I really like [name]Jack[/name], [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Ryan[/name]! [name]Max[/name] would be my second choice. Good luck!
I love the name [name]Anthony[/name]. [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Mason[/name] is cute. From your list I like [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Thomas[/name], and [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]. [name]Max[/name] is cute but sort of nickname-y to me. I like [name]Maxwell[/name], or [name]Maximus[/name]. I’d steer clear of [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Robert[/name] unless you want his initials to be ARF. Not that big of a deal though. Anways, good luck choosing a name (:
[name]Jack[/name] is my favorite name and I really like [name]Claire[/name], so I think we have similar tastes. My favorite is [name]Max[/name]. I really like names that are classic but not flowery, strong, but sweet and I think [name]Jack[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Max[/name] all embody that spirit. A [name]Max[/name] can be anyone, but to me a [name]Max[/name] is smart and funny and a boy’s boy.
1 [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
2 [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Bruce[/name]
3 [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name] (gives you [name]Max[/name] too! 
4 [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Robert[/name]
I never cared for the name [name]Anthony[/name] or the nn [name]Tony[/name] and it doesn’t seem to have the same classic yet simple appeal that [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] have. I also don’t care for [name]Patrick[/name] because it is excessively common where I live and every single [name]Patrick[/name] I have ever met (more than 10 of them) went by [name]Pat[/name].
I really really like [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Ryan[/name] and [name]Max[/name]. You can’t really go wrong with any of them.
I voted for [name]Patrick[/name] and [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]. I think both go really well with your other kids. I especially love [name]Benjamin[/name].
I think [name]Max[/name] [name]Friedman[/name] sounds great, but I also like [name]Anthony[/name] a lot. [name]Anthony[/name] [name]John[/name] or [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Elijah[/name] is great. I like [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] too!
I voted for [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] because it’s my nephew’s name. It is pretty popular, but is very wearable and fits him perfectly.
Hmmmm, so these are really all the choices you like? Because, as you point out, many of them have problems. I do think [name]Max[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] are too close. I like [name]Patrick[/name] but not so much with [name]Friedman[/name] and I think if you hate [name]Pat[/name] (me too!) you might not want to go there. [name]Ryan[/name] IS too popular, for too long. [name]Anthony[/name] is ok.
But in the end, I’m going to go with [name]Benjamin[/name]/[name]Ben[/name]. Think it’s the most compatible but distinct with your other kids’ names. Think it’s best with your last name. [name]Ben[/name]/[name]Jen[/name], yeah, a bit close. But I think it’s the least of the issues…
I like [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Thomas[/name], but I would drop the h to avoid the double th-sound; [name]Antony[/name] [name]Thomas[/name].
That’s funny, [name]Ottilie[/name], because dropping the h in [name]Anthony[/name] makes me want to pronounce it in [name]Thomas[/name]!
We love other names but they have been taken off the list for various reasons - [name]Samuel[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Joseph[/name]… I feel bored with our final list and would love any suggestions! Thanks!
Have you thought about the name Anthony Ryan? I love this combination and it would use one of your favorites, Ryan, and gives you a middle name for Anthony. My favorite from your list would have to be Max Anthony. I love the the name Max and I think that it will work well with Jack and Claire. Are you set on using Anthony in his name? If you are not, another suggestion I have is Benjamin (Ben) Ryan. I also really like the sound of these two names together but I do not really care for Benjamin Anthony, I think it is too long especially with your last name. Just a few ideas and opinions…I hope I was helpful!
Good luck deciding on a name and congratulations!
I would like to have [name]Anthony[/name] either as the first or middle since that was my grandfather’s name.
I am not in love with [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] either and agree its really long especially compared to [name]Jack[/name] [name]Louis[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] [name]Bonnie[/name]. [name]Both[/name] their middle names are not names I would have paired with their first but are also honor mn’s. I really struggled with something to match [name]Bonnie[/name], [name]Anthony[/name] originally seemed so much easier !
I do like [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Ryan[/name], but some people have pointed at the intials ARF aren’t that great.
I voted [name]Max[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]. I think a 1 syllable name goes best with [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] and I really think [name]Max[/name] anthony sounds great together. If you don’t like [name]Max[/name] with your last name are there any other 1 syllable names you like? I’, sure you have gone through so many names, so I’m sorry if this is not helpful. Too bad [name]Samuel[/name] is out. I think that would work really well with [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] because of nickname [name]Sam[/name]. What about [name]Nathaniel[/name] or [name]Nate[/name]? [name]Jude[/name]? [name]Finn[/name]? [name]Lucas[/name] or [name]Luke[/name] - I REALLY like [name]Luke[/name], [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]! Good [name]Luck[/name]!!
[name]Jack[/name] [name]Louis[/name], [name]Claire[/name] [name]Bonnie[/name] and brother…

I voted for Patrick, followed by Ryan. I know a couple of Patricks that are ages 8-16: they go strictly by Patrick, so I think you can avoid the Pat nn. I love Jack, Claire and Patrick together! Ryan also goes well with the sibset. Other suggestions:
Callum

Kyle

[name]Anthony[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] were hard for me to choose between for my favorite. I like them both. Not the biggest fans of [name]Benjamin[/name] or [name]Max[/name]. But [name]Ryan[/name], [name]Patrick[/name] or [name]Anthony[/name] would all made solid, safe choices to my mind (though all just a bit too common for my taste).
[name]Benjamin[/name]. Such a beautiful, good-natured sounding name.
