Thanksgiving Challenge!!

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm stuffed and parked on the couch so I thought I throw down the name challenge gauntlet! The challenge of these themes are that you must include middle names that you honestly think go well with the name (doesn't have to be the same theme, but bonus points lol; they don't have to be names you'd give your baby, but there must be something you like about it). Must have a boy and girl entry minimum, but feel free to share as many as you can come up with! I'll post mine in the comments.

Ready! Set! Go!

I love the name Ginevra (go HP!). I also like Minerva.

Phaedra

I like the look of this name. How is it pronounced?

[rorylareina.livejournal.com]

I pronounce it FEE-dra, but I think it can also be FAY-dra.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

I like it. Lovely sound, both ways.

I love Becket and Ismene.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Your taste is awesome. I'd make a list of what I like here, but I'd pretty much be duplicating the list, nearly. I've never thought of Canaan as a place name (it never crossed my mind), and it's awesome.

[rorylareina.livejournal.com]

I know brothers named Canaan and Eden, for that very theme.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Oh my... I'd hate it normally, but in this case I can't bring mself to. That's AWESOME.

ANIMAL DREAMS! I love the name Cosima because of that book, even though she went by Codi instead.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I normally hatehatehate boy-names-on-girls, but Barbara Kingsolver made me fall in love with the names Taylor and Codi for girls. I would never use Codi and I probably wouldn't ever use Taylor but they both just give me a warm happy feeling inside.
