Please give your honest opinions. Pregnant with twin boys stuck on names that are pairs and middle names. Want to go with something 'cool' but not 'chavy'. Please give opinions.

Max
Leo
Rory
Brodie
Dylan
Flynn
Arlo

Frankie
Luca

I like Arlo, Max, Dylan and Leo best from your list

@LipstickHandbagCoffee bo-dee (rhymes with Jodie)

I'd go Max and Brodie. My initial instinct was to go with Leo and Max but I immediately thought of that song from the producers!

I like Leo and Max from your list - normal names, not ‘matchy’ but go together nicely.

Max - Overdone
Leo - Makes me think of Tony Blair
Rory - the lion
Brodie - Are you on Home and Away?
Dylan - Overdone
Flynn - Makes me think of Errol
Arlo - Pretentious
Otis - lifts
Frankie - OK, but I'm not keen on nicknames as names. Frank is better (even though I guess that could also be a nickname.)
Luca - Are you Italian?

I think overall I'm being very harsh but you did say rate and slate! In general maybe these feel too current/popular in the last few years. I suspect these could be the type of names that will really date.

Brodie - it's alright. Prefer Bodhi
How’s Bodhi pronounced?Bod-hi? Or Bawdy? Bodhi will cause problems

Max: I like, good strong name.
Leo: again a strong name and not too common.
Rory: Racing car, not a fan.
Brodie: like but it is becoming popular.
Dylan: it’s a naughty boys name to me.
Flynn: like not too common
Arlo: I like this but see it as a hipster name.
Otis: don’t like
Frankie: Love it for a girl but not a boy.
Luca: again hipster I prefer Lucien.

I’d skip choosing anything cool. Cool ends up dated or try too hard
Names are of course subjective but here goes
Max like it
Leo meh, lion springs to mind
Rory,like the name but I hope you’re in a part of world that can pronounce Rory,rollin r. Not wo-ray
Brodie love it
Dylan meh
Flynn like it
Arlo, wanky try too hard
Otis,infected ear
Frankie meh
Luca nice but popular with bugaboo types

Max - I find this boring
Leo - overused
Rory - I like it but too popular where I am
Brodie - it's alright. Prefer Bodhi
Dylan - hate
Flynn - too American, not keen
Arlo - it's okay, a bit overused currently
Otis - really like!
Frankie - it's okay
Luca - not keen, maybe because I know a female Lucah.

Out of your list I'd probably go for Arlo and Otis, although the only one I really like is Otis!
