Need opinions on names list

I'm looking for opinions on my names list. DH and I are torn & we can't seem to resolve it down.

Wyatt is our only boys name but we want to add in my mum & nan's names in masculine form as middle names. Two syllable surname starting with W - Wyatt Linden Patrick W. Too much?

For girls we have Fleur & Lydia with no middle names thought of yet.

If you hate all of the above what would be your suggestions?

A sibling for Layla & Amelia.

I'd be concerned about the WW initials. I don't mind alliteration normally but I've been inserting surnames (Wyatt Walters, Wyatt Willer) and they sound a bit silly to me. If you're comfortable with it though, go for it. Otherwise I'd suggest using Patrick as the first name.

Fleur and Lydia are both nice. I'd be tempted to use Fleur to avoid confusion with Layla, but I don't think Layla and Lydia are too similar as such.

I don't really know what kind of names to suggest for someone who likes the slightly unusual Wyatt and more common girls names.

Eric maybe?

I don't mind the alliteration with our surname. It's quite similar to one of the ones you posted but sounds a little better together. Wyatt is a given for a boy so it's just the girls makes & middle name issues.

DH is a bit unsure about using Fleur but likes it as a name. Layla was my choice from the Eric Clapton song of the same name but he prefers more classic names such as Amelia. He vetoed Fable for a girl Hmm

Layla and Lydia sound too similar, I think. Fleur is pretty and so is Flora.
