I have to say I like Kenna best for a girl. That was on my list too but DH doesn't like it. Figures!
Grayden and Anden are up there for the boys.

Good luck!

Personally, I think Ethan and Logan are somewhat popular names now and I think some of your new choices are a little too unique to go with the sibling's names.
Ethan was rated #5 and Logan was up there too in popularity over the past 15 years. You can check it out at: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

But like you said, the posts on names are all just opinions. Please try not to get offended. Some people are just brutally honest.

Are you pregnant now????

I know that Ethan and Logan are quite popular. This is the reasoning for me looking for a different name for the next children. If I had known more about them being popular or becoming more popular, maybe I would have named them differently. Although, I do love their names regardless of popularity. In Ethan's school of 150 there is only 1 other Ethan than my son and he's in a different grade. Same with Logan, he'll be starting school in the fall and there is an older boy named Logan. I don't think that's too bad if there is only 1 other child with the same name as them in their school and not even in the same class. Now maybe there will be more as they get to Junior High and High School. My tastes have changed quite a bit with names since I've been on here. The names that I choose I love and it doesn't matter to me if they match my other children's names.

No, I'm not pregnant yet but we are planning on having 2 more children quite soon. I'm not offended in the least about remarks I get from others here. Everyone has their opinion, each to their own, different strokes for different folks. I am still throwing names around on here but we're fairly set on Tana Carys and Ander Grayson.

Don't get me wrong, they are great names. Hence the reason they are gaining in popularity. I'm sure you will make the right choice for you and everyone involved.

I am glad that you are not offended by the posts. We all have to be prepared for what may come when we ask for opinions.

Good luck with your future pregnancies!

I like the same girl names as you and my favorite boys name is Anden Ryker.
About your style I can tell that you really like welsh names, you've got loads in your lists
