The top of my list (so far...)

Anything can change at any time, but at the moment, these are the ones right up there.

Mary-Elizabeth
Harriet Grace
Ramona Rose

Ezra Thomas
Israel Thomas
George Elliot

Nice names... Mary-Elizabeth could be a mouthful though, would you call her Mary-Beth or something for short?

Is George Elliot intentional (the author)?

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, it probably would be Mary-Beth for short, or Mary-Lizzie or something like that.

George Elliot isn't intentional. Just a name that I love!

I like Ramona, Ezra and Israel.

George Elliot was a woman's nom de plume and I think the teen years would be rough for a boy when some class wag realised that.

Mary-Lizzie sounds really strange to my ear. Mary-Elizabeth is nice though. Mary-Beth is nice too, but I associate it with older American women -- in their 40s and up. I can't imagine it for a baby or child.

I like Ramona Rose, Harriet Grace, Ezra Thomas and Israel Thomas a lot. Really nice names all.

Harriet Grace is lovely...
You would need to do Elliot George, or Ellis George methinks, not George Elliot.

oooh please call her Mary-Beth (am big Cagney & Lacey fan )

I also likeRamona Rose, and from your boys list I like Ezra Thomas the best

I agree George El(l)iot sounds a bit odd for a boy, especially if you didn't intend the literary connection. Actually I'm in two minds about it, as she was a fine author and worth commemmorating, and you couldn't really give it to a girl (though you could of course give Mary Anne) - but don't expect people not to pick up on it and assume it's intentional!

I probably wouldn't hyphenate Mary Elizabeth, both nice names though. I like Harriet Grace too.

You can't call a boy George Elliot! His life will be made hell at school, not by the other kids but by waggish teachers.

I know a Jane Austen (her surname, not an odd middle name) and god knows what her parents were thinking!

I rather like Ramona - reminds me of the Beverly Cleary books, which I loved, and also has punkish undertones... Not sure it goes with Rose though - Ramona Grace sounds lovely though.

Ezra is nice.
