For boys, I like Asher the best. I don't like Cannon at all (unless it has some significant meaning for you) because it seems like kind of a violent name. Why would you want to name your baby after a type of weapon?

Your girl name are hard to choose. I like Grace the best, but I agree with previous posters that Grace Marie sounds really plain. Why not Grace Elizabeth or Grace Nicole? Bella is pretty as a given name or a nn (for Isabella, Annabella, Mirabella or Arabella), but Bella Haven seems kind of out there. Elise Nicole is pretty but it doesn't have much substance...I don't know if that makes sense to you. I think Sierra and Haven are both pretty, but for some reason I don't like either as actual names.

Hi! Most of your girls' names are really pretty, but some of them would match up better with other names. I understand why you wanted to put Bella and Haven together. I don't think anyone meant to offend you, but that combination really does sound like a condo development or nursing home. My dad owns Havenwood Realty, and there's a town called Belle Haven, Virginia (along with Belle Haven Elementary School, Belle Haven Country Club, etc.). I love the name Bella as a given name, and not necessarily as a nickname, but I really think you would be better off pairing it or Haven with other names--Bella Grace, Bella Nicole, etc. And Sierra Jane sounds a little like a wild west gal from the Sierra Nevada mountains. I'd prefer Sierra Nicole or Sierra Grace.

I really like the boys' names, but I would reserve Cannon for a mn. If he turned out to be a slow or heavy kid, I worry about other kids calling him Cannonball and things like that.

I like Isaac and Bella. I wanted Bella for a name but my BF didn't really like it. Isn't picking out a name hard!?! Best of luck to you ;)

you do what your heart tells you bethanne770 they are all wonderful names. As far as Bella sounding like a nickname I don't think so at all. My BF and I have Lexi picked out for a girl name and people are telling me to name her Alexa, Alexandria or Alexis but we really don't care for those names and fell in love with the name Lexi. I think Bella is very pretty!

Best of luck!!!
