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.

GIRLS:
Elizabeth Joy - nice
Chloe Annabel - nice
Megan Sylvia - nice. I've always loved the name Megan, and it sounds so much better/spunkier with a middle name like Sylvia then it would with, say, Nicole or Marie
Cassandra Nicole - ok. I've always disliked the name Nicole in both first or middle name slots
Ava Jordyn- like Ava, dislike Jordyn
Mariana Elis - like Mariana; Elis looks incomplete to me
Chelsea Angelina Sophia Joss - I don't mind the 4 names, but I don't love any of them. They sound nice together, though
Magdalena - nice
Cynthia Isabella - nice
Taylor Patricia - dislike Taylor, but like Patricia. Here happens again what I said above, though: Taylor Patricia has a nicer ring to it than Taylor Nicole or Taylor Ann or any other "generic" middle name
Madison Pisey - horrible. I really don't like Madison, and while I believe that Pisey is a surname honoring someone, it just doesn't work
Devin Lotte Christine - I wish they had left out Devin ... Lotte Christine is lovely. Lotte is a recognized first name in Europe (especially the Northern and Benelux part), pronounced as "Lotta". If it had to be Devin, I would have preferred Devon - much more feminine!
Elizabeth Joy - nice
Chloe Annabel - nice
Megan Sylvia - nice. I've always loved the name Megan, and it sounds so much better/spunkier with a middle name like Sylvia then it would with, say, Nicole or Marie
Cassandra Nicole - ok. I've always disliked the name Nicole in both first or middle name slots
Ava Jordyn- like Ava, dislike Jordyn
Mariana Elis - like Mariana; Elis looks incomplete to me
Chelsea Angelina Sophia Joss - I don't mind the 4 names, but I don't love any of them. They sound nice together, though
Magdalena - nice
Cynthia Isabella - nice
Taylor Patricia - dislike Taylor, but like Patricia. Here happens again what I said above, though: Taylor Patricia has a nicer ring to it than Taylor Nicole or Taylor Ann or any other "generic" middle name
Madison Pisey - horrible. I really don't like Madison, and while I believe that Pisey is a surname honoring someone, it just doesn't work
Devin Lotte Christine - I wish they had left out Devin ... Lotte Christine is lovely. Lotte is a recognized first name in Europe (especially the Northern and Benelux part), pronounced as "Lotta". If it had to be Devin, I would have preferred Devon - much more feminine!

GIRLS:
Elizabeth Joy - plain but classic and nice
Chloe Annabel - pretty, I really like this combo
Megan Sylvia - ok
Cassandra Nicole - ok
Ava Jordyn - nice, although I see Ava as old fashioned and sophisticated and Jordyn as peppy and fun
Mariana Elis - Is Elis like Elise? If so, pretty
Chelsea Angelina Sophia Joss - I don't usually like three names so 4 is way too much
Magdalena - very pretty and exotic
Cynthia Isabella - Very pretty. I like Cynthia a lot
Taylor Patricia - don't like this combo. Taylor, I like it better on a boy. It is more 90's on a girl. Patricia is very dated, the 50's.
Madison Pisey - What is Pisey? Is it a misspelling of Pisces? Is it like Pissy? Bad, bad name
Devin Lotte Christine - Devin, I prefer on a boy but it is ok on a girl. Lotte looks like a creative spelling of Lot to me; I prefer Lottie but only as a nickname. Christine is a good strong classic
Taina Vanessa Robbin - Is the first name pronounced Tain ah, like Raina? I think Taina Robbin has the best flow, although I like Vanessa best out of this combo.
