Names from our newspaper, siblings in brackets.

Jacob John Howard
Ella Grace
Brett Elgin
Jamie Drew (f) (Morgan, f)
Liam Christopher Robert
Gareth Reed (Sydnee, f)
Teagan Birch (f)
Gavin Lee
Sadie Maya (Saskia)
Jordan Xavier Jonathan (Sierra, Logan)
Eric Leif (Reed)
Paige Audrey (Madison)
Mateo John
Devynn Ellen (Cailynn, Braedyn)
Samuel Philippe
Ciara Hayley (Claire, Charles, Catherine)
William Daniel (Fiona, Gwyneth)

I was pretty impressed at the names at first, but they got worse as I kept reading. I do like quite a few of these names, though, especially Gavin, Jordan, Mateo and William. I dislike Gareth, Devynn, Madison and Teagan the most. I was surprised at the number of cases where multiple middle names were given!

I'm pretty impressed with the sibset William, Fiona and Gwyneth. Not a fan of Devynn, Cailynn and Braedyn, though! I don't love sibsets where they all start with the same letter, but at least Ciara, Claire, Charles and Catherine are all decent names individually.

I'm normally not a fan of boys' names on girls, but as boys names go Jamie and Morgan are pretty decent in my books. I normally prefer a feminine middle name if the first one could be either, but in this case her father's name was Drew, so I think that works.

Sadie is cute. I like Fiona and Gwyneth. Devynn isn't good for a girl. My friend from grade school named her son Devyn.

I agree ... I know a boy and a girl with this name, but they at least both spelled it Devon.

I love Fiona and Gywneth as siblings. Gywneth is my grandmother's name and Fiona is my niece!! :)

Eric Leif is funny (Leif Ericson?) but I actually like the name Leif a lot. And Leif and Reed would have made a nice set of siblings. Ciara Hayley is pretty terrible.

I like a bunch of these.
Ella
Liam
Teagan ::hides::
Sadie
Paige Audrey, although I prefer Audrey Paige, or better yet Aubrey Paige
Samuel
Claire, Catherine, Charles
Fiona (<333 it's on my list), Gwyneth

Homygod, poor Devyn, Cailynn and Braedyn. Especially Braedyn and Cailynn. Could they have picked uglier spellings if they tried?

I agree with you on Paige Audrey/Audrey Paige ... it flows much better this way, and I like Audrey as a name better anyway.

again with the ella grace. that needs to stop. it really does.

i like samuel, claire, catherine and fiona.

i think gareth may just be one of the most vomit worthy names ive heard. seriously. yuck. and with sydnee? even worse.

otherwise, most of the list kind of made me want to cry.
