I like Zoe and Philippa.  (Note I prefer Zoe sans y and the British spelling of Philippa.)

Seamus is a very classic name.  How do you pronounce Ruari?  (By the way, Behind the Name lists both the Irish and Scottish spellings as Ruairi.)

I like Phillipa and Seamus best. I love your middle name choices!

I must admit, Ruari looks interesting, but my California-raised self isn't sure how to pronounce it (not that that would matter where you live). Is it like Rory?

I like Zoe without the y, Philipa is getting very popular very quickly. I had a friend whose dog's name was Seamus so it is hard for me to like that one as a first name. What about Ruiari Seamus?

I really love Phillipa. 

Seamus is ok--it's not my favorite name in the world, but it's fine.

I don't like Zoey or Ruari. And Zoey with a "y" looks stupid.

The MNs are all great. I'd consider them as FNs.

I like all of them, but Ruari is probably the one that will be the toughest transition should you return to the states. Also, I just really love Seamus, so that's not helping Ruari's cause.

I actually like your girl middle names more than the first names, but I'd choose Zoey Virginia.

Me too.

I think Zoe/y is too cutesy and doesn't age well . . . the "y" is superfluous. However, I prefer it to Philippa. Seamus is great, and though I hadn't heard of Ruari (or the other spelling pp referenced), I could find myself liking it.
