Dominic Angelo - great name. Very Italian
Elijah Emanuel - not crazy about Emanuel but really nice alliteration. I like the combo
Elijah John - fine name
Emilio Romeo - at least now Johnny isn't the only one without an A name. Too singsongy and I don't like Romeo as a name. Emilio is nice though
Gabriel Tristan - feels slightly pompous - like they want to try to sound rich. Flows nicely though
Hunter Gage - nms but not bad
Jake Robert - prefer Jake as a nickname but not too bad. Hannah & Jake go well together
Jayden Ravel - not too bad. Ravel makes it much more interesting. i wonder if it is an Arabic name?
Liam Sheldon - ick. It doesn't flow it all and the names do not complement each other either
Marcus Joel - not crazy about either name but not a bad combo
Maximus Xavier Jr. - I actually really like this. Not really my style though
Michael John - very simple & boring
Michael Tadhg - ok
Nathan Laurence - nice. He got the best name out of his siblings. At first I was pleasantly surprised that his middle name is after mom but I guess since both siblings are after dad, mom should at least get a middle name
Nicholas Joseph - boring but I like that they used Joseph
Nicholas Rian - ok
Noah Andrew - love this.
Rowin Crane - Rowen Crane would have been much better

I know Ravel only as a French last name (as in the composer Maurice Ravel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravel).

I've never seen Maridela before either, I wonder if it's a variation on Marinela or if there's some other source.

My guess would be that it's a combination of Maria and Adela kind of like how Maricela is a combination of Maria and Celia. Combination names are pretty common among Hispanic people. Noelia and Jesus are Spanish names, so I'm betting that at least part of the family is Hispanic.

I realy like Dominic Angelo. And Michael John. I've always loved that combo, as simple as it might be. And his mom's name is Magda! I love the Michael Tadhg family, too.

Re Magda, a lot of families in Pennsylvania seem to have Polish ancestry and I've seen some great names in these BAs (and the reason I try and include other family members in these announcements -they're often more interesting than the babies' names).
