Makenna Kathleen -- Makenna, McKenna, and all the variants just aren't my cup of tea.
Natalie Adele -- Uh-lee Uh-dell... repetitive sound is throwing me off.
Lily Grace -- Very generic.
Athena Katherine "Attie" -- I admit I have a guilty pleasure for Greek god names. I like this.
Cora Ann -- Too short, too brief. Lacking.
Taytum Willow -- Not liking this at all. Would have preferred to see Tatum.
Madeleine Helen -- Love both names, but not together.
Elsie Elizabeth-May -- Cringing. Elsie is a nickname for Elizabeth, isn't it? Why couldn't she have been Elizabeth May "Elsie"?
Emmi Josephine - Wish they had gone with Emeline or Emily, or even Emma. Josephine is beautiful.
Maisie Barbara -- I'm starting to like Barbara more. Maisie is hard to grow with, though.
Bethany Anne -- Boring.
Charlotte Rose -- Pretty, simple and inoffensive.
Olivia Joy -- Boring imo.
Reyna Inez -- Ehh...
Harriet Harper -- If Harper were her last name, she'd be a super hero or journalist in 1950-1960 culture! Unfortunately as a first name and middle name all I get is Har-Har.

hyphenated middle names
For girls, especially, I have noticed is becoming much more common in the last 5 years or so. I've seen them a lot. Interesting.

Makenna Kathleen: I don't think this is awful. I would never choose Makenna for myself, especially with that spelling, but it's a fine name. I love Kathleen.
Natalie Adele: Cute. I love Natalie, and Adele makes an adorable middle name.
Lily Grace: Now THIS is boring. Nice, but boring. So many Lilys in the world, it makes me long for a Rose or even a Daffodil. :P
Athena Katherine, "Attie": Aw! Attie is a nice touch. Not that different from Addie/Addy, but it has its own flavor, and I appreciate that. I love Athena (powerful), and Katherine is always a good standby. I approve.
Cora Ann: I love Cora, but I don't think it packs a whole lot of punch with Ann. Ann makes a bright pink name like Cora wilt. Eh.
Taytum Willow: Trendy as hell. I like Tatum, but Taytum looks stupid. I never liked Willow much. I know people have boners for this name, but I have never understood that. It sounds weak and wispy to me.
Madeleine Helen: Nice, but very upper-crust, IMO. That in and of itself isn't a bad thing, but it's a little cold. I don't care for it.
Elsie Elizabeth-May: Couldn't Elsie be a NN for Elizabeth? This combo confuses me. Also, Elizabeth May is becoming a very popular middle name combo. I'm hearing it everywhere.
Natalie Adele: Cute. I love Natalie, and Adele makes an adorable middle name.
Lily Grace: Now THIS is boring. Nice, but boring. So many Lilys in the world, it makes me long for a Rose or even a Daffodil. :P

Haha, thanks for all the comments, this was really entertaining!
Just a note, Clifton William was named after his father and grandfather, both also called Clifton but they can't all go by the same thing. :)

Yes they can, because Clifton/Cliff is better than William/Will. The end.
