So far, we've come up with:

Boy: Alban, Alexander, Elijah, Isaac, Jacob, Jude, Marlow, Seth, Reuben, Theo

Girl: Ariana, Augusta, Cyan, Elodie, Esther, Evie, Eve, Kaitlyn, Martha, Raven, Viola, Willow

Hoping to find a first name & middle name out of these, but open to other suggestions.

Surname begins with a C and ends with an N.

Honest opinions, please!

Reuben and Elodie! Lovely.

Oriunda · 02/02/2014 21:37

Cyanotic .....cyanide. Not a great name.

Think Jude Alexander would be fab.
Like Viola Elodie or Elodie Viola but second suggestion of Persephone ... Persephone Eve has a nice ring.

Britishseamonkey · 02/02/2014 21:29

From te name above I'd go
Seth Alexander
Or
Alexander Jude

And
Viola Eve

Martha is nice too

Britishseamonkey · 02/02/2014 21:27

Really don't like kaitlyn like that - it looks made up , sorry

Alexander and Elodie

newyearhere · 02/02/2014 20:04

Jude Alexander

Willow Eve

MadameJosephine · 02/02/2014 18:51

Elijah and Esther are my favourites from your list. I like Elijah Jude but not keen on any of your other girls names as a MN for Esther. Esther Jane is lovely but then they will share all their initials which may be a problem

Out of those choices I would opt for Elijah Jude (I like Eli and unlike Jacob, Reuben and Isaac it fits the biblical trend without being super popular) and Ariana Eve although the pronunciation of Ariana could be an issue.

GreenSpaghetti · 02/02/2014 01:32

Great taste in names OP.

Jude Alexander and Martha Eve be my pick.

Passthesaltdear · 01/02/2014 20:30

Martha and Isaac...I'm biased because I have an Isaac and Martha is a beautiful, beautiful name...Classic, classy and simple!

MarvellousMechanicalMouseOrgan · 01/02/2014 17:25

Just a thought, is Alban pronounced All-bun or Al-bun (like the first syllable of Alan)? I like it either way!

Cyan is an ink colour, just thought I'd mention it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/02/2014 17:20

Best combo - Jude and Martha
Worst combo - Seth and Augusta or Seth and Raven

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/02/2014 17:19

Boy: Alban - horrible
Alexander - ok
Elijah - nice
Isaac - nice
Jacob- nice
Jude - nice
Marlow - even worse than Alban
Seth - even worse than Marlow
Reuben - ok
Theo - nice but dull

Like Arina
Hate Augusta, as I think it's ugly and unfeminine
Cyan - no
Eldie - no
Esther - nice
Evie - no but like Eve
Kaitlyn - don't like this spelling
Martha - lovely
Raven - sounds like either a porn star or a M&B 'writer'
Viola - no
Willow - no

Alban, Marlow, Cyan and Raven are awful. Sorry but you said he honest.

CouthyMow · 01/02/2014 00:23

Ariana Willow or Raven Eve.

Alban Alexander or Reuben Alexander slightly biased as DS3 is a Reuben.
