Ok, so we've chosen what will (maybe?) be the final names. We're set on first names, but haven't settled on the MNs. What do you think of our choices?
Elsa Beatrice (my choice)
Elsa Lavender (DH's choice)
Elsa Valentine (mutual choice)
Rhett Matthew (my choice)
Rhett Jude (DH's choice)
ETA: Rhett Lewis? I haven't run this one by DH yet, but I'm fairly confident he'll like it.
Re: Finalish Names
It's a toss-up between Elsa Beatrice and Elsa Valentine. Generally speaking, I like Lavender, but it's clunky-sounding with Elsa. I think I'm leaning more towards Elsa Valentine.
I like Jude more than Matthew, but the flow is off for me. I'd choose Rhett Matthew.
Quote fail. Meant to quote Elsa Beatrice and Rhett Matthew

You know how I feel about Valentine.
I like the MN choices for Rhett, but I think Matthew is better.
This! I also like Elsa Valentine...
We're going to be team green. Which makes naming even more difficult!
this!!

Elsa Valentine (mutual choice) Rhett Matthew (my choice)
These..Rhett Jude sounds to hard if you know what i mean
This exactly.
I'm not a huge fan of Elsa, but I do know a 5-ish year old named that, and she wears it well. I think I like Elsa Beatrice the best.
Of the boys, I think Rhett Matthew flows best.
Rhett Matthew flows a lot better than Rhett Jude.
I like Elsa Beatrice and Elsa Lavender equally well but if you need to tell your husband that The Bump prefers Beatrice I'll happily comply.

Beautiful names!
I like Elsa Beatrice and Rhett Matthew.
I'm not a fan of Lavender, Valentine, Jude or Lewis.

Yay! I've been waiting for you to post final name choices.
I LOVE both Elsa and Rhett. Lavender is such a darling name, but I think Elsa Beatrice both looks and sounds better together. And I'm going with your edit - Rhett Lewis. Jude is too harsh, and I don't like the way the two Ts look with Matthew as the middle name (I'm more of a visual person when it comes to names).
I love your name choices! Almost all of the names are on my list as well.
I really like Elsa Lavender, although the other combinations are pretty as well. Valentine makes me think of Ender's Game, which is one of my and DH's favourite books.
I think that Rhett Matthew flows much better than Rhett Jude, and I don't like Rhett Lewis.

dude, that's one of the reasons I love Valentine so much! I am SO psyched that someone referenced it.
Those are my faves!
Great names! I knew you'd pick something awesome.
I like all of the Elsa middle names, perhaps with a slight edge on Lavender (I also loved Marigold when you mentioned it a while back, and think it sounds great as a mn too).
I like Jude much better than Matthew, but agree with others on the flow. Rhett Matthew!
