You do have really beautiful names! Some comments:
Girls -
Out of [name]Molly[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name], I usually prefer [name]Molly[/name] but like [name]Margaret[/name] better with your middles. Between [name]Lilly[/name] and [name]Lillian[/name] I prefer [name]Lily[/name] (and the one “L” spelling), and I like [name]Elisabeth[/name] better than [name]Elsie[/name] (and love the more unique spelling! It just feels much softer without the “z” in there!). I like both spellings of [name]Eleanor[/name], and absolutely [name]ADORE[/name] the nickname [name]Elle[/name]. With that said, if you love [name]Elle[/name] I would name the baby [name]Eleanor[/name] and use it as a nn - [name]Eleanor[/name] just feels more complete to me. I feel the same way about [name]Mae[/name] as a first name - it’s lovely as a middle, but just doesn’t feel “full” enough as a first. My top 5 girls names off of your list would be:
- [name]Lydia[/name] - [name]Just[/name] love the sound of this one! It’s really one of my favorites and sounds great with many of the middles.
- [name]Elisabeth[/name] - As I previously mentioned, I love this spelling, and the nickname [name]Elle[/name] is adorable! You could also use [name]Eleanor[/name] to get to [name]Elle[/name], but I prefer this one.
- [name]Camilla[/name] - Really like this as well. I prefer [name]Camille[/name], but both have a lovely sound.
- [name]Lilly[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my favorites, and it would have been ranked higher if it was spelled with one “L” and if it wasn’t so darn popular! Why must everyone like the same names?
- [name]Margaret[/name] - Very pretty name, and again, lots of nickname possibilities.
Boys -
- [name]Jude[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] it! Great meaning, great sound, great everything - undoubtedly my favorite from your list. Masculine but still light.
- [name]Noah[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my favorites, but it is VERY popular. Still a great name, and a nice Biblical connection.
- [name]Elliott[/name] - I like this spelling, and it is just generally a great name!
- [name]Zachary[/name] - I’ve always liked the sound, though it may be a bit overused.
- [name]Charles[/name] - Lots of cute nicknames, and it’s such a well-established name. A good choice.
All right, now some combos. For the girls:
I second the suggestion of [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] or [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Marie[/name] (too popular sounding?), [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Laurel[/name], [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Lara[/name] (variations of [name]Laura[/name]), [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name] [name]Patrice[/name] (French version of [name]Patricia[/name])
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Giselle[/name] (too many L’s?), [name]Lilly[/name] [name]Annabelle[/name], [name]Lilly[/name] [name]Eileen[/name] OR [name]Aileen[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Giselle[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Marie[/name] (I’m actually kind of liking the alliteration here, but does [name]Marie[/name] feel too overdone in the middle?), [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name]
For the boys:
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Leonidas[/name], [name]Jude[/name] [name]Larson[/name]; maybe try some saint names in the middle here? I feel like you need a longer name to go with [name]Jude[/name]…maybe [name]Jude[/name] [name]Abraham[/name], [name]Jude[/name] [name]Andrew[/name], [name]Jude[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Jude[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Jude[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Jude[/name] [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Jude[/name] [name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]…none of the family names seem to flow here; my suggestions would be [name]Noah[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Noah[/name] [name]Balthasar[/name], [name]Noah[/name] [name]Isaiah[/name], [name]Noah[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name] [name]Henry[/name], [name]Elliott[/name] [name]Roland[/name], [name]Elliott[/name] [name]Leonidas[/name]/[name]Elliott[/name] [name]Leon[/name]
[name]Zachary[/name] [name]Roland[/name], [name]Zachary[/name] [name]Paul[/name], [name]Zachary[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name] (saint name), [name]Charles[/name] [name]Bernard[/name], [name]Charles[/name] [name]Roland[/name]
My favorite saint names for girls: [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Anastasia[/name], [name]Dorothea[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], [name]Juliana[/name], [name]Melania[/name]
[name]Saint[/name] names for boys: [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Christopher[/name], [name]Crispin[/name], [name]Damian[/name], [name]Felix[/name], [name]Finnbarr[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Theodore[/name]
I hope this helps you! You have a really great start here!
