I Need Your Opinion!

Sorry if you're reading this twice. I think I posted in the wrong place the first time:

Hello, I'm new. I just found out on Sunday that I am 2 months pregnant. I think I am going to learn the sex of the baby as soon as I can.

I have been obsessed with baby names since I was little and have a few. I would value your input:

Caroline
Adeline or Adelyn (Addie)
Michaela
Stella/Estella (I always call my bf "my star", and that's what it means)
Amelia
Charlotte
Leah
Mira (would like to use as a middle name)

Declan (my favorite, by far, but baby's last name will not go)
Aaron
Michael (way too common, but I like it. No Mike though or Mikey)
Jack

First off, congratulations on your great news! :o) If you don't mind, I'd like to give you my opinion on your names....

Caroline - I think this is a lovely name, though I prefer Carolina (Care-oh-lee-nuh)
Adeline or Adelyn (Addie) - Beautiful :o) Love the nn also
Michaela - this is my sister in law's name, though she spells it Mikayla, which I prefer
Stella/Estella (I always call my bf "my star", and that's what it means) - my sister's name and even so, I don't really care for it too much
Amelia - ehh...reminds me too much of Amelia Bedelia
Charlotte - I like it, it's a classic
Leah - pronounced Lee or Lee-uh? Lee-uh is the pronunciation I like, also an old friend's mn
Mira (would like to use as a middle name) - very nice

Declan (my favorite, by far, but baby's last name will not go) - not very fond of this one...just not my style, I suppose
Aaron - also a very common name, but I do like it
Michael (way too common, but I like it. No Mike though or Mikey) - a common classic
Jack - nice name, but what do you think about Jackson?

Just some of MY thoughts...wish you all the best!

My thoughts:

Caroline - beautiful classic name
Adeline or Adelyn - prefer Adeline, very cute
Michaela - NMS any spelling, I know this is the traditional one but it always trips me up and I think Mikayla is just yucky
Stella/Estella - LOVE Stella, love it! Estella, not so much, reminds me of Estelle and that seems too old ladish to me
Amelia - beautiful, love it w/ the nn Mia
Charlotte - very nice
Leah - one of my favorites, nice choice
Mira - okay

Declan - I like this enough
Aaron - decent name, very safe
Michael - I really like Michael, but like you I don't like Mike. Tough to avoid though
Jack - very nice, although overwhelmingly popular lately
