I think that Lily Marie flows better, although I think Grace is a prettier name. If Marie has any connection with family, I would DEFNITELY go with it.

I prefer Lily Grace for a girl and Derek James over Bailey.

Lily Grace or Lily Marie are very nice. I like Lily Grace the best. I would advise against using Nevaeh. It's very trendy (and another word I wont say here) and isn't the opposite of Heaven something we'd rather not name our child?

All of your boy names are great!

I'm not a Lily fan - on top of that Grace and Marie are much too common of middle names

I like Nevaeh, why not go for broke and use it as a first name - since it's so new, there are very very few of them around.

boys, Bailey is much too unisex -there are way too many girls named Bailey

Derek is a great name - it's in my top 3.

but I'd like Derek Michael better than Derek James, just because I'm also not a James fan, unless that's for a family member, then OK, it sounds fine.

good luck

for girls I think Lily Grace is perfect!

I'm not sure which I like best as a boy's name. Bailey is cute, but I will warn that it's very popular as a girl's name right now. I think it's cute on either gender, but if it bothers you that your little boy Bailey will be running into more girl Bailey's than boy Bailey's, then I would say stay away from this name, and go with Derek James. If it doesn't bother you, than Bailey is a great choice. I think Bailey Michael flows much better than Bailey James.

I like both but think I like Lily Marie a bit more. I like Bailey but think there are a lot of little girls named Bailey. If you don't mind that then I think Bailey James is nice.

I like Lily Marie & Bailey Michael. I wanted to name my son Bailey in the worst way, Dh didn't really like it though. I think it's a great name, reminds me of Party of Five. Good luck.
