Ha ha ha, I knew the Emmett Edward would get Twilight referenced. It was on our list before Twilight existed, but after reading the books myself (& admittedly, getting hooked) I knew this would be tough to pull off.
Thanks for all the thoughts! All the mn's are interchangeable, these are just all names we like & I wanted to use them all without being too repetitive.
I like Emmett (liked it before Twilight!! It's a family name) and Elliot. And I really like Maeve. I'd never be able to convince DH and we're having a boy, but otherwise I'd try to use it.
Emmett Edward - This doesn't flow well for me - Of the two, my favorite is Emmett. Maybe Emmett Franklin or Emmett James?
Elliott Arthur - Elliott is NMS, LOVE Arthur.
Asher Franklin - Nice.
Oscar James - I think Oscar is ready for a comeback. I like this a lot.
Reid Pascal - Nice.
Clyde Robert - I have to admit that Clyde makes me think of horses or large dogs. Sorry!
Girls:
Emerson Jo - NMS - boys name.
Harper Jo - It's OK - I love Harper for the reference to Harper Lee, but I feel like it's turning into a pop-culture name. Maybe because it's similar to Harlow? FWIW - Harper Lee's first name is actually Nelle, which I think is adorable.
Eliot Jo - NMS - boys name.
Emerson Juliet - NMS - boys name
Maeve Eliza - This is very nice. I like Maeve a lot.
Maeve Marian - This sounds too much like "Maid Marian" to me.
Re: If you're bored...opinions on phantom baby names
