Girls:

Eilah - I think I could really like this, depending on the pronunciation
Anneliese - classic, feminine
Cassia - something about this that doesn't quite win me over, but I don't know what lol
Kacie - too unisex, I like the femininity of a few of your other names better
Amelia - LOVE this name! It's on our list now, but don't know if it's too many Ms for us to use with ln McCormick
Hannah - Actually like this, but not as much as some others

Boys:

Samuel - classic, Biblical, like the nn Sam
Owen - love it
Tobias - not really my style
Nicholas - classic, not uncommon, prefer Samuel or Owen

HTH! :)

Hi there. Yes, time to narrow down that list! I think it's always not a bad idea to narrow it down to 2-4 & take all of those names to the hospital. That way, you can choose which works best on the baby. Here are my thoughts on the names-

Eilah-Is this said like eye-luh? If so, I love the sound. However, the correct spelling of the Scottish name said like that is spelled Isla. That will confuse people, yes, but at lesat it's the correct spelling. Great name.

Anneliese-This is nice. I like just Annelise, but either works. It's one of those names which is reconizable, but not overly common. Good choice.

Cassia-Are you saying this to rhyme w/Asia or like Cas-ee-uh. I like the latter more. I think most people will say it like that anyway. Cassie is nms, but Cassia is pretty.

Kacie-I really don't care for this one. Kacie is a made-up & overly cutsey spelling, imo. Casey is the right way to spell it, but it's a boy name to me.

Amelia-I love this one. It's classic & works well on any age. Mia is also a fabulous nn.

Hannah-Sweet. It's rather popular, but not in a trendy way. I like this one a lot.

I'd bring Amelia, Hannah, Anneliese, & maybe Isla if you can get on board w/that spelling to the hospital.

Boys:

Samuel-This isn't bad. It seems like there are a lot of Sams running around, but Sam is really cute. Samuel isn't my favourite, but the nn is.

Owen-That's nice. It's sort of popular, but not that bad. It's a strong & handsome name that works well on a little boy too.

Tobias-Aw, this is great. It may be my favourite. Toby is a cute nn too, but just Tobias is different & handsome.

Nicholas-I like this, but there are a lot of these running around. That & the potential nn of Nick is nmsaa.

Owen & Tobias are definitly the top picks here, imo. Hope this helps!

Hannah or Amelia for a girl.

I like all the boy names that you have except Tobias.
