Hi! Nice to see another homeschooling mom here at NB.
Cordelia- I like this name alot. It fits well with all of your girl names to me. It might be a little similar to Arabella and India though.
Eleanor - one of my favorites. I love it in your sibling set
Olive- It has a vintage quality that works well with your other names, but it feels a bit off in your sib-set to me
Juliet- I think it could fit in- none of your names are super-matchy so it brings the names in a little different direction. Charlotte + Juliet might be a little rhymy though.
Phillipa - this has the very grown-up and formal quality of your other girl names, yet it's also very accessible, especially with Pippa. I like it alot for you.
Verity- It shares alot of sounds with Cecily and just feels a bit different than the others in your family. it woul be a great middle name though.
Violet- similar to my comments on Juliet. Violet has a more vintage feel to me than Juliet though so I like it more for you.
Good luck! Do you know if you are having boys or girls or are you not far enough along yet to find that out?Wife to one great guy

Keeping in mind that you've let Juliet and Philippa go (which I think I would have suggested as well)...
Cordelia - I like this name. It's a beautiful, interesting name that isn't common but it's hard to pronounce or spell either.
Eleanor - Loveee this name. It's one of my favorites.
Olive - I like Olive alright, I do think though with the popularity of Olivia that she'll be called Olivia here and there, but that's probably not a big deal.
Verity - I really do not like this name, I don't understand the appeal of this name, it just sounds rough to me. Plus, I do think it sounds rhyme-y to Cecily. May be better suited as a middle name - like, Cordelia Verity.
Violet - another name I love. Such a pretty name.Favorite girl names of the moment: Cecilia, Eleanor, Amelia, Violet, Charlotte, and Ramona
Favorite boy names of the moment: Henry, Micah, Jack, Elijah, Owen, and Jonah

Thank you! I am glad to see more homeschoolers as well. Your girls names are lovely as well! We considered Penelope for ourselves but eventually let it go, though it is extremely beautiful. I should have posted about the genders in the original thread but I forgot lol. Our due date is actually pretty soon but we decided not to find out the genders this time. We have not found out any of the genders beforehand since Josephine, we just decided to be surprised
We like to have a few options to take to the hospital and then decide for sure once we get to hold them.

Cordelia- this one is linked in my mind to the snobby heiress in that movie Monte Carlo.
Eleanor- it's okay, but not my favourite. I do like the nn Ellie.
Olive- I find this one really old-fashioned and old lady-like. I honestly prefer Olivia even though it's more popular.
Juliet- I think it does fit, because your kids' names are a mix of classic and modern.
Philippa- a bit of a mouthful but I think Pippa is such a happy nickname.
Verity- not a huge fan, but it could work for a middle name.
Violet- I love this one. Again, I think it fits because you have a wide variety of existing names.I'm Erin, a teenaged writer who loves names (and dessert).

Cordelia - Very Victorian-Era in my mind, I have always thought it pretty.
Eleanor - LOVE Eleanor!!!
Olive - It's cute and a bit quirky--in a good way.
Juliet - Not sure it fits either...maybe for a middle though?
Philippa - I understand the appeal of this name for you; I have owned 2 horses & competed extensively with both of them...it is a true passion of mine. I love this name mainly because of it's meaning, but I will admit the popularity of Pippa puts me off...I think the nn's Philly or Pip are adorable, though!
Verity - I like this name, and do not hear it often.
Violet - NMS.In current favor of...:
Boys: Abel, Ian, Eamon
Girls: Mary, Lena, Marin
