Girls:
Lyla Violet-- I was torn between Violet and Grace, because I think Grace, of course, flows better. But what with Grace being the ever present middle name, the combo would've seemed predictable. Violet, I think, spices things up. :)
Emmaline Kate
Lily Roseline-- but I really, really like Annabel. I just prefer the spelling Anabelle :P
Carolina Harper
Lucy June

Boys:
Landon Carter & Landon Gabriel-- I couldn't choose :)
Alexander Owen
Graham Oliver-- I almost choose Isaac, because it's my favorite name and I can't help myself. But Oliver flows better, if I'm honest. Dawson would make it look too surname-y.
Noah Grayson & Noah Jude-- I prefer Jude, but Grayson flows better. I'd choose depending on last name.
Weston Josiah


I hope I didn't make things even more confusing! lol.

Girls:
Lyla-- I would eliminate Violet since both Lyla and Violet have the long I sound at the beginning and do not flow well together. I like Lyla Grace over Lyla Marilyn
Emmaline -- I would also eliminate Alexis because it is a bit L heavy with Emmaline. I like Emmaline Kate best.
Lily -- I wouldnt use two flower names as fn/mn combo so I'd eliminate Roseline. I like Lily Annabel
Carolina -- Carolina Delainey is a bit long IMO and doesnt flow well. I like Carolina Raye
Lucy-- Of these Lucy Addison sounds best but I don't think the two names complement each other in style very well. What about Lucy Caroline or Lucy Cadence?

Boys:
Landon-- I think Landon Carter sounds best.
Alexander--I really like Alexander Owen.
Graham--I think both Graham Oliver and Graham Isaac sound nice but Graham Oliver complements itself better.
Noah-- Noah Grayson is okay. What about Noah Jameson?
Weston-- I'd eliminate Riley because to the harsh R/W beginings of both Weston and Riley doesn't flow well IMO. Weston Clark fits stylewise to me.

My choices aren't based on my favourite name but on what sounds best for the first name!
Lyla Grace
Lily (this is hard I feel Lily Roseline is just kind of cheesy because of the flowers but I feel the other two are kinda harsh to flow with Lily) I'll go with Lily Annabel
Carolina Raye
Lucy June
Landon Carter
Alexander Kent
Noah Porter
Weston Clark

Lyla Grace - I don't particularly love Grace in the middle spot just because it can feel 'filler' but it works here. I love Violet but Lyla Violet is heavy on the L and doesn't flow as well as Lyla Grace.
Emmaline Kate - This combo has the best flow of the 3 hands down.
Lily Annabel - Lily Roseline is too floral. I like both Annabel & Sienna here. I chose Annabel as Sienna drags Lily slightly more trendy.
Carolina Raye - Not really loving any of these w/Carolina. Carolina Delainey is a mouthful and Raye & Harper feel a bit hard and choppy here.I prefer the spelling Rae.
Lucy June - Again none of these are really working for me. June has the right feel for Lucy but I don't like that they are both 4 letters long with u being the second letter. Carina is too different for style and era. Lily Carina would work. Addison feels too trendy. Maybe Lucy Adele/Adeline/Adelaide?

Landon Heath - Landon is nms but the combo flows well and matches for style.
Alexander Owen - Owen isn't a favorite of mine but this combo has the best flow of the 3.
Graham Oliver - Great flow.
Noah Jude - Jude matches best for style but again I don't like that both are 4 letters long.
Weston Clark - Josiah is my favorite of the 3 but when paired with Weston it sounds slushy.

Lyla Grace-Lilah is my preferred spelling though. That's just me. I like names with a 'h' at the end.
Emmaline Noel- Kate was a close second, but I think Noel is a little bit more modern
Lily Annabel-That sounds really nice actually. Probably my favourite combo of the whole list
Carolina Raye- Nothing wrong with a filler mn :P
Lucy June- This is really cute and original


Landon Heath- I think I 1 syllable name with Landon fits best
Alexander Lawson- Not sure why I like this combo, I just do
Graham Isaac-Because I love the name Isaac :D
Noah Grayson- Can't say I like any of these choices. I actually prefer the name Jude, but I think Grayson fits better with Noah
Weston Clark- Again, 1 syllable goes best

Girls:
Lyla Grace - I love 1 syllables after a 2 or 3 syllable first name - Grace is beautiful
Emmaline Kate
Lily Roseline- it sounds perfect together!
Carolina Raye
Lucy Carina

My FAVORTIE: Lyla Grace. To me, this is simply beautiful.

Boys:
Landon Carter
Alexander Kent

My FAVORITE: Alexander Kent. I love that you have nn options of Alex, Xander, and the full name alone is very strong sounding.
