May I ask where you're from? BEAR-nerd and Lay-o-nard seem like odd pronunciations of Bernard and Leonard.

I'm Canadian but my family is Afrikaans. Those are the closest phonetic spelling I can come up with to how my family says those names, haha.

Ooh, interesting. I thought it might be a regional thing. I'm from Southern California and we say Bernard "bur-NARD" and Leonard "LEN-erd."

I think that pairing Marilyn and Jean might be a bit much (as in Marilyn Monroe whose real name was Norma Jeane), but overall I like most of your girls' names. The boys' names are totally not my style, I wouldn't know what to suggest.

Of your girls names though, I like:
Margaret Louisa Jean
Eve Louisa Jean
Helena Margaret Jean
Helen-Claire Louisa

Marilyn doesn't slow well with these (imo) although I love the name Marilyn as well.

Haha I totally forgot to explain that the reason I put Marilyn and Jean together a lot is because that's my mom's full name I love it. I always forget the Marilyn Monroe thing until someone reminds me, haha. My grandmother was Margaret Jean too, and other women before have also been M_____ Jean so I've always been sort of sad I missed out on the MJ tradition on that side because I love it a lot :P

But thanks! That really helps, because I might try to find another MJ name that isn't quite so reminiscent of someone else, haha.
