So here's what I've got my hormonal heart set on thus far,

Boys

#1 Seth Angus

Albert
Dexter
Gregor
Henry
Leonard
Rufus
Stanley

Girls

#1 Audrey, possible Mae or Blythe as a middle name.

Edie
Ingrid
Margot
Martha

We already have a son named Noah Winston and have yet to find out the sex of current bebe (although I intend on doing so).

Our surname begins with A, is 4 syllables, very Scottish and also a popular boys forename. I don't know if an alliterative forename sounds cool or ridiculous...but I did originally have Alasdair and Agnes on the lists and have discarded both as they don't seem to 'scan'. Audrey and Albert sound fine though (IMO).

All thoughts and opinions welcome...

Thanks for the feedback so far...nice to see that most of the names are getting the thumbs up at least.

Just to clarify...although I'm not usually one for nn's, Leonard would definitely be shortened to Lenny. Big fans of many Leonards/Lenny's inc. Cohen, Bruce and Rossiter. Not Lenny bloody Henry mind...the big daft get.

I love Audrey Blythe -- gorgeous.

For boys, I have to say the name Seth reminds me of snakes hissing. I would prefer Gregor, Albert or Henry.

I love Seth Angus. Great name.

I hate Albert,Dexter,Leonard and Stanley.Henry is ok,and I love Rufus.

I'm not very fond of your girls names. And certainly not Margot.
