The Name Game 2.0

It has come to my attention that I have failed to post this week's clue.  Has a week gone by already?  Oops.  Here you go...

When we were expecting the Boy we had a list of "rules" for selecting names:

1. The initials can not spell any three letter words when monogrammed on an LL BEAN backback.

2. The name can not be butchered by a Boston accent (i.e. Parker=PAHKA and Carter="KAHTA")

3. It can not fall within the top 100 on the Social Security list for the previous year.

4. He/She should not be 1 of 3 in his/her Kindergarten class.

5. I must never have had a student with the name.

6. The name will not be spelled "KREE-A-TIV-LEE" (i.e. Heighleigh instead of Hailey)

7. A future teacher reading a class list will not have to wonder how the name is pronounced.

THIS WEEK'S CLUES:
Boy Name 1 potentially breaks 1 of those rules
Boy Name 2 breaks 2-3 rules

Girl Name 1 breaks 2-3 rules
Girl Name 2 breaks 2-3 rules
