Rowan, Brecken, and Bergen sound like boys names to me. Pfeiffer I don't mind, I love the actor Michelle Pfeiffer and I don't mind the sound of the name for a little girl. It kinda reminds me of Piper with a little twist. It sounds nicer than Piper in my opinion.

I do like Hudson, Ryder, and Torren. I don't like Thorsen. My favourite would be Torren out of my top 3.

The only name I don't like for your girls names is Bergen. I've never heard Pfeiffer but love it. I also really like Brecken and Rowan as girls names.
And the only boys name you have that I don't like is Thorsen. I do like the other 3.

These are my all time favourite girls names -
Avery (my daughters name)
Piper (similar to Pfeiffer, I think that's why I like it so much)
Macey
Harley
McKinley
Kinsley

My favourite boys names -
Caleb (my sons name)
Keagan (my youngest sons name)
Jaxon
Owen
Nolan
Noah

They might be too popular for you, since the names you listed are unique.

LOVE Pfeifer! Very cute and I'm not normally a unique name person... I love Hudson very much, as well!

Girls:
Personally, I prefer more feminine names than what you have listed. I like Rowan a lot, but Brecken and Bergen are REALLY completely masculine to me. Pfeiffer usually isn't a name that I would like, but its not bad. You would need a cute nn for it though, and I can't think of any.
Suggestion: Avery, Bronwyn, Sage

Boys:
Nice names. Ryder is too trendy IMO, but the others are awesome! Any of the other 3 would be nice picks.
Suggestions: Sawyer, Thane, Gage

My favorite is Rowan, but I like Pfeiffer and Brecken as well. I'm not too fond of Bergen.

I love Hudson and Ryder. I like Thorsen, but don't care for Torren as much.

Great picks all around! Good luck! :)

For girls' names - Rowan's great. Pfeiffer is cute. Brecken makes me think of brackish water - or Breck shampoo. Bergen calls Bergen-Belsen to mind (concentration camp during WWII). Sorry if I'm dumping on your favorites. :)
