Berkeley Hermes (f) = Parents are Rick Ross and Briana Camille. Half sister to Toie (f) and William Leonard III.
Agyemang (m) = Parents are Reggie Bush and Lilit Avagyan. Brother to Briseis and Uriah, half-brother to Preston Alexander.
Viggo Sebastian = Parents are Grant Turnbull and Nadia Bjorlin. Brother to Torin Mathias.
Henry Bear = Parents are David Caspe and Casey Wilson. Brother to Max Red.
Jones McCoy = Parents are Tony Romo and Candice Crawford Romo. Brother to Hawkins and Rivers (m).
Henley Grace = Parents are Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis.
Delilah Ray = Parents are Jason Wahler and Ashley Slack.
Opinions?
I think Viggo Sebastian and Torin Mathias are an amazing sibset. I like Delilah Ray and Henry (but not with Max as a brother).
Briseis is definitely one of my guilty pleasures.
Not a fan of the others.

Henry Bear - I'm not a fan of Bear as a name but at least it is the middle name. I love Max and Henry as a sibset!
Delilah Ray - probably my favorite out of this list (slim pickings). The names flow really well and complement each other. It does feel a little country western, which is fine if that is what you are going for.
Ugh....the Romos. Why do they insist on naming every child a surname type name that ends in S? What was wrong with just River, although River or Rivers Romo sound awful.

Berkeley Hermes is amazing. Love it.
Briseis, Uriah, and Agyemang is an incredible sibset. I'd love to more know about why they chose each one.
Max Red & Henry Bear are too matchy-matchy to me.
I saw Hawkins, Rivers, and Jones a week or 2 ago and I still can't get over it. Can you tell themes/matching kind of drive me nuts?
Similarly, Henley Hehner rubs me the wrong way.
Delilah Ray has a great sound.

I have no idea who these people are, but anyway...
Berkeley Hermes - as someone here said, this sounds like a handbag. Isn't Berkeley a university, btw? And Hermes doesn't fit a girl.
What's Toie supposed to be and how do you pronounce it? TOY-eh? Twah?
William Leonard is OK, but being a Jr or This-or-that III or IV seems so boring.
I don't know what to think about Agyemang, it's so foreign to me. I guess it's Armenian. Briseis is cool. Uriah is awful. Alexander is nice, but not Preston.
Viggo Sebastian and Torin Mathias are nice names, although I prefer just Tor or Thor to Torin.
Henry Bear sounds childish, like Rupert the Bear. Max Red sounds like he's absolutely blazing red.
Jones McCoy, Hawkins and Rivers are all surnames.
Henley Grace - Henley is ugly even on a boy.
Delilah Ray - I'm not too fond of Delilah, it's a bit like Lolita or Gigi. Ray is too masculine on a girl.

I hate Alexis. It's so annoying'90s rich girl

I really like Alexis. Not fond of Olympia and it's kind of a mouthful with Alexis, but I don't mind that much since Alexis is the first name.

I guess they also don't care that she's not actually a son? I like the name, just not the Jr. It's misused because the middle names are different, yeah, but also - to me those "ranks" of names (Jr, Sr) are to distinguish among people of the same gender. If her mother were Alexis, I could see making her Alexis Jr.
If I were in her place, I'd insist on a familiar name that was different from my father (Alex? Allie?), and for those who aren't familiar but need to distinguish us, on Ms Alexis for me and Mr Alexis for him. Same deal if the mom and son were both Alexis.
I think she could also be Alexis Ohanian II. Well, if the middle name were the same, but assuming they don't care.

the female Junior ...
Has been done, but not very much. It's not all that uncommon (or wasn't till several generations ago) for daughters to be named after their mothers, but they would usually just go by a nickname, and Jr. or II wasn't attached to their names.
However, Jesse Jackson has a daughter named Jackie Jr., (as well as a son named Jesse Jr.) and Dog the Bounty Hunter has a daughter named Lyssa Jr. And recently read a book about Bob Hope, and he mentions a character they had on his radio show back in the 1930's. Her name was Cobina, and she was named for a famous socialite of the time named Cobina Wright, Jr. (The real Cobina Wright Jr. sued the producers for defamation but it was apparently thrown out and they ended up on good terms.)
But I still think it's lame; I'm not all that wild about sticking Jr. or II onto boys either.

I think it's a nice feminist statement.
Also, I know a few Juniors with different middle names but who use the Jr/Sr thing- even if it isn't technically right.
I know the sex was a surprise for them (though they thought they were having a girl), and both he and she are very vocal feminists, so I wonder if they wanted to use Alexis regardless of gender after her Dad and they were like "Why would he be a Junior and not her?"
I think it's cool. I really like Olympia and I'm wondering their reasoning for using it...I know Serena and Venus are both Latin and not Greek but Olympia has a similar "feel" to her mother and Aunt's names.

Well, if they felt like it was unfeminist to not call her Jr, and/or they mean to try to redefine Jr/Sr as a genderless designation, that's alright with me. They're probably not the only people who think that way about it, so maybe it works. I'm not unfeminist but it's not something I'd do, because it has a little tension with my idea of feminism. For me, it doesn't feel like it can change Jr/Sr as normative male designations. When women adopt traditionally male-gendered affectations, to me it often just seems to affirm a sexist assumption - that only things associated with masculine roles can be normative, good, privileged, empowered, preferable, etc. I guess not all that much in this case since the Jr does have practical function.
Btw I like the combo with Olympia, too, it is very cool. And I agree it has a similar vibe to the other names.

A boy named Serena Williams Jr. would be a nice feminist statement ;).

Agreed ;)
But they had a girl!
I'm don't think it's even close to a 'perfect' statement and nothing I would have done...just don't completely hate it even though I do dislike the name Alexis.

Looks like Tony Romo and his wife or whatever she is have a thing for s-ending surnames. Hawkins, Rivers and Jones sounds like a law firm. Specializing in personal-injury.
So sick of people sticking Bear or Blue or Wolf into combos just because. Henry Bear sounds like a character from the Wind in the Willows or something. Max Red sounds like a very strong type of marijuana.
Henley Henner sounds dumb. It reminds me of my mother's little dog, Penny, who is often called Penny Penners.
