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.
