Xavier Edwin - Unexpected pairing. I'm a fan.Alice
Ava Elizabeth - Rather expected, but still pretty.

Arielle - I prefer Stella and Arielle on their own. Stella Arielle has too many "el" sounds.
Ruby
Audrey
Pauline - I'd like Zoey Pauline if it were Zoe Pauline.Dakota Pepper and Hunter Rock are pretty bad, especially because of the middle names. The first names are trendy, but not horrific or anything. Pepper and Rock sound too much like nicknames. I find it hard to take them seriously.

So, "Li'l Aussie Prems" is an Australian baby birth site? OK, some comments:Bennjamin Thomas, brother to Blair, Aleeya and Lillyanna - horrible spelling of Benjamin! I don't like Blair and I prefer the spellings Aliyah and Liliana.Braxton Phoenix - too much XDiesel James, brother to Indigo - Diesel is starting to get popular here in Sweden too. I think it's horrible. What's next, Gas? Indigo is cute for a girl.Sebastian Charles - nice!Seth James - I like Seth, but two one-syllable names together sound bad.Bella Grace, sister to Tarni-Anne and Kalinda - surprising that she got a pretty nice names and her sisters did not!Dabianca Belle - Dabianca!? EwwOlivia Clara Pearl - sweetJemimah Abigail and Naomi Esther - niceRuby May Isabel and Sophie May Elsie, sisters to Isaac, Malachi, Seth, Canaan, Jada and Bethany - jeez, eight kids!?Dakota Pepper and Hunter Rock (girl/boy) - oww, my eyes

Bennjamin Thomas, brother to Blair, Aleeya and Lillyanna (Bennjamin is not a typo) Too bad it isn't a typo; What's so terrible about Benjamin? I guess they were trying desperately to be "unique" and thought that would do the trick.
Diesel James, brother to Indigo Our cat is named Diesel. It seems ridiculous on a person.
Harley Robert: I'm just waiting for some dumbo to have twins named Harley and Diesel.
Harry Romulus: Sounds like a comic book hero.
Jacques John: Pretty terrible flow.
Rhyder Scott: Proving that there are indeed worse names than Ryder.
Bella Grace, sister to Tarni-Anne and Kalinda Bella Grace is the odd one out here. At least hers is an actual name, unlike Tarni. What the hell kind of name is Tarni?
Charlie Rae: Sounds like an old hillbilly man.
Chloe Rose: Clo Ro row your boat...
Dabianca Belle: Da Bianca Belle is the da biggest boat on da river.
Ebony Rose: Stripper name if ever I heard it. In the US, Ebony was in fashion for a while in the seventies and eighties, but only among black families. I understand in Australia and UK it's most popular on white girls.
Harper Willow This is as good an example of a hipster name as any.
Leah Jade, sister to Kristie, Chloe and Kane: So why the sudden departure from k/c sounds?
Pippa Hazel, sister to Tayla, Jordan, Darcy and Noah I can't see the slightest thing attractive about the name Pippa. It sounds like an ugly doll you can get in a Happy Meal. Also sounds like hiccups.
Sophie Grace The Ambien of name combos. Yawn.
Summer Jade, sister to Ruby The Bling Bling sisters.
Ruby May Isabel and Sophie May Elsie, sisters to Isaac, Malachi, Seth, Canaan, Jada and Bethany Yuck on so many levels. There's too damn many kids anyway.
Dakota Pepper and Hunter Rock (girl/boy) Somebody having fantasies of the American Golden West here?

About Tarni...Though I'm not Australian, my guess is that Tarni reflects the Aussie pronunciation of Tawny (much like the Brits also use Tahnee as a variant).

Nope...Tarni and Tawny are completely different sounds.Tarni and associated names such as Tahnee may come from an Aboriginal name, or they may just be an Aussie coinage with no clear origin. Similar names like Tiana are also more popular there so perhaps it's just euphonics.

Are you sure that the Brits use Tahnee at all, and especially as a variant of Tawny? This seems unlikely on every level, especially the very different pronunciations of Atw and Tah in UKE, the association with tawny owls, the prevalence of Tawny as a dog name ... and without a high-profile soap opera character named Tahnee to kickstart a trend, I find it impossible to believe.Though a bunch of good facts could change my mind!If I had to guess, I'd imagine there could be a link between Tarni and the dated Taryn.

Yeah, I've never heard anyone in Britain called Tahnee (or Tawny or Tarni for that matter) and Tahnee and Tawny are completely different sounds here and in Australia. Edited to remove my example of pronunciaton as it would probably cause more confusion!

I think 8 kids is fine. It's their choice not yours. I love Ruby May Isabel, it's lovely. :)
