My vote would go to Sebastian (I like the nn Bastian as well) and Genevie (this has always been on our list for girls ... surprised to see it show up on someone else's!). :) Most of the rest aren't really my style, although I do like Tallis. HTH!

For the boys, I like Sebastian and Theo. Have you considered Thaddeus? It seems like it would fit your style well, and I love it, especially with the nn Thad or Tad.

I'm not really wild about any of the girls names. I LOVE Geneveive, but Genevie looks like a nn or a misspelling to me. Selah is sort of growing on me.

Good luck!

Hi there. I like the idea of soft creative names too! Here are my thoughts on your lists-

BOYS:
FN:
Mercer-That's nms. It's different, but sounds rather harsh to me.

Sebastian-That's excellant.

Theo-Theo is kind of cute. I perfer it as a nn for Theodore, but it's nice & spunky either.

Orion-I adore this name. It's actually my ds' mn. I think it sounds pretty strong actually, but it's definitly unique w/out being made up.

GIRLS:
FN:
Genevie-Hm, what? Genevieve would be a lovely pick, but this just looks weird.

Mercer-That's not very feminine at all, sorry.

Selah-This isn't my favourite, but it's perfectly nice. I like Stella.

Tallis-That's intersting. Tally is a sweet nn. My best friends' dd was almost a Tally.

Hope this helps!

BOYS:
FN:
Mercer~ I like it, but I prefer Merrick which is along the same lines~
Sebastian~ I'm not a huge fan of this one, it is just lack luster to me
Theo~ Reminds me of the Cosby Kid, nms
Orion~ I really like this one as well. I think it is a strong name

GIRLS:
FN:
Genevie~ Genevive is a name I prefer
Mercer~ I like this name better for a girl
Selah~ I like the spelling Sela better
Tallis~I think I like it. It is different but not out of this world.
