Wdyt of these combos?

Declan Peter
Nathan Charles
Lucas Henry
Rhys William
Harrison James
Theodore Ryan
Jack Nolan

Ivy Sophia
Lacey Annabel
Fiona Marie
Olive Denise
Layla Bryony
Alice Harriet

ETA: What do you think of Edward? Also, would it be weird to name one child Nathan and give another John/Jonathan as a middle name? If it makes a difference, daddys name is Jonathan "Johnny".

I like the girls names more separately than i do as combos. love Fiona, Olive & Alice.

my favorites out of the boys are Declan Peter & Harrison James.

Yeah.. I agree the girl combos probably don't work too well.. We definately find boy names much easier than girls. None of the names we like/names we'd like to use to honor people seem to sound good together and things we think sound alright we don't like individually.

Jack Nolan feels a bit off to me. Theodore Ryan sounds fine, but they feel different stylistically. Maybe Theodore Nolan and Jack Ryan? I don't know. Rhys William may or maynot work. It depends on the number of syllables in the last name. Layla Bryony is very 'y' heavy and Layla and Bryony feel like they don't go well together.

The rest of the combinations sound great.

Individually, I like: Declan, Rhys, William, Harrison, James, Theodore, and Alice. And I've been thinking about Harriet lately, mostly because I adore the nn Hattie.

As far as thoughts on the first names, Ivy has always struck me as a sexy name and therefore not one I would want to use for my child. I think that's because I first encountered it as a name on Poison Ivy in Batman when I was quite young. Lacey sounds too cutesy to me. I don't think it would age well. The rest are either ones I mentioned above as favorites of mine or they just aren't my style but I don't have a problem with them.

Its interesting you think of Ivy as a sexy name.. we were worried it was too old lady. I agree, Lacey is very cutesy and tbh, my husbands pick rather than mine, as is Layla. Jack and Ryan are names we'd use to honour people, rather than names we're in love with, so likely none of the names in those combos would end up on a baby. The last name is one syllable and is similar to "Brooke".

I like most of the boy combos. For the girls, I only like Alice Harriet, though I like some of the other names individually.

I love all the boys combinations. My favorites are Lucas Henry, Rhys William, Jack Nolan, and Declan Peter (and I don't usually like Declan much). For the girls, I really like Fiona Marie and Alice Harriet.

I love Edward. Nathan as a first name and John as a middle name wouldn't seem weird in a sibset, especially if Nathan was older. Nathan and Jonathan might be a bit glaring, though.

These are all fine combos except Olive Denise and Alice Harriet. They don't seem to flow well together to me.

I also hate Bryony. I have a hard time pronouncing correctly. I always say Byrony instead. I don't know why. :/

I wouldn't name a second child after a parent and not the first without a good reason as I worry that would create some resentment. We are likely going to name our first son after my deceased brother, at least his first name, which I'd say is a good reason. Not sure if it will be the first or middle name yet (his name was Jeremy; we're likely going to go with Jeremiah).

Any way you can just go with John?

I like Edward. It will likely be incorporated into one of our hypothetical future son's names because it's my husband's middle name (and he's a third, goes by Ted, short for Edward).
