I think I prefer Phoenix, but I'd like Felix better.....

My reasoning: All your kid's names have long vowels in common, the only exception being the last syllable of Nathan. But two of the names, Hayley and Nathan begin with a long "a" sound. For the sake of variety, I would therefore eliminate Jacob, Ayden, and Caden from your list--They're all too repetitive of this sound. But on the other hand, Jasper, Oliver and Daniel all lack any long vowel sounds at all, making them outliers in your naming pattern.

I agree that Willow is a perfect blend for your sibset, but I would recommend that you keep looking for a boy's name that's a better fit. Eli or Milo, maybe?
