HelpRe: Top 3 Boys Names, plus Revised Top 3 Girls Names
in reply to a message by jemis
Isaac James - this is my top boys combo too! Wow how strange, James honours my close cousin and although I was toying with Henry in the mn spot for a while James eventually won. It goes without saying then that I find it absolutely charming and wonderful.
Ramsay Alexander - hmm I'm not sure how to view this one, I feel like Ramsay should appeal to me but I'm finding it difficult to like. Also I dislike the repeating "a" sounds in both names, for me the combo doesn't flow perfectly.
Julius Richard - sorry I can't take Julius seriously because of my associations with Julius Caesar, Richard feels standard in the mn spot but I would feel better if it was Julius Richard.
Emilia Rosemarie - This is nice though it is not exciting me much, I prefer Emilia to Amelia and prefer Rosemarie to Rosemary so I find both of those pleasing.
Laurel Jane - sorry but I find Laurel dated and Jane boring (hence plain Jane), but since it is honouring I could make an exception.
Ivy Luna - I like both names and I have put them together myself in the past, however because they are both two syllables I find that they don't compliment each other at all. Ivy Rosemarie or Ivy Emilia / Emilia Ivy are nice.

I'm pretty attached to Isaac James and all my girl's names. Ramsay is one from my list that my SO liked and Julius is one of his favorites. Any suggestions for a different mn for Ramsay?
I also felt like Ivy Luna needed something a bit more. Perhaps an additionall mn? Any suggestions?
ETA: SO has suggested Ivy Lynn Luna. I'm not a huge fan of the double Ls though

We decided on Ivy Lee Therese, as Lee honors his mother, and Theresa honors her mother. He's not a fan of three middle names, but he likes Ivy Lee Therese. And I don't mind it either, so Ivy Lee Therese it is!
Also, I was able to convince him to let me have Rosemarie as a first name because all our other girls names have honoring mns. I slyly suggested Rosemarie Nicole (his name is Nichols) and he paused, scratched his head, and said, "Well, I suppose if you like it." So Our girls are now: Rosemarie Nicole, Laurel Jane, and Ivy Lee Therese. I'm kind of in love.
I couldn't get him to agree to Ramsay Julius, or RJ at all, so we might just take Ramsay out because we need a nn.
