Do you like this sib-set?

Ok im not pregnant. I just love messing with names :)

Frederik Matthew (nick names Fred, Derik, Rik) B

Jordynn Marie G

Liam Jackson B

Arianna Quinn G

Update:

I thought after reading Bane's answer i would clarify why i picked these names and spellings :)

Frederik Matthew - Frederik because it is a Danish name and spelling. My family is from Denmark so i want to embrace my heritage. Matthew because it is a very classic name and i have always adored it.

Jordynn Marie - I chose this different spelling of Jordan because who wants to have a normal spelling and nobody will accidentally call her a boy when they see this spelling. I know how it feels to be accidentally called a boy by a teacher....not fun. And her middle name Marie because that is my best friend since birth's middle name and i love her to death!

Liam Jackson - I just recently found the name Liam and i love it. I am just a hint Irish-Scottish so i thought i would embraces it too. Jackson because that is my late grandfathers name, and he was such a great man he needs to be remembered.

Arianna Quinn - First and for most I did not get this name from Harry Potter (Love the se

    I am not normally a fan of Frederik because it reminds me of an old man but Freddy is a cute nickname and he will grow into Frederik so it is nice and if it has meaning to you being Danish then go for it. Matthew is indeed classic I know some very nice Matthew's :)

    Jordynn Marie - Thats super sweet about naming her your best friends middle name! Jordynn is cool and the spelling is great.

    Liam Jackson - Liam is one of my top 5 names i LOVE it. I have been thinking of Liam Harrison which is very close to Liam Jackson and I really like it well done :)

    Arianna Quin - Its very nice I like Arianna very much and Quin goes nicely with it.

    Beautiful choices :) xo

    I love Frederik Matthew since it's a more unusual, but still legitimate spelling of Frederick. It's classy and stylish and it goes beyond your average, boring boy names like Tim Riley or Jacob William. On the whole, it's great!

    I hate Jordynn Marie or, more specifically, Jordynn. Jordan is the one and ONLY spelling, and everyone knows that it is a PROPER unisex name. You don't need to misspell it because it doesn't look any more feminine, but it does look illiterate. Trust me, no one will consider hiring a Jordynn Marie when they could hire a Jordan Marie - a far more professional, intelligent looking name.

    Liam Jackson... I love Liam but Jackson doesn't seem to click properly. I believe that's it's the origins. When I think of Jackson I think 'American' - a kind of upbeat, trendy place. But when I think of Liam I think of the soft gentility of Ireland and Scotland. Liam Finely - perhaps?

    Arianna Quinn - I downright hate this name. Arianna was practically extinct until Harry Potter mentioned it in passing. Now, it's everywhere, which means that (once the Harry Potter buzz dies down), it'll lose popularity. Thereby making it a dated name like Dolly or Barbra. And Quinn... Quinn is a boy's name. People can rant and rave over the fact that a few baby name websites acknowledge it as unisex, but the fact remains that it's not.

    A TRUE unisex name, like Jordan or Ashley, either starts out being used by either sex or falls out of use with boys before being picked up by girls - hence the names Evelyn and Meredith; originally boy names. But Quinn doesn't fit that mold. Quinn is an ancient name that has been popular with boys since before the Victorian era. But, like practically every other boy name in Europe at this point, ignorant parents are slapping it, along with Elliot, Noah, Charlie, Jamie, Ezra, Remi, Finley and thousands of others, on their daughters. Because they don't care for the name's history, character, depth or meaning. They simply think a boy's name on a girl would be nice. I personally think that Elizabeth would look nice on a boy, but that doesn't give me any right to go ahead and use it

    It wouldn't bother me as much if the opposite could be carried out. If girls can be named Thomas, William, Henry and Edward then why not Katherine, Elizabeth, Victoria and Jane for boys? It's not a nice thought, but it would make sense. After all, allowing girls to STEAL boy names but disallowing boys to have a few girl names is, ultimately, sexist.

    So, there you have it. That's my honest opinion. I hope I helped, if only marginally.
