You have great taste in names- I love your boys' names!


Aaron Robert- Love this one!! I think this is my favourite from your list.


Alexander Charles (Alex)- I really like this combo, and love both names. Alex is pretty popular, but I seem to be hearing it less and less, which is nice


Benjamin Matthew (Ben)- I really like this name and it goes so well with your boys' names


Charles Robert (Charlie)- Charlie has always been a weakness of mine- it is so sweet :)


Matthew Benjamin (Matt)- again, very sweet!


Your boy choices are all lovely, they all have great flow, and they all work wonderfully with your boys' nams. Admittedly some are a bit popular for my own tastes, but that isn't a huge problem, and they aren't too far in popularity from James and Nicholas. Aaron Robert is my favourite, followed by Charles Robert. Now that I think about it, Aaron Matthew or Aaron Charles does flow a bit better than Aaron Robert, which is a tad R heavy, but definitely not a huge deal- I think I am just being picky trying to decide between 5 choices that all seem so perfect!


Hannah Katelyn- I adore Hannah, and it goes perfectly with your boy choices. It is my favourite of your list. That said, I really dislike Katelyn and was surprised to see it on your list, but will come to that below when you use it as a fn choice!


Kailey Alexis- Really dislike this. It is trendy and doesn't go well with the classy feel of your boy choices at all. I find Kailey too cutesy and a tad dated, and Alexis isn't much better.


Katelyn Riley (Kate)- Riley is dated, trendy, and masculine- I dislike it, and really dislike this combo. While I do like Caitlin, Katelyn seems so trendy and the spelling just looks strange to me. I would LOVE Katherine nn Kate with your boys' names, but really, really dislike this.


Leah Riley- Leah is lovely, I really like this one. I don't like Riley, as I mentioned, but I love Leah!


Sarah Katelyn - Sarah is beautiful and goes nicely.


I really love your boy choices, but I think your girl choices are falling behind. I love Hannah, Leah, and Sarah as first names, but dislike all fo the mn choices.


My faves:


Aaron Charles & Hannah Katherine


or


Charles Robert & Sarah Caitlin

My favorites are Benjamin Matthew and Katelyn Riley. I think Ben and Kate work wonderfully together. They also go well with your other sons.

I just wanted to thank everyone who has answered back thus far. You all put alot of thought into you answers and we really apperciate the feeback. Clearly not many like Kailey or Riley. Admittedly Kailey's my least favorite. Riley was a bit out there for us but it is my wifes maiden name and she thought it might be nice to honour her father since the three boys will all carry on my last name. I dont think it stands much of a chance at making the cut.


alternative middle names for the girls would be appericated very much. Its been hard to come up with middle names for girls because we have a large family (i have 5 sisters and 9 neices), and we do not want to repeat any name which is unfortunate because that has eliminated a number of names we are fond of. We got lucky with my
