Top 3 and middle names

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I've updated my favourite names list since the last time I posted. These are my top three names for each gender, what I'd probably name a kid if I had one now:

BOYS
1. Leander
2. Nathaniel
3. Colin

GIRLS
1. Norah
2. Margaret
3. Camilla

For middle names, I like Norah Josephine, Margaret Theodora, and Camilla Marie-Louise. I want to use Autumn as a middle name, but I'd not sure what it would work best with. I like Genevieve Autumn, but I still haven't decided whether I want to keep Genevieve on my favourites list or not.

As for boys, I like Leander William or Nathaniel William. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Thoughts?

Does Marie-Louise rhyme?

No.

Okay. I was worried there for a second.

I LOVE Nathaniel, Colin, Margaret, and Norah. Camilla and Leander are okay, too, and they're both definitely unique without being kr8tyve, but they're not really my style.

Nathaniel William is perfect, and it works with Leander, too. And I think (with Leander) the combo of a very common/traditional middle name with a less common/unique first name is really nice and it balances it out.

I really like your middle names for Norah and Margaret, too, but I don't think Marie-Louise flows well with Camilla. What about just Louise?

Camilla Autumn sounds nice, too, but I prefer it with Genevieve. Are you pronouncing Genevieve in the French way, or the Americanized way?

I love Camilla (though not with a double middle name- how about Camilla Josephine?) Prefer Nora without the h, it sort of seems extraneous and fussy and unnecessary.

The boys names are nice though Leander is a bit sissy-sounding to me.

What should I use instead of Leander - Butch? :P

I LOVE Nathaniel and Leander. Both of those are on my favourites!

i adore all of your names, except for colin (reminds me of the word colon).
leander and nathaniel are awesome. norah, margaret, and camilla are beautiful. i especially like camilla, reminds me of mulholland drive, have you seen it? your middle names are great, too. theodora is my newest on my favorites list. i don't know where you could fit autumn into your names, since norah and camilla both end in A sounds they wouldn't really flow with autumn...margaret autumn would be okay, but then you would miss out on theodora. genevieve autumn is nice. anyway, you have excellent taste in names. :)
