I have a feeling most of you are going to be pretty harsh about our girl names, but I have tough skin, and I don't know any of you personally, so let me know what you think !

I don't love Avery by any means, but it's the best of the three. HATE McKenna.
Dominic is nice. Bentley is awful. Carter is fine.
I don't like the girl names. Kinley and Avery scream "I was born in the 2000's" while Mckenna screams "I was born in the 90's"
I really hate Bentley. Most names that end in "ley" sound so childish and stupid on an adult and Bentley definitely fill the bill.
Carter is ok and I like the combo of Carter Michael.
I really like the name Dominic. That would be my choice.
For the boy, Carter Michael. I think that sounds nice. Dominic is also fine. Bentley is horrible.
ETA: Edited because you gave your reasoning for the two middle names.
Would you consider Marie as a first name? I like it much better than your first name choices. If I had to pick from your first name choices it would be Avery. I think Mckenna and Kinley are terrible.
I love Dominic. Carter is meh. Bentley is awful.
I like Avery and Dominic
The only name I even kind of like on your list is Carter. Dominic isn't terrible either, I suppose.
Of your girl names, the one I dislike the least is Avery.
Girl: Avery, I loathe the other 2.
Boy: Dominic. Bentley is a car that you can't afford, it is a good dog name but spare the kid.
If I had to pick from your girl names I'd go with Avery but I don't really like any of them
How about using your 2nd MNs as first? Elyse is pretty and Elizabeth and Grace are fine names
From your boy names I like Dominic, Carter is just ok and really dislike Bentley
I like Dominic and all the boy middle names. I can deal with Carter.
I'm not a fan of two middle names. Maybe you could use the extra mn for a fn instead? Elizabeth Marie, Grace Marie, and Elise Marie are all lovely.
I dislike all of your girl names (especially Kinley) and I hate Bentley. A lot.
This.
Agree completely.
Ditto.
Out of your girls name Avery is the one I dislike the least, but it's still one I would never use, mostly because it sounds like a boy's name to me.
I don't really care for any of your boy names either, but I think either Carter or Dominic are fine names, even though they're NMS.
I love Avery Marie & like Carter Michael, although I think Carter Edward flows better.
I love Dominic Anthony!
Congrats on choosing! But since you want opinions....
Yeah, Dominic Anthony is the only one I like.
ITA.
I know a boy Avery and I don't personally care for him so the name is tainted for me.
Love Kinley. It is trendy but that doesn't bother me about names I also like Mckenna but Kinley would be my favorite. Why two middle names? Not a big deal just curious.
Don't love Bentley b/c of teen mom. Love Carter. A friend spelled it with a K so it doesn't look like the clothing brand name. I like spelling either way. I like Dominic but I don't like the NN Dom b/c of fast and furious
I'd have to vote Avery for girls, even though i grew up with a unisex name and have always HATED it. Everyone else I've known with a unisex name has also hated it.
Dominic. Carter isn't bad, but is very trendy and will soon sound dated. Bentley is just a ridiculous name for a grown man.
Avery is the best out of the 3 girl's names, for some reason Kinley is a guilty pleasure name to me, I'd never use it tho bc I cannot imagine it on anyone older than 5. McKenna is just bad. Would you be willing to switch Marie to the second MN? I think that Avery Elizabeth Marie flows better than Avery Marie Elizabeth.
For the boy's names, please please please don't do Bentley, it is truly awful (sorry), I'm not a big fan of Dominic, but I do like Carter. I think Carter Anthony has a very nice flow to it, more so than Carter Michael IMO.
Ick on your girl names. Avery is the only one I can get behind, and I'm over it.
Carter and Dominic are both fine, though NMS. Both are 1000% times better than Bentey

7DPO Progesterone: low. CD3 BW: normal, HSG: clear
DX: severe MFI (low all 3) and low T. Undergoing replacement therapy.
Avery Marie Elizabeth- Avery is ok but kind of a blah name to me.
Kinley Marie Elyse- I actually kind of like Kinley, its cute but not a very good adult name.
Mckenna Marie Grace- AWFUL!! I cant stand the Mc names, I think a lot of people feel the same way.
Boy:
Bentley Edward- I dont think this name is terrible but I instantly think of teen mom, not really an association you want to make.
Carter Michael-
Nice name!
Dominic Anthony
I really like Dominic!
I would do:
Avery Marie Elyse (I like this better than Elizabeth) or
Dominic Anthony
ITA
I MUCH prefer your girl middle names than 1st names... Elizabeth and Elyse are both lovely. By default, I'd have to pick Avery but I don't love it.
Boy: Carter Michael
I literally hate every one of the girl names. SO cutesy fartsy and don't age well at all... I can't take Kinley seriously. It just sounds ridiculous, by far the worse of the 3 but I hate McKenna almost as much. Avery is eh....
Bentley screams I am a teen Mom and/or live in a trailer to me. Carter is ok. Dominic is lovely.
Love Avery Marie Elizabeth. Love Kinley Marie Elyse. Don't care for Mckenna Marie Grace.
Love, love, love Bentley Edward. Like Carter Michael. Love Dominic Anthony.
