Your five girl cousins totally delight me:
Emily Victoria, Beatrice Alexandra, Felicity Elizabeth, Annabelle Catherine & Verity Anne!Their parents coped so well when they ran out of polysyllabic queens for mns that I don't even mind the echo of Annabelle and Anne.

Frederica, Sorrel & PalomaWowza. So many great, great names. But I had to put in a special kudo for Frederica. Man, I love that name. It's so in-your-face feminized that I have to admire it. My aunt and great aunt Frederica's were called Freda as a nn. I'm not sold on Freddie for a girl. But if that's the only way Frederica comes, then I'm all for it. By the way, was it pronounced, "freh-DREE-cuh" (three syllables) or "fred-eh-REE-cuh" (four syllables)? Sorrell on a boy is neat.Oh, and Paloma. She keeps cropping up. I hope it's a sign that she's becoming more popular as a name.

Four syllables. But she was only called Freddy- I only know her full name because I asked Lottie!I don't know whether Sorrell was a boy or girl. Lottie goes to an all girl school, but James' is mixed.Yeah, seems I keep seeing Paloma too. It's definitely growing on me. Oh, and looks like I'm going to be babysitting Gabrielle, Paloma Athenais & Louise over the summer. Will try my hardest to find out Gabrielle & Louise's middle names.
