I like:
Lela Annemarie - Prefer Layla
Rebecca Lindsay - Prefer Lindsay for a boy, but it isn't so bad here as a mn
Naomi Agatha - Like both names, but together they have no flow. Wonderful to see Agatha being used though!
Emily Kaia
Mia Emily
Gracie Ann - Prefer Grace and Anne. But Grace Anne sounds choppy to me, so I would further alter that to Grace Anna or Anna Grace. However, I wouldn't use this combo in any guise, because no matter how pretty it is, it still means "grace grace"
Dominga
Desire - It's a pity this is so tied to sex nowadays. It used to be that this name indicated a long-awaited child, as in "my heart's desire" or some such sentiment. It was used by the Puritans and Victorians for that reason. (I also once saw a 10-year-old Desire on Maury)
Joseph Gary - Nice to see Gary being used!
Ariel Damian - Love Ariel on a boy!
Aiden Carl - Much prefer Aidan
Bryant Leon - Again, nice to see Leon being used
Robert Lee
Juan Carlos - Nice, solid Hispanic name
Kyle Scott - A bit choppy, but not too bad
Christian Jay - I wouldn't use Christian because I'm atheist, but I do like the way it sounds, and its history among royals
Jeffrey Morgan - Love Morgan on a boy
Matthew Luke - A bit religious much? Still, the combo sounds alright
Shun
Baby Yax? Did they want a baby yak, but instead got a human infant? And I hope Barc's short for Barclay.
