Archie Kieran (parents Graeme and Louise) - sounds ok but Archie is too nicknamey
Benjamin David James (parents Mark and Stephanie)- all nice classic names
Blair Daniel (parents Robert and Aimee; brother Robbie)- think Daniel Blair sounds better but I really like Blair on a boy. Completely underused in US
Craig Kyle Stephen (parents Stephen and Lorna)- has no flow at all. Craig Stephen or Kyle Stephen or even Craig Stephen Kyle would have been better
Euan Lloyd Leonard (parents Fraser and Elizabeth; sister Marianne)- sounds very proper and British to me. I really like Euan; Lloyd and Leonard are very dated over here.
James Stuart (parents Keith and Caroline; sister Emma)- uppercrust sounding yet not snobby; I like
Jamie Christopher (mum Bethan; brother Lee)- prefer James Christopher but this is nice

Caitlin is used as a name, then?
I'm curious, because I was always told it was a form of Colleen and meant girl.

Oh yeah, it's extremely popular here. It was top 10 for most of the 90s as far as I know. Were you thinking of Cailin?
Edited to add: If you were thinking of Cailin which means 'girl' ... Even Colleen is occasionally used in Scotland. It's not popular, but Scots wouldn't know what it meant in vocab Irish, so there's no barrier to using it. Only a tiny proportion of Scots (about 1 in 100) know Scottish Gaelic, let alone Irish Gaelic :-)
