I want you to know that I just had a geekgasm. AWESOME.
I got all but Apolline and Abraxas, and I mixed up the Lestrange brothers, but I submit that Bella probably did, too. ;P
I agree with you on the name thing except for three exceptions: we learn in the trial scene in OotP that Percy's legal name is Percy Ignatius Weasley, and Harry is Harry James Potter. Also, when Remus announces the birth of his son, he calls him Teddy from the get-go, and this seems odd unless it's his given name. I think this might just be a think of JKR's, however, as she names people with nicknames quite a lot. So maybe she's just wrong. ;)
Also, though I agree from your samples that naming the eldest son with his father's first name as his middle is standard, I suggest that James 2.0 is as likely to be James Sirius Potter, because Harry seems to have had complete rein over the naming of his and Ginny's children (I can't see Ginny coming up with "Albus Severus" on her own), and he seems to like to name them for his dead.
Seriously, I was cackling with geekitude. You guys rule.
