I like both. I think they're good choices - they're recognizable names that are really nice. Classic yet modern-sounding enough to use.

I would wonder if the parents of these children were religious as they are both biblical names. I'm not keen on either name, but they work well together and wouldn't look out of place amongst other children or adults as they grow up.

I have a gr aunt named Naomi and she couldn't be further from "snobby", "fake" and "high-aired"; salt of the earth, warm, loving and a hard worker, too.

Conservative, mainstream. Identifies with mainstream values and has no sense of alienation. Someone who does not think of her/himself as an underdog in any way. Probably privileged.

I love them both. Middle names?

How mad are you going to be if the new princess turns out to be a horrible person and you've named a kid after her?

That's harsh. She may be a lovely person. I was gonna name my daughter when I was little Anastasia Nikoletta after the princess.

Might be. Might not be. That's the point, you shouldn't name a baby after another baby because you don't know how they'll turn out. Like how a bunch of people named their baby Miley when Miley Cyrus was popular on the Disney channel and then she started twerking and people aren't as into using it now.
Princess Anastasia of Russia is dead. You know how she turned out. If you admire her, you can honor her, but it's kind of silly to honor an infant imo.

I once wanted to honor Lance Armstrong. But then he was outed for drug doping and stripped of his jerseys. So it's just as well i never had the chance.
I might honor a living family member, or someone after they retire, but i prefer to honor dead people because of what you say.

I sorta feel the same way about people you actually know personally. Don't honour until they are dead and it's safe to be nostalgic about them. Or if you already know all their "bad points" and you're comfy with them.
I've had friends and even family members who I once adored and would have honoured in an instant at the time I was close to them, but living people have a super annoying tendency to grow and change, and not always in a way I might enjoy.
Is that a gross sentiment? I feel a bit bad for admitting it but I'm also low on impulse control today and I'm oversharing.

They're very nice names. They're pretty mainstream so there's no particular type that jumps out at me as "Oh, the parents must be ..." But they would be very typical of an Amish, fundamentlaist Christian or observant Jewish family.
Again, however, they're fairly popular across the board.

I like them although Samuel is just ok, whereas I really like Naomi. I wouldn't make any judgement based on those names, although some might say 'religious' as they are both religious names, although in this day and age I don't think religious names are a great indicator of whether someone is actually religious.
