It's taken me ages, but finally I think I have picked out my shortlist for both girl and boy names.
These are names that I like the look/sound of, and they fit well with my surname, also my Husband likes these names too.
(We absolutely have a different taste in names, so it's taken a lot of discussion to find some we agree on).

Buuut I'm having difficulty deciding on first name/middle name combos from my list. My surname is double barrelled, both names beginning in R.
If anyone could help me out, it'd be so appreciated.

Girls:
Meredith
Bethany
Olive
Alice
Blythe
Ivy

Boys:
Raphael
Bryan
Noah
Zachary
Frederick
James

Thank you!

I love Blythe.

Bryan is my ddad's name and was also my great uncle's (he was killed in ww2) so it holds a special meaning for me. So much so that ds1's middle name is Bryan! I think it's a great name!

Meredith Olive or Blythe Alice.

A lot of similar sounds in your list so a bit difficult to pair some of them up. I thought these two combinations flow nicely (and Meredith and Blythe are the nicest names).

Raphael and Frederick are fantastic names. Could be combined either way round.

Raphael is gorgeous but I'd use it as a middle name because of your surname. Noah Raphael R-R?

I like Alice Ivy best from your list.
