[Opinions] Julian, Georgina, Elton and Rowena
I've been talking more names with my boyfriend Samuel lately and we've come up with an unofficial sibset.He likes:
Julian "Jules"
Georgina "George"
Elton
Rowena "Rowie"What do you think of them as siblings? Do any of them stick out to you? I think Elton stands out a bit, so suggestions to replace that would be nice. Preferably names that are a bit less common but not too weird. I possibly think Julian may be a little too poplar for my tastes. So any suggestions would be great! :)EDIT: Also Sammy likes Ambrose so would Ambrose fit better to replace Elton?

Are you pronouncing the ending of Rowena the same as Georgina? If so, I think that Rowena and Georgina are too rhymey. If you're pronouncing Rowena roh-WEN-a, I think that Julian, Georgina, and Rowena sound nice together. Elton sticks out a bit plus I automatically think of Elton John. I definitely think that Ambrose fits in better than Elton. I also really like Alden, which has a similar feel to Elton, but I think it sounds nicer and works better with Julian, Georgina, and Rowena.

Elton if any sticks out, but I don't think Ambrose is a good replacement.I suggest
Julius (instead of Julian)
Georgina
Elliot
Rowena

Julian -- Gorgeous. Nice to see Jules on a boy. Thumbs up.Georgina -- Love it. Absolutely love it. Nn George? How about Georgie?Elton -- Ick, sorry. Alban, Aldous, Ainslie, Alva, Avery, Adlai, Anatole (nn Tolly?), Anselm / Ansel, Albion, Aubrey / Alberic, Esmond, Everard, Eustace, Eamonn, Emil, Emrys / Ambrose, Emeric, Ives / Ivo, Idris, Oswald, Oswin, Oberon / Auberon, Orson, Owen?
Rowena -- Love it. I can never decide if I like Rowena or Edwina better. How about nn Ena?

Thanks for the feed back.Reason for nn of George is I think if the nn was Georgie everyone would assume her name was Georgia which is sooo massively popular here! Plus I started to love the name after reading Enid Blyton famous five books as a child and she was always called George.Out of your suggestions I liked: Ainslie (Ainsley) Aubrey, Eamon (anohter we were considering), Emil (also considering this), Emrys, Ambrose, Auberon and Owen.Ena is interesting.Thanks :)

Julian - not really a fan, but a decent underused name
Georgina - pretty and refreshing, though I prefer Georgia
Elton - a handsome underused name
Rowena - not my style at all

I prefer Georgia to Georgina.
Rowena is nice to see.
Julian is ok, but I dislike Elton (I immediately think of Elton John). How about Emeric?

I prefer Georgina as its less common (Georgia is super common here) and I like Georgina and Julian from Enid Blyton books.
Emeric I suggested but he thinks its too weird.
