I actually think both Nancy Kate, and Matilda Kate sound lovely!

Boys names I'm struggling with myself so I'm no help really! Love Jude though! (vetoed here!)

Nancy Elizabeth Kate.

Nancy Kate Elizabeth.
Matilda Kate Elizabeth.

Both great names.

I wouldn't go with Harry William because it's just a bit too much of a Royal Princes' tribute name. I really like Ralph William or maybe Jude Oliver.

Both your girl names go with Kate.
Boys names- none of them for me, particularly Alfie and George which I cannot stand, but not my choice Smile

I like Oliver William and would swap the combinations a bit to get Henry David (nickname Harry), George David, David George, Oliver Jude or Oliver George.

I'm not so keen on Nancy or Matilda but they're perfectly good choices if you like them.

Are you hoping to include Kate Elizabeth exactly as this, or would you be quite happy to use related names, nicknames etc?

Nancy Eliza Kate
Matilda Katherine Beth
Kitty Matilda Bess

Like both the girl’s names.

Boys I would ditch Jackson, Henley, Lennon, Ralph and Alfie - awful. The rest are good.
