I like [name]Rose[/name] the best with your surname, but I like the combo [name]Isla[/name] [name]Gray[/name] a tad bit more than [name]Rose[/name] [name]Ellen[/name]. [name]Isla[/name] [name]Lenox[/name] is a bit hard to say, unfortunately.
I like the flow of [name]Isla[/name] [name]Gray[/name] [name]Lennox[/name] the best.
I don’t think [name]Isla[/name] [name]Lennox[/name] is hard to say, the [name]AH[/name] sound breaks up the double L nicely.
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Grey[/name] is a really cool name…its my favorite of your options
I love [name]Rose[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] [name]Grey[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Grey[/name] [name]Lennox[/name] is a beautiful name. This would be my pick!
I was reading your names and thought they were perfectly nice combinations, but then I got to [name]Isla[/name] [name]Gray[/name] - and it struck me! It is stunning! It is such a glamorous name - a modern version of an old Hollywood feeling name. I love it! [name]Isla[/name] [name]Lennox[/name] is actually really pretty, and not difficult for me to say at all.
I like [name]Hartley[/name]–for a boy.
thanks for all the suggestions guys! Really helpful!
I think it’s completely ok to give this child two middle names even if your twins don’t. I’ve known people who don’t have the same number of names as their siblings - and it’s never been a big deal.
I definitely think you can use two middles this time! Your twins have the same naming pattern, but they’re twins, it’s ok to differ with this one especially with such a good reason like wanting to honour both sides of the family.
My cousin has two daughters, the first has two middles and the second just one, I don’t think it’s an issue.
I think [name]Hartley[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name] [name]Lennox[/name] or [name]Isla[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name] [name]Lennox[/name] would be gorgeous! I like [name]Rose[/name], but I don’t like [name]Rose[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] together, it feels a bit country and hillbilly ish to me for some reason :S
Good luck 
These 4 names are very different in style but the neat thing for you is that since your twins have rather different styles of names, any of these would basically fit in! I do think [name]Isla[/name] or [name]Rose[/name] fit a little better - [name]Sadiya[/name] and [name]Wendy[/name] are both clearly feminine unlike [name]Hartley[/name], and a little bit shorter/more familiar than [name]Temperance[/name], but I do think [name]Hartley[/name] and [name]Temperance[/name] still work! I agree it’s fine to use two middles. I voted for both [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] since I think they’re mildly preferable. Good luck!
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Gray[/name] is such a striking combination!
you guys have all really helped out a lot. Thanks for that!
You live in [name]Portland[/name]. As someone who spent several years in Seattle-- are you sure you want [name]Gray[/name]?
Lol that’s funny. I was actually born in Seattle, but yes I’m sure I want to use the name [name]Gray[/name]. Old family name and it means a lot to me.
