Hi all,

What do you think of the following? Feel free to be harsh.

for a girl:

Eleanor Grace (first and middle names of my grandmother)
Eleanor Rose (first names of mine and my partner's grandmothers)
Nora Marie
Violet
Constance
Ada
Natalie
Agatha
Felicity
Charlotte
Phoebe


for a boy:

Micah
Ezekiel
Nathaniel
Gideon
Jude
David
Isaac
Reuben
Ari
Byron

I don't want something that will be too common (I was alway sick of having to know Jennifer A., B., C. and Chris X., Y., and Z. in school) but I also want something that people can recognize.

Also, help with middle names on any of these? I'm tempted to throw in something kinda bizarre like "Lyric" or "Newton" or even "Reason" or "Darwin", but I'd be just as happy to put in a second real name that went well.
