This gave me a headache... My two are somewhat named after my husband, so one boy and one girl would be named somewhat after me.
Leah and Jax, we'll say. That leaves 6 that would also have our names incorporated somehow...Radley, Evelyn, Jocelyn, Avonlea, Conall (personal family meaning), Gilliland, Dafydd
Each would also have a name from a Bible verse, so I'll use
Lamb, Lily, Hope, Hosanna, Anchor, Ransom, Prosper, Gilead
Everyone would have another family member's name hinted at in some way. Jax (Jessica + Max), Lamb (for Rachel) and Leah Lamb (for Leland) have already been listed. Eirabeth (Bethany), Elessar (Elsie), or have a family member choose a name that is significant/meaningful to them(indicated by 1, 2, 3)
They'd also have a literary name of some kind (possibly obscure, but from books/stories/plays that are favorites of dh or me...the aforementioned Radley, Evelyn, Avonlea, Lamb, Gilead, Elessar. Adding Persephone, Malcolm
Eirabeth Leah Lamb
"Lily" Lileas Evelyn 1
Persephone Jocelyn Hope
2 Avonlea Hosanna Gilead 3 Jax
Radley Anchor Elessar
Malcolm Prosper Gilliland
Conall Ransom DafyddNot perfect, but as good as i can do right now.

Some names are honouring. Most are just names I love. George is the only first name which is honouring because I find it weird to give a child the same first name as someone they will know, not to mention how confusing it could be! George is different because it's a family name but everyone else has it as a middle. It would honour my brother, cousin, grandfather and great grandfather.Eve Hermione
Isla Josephine
Alice Teresa
Esme Juliet
Arthur Nathaniel
George Oscar
Charles Peter "Charlie"
Frederick James "Freddy"Josephine, Teresa, George, Nathaniel, Peter and James are honouring.All girls
