[name]Hi[/name], GMDC! [name]Welcome[/name]!
Firstly, let me just say that [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Louise[/name] is a lovely, feminine, beautiful name! It introduces some questions for me - 1) does Miss [name]Cecilia[/name] use a nickname, and 2) what is the last name?
Let’s move on to my initial observations of your name list…
On the girls’ side, you seem to favor classic names, sometimes with a twist (e.g., [name]Penelope[/name]). [name]June[/name], too, is a nod not only to the month but to the past. I love the combination of [name]Penelope[/name] [name]June[/name], too! [name]Mary[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name], separately, are lovely - especially [name]Margaret[/name] - but I, personally, do not care for hyphenated names, and [name]Mary[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] sounds slightly dated and overtly religious (think [name]Mary[/name] [name]Magdalene[/name]) to me. Was that what you were going for? The one - HUGE - outlier in your list for me is [name]Summer[/name]. I think you are trying to honor the season, but I think there could be other ways to honor [name]Summer[/name] if it is important to you…
On the boys’ side, you have a great list of classics, including one of my favorites, [name]Henry[/name]! It is playful and sturdy, like [name]Cecilia[/name], which I like, but it doesn’t really have a clear nickname, unless [name]Harry[/name] or [name]Hank[/name] appeal to you. [name]James[/name] is another favorite of mine, and [name]Martin[/name] is a handsome name that I like in the middle. Considering [name]Henry[/name] [name]James[/name] is an author, I’d vote for [name]Henry[/name] [name]Martin[/name] off the list.
Another thing I noticed from your daughter’s name is that it favors the L sound. Is that a sound you particularly like, or would you like to choose a certain sound to focus on with this baby’s name, too? [name]Just[/name] a thought…
