Please go here to vote:

My Name List.

Additionally, I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on the order of "if you like XX, you might like XX." I've been using Nymbler, but I'm beginning to believe that it's just not as smart as it claims to be.

My top faves:

Girls: Lydia, Claire, Tessa, Nina, Margaret
Boys: Oliver, Dominic, Theodore

To go with sibling Alice Katherine.


Go!

I feel personally Margaret is too self-consciously old-fashioned that it either sounds clunky or trying-too-hard indy. It has a stodginess to it that the other classic girls' names don't - esp the shortned form Maggie - so I'd nix it unless you have some relative to honor. Love the boys.

You might try other English names. Your favs seem to be a lot of classics. Behindthename.com is the best site around, and arranges them by everything including nationality.

Claire - While I like the name, it ends up sounding a little bit like "clear space" to my ears so I voted no.
Corinne - Not one of my favorites, but it sounds fine with the last name.
Elizabeth - While I love the name Elizabeth, I feel like the --th S-- is a little difficult to say. It comes out sounding slightly lispy or something.
Frances - It's not really a name I care for to begin with, but the main reason I voted no was because there were too many 's' sounds between it and the last name.
Lauren - I voted no on this one, but I'm starting to second guess myself. I've never liked the name (and I'm a Lauren myself), but it sounds really good with your last name. Ooh, but I forgot about the sibling thing. I think Lauren is too modern to go with Alice.
Leah - Another name for which I have just never cared.
Lydia - A very pretty name. I voted yes, although I kind of...well, it's really weird of me but Lydia is such a flowery, old-fashioned sort of name and your last name makes me think of space and the future and the dichotomy seems a little strange to me. Other than the mismatched images it conjures for me, it sounds fine, and it does go quite well with Alice.
Margaret - This is one of my favorite names in general and of your picks. I think it sounds good with the last name and it has so many nickname options -- Greta, Meg, Maggie, etc!
Nina - Sounds fine, just not one I like.
Olivia - It sounds fine, but I'm pretty sure I voted no, the reason being that it is so popular right now.
Theresa/Tessa - Theresa isn't a name I care for, although I think Tessa is really cute. Still, I voted no because of the abundance of 's' sounds.

Bennett - I think this is my favorite of all of the boy's names.
Charles - I don't really care for Charles and the S's run together so it ends up sounding a bit like the name is Charl S---.
Dominic - This also sounds really good with your last name, although it vibes differently than Alice to me.
Hunter - I don't care for this name and it seems so different stylistically from your other choices.
Joshua - I can't remember how I voted, but it is awfully popular right now and I don't care for it with Alice.
Linus - I adore this name, but again, I don't like how the S runs into the last name.
Micah - Okay name. Sounds fine with the last name. Don't like it with Alice.
Oliver - I like the name well enough and it goes well with Alice, but I hear "all over space" when I say the first and last together.
Russell - I like the name okay, but it doesn't really stand out from your other choices for me.
Samuel - I'm not sure how I feel about the matching initials.
Theodore - This is my other male favorite of your choices, and I think it goes excellently with Alice.

Other names you may like:
Cora
Tabitha
Jane
Charlotte

William (very popular though)
Julian
Quentin
Donovan
Hugo

I love your name choices... Claire is definitely in my top 5 and I would definitely consider Lydia, Nina and Margaret (in fact, if I ever have a daughter her name will be Claire Margaret!) Boys' too are all on my list.

Other names that I like: Audrey, Bridget, Charlotte, Olivia, Veronica/Vera, Henry, Robert, William/Liam, Connor, Owen/Rowen

You have good taste :) the only ones I didn't love were Hunter, Micah, Lauren and Camilla. And I'm not even really opposed to them, I just don't love them the way I do the others.

Tessa is in my top 5!
