Girls-
Ayantika [f] (Anahita [f]) - If anyone here is of Indian background (or just familiar with the cultures), would you mind telling me what the cultural reasoning is for Indian siblings often having similar sounding names? It seems I always see a lot of rhyming (or near rhyming) sibling names from India. Is it just because parents like how they sound together or is it more than that? That being asked, I like Anahita, but don't care for Ayantika.
Zamira Christine Margaret (Tane [m]) -I like Margaret. Not the rest of them.
Stella May (Poppy Maria) -I like Stella. Maria and Poppy are okay.
Brydie Maree (Taylah, Bowen, and Zachary) -This doesn't seem like it will ever grow up. Poor child. Siblings are equally bleh.
Ashley Piper (Kate) -This would have name a lovely boy name. Don't care for it on a girl though. Over it. Neutral on Kate, but they don't go well together, imo.
Elanor Lorinda (Eric) -Elanor is the Lord of the Rings spelling and I'm here for that, but Lorinda can be taken out with the trash. Eric is meh.
Lila Rose -As simple as this is, I like it.
Florence Vera -I think Vera Florence would have flowed better, but I like these names.

It's definitely a kreatyv spelling of Hugo :(

Ick. I tried to say it in Spanish and then realized it didn’t make sense.
What was wrong with Hugo? It just kind of seems to me like spelling it Huego would make it confusing to pronounce.

I tried to say it in Spanish too, and apparently 'huego' is an obsolete form of fuego: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fuego#Old_Spanish
imo, that would definitely make a cooler name than Hue-go :)

Oh, I definitely agree about the Patrick on a girl being weird. I'm not sure if I think it's kind of awesome to use the mother's father's actual name, regardless of gender, or if I'd prefer Patricia. I'm thinking about my own great-grandfather who was called Patrick and I honestly don't think that giving a daughter the middle name Patricia would really make me think of him when I thought of the name. I'm still mulling it over.
I added the context for that one from the BA because I thought it was important that people didn't think it was just a random boy's name as a middle name like all of the celebrities suddenly using James as a middle name for their daughters.
