Funny, quite nixed. I think it's actually Paisley that's the standout. Kyriakos is rather extreme, though. I think it's quite pretty. Might be an honoring name, but it's an interesting choice for a first name.Saoirse Basil? Must be a girl - that's funny.

It’s the one that sticks out for me too. All the other names are Irish/Scottish/English. It would seem that they would have used a name like Kieran or Kevin rather than one that sounds very Greek.

At first look I was like whooaaaaa. Very eclectic. But then I realized the religious significance of a bunch of their names - a mix of Irish Catholic and also Orthodox. The Catholic name blog Sancta nomina has talked about Kyriakos before, and Rosemarian seems super Catholic. Makes makes me interested in their faith background.

IMO Kyriakos Basil or Basil Kyriakos is better.

Saoirse Basil is interesting!

Agree. James Kyriakos would have fitted in much better.Rosemarian is a new one! I'm quite fond of Paisley, and Paisley Rosemary Anne would work better for me. Or Paisley Marian Rose.Saoirse Basil takes gender-bending to new heights. Keeps the Greek theme going, but why not use Vasiliki?

Well I don't think the Basil being greek bit was purposeful. She said that they had conditions for names and that the boys middle names were saints and the girls had to botanical

I love seeing Kyriakos. The female version Kyriaki is so pretty.Rosemarian is intriguing.I like Saoirse Basil. I never think of Basil on a girl, but it works as a nature name.Don't care for Paisley, Colm, or James. Andrew is one of my least favorite names.
