Future possible combos:

---

1.) "Pippin" Peregrine Edgar Gray Cunningham - Just my favorite of the names
2.) Poe Hickory Elliott Cunningham - Second favorite
3.) Rowan Leonard Wolfe Cunningham - Third favorite... but edges higher up because of the sentimentality and bond the older children might have with the name
      ***See Bottom***
4.) "Finn" Griffin Reginald Sage Cunningham - Final favorite

---

1.) Robin Theodora Pearl Cunningham - Robin to honor Elisabeth and Theodora to honor Thelonius
2.) Saffran Eleanora Faye Cunningham - Second favorite
3.) Violet Laura Scout Cunningham - Third favorite
4.) Heather Edith Felicity Cunningham - Final favorite

Looking over previous family names, I decided to try and find some vintage/classic names for the second MN. I wanted them to be just quirky enough to work as a compromise for Thelonius' tastes combined with Elisabeth's style (as shown with the other names used), but also have a definite old-fashioned feel.

---

For the most part, all of the MNs have been consistently on the popularity charts for USA. There are two exceptions. The more elaborate Eleanora has fallen to disuse in favor of the less frilly Eleanor... However, I felt that with the short MN of Faye, the more elaborate Eleanora worked better in this instance. The other name that is more vintage then timeless is Theodora. However, it was chosen as a way to honor Thelonius, and the masculine form of Theodore has been consistently on the popularity charts for the USA.

I made bold anything I added or changed (switched out two MNs)... also putting the names in an order from least to favorite, just to give you an idea... It's a work in progress... we can either keep hashing it through or just wait and see what we'll need :)

If you really wanted to we could add a second MN to my brood of Wolfe and a second MN to your brood of Cunningham and that way everybody is connected (although long)... and then we could continue using Wolfe Cunningham throughout the rest of the new children.
