First of all, you're going to need to make two separate polls- one for boys, one for girls. Here are my opinions on the names:
Girls:
Jaime Alexandra F- I quite like Jaime, and Alexandra is lovely. A nice combo
Maia Catherine-Jean F- I don't like this spelling, prefer Maya, and it would sound better if you used just Catherine or Jean as a mn... Maya Catherine is nice
Jaime Jean F- these 2 names don't sound good together since they both start with J-
Maia Ryan F- Ryan is too masculine
Maia Ewart-Jean F- Ewart-Jean??? This doesn't sound very pretty to me
Summary: Jaime Alexandra is definetly the best of your picks. Maya/Maia Catherine would also be lovely.

Boys:
Luka Rodeo F- LOVE Luka! (although prefer the Luca spelling) but very strongly dislike Rodeo. It just sounds sort of ridiculous to me
Christopher Rodeo F- Again with the Rodeo. Christopher is okay, but I like your other choices better
Luka Jean F- Love Luka, but Jean is so feminine. Could you use the Thomas mn for Luka?
Elijah Jean F- LOVE Elijah, dislike Jean on a boy
Elijah Thomas F- Very, very nice name. This definetly got my vote. Very strong
Summary: Luka, Elijah, and Christopher are all nice names. I like Luka the best, but not with the mn's given. Luca Thomas would be my choice. Since that wasn't an option, I voted Elijah Thomas, which I love as well.

Good luck, hope this helped.

Of those listed, Maia Catherine (without the added Jean) and Elijah Thomas are by far the best combos. Luka and Christopher are also fine names, but the mn Rodeo is quite comical and I've only ever seen Jean used as a feminine spelling (and I'm assuming you're trying to honor someone here with the frequency of its appearance on your lists). Jaime isn't terrible, but it seems very dated to me, having grown up with perhaps a dozen people (male and female) with this name or a variation of it (and I definitely wouldn't pair it with Jean).

I think you'll find you'll get many more votes and much more helpful input if you make this two seperate polls, though. Otherwise no one can vote for their favorite boys AND girls name, KWIM?

You won't get accurate results for these names. You need to start 2 new polls - one for girls, one for boys.
