FAMILY 1:
Madeleine - I love Madeleine! It is one of my favorites.
Shannon - I hate this on a boy or a girl. It's an ugly name in general.
Xanthe - I hate this as well.
Phoenix - super cool name. I'd like it as a MN.
Xascha - think I"m seeing a theme here with the "X" in each name. I really hate this. I don't like Sascha either.
Hendrix - cool tribute to Jimi I suppose. Would only tolerate it as a MN.
The funny thing is, I really like Bennett and West, the two surnames, and would have rather seemed the boys with those names. :)
FAMILY 2:
Alex - I'm in the minority here, but I really dislike the name Alex on a boy. I much prefer Alexander as a MN or Alexis/Alexandra/Alexandria, etc. as a FN on a girl.
Melanie - it's alright. I'd never use it though. Seems pretty dated. I much prefer the Greek name Melaina.
Luke Anthony - I love Luke, especially as a NN for Lucas or Luca. I hate Anthony
Lily - love it
FAMILY 3:
Jules - eh. I like Julian. Even Julius. I just prefer the Jul- names (Juliette, Julia, Juliana) on girls.
Anne - it's alright. I much prefer Anna
Indigo Ellen - don't really care for Indigo. For color names, I prefer Sienna, Violet, or even Jade. Ellen is okay, although I would LOVE Eleanor, Elena, or Helena.
Madeleine - I love Madeleine! It is one of my favorites.
Shannon - I hate this on a boy or a girl. It's an ugly name in general.
Xanthe - I hate this as well.
Phoenix - super cool name. I'd like it as a MN.

It's not a typo, her name really is Mtia. From the pictures, she's of Australian Indigenous descent, so I assume the name makes sense in one of their languages.
