names...of course!

Hi! I'm new here! I've been making Baby name lists for as long as I can remember. My BF and I constantly talk about our future and having babies and he likes to think of names as much as I do! I can't find my long list right now (i don't feel like digging through the desk stuff right now!), so i'll give you our short list and you can tell me what you think! My name is Joelene Beverly Spence, Beverly is also my Mum's name so it would be nice to keep that. My Bf's name is John William Matthew Murphy, he goes by Matt - I really like the name William because its my Dad's name and Brothers middle name! On to the list...remember the last name would be Murphy...
Girls:
Layne Beverly
Lillian Grace (Lillian is my Grammas name)
Madison (Maddy for short)
Malinda (Mali for short)
Olivia
Moira
Marni
Alex(a)? He really likes it, but its not one of my most fav.
Elsie (Maybe as a middle name?)

Boys:
William
Max
Spencer (this is to carry on my last name in a way-but he hates it-"its a dogs name"
Jake
Mackenzie

So! A short list for the boys...help! We both think M names sound really nice with the last name, it just flows better, prolly why his parents called him Matt from the beginning rather than John.
Any other suggestions? I like semi-traditional names, with a bit of a twist!
*(sorry this is so long! I forget how to do a cut!)*

Mackenzie is a frigging MALE NAME. It means "Son of Kenneth." Do your research, please.

doesn't really matter if its "technically" a male name if it evolves into being associated with females it becomes a female name.
