I LOVE your boys list!!! Here are my favorites:

BOYS:

Ronan

Jean Paul nn J.P

William

Sebastian

August- Handsome and nn Gus is adorable.

Hugo- I love this!

Beckett nn Beck

Hudson

Francois nn Frankie- Love it if you're French.

Frederick nn Freddie- This is so handsome and uncommon!

GIRLS:

Cora- This name is gorgeous and simple. I love it! What about Corinne, nn Cora?

Lauren- Pretty,but becoming a bit plain to me.

Audrey- Very pretty and classic.

Anastasia nn Sasha- LOVE THIS! Anastasia is beautiful and nn Sasha is spunky. I also think it goes the best w/ your boys names.

Mila- Pretty.

**Overall, I think you're going more uncommon with your boys and more trendy/ common w/ the girls. What about Helena, Jocelyn, Lena, Eleanor nn Nora, Nadia, Anya?

WDYT of this sib set?

Rowan, Sasha (Anastasia), J.P (Jean Paul) and Savannah?

I'm not loving it b/c there seem to be so many different styles. Rowan and Sasha are both unisex, Savannah is trendy and girly and Jean Paul is SO traditional!

What about:
Frederick, John Paul, Cora, and Anastasia?

Hi!


Here are my thoughts:


BOYS:


Rowan- Love this... on a girl. But, it works on a boy too. Good name. I like it.


Ronan- Growing on me. So, I don't hate it, I just don't love it.


Jean Paul nn J.P- Hate this one, though. Jean is odd. Is it supposed to be John? I don't like this.


William- Good. I love the nn Will. And when he is older Bill.


Sebastian- Cute. This one is growing on me more and more lately. I don't know why?


Hunter- Awww... I LOVE Hunter. So cute. It's very different than the other names that you have posted above.


Cooper- I also LOVE Cooper. Cooper and Hunter would be great for sibs, that was off topic!


August- Cute. I also like it on a girl.


Greyson- Very nice. Very popular. I love Grey.


Grayer- No. I don't like this. I like Greyson.


Hugo- LOVE Hugo. It's so funky and cute. I know sibling brothers-- Hugo and Gideon. How cute is that?


Lorenzo- HATE Lorenzo. But, I hate all Hispanic names, not to be rude, I just don't like many.


Marcel- No.


Beckett nn Beck- Cute. Very cute. I love Beck.


Hudson- Good.


Wyatt- Cute. I like this one.


Logan- Eh, nms.


Grady-Nmsaa.


Francois nn Frankie- No.


Frederick nn Freddie - No.


James- Nmsaa.

BOYS:
Rowan: I like it. I think it's striking and manly.
Ronan: I prefer Rowan.
Jean Paul nn J.P: If you've got French or otherwise appropriate roots...otherwise, it feel like an affectation.
William: Plainer than most of what you have...but it's a classic for good reason.
Sebastian: Very handsome.
Hunter: This name always seems to lack substance to me.
Cooper: Okay, but a bit like Hunter.
August: It's not a fave, but it does stand out against the trends.
Greyson: It's okay, but I prefer simply "Grey."
Grayer: This was the neglected little boy in "the Nanny Diaries," wasn't it? It rings hollow because of that.
Hugo: I prefer just Hugh, unless Hugo suits your heritage.
Lorenzo: It would take the right kid to wear this.
Marcel: All I can think of is the marcel wave that women in the 20s did to their hair.
Beckett nn Beck: Very handsome.
Hudson: Very handsome.
Wyatt: A skosh trendy, but appealing.
Logan: Quite common, but appealing.
Grady: This would just seem overly cute unless it were on the right person.
Francois nn Frankie: I like it, but I wouldn't go there unless you have some French roots.
Frederick nn Freddie: I really like this.
James: It's like William...extremely popular, but classic for a good reason. (It's a handsome name.)

GIRLS:
Savannah: It's okay, it doesn't thrill me.
Sasha: I always think of this as a Russian nn for Alexander, so I'm never sure.
Avery: This one has kind of gotten tired through overuse in recent years.
Cora: Lovely.
Lauren: Not as interesting as some of your others.
Audrey: Pretty, picking up in usage.
Isabelle/Isabel: A lovely classic that is unfortunately sounding trendy these years because it's been so heavily used.
Chloe: It's pretty and spunky; I always wonder how it will age.
Sophia: This is about like Isabelle for me.
Zoe: And this is about like Chloe for me.
Alexandria nn Sasha: I'm a bit tired of all the little "Alex"s running around, but I like this idea.
Anastasia nn Sasha: I don't think this works quite as well...I'd prefer Anya as a nn for Anastasia.
Mila: I like it.

Sasha for Anastasia? That's too much of a stretch for me. Also, this is just a personal thing, but if English is your main language - the English-speaking pronunciation of Anastasia (ann-uh-STAY-zha) sounds really unpleasant to my ear. I love the Russian pronunciation, but in English no one would use it. Sasha for Alexandra makes sense to me, though.

From your girls' names, I really like Audrey, Cora and Mila!
