some names that i would seriously use and could totally imgaine running around the house... combos and all.

esther beatrice
beatrice esther
eloise lucille
evelyn belle
sylvia violet
alice colette
molly catherine
lucille elaine

abraham
henry oliver
oliver henry
oliver morgan
morgan
louis daniel
patrick
joel patrick
harry david
jesse

ugh. boy names are a problem. isn't harry and david or something similar and fancy food store? i love abraham for a little red head. there is a fair likelihood that if matthew and i ever happened to have kids, they'd have red hair. also, abe as a nickname is cool in my book. i usually don't like nicknames. same with patrick and pat and louis with lou or louie. initials.... henry oliver gray. HOG. oliver henry, O.Henry... blaaaaah. i was liking sylvia belle until i realized it sounded so similar to silver bell. so, no. sylvia and evelyn would only be used if i had girls that were twins. sylvia and evelyn complement so well. abraham, morgan, patrick, and jesse are all names i love for firsts, but can't find a middle. lucille elaine would be for my nana... her middle is elaine and lucille/lucy is a name we both like a lot. she always called me lyssa-lucy when i was little. oh, and my middle name is aileen and it has the same letters and elaine, rearranged.

i think about names. a lot.

it's funny that you bring up camille with lucille. i've always liked astrid paired with camille or lucille. lucille has a bit of meaning behind, and camille has none. :D

Esther makes me think of a fav. book of mine... The Bell Jar.
Basing that name off the book, I couldn't imagine a normal girl with the name.

[kaugomu.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that as well, especially since sylvia also makes the list.

[tallc00lone.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[http://users.livejournal.com/-glass-/]

hm. i read a good bit of the bell jar years ago. nothing stuck with me at all. i don't remember any character names. :D anyway, i honestly try not to let any kind of character sway me from a name. especially if it wouldn't be a poor association. ariel, sebastian, belle, holden, harry, sylvia... whatever. they're nice, useable names.

[swansong19.livejournal.com]

I like most of the girls names except lucille elaine- too many e's and l's for me.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

isn't harry and david or something similar and fancy food store?
yes (http://www.harryanddavid.com).

i love most of your names. gorgeous, classic list. what a breath of fresh air! the only ones i dont like are: sylvia, morgan (cant stand it on either sex), and joel. oliver is one of my top three boys names!! :D

[arbus.livejournal.com]

initials.... henry oliver gray

i just read the rest of the post. wait a sec...is gray your last name? because it was my moms maiden name and i have been planning on using gray as a middle name for ages. oliver gray....

[http://users.livejournal.com/-glass-/]

no. the boy's last name is gray. we've been together for 3.5 years and we're at the point where it probably isn't weird to be thinking those types of things anymore.

also. his mother's maiden name was grady and she really wanted to use it as a name... but having a grady gray or a xxxx grady gray would be way too much and annoying.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

yea thats kinda what i meant. that the hypothetical babys last name would be gray. i just thought the oliver gray coincidence was kind of funny.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I like:
eloise
violet
molly

joel
jesse

I guess your names aren't my style at all... probably because I grew up in a bible-belt mennonite community where every old, harry, angry man was named "Abe", "Henry" or "Harry".

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

I love all your names. LOVE them! I think we have similar old-fashioned styles.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

I love love love this list. These are exactly my taste too.

ESTHER!!! It's so wonderful to see that someone else likes Esther. I really want to use it for a middle name.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

My friend says that if she ha twins she'd call them Jocelyn & Evelyn.. Jos & Evie.. rather cute!

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I really like Louis and Harry, and LOVE Jesse.
