I think Joshua and Megan, Josh and Meg, is great. And I like Sif's suggestion of Gabriel. Joshua and Gabriel, Josh and Gabe. Very nice!

Megan definitely a winner. Boys - Daniel or Michael - both have a couple of nickname options but also still work as the whole name should the nominee choose to be known as such.

I like both Megan and Emily. I love Emily v. much but Megan has the edge of being both very known and not quite as popular. On the other hand I might use Emily anyway if it went with my last name because I think it is super cute. For boys: Alexander - Alex, Xander, Sandy, Al, etc. Henry - Hal, Hank, Harry. Isaac - Ike, Izzy, Zack. Michael - Mike, Mick. I don't hear it on many little boys but everyone knows it. Jonathan - Jon, Jonny, Jonty. - I know its another J and I tried to not load up on them but it's not too close to work, I don't think. Zachary - Zach Dashiell - Dash Finnian, Fintan - Finn

I have a Joshua and a Samuel. I think nice biblical names work well-Benjamin or Zachary.
