Artemis sounds so masculine to me, I can't even believe that it's a girl's name. But anyway. Evangeline has to be my favourite there for girls, and then Liam and Benjamin for the boys.

I really like the sound of Evangeline Adrienne, and think that Stella Remy is nice too. Liam Benjamin, Zachariah Todd, Zachariah James.

Ok, I'm going to stick with the ones you like best. Of the girls names I REALLY like Maren the best. Because it's probably one of the 'simpler' names in your list I think it would sound good with one of the other more extravagant ones like

Maren Isadora
Maren Artemis
Maren Juliet

Of the boys, as a first name I like Benjamin or Todd the best. Your surname would help decide which sounds best. The two names would go well together also.

Benjamin Todd
Todd Benjamin

and even though Ross is not one of your top favorites...

Benjamin Ross

I really like that too.

I agree that Adrienne Claire is really pretty. Other good combos, to me, are Evangeline Maren (or Remy) and Isadora Claire.

For boys any combination of Adrian, Benjamin, Collin (though I prefer spelling it with one l), Liam, Vincent or Zachariah (though I prefer Zachary) with James, Ross or Todd would be nice. Vincent would also make a good middle name (Adrian Vincent, Liam Vincent, Zachariah Vincent).

I seriously love Artemis and have contemplated using it. I also like Lily and Maren. A lot.

I like all your boy names except one (which I won't mention) because of an association with a stalker of mine. But that doesn't make it a bad name, just, I can't ever think of it as just a name, if that makes any sense.

I love Maren and Juliet. Artemis is a little out there for my tastes. Vincent is my favorite of your boy names, and I have a student this year who I keep calling Adrian, even though it's not his name. I can't figure out why I call him that.

Adrienne - i prefer this on a boy, but it's okay.
Artemis - i think it's too over the top.
Claire - i like this as a middle name
Cordelia - like
Diana - dislike..for some reason it seems dated to me.
Evangeline - like
Isadora - see artemis. but i think it's a pretty name. maybe as a middle name?
Juliet - like
Lily - i've gotten so bored with it
Maren - love
Remy - i really don't know how i feel about this name. i think i prefer romy.
Stella - it's okay
Tessa - dislike, but i like tess a lot


Adrian - like
Alasdair - i've never seen this. i 've only ever seen alastair. i'm not a big fan of either though.
Benjamin - for some reason i like ben, but not benjamin.
Collin - eh
James - love
Liam - really like, but it's SO common now =/
Ross - kind of neutral. i think it'd be a good middle name.
Todd - dislike
Vincent - dislike
Zachariah - dislike

I like most of these names, although Remy is traditionally a French male name. I think it could be cute as a nickname for something (though I'm not sure what), but by itself it's too masculine for a girl. Also, I get the sense that you prefer names that are somewhat unusual. If it would bother you if your kid a really popular name, I'd stay away from Lily as a first name, it's gotten pretty common lately.

Combinations I like:
Adrienne Claire
Adrienne Lily
Claire Evangeline
Diana Lily
Juliet Artemis
Juliet Maren
Stella Claire
Stella Diana
Tessa Juliet
Tessa Lily

Ross Vincent
Vincent Ross
(the only two boys' names of yours I'm super-fond of haha)

Adrian makes me think of that whiny song by jewel. it's soooo depressing.

Our niece is Adrienne and they prefer to pronounce it the French way. Of course all the neighbors say "Ade-ree-anne" not "Ah-dree-ahn."

I'm a huge fan of a lot of your names, especially Claire, Lil(l)y, and Alasdair, and the only names I really don't like (funnily enough) are Adrian and Adrienne.

I think any number of combos could work. I like Lily Evangeline and Alasdair Todd, but you'd be best to pick out your favourites and play around with them a bit, see how they work with your surname. I'm sure whatever you picked, it'd be great.
