Funny: Harper and Presley are both on my girls lists. Laine for the middle name.
For boy, I love Brody. I can't use it because of my last name (ryhmes)
For girl, I like Harper and Presley...obviously!
Boy:
Canon -- as in the principle or the weapon? Not my favorite
Lane -- like it a lot, but prefer for a mn
Brody -- great name
Girl:
Presley -- Elvis or Jaime? nms
Harper -- love it
Timber -- a tree has fallen

Very interesting names.
Boy:
Canon- This is a word name (cannon), and not really a word that I would want my name to be associated with. I think if you're going to use a word name, at least pick a word that has significance (ie. Grace, etc.) I don't like Canon at all. Maybe Kian/Cian "key-in" or Cain as an alternative.
Lane- I love this. I have never heard it as a first name, only as a mn, so it'd be interesting as a fn
Brody- nice, although a lot more common then your other picks, not sure if that bothers you.

Girl:
Presley- Okay, strong association with Elvis Presley, not sure if that bothers you though
Harper- love it, very strong
Timber- dislike it. I think of yelling "Timber!" when a tree is falling

HTH, let me know what you like and dislike.
-Nikki
Canon - Larry King's son is named this. I think it is cute.
Lane - Love this name!
Brody - a little trendy
Suggestions:
Declan
Griffin
Harrison
Spencer
Girl:
Presley - trendy
Harper -
Timber - nms - I think this name will cause teasing
Suggestions:
Iris
Teagan
Ivy
Canon - I like this, actually - either pronunciation is interesting, I think. A similar sound but different style would be "Canyon" - fits the whole nature name theme popular with boys lately.
Brody - nms
Lane - I love this name for a boy and a girl. It's classic, elegant, and decidedly unisex.
Harper - For the record, I love this name. I also think it has the potential to be a little trendy. Probably not overused, but still, I am hearing it a lot in discussions, if not on actual children. The second Capote movie probably will only increase that.
Presley - Cute - if you can tolerate all the Elvis impersonations. If you just like the sound I have a cousin who has a similar name (Chesley)- and she's met only one other.
Timber - I have to agree with previous posters on this one. If you and your husband and all extended family members are short and thin, great - if she's ever a "tall girl," god help her. If you just like the sound, what about Kimber?
You have such interesting choices! Let us know what you pick!!
A canon is a book or a weapon. Nickname: Can or Canny? Yikes. I know a Lane and Brody is very popular where I live. I've always liked Presley and Harper. Timber is a little extreme. My problem with Presley is that I always think of Elvis. And the problem with Harper is her nickname would be Harpie. Yikes!
I appreciate your opinion. We are going with Canon Matthew, Canon is actually a camera brand, but the DH loves it and I agree also. Hey if you think about it every name was strange at first to others but i think it sounds great. Cannon is actually a weapon...So i decided to spell it differently. We also want to get away from the Popular and Trendy names so that was our choice. Now just having trouble w/the girl names...
Thanks again!
