I like Ava and Charlie

I'd like Isla Elizabeth best, I think
don't like Lyla, Brooke or Kimberlee and Aimee Gabriella is just too Franco-Italian for me, unless the baby is Franco-Italian, of course

boys - Charlie Lucas is my favourite

Isla is ok but will date very quickly, like Elin but not sure they go together.

Lyla is nice but again think it'll date, Elizabeth is a great middle name.

Brooke Kimberlee - awful

Ava Elizabeth is definitely the nicest.

Aimee I don't really like, especially not that spelling, Gabriella is pretty.

I like Charlie, actually I like Charles with Charlie as a nickname but don't like the other boys names.

I agree - Isla Elizabeth works best and is lovely.

I'm not keen on your boy's names TBH.

Girls;

Isla Elin- fine not sure on elin
Lyla Elizabeth-okay
Brooke Kimberlee-this is a joke right?
Ava Elizabeth-the nicest choice
Aimee Gabriella-these names dont gel and I prefer Amy

Charlie Lucas- Charles with charlie as a nn is nicer
Hayden Vincent-Vincent is lovely Hayden is not

Just my opinion though, go with what feels right

I can't even say Lyla Elizabeth out loud!

from the girls list i like
Ava Elizabeth and Isla Elin best

and Charlie for a boy

really, really dislike the name Hayden. it's quite irrational, but there you have it!
Vincent is really, really good though!

Of all, I prefer Ava Elizabeth of the girls' names - mostly because you have spelled them "correctly". I'm not a fan of unconventional spellings so Aimee, Lyla, Elin (yes, I know it's Tiger Woods' wife's name but still...) and Kimberlee don't work for me.

Charlie Lucas and Ryan Lucas are OK but don't thrill me.

Isla Elin...like it
Lyla Elizabeth...not keen on Lyla
Brooke Kimberlee...like Brooke and kimberley but not with 'ee' at the end
Ava Elizabeth...like it but Ava so popular lately
Aimee Gabriella...like it too but very popular? What about Gabriella Amy?

Charlie Lucas...like it but too popular, prefer Lucas as first name
Hayden Vincent...like Hayden but not Vincent
Ryan Lucas ...like this alot

My faves would then be Brooke and Ryan.

Girls;

Isla Elin - love
Lyla Elizabeth - like them separatly but not together, hard to say
Brooke Kimberlee - hate
Ava Elizabeth - no
Aimee Gabriella - no, not a fan of this spelling of Amy myself

Boys;

Charlie Lucas - two of the most popular names in my area so no
Hayden Vincent - I love Vincent but not Hayden
Ryan Lucas - this is the best one of the three but also not too keen on it either.

I know someone called Charlie Lucas! (first and surname).

Elizabeth and Vincent, don't like any of the rest, sorry. Particularly don't like the unusual spellings.
Some of your combos don't scan when said out load either, eg. Ava Elizabeth are nice names, but it comes out 'Aver Elizabeth'.

Isla Elin doesn't sound good said aloud - it merges into Islerellin...or else will be like a toungue twister for some people.

Isla Elin - truly dreadful
Lyla Elizabeth - both ok on their own, but not together, too much of a mouthful
Brooke Kimberlee - sounds like an American porn star
Ava Elizabeth - definitely the best
Aimee Gabriella - prefer amy, Gabriella ok

Boys;

Charlie Lucas - Charlie very commonly used now
Hayden Vincent - dislike both names
Ryan Lucas - ditto

Sorry! But you did say don't hold back

I love Isla and I don't agree that it will date. It's been semi-popular before (what about Isla Fisher www.imdb.com/name/nm0279545/ and Isla St Clair www.islastclair.com/?) I do think it goes better with Elizabeth, though, as others have said. I would have been tempted to pick Isla for our DD except for the fact that our surname is Whiteley and that would have been daft...

Charlie Lucas is very nice. I'm not keen on Hayden or Ryan. Lucas Charles might be a good alternative and you then have the option of calling him Luc.
