Boys:
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_m]Cillian[/name_m]

[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]

Girls:
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] (nicknamed [name_f]Evie[/name_f])

[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
I like all of your girls combos but the boys combos are a bit plain.
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] - I think both names are really nice but I’m not sure how much I like them together, I’m also inclined to say “Sillyan” when the name isn’t the first name
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] - this feels like a very common combo, it’s very handsome though and I love [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], I feel neutral about [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], it definitely makes [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] feel more grown up/buttoned-up as [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is a very adult name to me
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - very classic but/and I like it
[name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] - neither name is for me and together the combo feels very 50s, retro rather than vintage
[name_m]Richard[/name_m] [name_m]Alan[/name_m] (Nicknamed [name_m]Rico[/name_m]) - same as [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], that makes them a great sibset, though
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Julia[/name_f] - not a fan of the double -ia ending, they sound very repetitive together ([name_f]Claudia[/name_f] also feels dated to me but only because it’s been very popular here about 40-50 years ago)
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] (nicknamed [name_f]Evie[/name_f]) - this feels a tad too religious for me, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is beautiful though and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], while not my style, is very pretty
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] (Nicknamed [name_f]Flick[/name_f]) - I don’t love either name, they’re just not for me, but they both feel on-trend and go well together, [name_f]Flick[/name_f] isn’t for me as it sounds like a horse’s name (Flicka); I much prefer Fliss
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - great name, [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] is quirky and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is grounded, the combo is very classic
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - I really like [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], I do like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] but only with the [name_f]Sara[/name_f] spelling as it looks less trendy to me (I mainly associate [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] with how popular it has been in the 80s-90s rather than a vintage name, [name_f]Sara[/name_f] therefore looks more timeless to me)
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] feels slightly dated, [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is nice but I do prefer [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] as it looks more feminine
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] but dislike [name_m]Cillian[/name_m]. As @opheliaflora said, I would also pronounce this Sillyan (and I don’t like the Kill- sound in the correct pn)
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Jude[/name_u], not big on [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]. I’d prefer [name_m]Christian[/name_m] (or [name_u]Kristian[/name_u])
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - I really love this. [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is vintage and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is very classic and traditional.
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - I’m not a fan of [name_m]Louis[/name_m]. I like [name_u]James[/name_u] in the middle though. My brothers name is Lewys [name_u]James[/name_u] (Lewys is the Welsh spelling of [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], pn the same)
[name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] - Dislike both names, I can only think of a man in his 50s.
[name_m]Richard[/name_m] [name_m]Alan[/name_m] (Nicknamed [name_m]Rico[/name_m]) - Same as above, though I like it more.
Girls:
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Julia[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] but [name_f]Julia[/name_f] is too outdated imo. Also the repeated -ia ending makes it sound a bit off.
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] (nicknamed [name_f]Evie[/name_f]) - This is cute. Im not big on [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], but the combo is very pretty and classical and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is a gorgeous nickname
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] (Nicknamed [name_f]Flick[/name_f]) - Same as above. I love [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and the combo is so pretty but I’ve never liked [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] for some reason. I’d like to see [name_f]Faye[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] instead.
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - I quite like the combo. I love the name [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], I find her exotic yet familiar. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is so outdated though, however it works nicely in the middle spot with [name_f]Georgia[/name_f].
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] is gorgeous, [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] a bit plain.
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - dislike this, very outdated
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] - I like this. I think that I prefer [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] and [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] separated, for flow, but it is nice.
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] - love [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] and love the nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. Great combo!
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - very handsome, vintage classic.
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - this is nice too, not my favorite, but it’s a good choice too.
[name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] - don’t really like [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] together, but am liking seeing [name_m]Paul[/name_m]. I think that [name_m]Paul[/name_m] is a great name.
[name_m]Richard[/name_m] [name_m]Alan[/name_m] - it’s okay.
My favorites picks from the boys are [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Julia[/name_f] - don’t like the names together. I will disagree that [name_f]Julia[/name_f] is too outdated though, I am 28 and hardly think that my name of [name_f]Julia[/name_f] makes someone think of an old person.
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] - love it!
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] - lovely.
The next three are just okay for me.
My faves from your girls are [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f].
