My husband's first and middle initials are JM, and mine are KM. So we decided years ago that when we have children, they'll progress through the alphabet in the same manner. LM, MM, NM, and so on (if I have more than three, of course.) . 

Agreeing on names is kind of difficult for us, but we've managed to think of a name for our firstborn, depending on gender.  (Note: I'm not even pregnant yet, but we both like to plan ahead.)

Lenore Megan for a girl
Liam Maddox for a boy

The real challenge will be thinking of names when we have a second child.

:) We both like non-traditional names. It took me a long time to talk him out of Loki for a boy.

I looove Lenore. I love Liam too though my step-sister-in-law (phew) named her son Liam, along with every other person in America. Still, like the name.

My grandfather's name was William, and even though one of my cousins used the name Liam for his son, I plan to use it anyway. I only see him at Christmas, and sometimes he's not even there.

I'm not feeling Lenore, maybe that's because it's my Gramma's name, but anyways.

Liam/Lenore

Mischa Madeleine (or you could reverse it...that's meesha)
Michael Maxton

Kiana Maria
Kieran Moses(?)

OH, haha I'm a tardo and I suck at the alphabet.

If I followed that pattern, mind would be:
Lenora May
Leo Marcus

Meredith Mara
Matthew Miller

Nora Meredith
Nathaniel Matthew

I used repeats...that was harder than I thought!

I really like the names you picked out. And that you didn't do some stupid tradition...

My father decided that he would carry on with my great-grandmother's tradition (my grandmother and her siblings all were named with D's...Donna, Douglas, Diane, and five more) and named me and my siblings with all E's. Fortunately, I got Elyse. My brother and sister are named Eric and Erin. But this tradition is ridiculous. Now my children are supposed to name their kids with all F's. Yeah right. Felicia, Felicity, Fernando...WTF?

Sorry, you probably don't care. I should have just said "kudos."

My cousin named his baby Madison Marie. So that could go for your MM for a girl.

I have a friend named Loki. It works for him!

[smurfb1ue.livejournal.com]

That's such a fun idea.

I adore both Liam and Maddox (they're on my short-list, though I want Liam Seamus and Maddox Joaquin).
If I were to follow your trend I'd go:

Maddox Mikhail
Moira Madeline

Noam Miqueas
Norah Mae

I like this. If I did this, M would have to be the middle initial as well. I also love Liam and Maddox. My grandfather is William Miles, so I want a Liam Miles. My middle name is Michelle and I have no qualms about passing that on.

Liana Michelle
Liam Miles

Mira Michelle
Maddox Miles

There aren't any "N" names - boy or girl - that I like very well.

[slayerkate.livejournal.com]

I like the name Liana.

For N, I like Noelle, but that's better if the baby would be born on or around Christmas. (And was also female. I don't like Noel, for some reason.)

[godmod.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm a Christmas baby, Holli.

Noelle is a lovely name. I work with a little girl named Noelle and a little boy named Noah. They're toddlers, so we're often saying "No Noelle!" or "No Noah!" when they're getting into something. Now, even if you're just saying their names, for a second they think they're in trouble, because "no" is the first thing they hear. So..."No" names are off my list : )

Hmm. Thinking off the top of my head, I'd have to say:

LM
Leora Michal
Levi Menachem
MM
Margalit Meira
Moshe Matityahu
NM
Nechama Miriam
Noam Mordechai

[xchelsynessx.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I'd say:

Lilith Marie
Lane Michael

Madelyn Mae
Mason Marlowe

Nadia Meade
Noah Maddox
