Name 8 children using Shakespearean names?

You can choose the genders and the order of the children. Here is a list of some of my favorite names from Shakespeare works but if you think of others you can use them.

♀ GIRLS: Viola, Ophelia, Celia, Miranda, Portia, Cressida, Nerissa, Constance, Perdita, Gertrude, Regan, Cordelia, Helena, Eleanor, Juno, Constance, Helena, Katharine, Lavinia, Hermione, Octavia, Ursula, Imogen, Audrey, Paulina, Olivia, Adriana, Rosalind, Silvia, Emilia, Luciana, Beatrice, Cassandra, Marina, Desdemona, Bianca, Maria, Katharine, Margaret, Iris, Diana, Juliet, Cleopatra, Paulina, Lucetta, Robyn, Katharina

♂ BOYS: Caliban, Oberon, Duncan, Ajax, Lucius, Orlando, Adrian, Cato, Flavius, Balthazar, Clifford, Cornelius, Oswald, Antonio, Dion, Corin, Philo, Griffith, Varro, Cassius, Demetrius, Cleon, Alonso, Lennox, Sebastian, Owen, Tybalt, Angus, Francisco, Lorenzo, Titus, Aaron, Claudio, Camillo, Dumaine, Lucius, Fabian, Thomas, Mercutio, Hugh, Flavius, Quintus, Valentine, Peto, Ariel, Edgar, Oliver, Romeo, Timon, Nathaniel, Leonardo

Would most of the names you like from these lists be considered guilty pleasure names for you? Or would you actually consider using most or some of them?

    Shakespeare used some truly fantastic names, including some of my favourite names, so I would have:

    ♣ Cassio Frederick

    ♣ Francisco Cymbeline

    ♣ Imogen Ophelia

    ♣ Audrey Helena

    ♣ Malvolio Sebastian

    ♣ Cordelia Hero

    ♣ Fenton Curio

    ♣ Osric Angelo

    Cass, Franco, Imogen, Audrey, Mal, Cordie, Fen & Oz

    A lot are GPs for me but there are still quite a few I would consider usable. The names I've chosen probably tend more toward unusable, but I would be far more likely to use the girls names I've chosen than the boys. I adore all of these though, so I would never entirely discount them.
