My vote is for Tess Christine and Delaney Sophia. I think it's an adorable twinset. FWIW, I know a Linley (spelled this way) and recall that Trista and Ryan's (from "The Bachelorette") DD is named Blakesley. So, I'm pretty sure that they're legit names, just NMS. How about Blake Francesca instead? I also know two girl Blakes under the age of 3 and it's grown on me. Francesca (nn Frankie) would be a nice FN, too.

You don't like "trendy" names and yet you have Lynley on your list? Methinks you need to re-evaluate what you think that word means. I like Christine, Anne, and Francesca. Tessa (Tess looks like a NN) is NMS but it's better than Delaney, Lynley or Blakesley (WTF is Blakesley?!). Also, the sets you have put together make no sense to me. I don't think that names have to match, but you've got Lynley with Tessa - one trendy/made-up, and one classic. They just don't go together.
If I could rearrange, I'd keep Tess Christine and go for Anne Francesca or Francesca Anne.
This, big time.
I would classify both Lynnley and Blakesley as quite trendy, in the sense that it is a current trend to tack random -leys onto the ends of other names. I think they will both come across as timestamped.
Francesca Anne, meanwhile, is absolutely gorgeous.
For everyone asking where Blakesley came from... My husband is a race car driver one of his best friends that passed away last name was Blakesley. So it would be honoring him and my husbands career. So I did not make it up

Nice tribute... BUT just b/c it's someone's LN doesn't make it a suitable FN. (I still maintain that this is the Trista and Ryan Sutters' DD's name, though. It always struck me as an odd choice.) If I were you, I'd go with just Blake (which is unisex) or use Blakesley as a MN.

If it's very important to you to use Blakesley, what about Delaney Sophia and Tess Blakesley? That way the first name doesn't sound so "trendy," but you can still honor your loved one. As others have said, I think Delaney and Tess make a very cute sibset!
I'd go with Delaney and Tess, and use Blakesley as a middle name. Or Delaney and Blake if you want to use it in the fn spot. Last name does not = first name.
I voted for the family names. Overall I like them better, but is Lynley the actual family name or a variation? If it is actually just Lynn, I would just use that somehow.
If I could rearrange, I'd keep Tess Christine and go for Anne Francesca or Francesca Anne.
Blakesley is really hard on the eyes.
Agree completely.

Tess and Anne would be really cute together. I like Delaney too. Blakes-whatever is awful. It looks like something I would run across on Teen Mom. I know a Blakely. Not necessarily my style but much better. Lynley is okay but I think Linley looks a lot better.

Ooh! Me too! Anne and Tess is darling.
Made up and misspelled is kind of trendy right now unfortunately So I would throw out Blakesley.
What about Delaney and Tess together?
Agreed. Sophia is nice but very trendy. Delaney isn't terrible but Blakesley and Lynley are just wrong.

Can I vote for Delaney and Tess? I like those two together.
I really like Francesca too, but Blakesley is all kinds of awful.

My Ovulation Chart
My vote is for Tess Christine and Delaney Anne.
If you must use Blakesley, use it as a middle name. It does not make for a pleasant female first name.
Agree completely.
