name. And even though I said Cecily Anne was perhaps too delicate, I think Delphine was going too far in the opposite direction, if you get my drift.The only 'd' name that I think would still sound okay to use in this combo would be Cecily Danielle. But this is all just my opinion.

I really love Cecily, Eloise, Anna, Catherine, Octavia, Eleanor, Clara, Delphine AND Louisa, and for the boys Arthur, Henry, Theodore "Teddy" and Jasper. Great lists.Some really nice combos too. Cecily Delphine, Eloise Vivienne, Eleanor Daisy, Arthur Frderick and Henry Jasper stand out as my favourites. Lydia Rosemary is lovley too.
