AHHH!!!! I need some help :)?

I really love this sibling set, because it seems like all the names are very long, even though i would use nicknames. On holiday cards and things, the names would go on forever. What do you think i should do?

My names: (First and Middle)

Adelaide Philippine

Evangeline Isobel

Florence Elodie

Victoria Charlotte

Matthew Sebastian

Heidi, Annie, Flora, Tori, and Matthew

Do you think it is okay, to list Adelaide, Evangeline, Florence, Victoria, and Matthew?

Also, do you like the name Adelaide?

What order do you like the girls names in?

Update:

I would use both the nicknames and the normal names.

Heidi is a nickname for Adelaide, because they both come from the name Adelheid.

All the middle names are french, and I an not willing to switch them.

    Adelaide Philippine - I like both names. They are very long.

    Evangeline Isobel - The story of Evangeline is so tragic that I cannot enjoy the name. Isabeau and Izetta are the two French variants of Isabel that I know. Nice, but long.

    Elodie is another of my favorite names. Florence is a nice enough name. I wish that it did not invoke image of Florence Henderson for me. It's a little long.

    Victoria is a lovely name. Charlotte is a nice name; it will forever remind me of Charlotte's Web.

    We have a relative named Sebastian Matthew! How could I say anything against Bastie's name? Your boy's name is perfect!

    I can certainly appreciate your desire to keep the middle names French. If you are not concerned about how long your children's names are, I shan't be either! Buy really big Christmas photo cards and have the names imprinted so they will all fit!

    Good luck, and God bless!

    P.S. I feel a bit guilty by not helping you make your baby names more manageable. At the same time, I don’t like using scissors on your favorite names. Here’s what I came up with:

    Adelaide Philippine - - - Addy Philippine

    Evangeline Isabel - - - Eve Isabeau

    Florence Elodie - - - Fleur Elodie

    Victoria Charlotte - - - Ivy Charlotte

    Sebastian Matthew - - - Bastian Matthew

    Addy, Eve, Fleur, Ivy, & Bastian

    I think if you are going to call them Heidi, Annie, Flora, Tori and Matthew then you should name them THOSE names. Personally I think Heidi and Annie are far stretches from Adelaide and Evangeline... maybe Addie or Ada and Eva or Evie. I also think that Elodie Florence flows nicer.

    How about this:

    Adelaide (Addy) Marie

    Eva Lynn

    Florence (Flora) Isobel

    Tory Elizabeth

    Matthew (Matt) Austin
