I like:
Elizabeth
Annabel (I prefer the spelling Annabelle)
Megan Sylvia (I think Sylvia Megan flows a bit better, but the combo as it is flows still)
Cassandra Nicole
Jordyn (I prefer the spelling Jordanne for a girl)
Chelsea Angelina Sophia (I like all three names, but not in one combo)
Isabella
Taylor Patricia
Devin Lotte Christine (I prefer Devin for a boy; I prefer Charlotte with Lotte as a nickname)

David Jacob
Matthew
Devin
Zach (I prefer Zachary with Zach as a nickname)
Frederick
Joseph
James
Devin Anthony
William

Other comments:
Attack of the boy name for a girl: Devin (and it was used two times for a boy, too; hopefully, all three of them won't be in the same classes!).
The spelling makes all the difference: Jordyn, Robbin, Carmon, and Wesleigh.
Way too many names...: Chelsea Angelina Sophia Joss (couldn't they decide on just three names...but four?!).
Just plain "what were they thinking?!": Elis, Pisey, Shing Chee (but I can handle this, since it's for ethnicity reasons, and the surname is Wong), Jame, Watson, Lasean' DreMarshall, Davian, and Lamer.
