Out of the boys names, I like Isaac Michael. For the girls, I like Elise Nichole. I do like the name Sierra, but I think it's overused these days. And Bella seems like a nickname to me. I love the name Isabella, or Isabelle, and the nickname Bella.

I like Isaac Michael, Elijah Christopher, and Elise Nicole and Grace Marie. Asher is nice, it would be my third choice for a boy. Cannon is nms, sorry.

As for Sierra Jane and Bella Haven, the names individually are nice, I just don't like them together. Jane, IMHO, is better suited with more traditional names. Sierra Jade seems to match better, but I still don't like this combo as much as Elise Nicole. Bella is nice, though I prefer it as a nn for Isabella or Annabella. I don't like it at all with Haven as a middle name, though -- Bella Haven sounds like a subdivision or a retirement home to me, sorry!

Please don't take offense. You have some nice names on your list, I think I would just rearrange some of them and find different middle names.

Asher Ryan - very nice
Isaac Michael - very nice
Elijah Christopher - love it
Cannon Alexander - sounds nice, but I can't see Cannon going over well.

Sierra Jane is nice. I don't like Bella Haven (Is Haven a play off Heaven?). An old friend of mine named her daughter Heavenly Lacey Lowe. She now goes by Lacey...and is now 12. I think the mom regrets naming her Heavenly.

I like Isaac and Elijah. I don't care at all for the other 2 boy names.

As for girl names, I like Elise the best. Grace is pretty, but I'm tiring of hearing the name. I don't care for Bella or Sierra. Bella has always sounded super prissy to me, I've never liked it. Sierra always sounds like a mispronounciation of Sarah. I just can't get used to it.

Asher Ryan ~ I like Ryan but I don't care for Asher. It just seems like an old man's name to me, personally.

Isaac Michael ~ I like Isaac and Michael, just don't care for the two of them together.

Elijah Christopher ~ of course I love Christopher, but I prefer Elias over Elijah

Cannon Alexander ~ **This one is my favorite. I've never heard the name Cannon before, but I really really like it

Grace Marie ~ I think Grace is a timeless and beautiful name and it's nice to see it as a fn. Marie is a bit over-used but will never be trendy, to me.

Elise Nicole ~ nmsaa!

Bella Haven ~ I like Bella as a nn for something, don't care for Haven

Sierra Jane ~ This one is my favorite, although I'd prefer Jade to Jane as a mn

That's my input! :)

~ Liz, mom to Christopher and Nicholas

I like all of your girl names. I know a lot of people are using Grace now, so that might be a consideration. I really like Bella, but am undecided about Bella Haven. Jane is one of my favorite middle names - I like Jane for Bella or Sierra. Sierra is nms, but I could see why other people like it. It's very pretty. Elise is also lovely.

I'm not a huge fan of Isaac or Elijah. I don't dislike them, they just aren't my faves. Asher is nice. I have a friend who loves the name Cannon. I've never been able to warm up to it. Sorry! I like all of your middle names, except not crazy about Michael. Christopher and Alexander are the two all-time best middle names. They go so well with almost any name and sound best in their full form (rather than as a first name and then shortened to Chris or Alex). Unfortunately, neither are quite perfect for Asher, which is my fave among your choices. So I vote for Asher Ryan.

Good luck!

BOYS......

Asher Ryan - LOVE this name. Asher is cool, I also like Ashton Ryan or Ryan Ashton/Asher

Isaac Michael - nice name too, but Michael Isaac seems to flow better (if that matters at all to you...doesn't really make a difference in the long run though!)

Elijah Christopher - I like Elijah a lot, cut not crazy about christopher. Elijah Cannon is nice...

Cannon Alexander - different, I like Cannon but not as a first name. Alexander Cannon, Isaac Cannon and Elijah Cannon are all great alternatives if your looking for any.

GIRLS......

Grace Marie - nice name, very plain Jane though (again, only if it makes a difference to you)

Elise Nicole - great name, nicole elise is also nice

Bella Haven - I like Haven, but not crazy for Bella. Haven Elise is lovely, or even Elise Haven.

Sierra Jane - Sierra Jane is also really nice, but I do like the sounds of Sierra Jade myself!

To those who criticized Haven:

Haven means "safe place." I love this name, because bella is beautiful (no, it really means beautiful) and i thought "beautiful safe place" went nice together as far as meanings go. I thoght it would be nicej because my daughter could be a safe place to go when you're in need of one. So There!!! J/K!

Hi!

Out of your boys' list I really like Elijah Christopher the best. Sounds great together.

Second choice would be Isaac Michael.

For the girls my favorite is Sierra Jane, then a tie between Bella Haven and Elise Nicole. Grace is just too popular for my tastes.

Good Luck!
