[mischa]

1 Tessa, Gavin and Liam
2 Tessa, Gavin and Noah

Honorable Mention:

Samuel

I find Gavin and Owen too matchy in sound. I like James, Samuel and Benjamin but these names are really from a different style than Tessa and Gavin. If similar style aren't important to you, I think Samuel would be my favourite of the three with your children's names.

I love Liam. I know it's becoming fairly popular, but I think it's such a great name. And I think it goes great with Tessa and Gavin.

Liam -- Love it and I love it with the siblings
James -- this ones seems boring to me and especially next to the other 2
Samuel (Sam) -- this is sort of the same as James, but I like it better with the siblings
Noah -- It's alright, nms, but nice sounding. I think it goes well with the others
Owen -- LOVE it with the others and I love it in general
Zachary (Zach) -- dated but cool and i love it and it sounds good with the others
Benjamin -- I don't think it sounds too much like Bing Crosby. I love it! Love it with the others too

I feel like Owen goes best with Tessa and Gavin. Granted, I love the name Owen.

Liam and Zachary are also good matches with Tessa and Gavin, but Liam is a bit on the popular side (too popular for me) and I feel like Owen is a better fit than Zach.

I like Benjamin next, but it just seems like more of a classic name than the more contemporary Tessa and Gavin, so stylistically it doesn't seem to be a good match.

The last three: James, Samuel (Sam), and Noah are all nice names, but I just don't feel like any of them go that well with Tessa and Gavin.

My favourites are Owen, Samuel and Noah. Owen would be choice out of the lot.

I think all your names fit well together as a sibset, so you really can't go wrong here. If I had to pick a favorite though, I'd go with Samuel followed by Zachary and Noah.

[lilysong]

Owen & Liam work best culturally (Tess being English, Gavin being Celtic, Owen & Liam being Welsh & Irish -you'd have representatives from all the British Isles)

Tessa, Gavin & Owen OR Tessa, Gavin & Liam both work well together I think.

But, I also like Zachary & Noah with Samual as a #5. Not too keen on James or Benjamin for you -they seem overly popular and don't fit as well as your other choices IMO.
