What do you all think of...

I just found and joined this community. My wife and I are trying to have our first child.

We already have the names chosen (ok, we actually had the names chosen before we were married :) )

Anyway,

if our first child is a girl: Inari Elizabeth Mary-Catherine LeBlanc

if our first child is a boy: Keegan George Reilly LeBlanc

Other possibilities for second and beyond children of the same sex as the first include:

Girls:
Caitlin Jocelyn Aurora LeBlanc
Jena Rhiannon Amelia LeBlanc

Boys:
Elijah Daniel Liam LeBlanc

Just wondering what y'all think? Also, if it matters, my wife and I were born and raised in New England, she is mostly Irish/Welch and I am predominately French-Canadian with a bunch of other stuff thrown in.

I like all of the names individually (except Mary-Catherine) but I don't like that there are so many of them. It's such a mouthful to have four names. But I do like the names.

Mary-Catherine is my Best friend's name, and she would've been our first child's Godmother if she was still alive.

As for all the names, We kind of want to do something different from the rest of our families when it comes to naming, and one of my other best friend's husband has two middle names, which is where we got the idea from.

Oh well if it's a family name that makes all the difference. Seriously. My partner and I already know that when we're married and start a family, if we have a boy his middle name will be Jerome. I don't particularly care for the name itself, but it's named after a remarkable man, my partner's grandfather who was more of a father figure to him than his own dad ever was, and died when my partner was 7. So yeah...significance of a name makes a huge difference.

I understand that.

* George was my Grandfather's name
* Elizabeth is my wife's middle name, and her Great-Grandmother's name
* Daniel was one of my best friend's name
* Elijah is a name I've always liked, and is also the male form of Alijah, which is one of my wife's cousins
* Inari is named after a friend of mine from Canada
* Reilly is my Mother-in-law's family name, which my wife likes as a name
