Back again!

Not sure if anybody remembers me, but I am back again for more suggestions. You guys helped me not too long ago come up with the name for my ds. Well, it seems to be that I am expecting again. I don't think we are going to find out this time, so I need boy and girl names. My current children are..

Ava Lillian
Gavin Robert

My basic criteria for a name is:

1. easy to pronounce
2. easy to spell (I'm a teacher!)
3. Not too popular, but not to weird if you KWIM

Middle names are after family members. For a girl, this baby would probably have the middle name of Charlotte, Violet, or Mae. A boy would probably be David for the middle name. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

My votes are Elizabeth and Thomas. Elizabeth has so many cute nns. I think Bess would be precious with an Ava.

A few suggestions to go with Ava and Gavin:

Since both contain a 'v' - maybe another name that contains a 'v' (though using Violet and David as middle names could be a bit too much 'v' sounds:

Olivia
Evelyn
Maeve
Victoria
Raven
Beverly

River
Levi
Travis
Trevor
Evan

Other names that I think go with Ava and Gavin:

Phoebe
Claire
Isabel
Jillian
Eden
Noelle
Sabrina
Kathleen
Jenna

Colin
Connor
Jeremy
Jonathan
Adam
Sean
Spencer
Craig
Brett

Thank you so much for such awesome suggestions. I can't believe I know actually have more boy names I like than girls! That never happens. Anyway, I forgot to mention that one syllable names are out because are last name is only one syllable and it sounds awkward. Here are some I really, really like so far....

Girls
Clara (this is actually dh's grandma's name!)
Jillian
Isabella
Elizabeth
I also really like Elsa right now (nn Ellie). I think it is cute with Ava

Boys
Evan
Owen
Noah
Christian
Alexander

Noah was actually what we were going to name Gavin until somebody here suggested it didn't have quite the same feel as Ava. I still really like it though. Thanks for all the help and any other suggestions!
