I like the combinations of Augustus William, Anastasia Juliet, and Méabh Catherine Mary. As for individual names, I love William (my name! 🙂), Catherine, Daniel, Elise, Mary, Sarah, James, Méabh, Celestina, Kerenza, Iselin, John, and Augustus.
Delighted by Innes and Ishbel! "Oluwatobiloba is a boy's name of Yoruba origin meaning 'God is a great king'", acccording to Google; it seems to be used mostly by men, who also seem to go by Tobi. Ruaraidh Daniel is an astonishing way to achieve a son called Rory! I think my favourite, though I wouldn't use it myself, has got to be Milo Columbus John - all so different, and yet they work so well together.
Anastasia Juliet is lovely, OMG. Augustus William is so handsome too. I also really enjoy Calypso, Iselin, Bruno Amedeo, Emma Kerenza, and Sarah Celestina.Great variety of names here! These are so much better than American names.
