Ellery, Tyler, Jackson and Christopher don't work together super well in my opinion. Tyler on a girl seems very random in this set, so unless there's a reason given for it in the story, that would REALLY bother me as a reader. Taylor wouldn't matter, but Tyler is a bolder, rare choice and it sticks out. Christopher on the other hand stands out as a choice that seems too conventional/uninspired for a family that named their daughters Ellery and Tyler. So either Tyler or Christopher needs some reasoning to back it up. Or, both. Or you should tone down Ellery and Tyler, or spruce up Christopher. In typical middle child fashion I don't even notice Jackson, lol.

My favourites are Caitlin Marie, Ellery Catherine and Jackson Brian.

The parents names are good, but with the exception of Christopher Jeremy, which is fine, the kids names are kind of...ugly. Ellery and Tyler for girls are just distastful. Jackson Brian is a complete fail, sounds terrible together, and and both are rather a yawn.

I dislike the spelling of Caitlin, or any spelling with a 'C' really. Just doesn't look as nice. Other than that, the combination is fine.
Nicholas Alexander: GREAT!

Ellery Catherine: Decent & solid. Catherine Ellery sounds slightly better, IMO.
Tyler Marie: For a girl? Nope!
Jackson Brian/Christopher Jeremy. I'd honestly swamp these. Brian Jeremy/Jeremy Brian & Christopher Jackson. They just sound better.

I like Caitlin Marie, Nicholas Alexander, Catherine, Jackson Brian, Christopher Jeremy

I do like the parents' names. But I will tell you this it's very very rare for a narrative to include more middle names than just the protagonist's.

I like Ellery Catherine
