I like your taste. Have you considered Henry Samuel? I also like Ian Heathcliff (more balanced). The girls' names are especially lovely.
vote up1
I have considered Henry Samuel but am not sure how I feel about it at this point. :)
Ian Heathcliff is more balanced, you are correct, however I can't wrap my head around the name Heathcliff. It just sounds like two names meshed imo and I really just don't like the namesake.

Mm, I'm liking my boys names lately, so this'll be fun.Boys:
Ashley Jacob Evander
Edward Morgan Christophe
Lucian Isidore Kelly or Lucian Isidore Josiah
Mordecai Zia Storm "Cai"
Ari Haven Nekoda
Hollis Zayn Micaiah Girls:
Helena Esme Seraphina
Avril Sofia Grace - actually, assuming I'd have no more children after this, I'd have more fun, though I do love Sofia Grace. Avril Parisa Persephone, I think. :]Ashley, Edward, Luc (sometimes), Cai, Ari, Hollis, Helena, and Avril.

Breastfeed them all? What?! I really don't see how that is even going to be possible. I don't know how much milk one could be capable of producing, but it doesn't seem like it could ever be enough to feed eight babies. Does she realize that babies eat every two hours? And more during growth spurts? You'd never do anything else but be feeding babies. It seems that way with only one baby!Anyway... if it were just me naming babies, I think I'd go with the theme thing for lack of better combos to use:Charles Llewellyn "Charlie", as usual
William Idris "Will"
John Emrys "Jack"
Thomas Emlyn "Tom"
George Meirion "Geordie"
Henry Morgan "Harry", so he's not left out of the nicknamesMary Olwen "Molly"
Eleanor Mererid "Nora"
