Classy names, most of themRobert John Walter: Nice classic name
Benjamin Euan: Ditto, I really like the Celtic Euan.
Louis James William: I like the not so common Louis
Charles Alexander (Abigail and Isabel): All siblings have great names.
James Michael (Hannah): Classic but very common
Christopher Matthew Kirwan "Kit": Refreshing with a Kit instead of the ubiquitous Chris
Max Coughlan (Jasper): Nice, but Jasper has the most interesting nameMaddison (looks distinctly out of place!): These parents must admire trendy American names more than the classics.
Beatrice Alma: Beautiful
Hannah Sylvia Carys: Sylvia Carys would have been great, why did they chicken out with plain Hannah?
Theadora Alice Ruth: Theodora looks better imo. But all three are really good names imo.
Eva Holly: Pretty"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

Robert John Walter - looks family honoring. I like Robert John or John Walter or Robert Walter, but why cram them all in one?Benjamin Euan - This family better be Scottish or else they're trying reallly hard. OK combo, flows wellLouis James William - Louis isn't so great to me, but James William is very nice.Charles Alexander (Abigail and Isabel) - Nice combo, fits sibset very wellJames Michael (Hannah) - Kind of boring, but better than someChristopher Matthew Kirwan "Kit" - Kit is an underappreciated nn. I like it, but Kirwan is a bit much tacked on there.Max Coughlan (Jasper) - Max is OK as a nn. I have no idea where Coughlan came from or why anyone would name their child something with "cough" in it. Max and Jasper are a good sibset, though.Maddison (looks distinctly out of place!) - You said it best. Madison is annoying to begin with, but then to do that to it?Beatrice Alma - Lovely! Two beautiful names that compliment each other and are not so commonly used. This is how parents SHOULD get creative.

Charles Alexander is handsome. I also like Robert John Walter.Eva Holly has an odd sort of charm since they seem like too different classifications of names. Hannah Sylvia Carys caught my eye. Another odd combo that is lovely._____

Robert John? And James Michael? And Charles Alexander and Christopher Matthew? Please. A bit of originality, people! I couldn't come up with more boring combos if I tried.The girls' names are more interesting.
Beatrice Alma - Flow is dreadful; Alma Beatrice sounds so much better. Beatrice is OK. Alma is not that flattering in sound. I picture a chubby girl.
Hannah Sylvia Carys - The world has quite enough Hannahs, thank you very much. It should've been kept as a middle name. Carys Hannah Sylvia would be cute, or Carys Sylvia Hannah.
Theodora Alice Ruth - Bad flow, but OK names. Alice Theodora Ruth, that would be nice. Does no one think of flow anymore?
Eva Holly - I think Eva is alright and Holly's lovely. Yet again, the names don't flow together. And the combo is too short for me.
I don't think Maddison seems so out of place. In the UK it's still bohemian and different - a bit ahead of its time. (Inevitably, it's going to get more mainstream, under US influence. And it's already hit the UK top 100.)_____________________________________________________________________Elinor'Why do people with closed minds, always open their mouths?'
