Okay - I come from a big family too and so does my husband and we wanted to honor both sides - so I know what you're going through! Is this the only child you plan to have? If not, you can always name future children with more of the family names. That is what we did! We started with the great grandparent's names first because chances are, we will have less time left with them. We have 4 children, so it worked out. No one had hurt feelings - they were just happy we had a baby! Our oldest is a girl so we used a first name we liked, then gave her the middle name Frances (which is my husband's dad's and grandpa's middle name, but spelled Francis - the masculine form). They LOVED it and felt so honored and all of my side was good with it - it was a beautiful name: Mattea Frances
Here are some I like:
Girl
Kaelynn Grace
Kaelynn Elizabeth
Keely Mary
Keely Grace
Boy
Ryan Cole
Ryan Graeme
Nolan Dennis
Nolan Graeme
Austin Randall
Something else that may help you decide - look up the meanings of the names and see if the meanings go together as the first and middle names go together.
My children's names mean:
God's free gift
God's pure wind
Strong harvesting tower
Jehovah is the Lord who remembers
Best Wishes! Hope I could help!

This was a tradition in my family for a long time... but when my kids were born, I didn't want to do it. Then, I decided not to name my kids after anyone... and made the declaration that my kids would have thier own names... and not have anything that they might feel that they had to live up to.
Now... if I HAVE to pick from your names... then I'd go with:
Boy: Austin Ryan
Girl: Halleigh Jean
If you're not dead set on using these names, then here's a few that I'd recommend...
Boys:
Connor Hamish
Duncan Liam
Ewan Fergal
Girls:
Alexandra Rahne
-- the Rahne would be pronounced "Rain"... and you could always nickname her "Lexie"
Lorelei Valentine
Lorna Rae
-- the Rae being pronounced "Ray"

Madalynn Grace and Everett Blane. Both very cute, but name the child what YOU like, not what other people think. But if you want to avoid any hurt feelings i would steer away from family names, such as Madalynn Keely, adorable, and Everett Blake

I love the name Madalynn, that is my daughters name on it is spelled Madelyn, Madalynn Jean is cute, boy name Ryan Cole, or Jaylen, or what about the name Blaze, for a boy, I also like Amara, Amiah, Aminah, or Atheana for girl names.

It's so funny, I just had a baby 12 weeks ago and his name is Nolan, so of course that's my favorite boy name! :) But we were going to have his middle name be ryan because we liked the sound of Nolan Ryan. We changed it to Nolan William because that's my fiances middle name.
I like Grayce Elizabeth, but its funny because also we were going to chose Madalynn for a girls first name cause we liked it
