Hi Eliza -
Your fn are great..., but I think Barbrendara is very long with the fn & your ln.

I love the idea of naming your kids after their grandparents.
Hmmmm... BARBRENDARA - I would not use this it looks made up and I can not even pronouance it ... sorry just being honest.
If you are thinking about combining the names (which is a good idea & makes everyone happy) what about Brenna? OR can you use the parents mn's instead of their first names? OR one of each? Maybe if you post a poll with both mothers first and mn asking for suggestions on a name combination that would work - thats would I would do.
For your daughters first name I like Evangeline & Elizabeth (Elizabeth a little more thought)
What about Emmeline?
Out of your boy names I like Grayson & Carson (Grayson a little more)
I would also do a poll with each of the fathers first and mn's to get any suggestions.
You can also name one of the boys after the mothers and/or one of the girls after the grandfathers. My name came from my grandfather and one of his brothers & I am so lucky to be named after my g'pa becuase he is so great!
Terrah (prn Tara) for a girl mn after Arthur & Terry
Barden OR Barren for a boy mn after Brenda & Barbara
You can even write out the first and/or mn and make your own name out of the letters from the name - It would be a fun way to create a name out of the parents and can be a tradition for each child from different family member and a cool story to tell your children later (if you decide to do this, I would save all of the names that you came up with and put it in a baby book to laugh at later.
Hope any of this was helpful.
One thought that we did have too, was using my Mom's maiden name as a middle name for either boy or girl.
Why not scrap that Idea totally and give all the children your names as middle name?
I know a
Hate Barbrendara....
Evangeline is FABULOUS!
Don't like Duncun...but Duncan is just ok.
Since we're tossing around ideas, one other that occurred to me:
Brenda + Barbara = Dara (my baby sister's name LOL) was my thought as well. MUCH better than Barbrendara as a mn. That one just leaves one wondering "what the heck is that?!" ;) Since the names are so similar, I'd either go with an unrelated B____a name to honor them both or use something from the endings, like Dara.
