  I like Coraline. Adolf is forever ruined in my eyes, and Wolfgang is just not a name I could get on board with. I like Ezra.. Amos is also nice. Best of luck!

  Could y'all compromise? Sounds like he is picking middle name type names and you are picking first name type names! Who came up with your son and daughter's names? What's their middle names? By the way.... I love Amos and Ezra!

  Was her given name Coraline? Just curious. I thought that name was a newer one. I think Cora is so much more sophisticated and pairs so nicely with Elisabeth. Obviously if Coraline was her given name, I understand why you'd want to use it!
  
  For boys, you may have to compromise and each one of you pick a name. Wolfgang is not for everyone but it would be fine in the mn spot. I would strongly suggest staying away from Adolph. I'm sure there are lots of lovely men named Adolph but it's tightly associated with Hitler. Have you considered Rudolph nn Rudy? This was my DHs grandfather's name and he is desperately trying to convince me to use it. I'm a little scared of it, but it may fit well for yall.
  Also suggesting these names...I tried to go a bit Germanic bc of your husband's faves:
  Ansel
  Sebastian
  Hugo
  Tobias
  Alec
  Leon
  Lucas
  Maximilian
  Jonas
  Anton
  Emmanuel
  Dominic
  Henrik
  Matthias

  I love Archer! Wilder caught my eye, too DD is Elisabeth Lorraine (Lorraine for my great aunt) and DS is Fox Orion (Orion for my great uncle). We both agreed on the first names as soon as they came up, but it took a little searching (especially for Fox). I got to pick the middle names and we'll pick family names for middle names in the future (except for Coraline, since that's already a family name).

  Love Coraline and Ezra. Amos is nice too. Adolf is just too controversial. It will have a negative connotation for so many people. Not a big fan of Wolfgang either.

  I like Coraline. I've never heard it before. Do you think people will confuse it with Caroline? I hope not.
  
  Agree that Adolph / Adolf won't be a usable name in my lifetime, maybe ever.

  Oh we're definitely not doing Adolf, lol. He loves it but...he gets it
  
  Coraline would go by Cora, we just like the flow of the former better with our last name.
  
  I like Hugo quite a bit. DH likes Maximilian but, like Wolfgang, there's no way I'd go for it.
  
  I like the idea of literary names for boys, if that helps?

  I like Hugo! To me, it seems to combine both of your styles.

  
  

  Maybe:

  
  

  Arlo

  Armon

  Curtis

  Ephraim

  Gerhard

  Gideon

  Jonah

  Josef (German spelling 'cause he seems into that?)

  Malachai

  Marcus

  Mattias

  Maxwell

  Samson

  Saul

  Simon

  Stefan

  Victor

  Um, I actually love the name Wolfgang (nn Wolfie) but because your other son's name is Fox it wouldn't be a good fit... IMO, two siblings named Fox and Wolfie is eye roll worthy.
  
  Adolf/Adolph is definitely not a great choice... sorry, it's hard not to associate with Hitler. Are you sure your husband isn't pulling your leg?
  
  Love Coraline!
  
  Love Ezra!
  
  Love previously suggested; Maxwell, Gideon, Tobias, Sebastian, Alec, Simon, and Hugo.

  That's what I was going to say. I love Wolfgang...but definitely not with Fox.

  
  

  Coraline is beautiful and goes well with your sibset. Of your list, I like Ezra the best for a boy. PPs have some good suggestions, too!

  Well fist off I LOVE that you used Fox! So great! 

  
  

  I think Coralilne is awesome and goes great and it a bit more classical like Elisabeth. Where as Fox is a bit edgier so maybe stay with that style for another boy. Hugo is awesome and goes really great with both.
