Pretentious and seem way more posh than Corbin. Bellamy also sounds feminine.

Fletcher is awful. Bellamy is snobby and Montague is only Romeo. They sound awfully rich, all of them.

Bellamy and Montague go nicely together, but that pair doesn't go with Corbin at all imo.
I like Bellamy a lot more than Montague, but that's a personal preference thing, I guess. I really like that Bellamy would get called "Bell." That's really cool.
Again, Arthur and Louis go together and I guess James and Charles are fine together, but the entirely of Corbin David Fletcher doesn't fit with the twins' names.Fletcher being a surname-as-a-given-name needs the siblings to have surnames in that place as well if they're going to "fit" even if they're very "first name" kinds of surnames like Spencer, Harper, Hudson, Lincoln, Lawson, Avery, Kennedy Harlow, Marlow, Ripley, Lennox, Lennon, Arden, Cooper, Morgan, Marley, Carter, Sullivan, Brooks, Findlay, Windsor, Delaney, Dawson, Sutton, Beckett, Banner, Merritt, Collins, Greyson, Jensen, Rigby, Harbin, Wilder, Pendleton,

I like the twins' names well enough. I think they "match". However, Corbin David Fletcher seems the odd one out. His names don't quite "fit" with the style of the twins. The twins have a more off-beat classic first name and classic middle names. But Corbin seems more modern/dated trendy, Fletcher too plain surnamey and David too Biblical.I am aware that Bellamy, Montague & Corbin are also surnames, but Fletcher is English whereas the others are of French origin. Perhaps that is why it clashes to me. Instead of David, I'd go with something like William, Henry, George etc. I don't know what to do with Corbin... I wouldn't give him a second surname name at least. Avery William George? Delano Henry George? Ingram Henry George? Orson Henry George? Percival? Sinclair?

ditto ...They randomly capitalize common nouns, live in a Nursery, have a Nurse, go to the Park, and never see their parents.

Corbin is good, but not really my style. I kinda like Corvin more. Still wouldn't use.
Bellamy is ...nmsaa. I guess a guy called "Bell" seems neat. Not so much if he's called "Bellamy." It seems self-conscious because it is rare, trendy-style, a surname, and evokes certain characters. So, seems to want to seem remarkable and trendsetting and "cool." Bleh. At least it's not ugly or hard to say.
Montague is the kind of name I'd have liked when I was about 21. "Monty" has a dashing, humorous, black-sheep, retro/antique image. I wouldn't name a kid Montague today because I'd feel revealed as shallow by it - it's just so obvious to me, the imagey-ness, Romeo & Juliet, British nobility, Monty Python, it's kind of deliberately droll. I don't think that people *shouldn't* name kids that way, though, if they're feeling it. It's a decent name, and appealing enough, and he might really enjoy being named it.
Together they come off like someone made a real effort to pick imagey names to sound spiffy, spirited, and important. It's cute, but not my style.

As a sibset, stylewise, it works well, though it's nms.Bellamy always strikes me as strange, like I almost can't believe it's a name. I think it must be because of word associations - belly and bigamy.Montague seems dark and mysterious in a preppy romantic way. It's like Montgomery but less happy-go-lucky sounding.Corbin makes me think the movie Fifth Element, so I associate it with the 90s and Dallas.I like Montague as a GP and Arthur, Louis, David seem pretty nice, but I don't particularly like any of the other names.

Bellamy Arthur James is handsome, though I don't care for Bellamy. Montague, on the other hand, I find deliciously poncey. Such a fun name!

The middle names are perfectly normal, but Bellamy & Montague seem like the surnames of titled English families going back to the Norman Conquest, or something. I don't think they match Corbin, either, which is old fashioned but still a regular first name.

I feel like I've seen this set somewhere before. It's so familiar to me. Bellamy, Montague and Corbin. Maybe it just seems familiar because the names all have the same "feeling".Bellamy is a GP of mine. I just love the meaning, it's so sweet. But it's a GP because it does have a touch of the insufferable about it. I like all three names ok but together they are a bit much.
