help?

[pumpkindoodles.livejournal.com]

I have been compiling a list of my favorite names for over a year now. It had become an obsession at some point, and I had narrowed the list down to about 15-20 names each for boys and girls. Now that I am pregnant, I am even more critical of my list, and am having the hardest time coming up with combinations that I truly love. Not only that, but it seems my husband and I have fairly different taste when it comes to names.

The only thing that we have decided for sure is that if we have a boy, the middle name will be James (my husband's name).


Beckett
Blake
Caleb
Carter
Chase
Connor
Corbin
Dexter
Elliot
Graham
Jacob
Jasper
Landon
Liam
Matthew
Nathaniel
Owen
Preston
Warren



Adeline
Ayla
Cadence
Corinne
Eliza
Gabriella
Juliet
Kate
Katelyn
Kayla
Lila
Lydia
Molly
Naomi
Noelle
Paige
Ruby
Scarlet
Sierra
Starla
Violet


I'm hoping some of you can come up with some combinations of these names that I haven't considered yet and just may fall in love with. Keep in mind I'm not asking for your opinion of the names, just some possible combos.

Edited to add: For the boys, I'd love suggestions of all combinations (not just with James as the middle name). If we ever have more than one son, the second will not have James as a middle name.

Thanks for your help!

I really like Dexter, Graham, and Corbin as siblings for boys - they're all unique without being out there, and both grow up well and sound cute at the same time. All the ones I listed are great, but those are the faves.

For girls, I like:

Adeline

I really like the sound of Juliet, Ruby, and Eliza as siblings, and I think they sound good with Graham, Corbin, and Dexter as siblings.

If you were to have six kids, I'd go with:
Dexter James
Corbin Beckett
Graham Elliot
Juliet Adeline
Eliza Naomi
Ruby Corrine

I really like Violet Adeline and Dexter James. Only potential problem with Dexter James is that I don't care for DJ as a nickname and I know the temptation would be there for some people.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Beckett, Carter, Dexter, Landon and Liam all sound really nice with James as a middle name. I really like the combinations of Nathanial Preston and Connor Blake too.

For girls, I love the names Ruby and Violet. I don't think they'd go well together though, too many colors, haha. Adeline Paige and Sierra Kate all sound nice to me.

I wouldn't use a one syllable name with James, it sounds choppy to me. So on your list, I would say Chase and Blake don't work with James.
