Albert Hudson - Usually I like combos that combine old-school and trendy more, but this one not so much. I guess I just really don't like Albert.
Chanson Blake - Isn't that the french word for "song"? Are you pronouncing is CHAN-sen, just like it looks?
Edmund Tempest - Wow, cool. I hope he grows up to be a famous artist of some kind. Nice paring.
Elias Henry - Meh. Okay. I love Elias, but Henry's not helping him from where I stand.
Elijah Quinn - Great!
Edison Oscar - the S's feels a little repetitive, I guess because they are a bit close together for my liking. But that's just nit-picking, it's a fine combo.
Evan Andrew - I love Evan, but I don't like the repeated "an"
Finnegan Chase - Cool!!
Harrison Dane - Very handsome
Isaac Keith - sounds better the other way around: Keith Isaac
Max Seymour - the X and the S sound run right into each other. Again, nit-picky, but that always bothers me a bit.
Sebastian Wolfgang - very composer-y. I don't think I'd use both in the same combo
Sydney Alexander - Nicely done!
Tennyson Theodore - The alliteration looks nice. I don't love the length of both names together, but it's not bad. Tennyson Theo? Theo Tennyson?

Thank you so much for your opinions, yes Chanson as in the french word for song, I'm vry much into "-son" names at the moment and I figured that with little girls being named Lyric, Harmony etc Chanson wouldn't kick up too much of a fuss. I'm pronouncing it CHANCE-un, with the possible nickname of Chance.
I'm struggling to find middle names for Jenna - I am not happy with the repeating "a" sounds at the end of both names either. Max - I want to use something longer because Max is 1 syllable but I'm finding it rather difficult. And Roxana - I love Roxana and Riley so I lumped them both together with not much thought.

Chanson...yeah, that's doable. A bit on the trendy side of life, but no biggie.
Max Tennyson?
Roxana Daisy?
Riley Summer?By the way, I'm a big fan os "-son"s as well...Anderson, Emerson, Hudson, Carson, Benson, Harrison, Jamison, Samson. :)

Loving:Elias Henry
Sebastian Wolfgang (gutsy!)
Elena Maxine (quirky, but it works -- I love a good surprise like that)
Matilda Alice (aaaaaaaaawwwwwww)
Natasha EveWould love to tweak:Evan Andrew -- The Ns are too close together. Andrew Evan flows better.Isaac Keith -- The K sounds are clobbering each other. Edmund Keith?Max Seymour -- Bad flow. Edmund Seymour? Henry Seymour?Tobias James -- Both end in an S/Z sound. Tobias Matthew and Edmund James?Summer Daisy -- Too cutesy. Summer Elena? Violet Indiana -- Sounds like a town. Violet Indira / Isidora?Winter Ivy -- Too cutesy. Winter Isobel? Gwyneth Ivy?You have many, many great names and combos here. I don't have the energy to go through each one, sorry. So I focused on a few. Go ahead and bash my suggestions. Fair's fair. :-D

What do you think of Tobias Keith and Max Tempest? Also Harrison Henry - too much?I like the closeness of Ns in Evan Andrew so that's staying put.Isaac James or Isaac Henry?Summer or Winter? I quite like both but my opinion is constantly changing on which one I like more. What middle name would you give them both?Thank you so much :-)

I thought of Tobias Keith but I didn't know how you felt about country-western music star Toby Keith. There was some political back-and-forth with the Dixie Chicks during the last American president's term. So he's kind of a lightning rod. But if that's not a concern I love the combo Tobias Keith. Very strong and handsome and it flows beautifully.Good for you sticking to your guns on Evan Andrew. :-)Isaac James and Isaac Henry are both wonderful. Of the two I'm drawn more to Issac Henry. But family honoring is important too. I live in a cloudy, rainy climate and I like it like that. I'm definitely more of a winter person. That said, I can see the attrasction to both Summer and Winter as a name. Tough choice. Combo ideas:Summer Adele
Summer Chloe
Summer Lucy
Summer Julia
Summer Carlotta / Charlotte
Summer Elena
Summer Daphne
Summer Aurelia
Summer Evelyn
Summer Anouk
Summer JohannaWinter Isobel / Ishbel / Isibeal ("ISH-bayl")

Toby Keith rings a tiny bell in the back of my mind somewhere but I don't think it will be much of a problem since I'm in the UK.
Thanks for the Summer/Winter suggestions, I like:
Summer Lucy
Summer Evelyn
Winter Niamh
Winter Seraphine
Winter Vivien (especially this one as my late Nan was called Vivienne) :-)

Oh, good. And by all means Winter Vivienne -- for Nan. :-)

Boys:
Albert Hudson - I love Hudson in a GP kind of way. I think Albert is really nice and unexpected paired with Hudson.
Edmund Tempest - lovely combo, I really like Tempest as a middle name
Elijah Quinn - I like Quinn, I would rather see Elias than Elijah
Harrison Dane - not really a fan of either name but I like the flow of the combo. It has a nice sound
Tennyson Theodore - I love, love, love Tennyson! Tennyson Theodore might be a bit too much but I like the idea.
Girls:
Henrietta Skye - lovely! Henrietta should be used more. I prefer Skye spelt Sky
Matilda Alice - sweet name but Alice Matilda sounds better
Roberta Brooke - I feel like I shouldn't like it but I think I do. I like the way it sounds.
Summer Daisy - it's too much, too precious, too sweet. I actually consider Summer a strong name. Daisy ruins it. Two word names paired together is more often than not a bad idea.
Violet Indiana - I like Indiana but Violet Indiana... not so much
Winter Ivy - love Winter (but for a boy) but again, word name paired with word name is not really my style
