Middle name suggestions / which do you like best?

[starcrossed.livejournal.com]

01. I'm looking for middle name suggestions for George and Wesley. Everything I try seems very bland and doesn't have much spark. I've kind of been playing around with George Leo and Wesley Flynn. Other names on the shortlist are Jack William, Oliver James, Owen August and Owen Ezekiel (I'd love feedback on any of these names too!) If it matters, my surname is Longley (aside from one letter!)

02. I've narrowed my girl's choice down to four: Eleanor, Poppy, Amelia or Charlotte. The middle name is very likely to be Gwendoline after my Nan. Which one would you go for? I also think I like Laura Claire (too bland or just understated and classic?) but would probably use this for a second daughter or as a backup.

I really like Wesley Flynn! It has a nice ring to it. I'm not too sure on "Wesley Longley" said as a whole, though. I think it's the -ey endings.

Jack William, Owen August, Owen Ezekiel are all great. Not common, but not "out there" where you'd get a 'look' when you say them lol. I'm not a huge fan of the name "Oliver" for some reason. My dad's dog is named Oliver (Ollie), maybe that's why... not sure.

For girls I love Amelia and Charlotte the most. With the middle name you have chosen, though, I would go with Amelia Gwendoline or Poppy Gwendoline. The others are kind of a mouthful when said together.
