Benjamin
Grant Girls:
Cecilia
Maria Elizabeth Joan - very simple names but very pretty together
Livia Grace
Olivia
Lucy

Lilly These are particularly bad, imo:
Breck - bad enough for a boy, but for a girl?!
Breckyn - again, for a girl?! Please don't tell me this is a new trend...
Timber Brilee - hope she's not a big girl, or the kids at school will never stop yelling "Timber!"

:WARNING:
I am critical. I will be harsh and probably not like most of them. Since I do not know the children, it is an attack on the name, not the child.Boys:
Landon Duane -trendy and yuck.
Cameron Lee -Cameron means "crooked nose". how could they do that? Lee is boring as a middle name. Filler.
Ryan Paul -doesn't flow and is highly boring.
Bryant Jacob -bleh...Jacob...no imaginaton.
Matthew Allen -Matthew is sturdy. Allen is ugly, imo.
Carson Ryan -treny as ever.
Joseph Alexander -Joseph has never been my style. Alexander holds some class.
Aiden Michael -boring and unimaginative
Owen Steven -yuck to that flow and neither name is my style.
Conner William -I like William; it's clasy.
Mason Christopher -nms..boring.
Elias James -WOOHOO!! A good one! Like a diamond in the rough! I ♥ James. And Elias is great.
Benjamin Bare -Bare..as in naked. Not a good name. Benjamin is nms, but I like Benji.
Grant Degory -blah! That's ugly.Girls:
Breck Cecilia -Breck is not a name; it is an animal sound.
