I thought I'd join in too. I don't normally join the bandwagon, but I thought this feature was particularly cool. BTW Wellstone is for the late Senator Paul Wellstone aka my hero. I don't think I'd ever use it, I just didn't have a middle name that wasn't Manning.  Boys names are hard for me to decide on.

Um, I love you for wanting to name your kid after Paul Wellstone. Just saying. I mean, he wouldn't be the politician I'd name my kid after, but he was a good guy, and as a politics geek, I just about squeed when I saw that, haha.

I really like Atticus Sawyer for a boy; it's probably my favorite on your list. Great name :). I also really like Caleb Manning and Thatcher Wellstone. I'd probably go with Atticus & Caleb as a sibset; I think they sound really good together.

I don't really like Malachy or Kaiis, but that's probably just personal preference on Malachy, and the fact that I have no idea how to pronounce Kaiis. I do like Nicolai, though. What about Nicolai Kaiis? Or Archer Malachy? I don't know, I just think they're better names.

For girls, I LOVE Louisa Kathleen, Leila Morgan, and Ada Maureen. I don't really like Aurelia Jo, because it seems so cutesy; maybe Aurelia Josephine would be better? It just sounds a lot more sophisticated to me, and she could still be called Relie Jo if you wanted. Felicity Soleil, Georgia Harper, and Lena Carys are all okay, just not the ones I'd pick. Lena Carys is growing on me, though; I like Lena, and I think I'd like it even better with a different middle name. What about Lena Morgan?

The only ones I don't like are Briar Carys and Morgan Hadley. I've never liked the names Briar or Carys, and together, they just do nothing for me. I think you have some gorgeous names on the list, so it makes me dislike that one even more. I prefer Morgan on a boy, but I know it's unisex. I think maybe using a more feminine middle name than Hadley might make me like it better.

Morgan Carys
Morgan Soleil
Morgan Leila
Morgan Kathleen
Morgan Josephine
Morgan Lena

For the boys I love Oliver West, Caleb Manning, and Thatcher. Collin Matthew is nice, but rather plain for my liking. I think Adam Joseph Manning is too much though.

Kaiis is the name of one of Geena Davis's kids. I have never known if this is supposed to be a kreaytiv spelling of Caius or if it's supposed to sound like kice, case, etc.

I had to give it a thumbs down because of the celeb-worshipping angle, although Caius would get a thumbs up.

Also, regarding using "Licie" as a short form of Felicity, would you be open to Lissie instead? Licie looks like LICE and kids will jump on that in an instant.
