I'm wondering if the issue I have isn't the fact that they are too upper class, but that they're very Catholic sounding to me. I'm a Baptist, bone and bred, and Miriam/Jonas are more homey to me than Magdalene and Raphael. To my boyfriend, however, who is Catholic, he prefers them.
It's a frustrating situation.

I agree, Magdalene (I prefer Magdalena) and Raphael do have strong Catholic vibes for me (but then I am Catholic and love both names).
But, I think the question is what are you going to raise your children as, Baptist or Catholic (or neither)? I mean with a Catholic father I don't see the problem with the names, especially if you like them.
On the other hand to me, Miriam and Jonas (Jonah more so) have a Jewish vibe.
I love Nathaniel!

A mixture.
Most likely in the Catholic church with a few small differences - no infant baptism, no communion taken as a child. When they are confirmed (I would much prefer baptized, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it), they can do both.
My heritage is incredibly important to me, and that includes being Baptist. They can be raised in the Catholic church, but I will teach them to think with the mind of a Baptist.
