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!

Love Alban, Seth, Elodie and Esther. Not as keen on the others.

GinUtero · 31/01/2014 21:01

Alban is my grandfather's name. I'm more keen on Esther than DH is!

From your list:

Isaac Marlow and Esther Viola.

I'll add: Benedict and Persephone.

Ariana Willow or Raven Eve.

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

Adore Martha from your list. With Elodie as the second choice for me.

Seth, Reuben, Elijah and Jude are my faves from your boy lists.

Seth and Martha

Elijah and Martha

Jude and Elodie

Reuben and Martha?

Sundaedelight · 01/02/2014 16:08

Jude and Augusta

Onesleeptillwembley · 01/02/2014 16:51

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

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

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/02/2014 17:20

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

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.

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!

GreenSpaghetti · 02/02/2014 01:32

Great taste in names OP.

Jude Alexander and Martha Eve be my pick.

sandberry · 02/02/2014 17:50

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.

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

newyearhere · 02/02/2014 20:04

Jude Alexander

Willow Eve
