What do you think of these names?

We are having a hard time coming up with names. We aren't finding out the gender so we are picking a boy and a girl's name. Right now, I am thinking of Elliott Connor (not sure of the spelling of either) if it is a boy and Grace Joanna if it is a girl. I know Grace is overused right now, but I have loved this name for a while.
Any thoughts or opinions?
TIA
P.S. Forgot to say, the other boy name I'm thinking of is Elijah.

I like both Elijah and Elliott, but Elliott a bit more. It just seems a stronger name to me, but I really like both and the nn Eli works with both as well.

Gace is very overused as a mn IMO, but I don't hear it all that often as a fn, if you love it then you should use it. Good luck!

if it doesn't bother you that both boys names start with E then i do really like elliot. i like conner too. girls...i love grace and wouldn't worry about it being too common. it's kinda-sorta common, but very beautiful. think joanna sounds good with that too. best wishes!

I am not too crazy about Elliot...it reminds me of an elephant ( I don't mean to be mean, just being honest) I like Elija or Isaiah. Another name that I would like to name my boy, and I haven't heard it very often, is Kanaan. I like Grace too, it is delicate. I also like the names Renee, Charlize (like the movie star) Valerie, or Paige.
Good luck and congradulations!!

I really like Elijah and Grace Joanna. I think Joanna is pretty classic and underused.
