[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] - my father’s name and my S/O’s middle name
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] - my S/O’s mother’s name and my mother’s name
[name_u]Francis[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] - my S/O’s father & brother’s name, the dorm we met in freshman year of college
We’re expecting the 4th: [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] (my name & family name) if it’s a girl and [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] (name we both love plus my brother’s name) if it’s a boy
Our sibset would be [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_f]Cate[/name_f]/[name_f]Catie[/name_f] OR [name_u]Nick[/name_u]/[name_u]Nicky[/name_u]. What do you think of each individually as well as a set?
[name_m]Just[/name_m] out of principle, I don’t rate the names of pre-existing children. However, I don’t have anything bad to say about the names of your kids. They all seem like names that most anyone would be happy to have.
As for the sibset, I think it sounds lovely with either full boy or girl name you have chosen. As for the nns, I personally prefer [name_f]Cate[/name_f] and [name_u]Nicky[/name_u]. My only hesitation is that if you use either [name_f]Cate[/name_f]/[name_u]Nick[/name_u] as a nickname, they don’t fit with the -ee ending sound of your other kids’ nicknames. That said, the kid might not even mind having a nickname that doesn’t fit the theme of his or her siblings’ nicknames, so if it’s not a dealbreaker for you, I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the options you have here. Congrats by the way!
