Girls: My favorites are Bellamy (love it!) and Saryn (I prefer Saren).

Boys: My favorites are Gannen (also like Gannon) and Doyle.

Tayla - Sounds like a country person w/ an accent trying to say Taylor. I'd stick with Taylor. It's much much prettier.
Myla - Pretty. I also like Mira (prn MEER-Uh)
Blakely - Reminds me of my old high school history teacher, Mr. Blakely. Not very feminine. I dont care for it at all.
Bellamy - Reminds me of the country singing duo, The Bellamy Brothers. Again, not feminine and I do not care for it.
Saryn - Too close to Saran Wrap. I prefer Sarah.
Sennett - Sounds like Senate. I dont care for it.

Love Myla from your girls list. The rest are not my style.

Dallin - I abhor the name Dale, so I cannot give you an unbiased opinion on a name that is a variation of Dale. Sorry.
Gannen - I like it, but prefer it spelled Gannon. Very strong and masculine!
Kalman - I dont care for it. If you're going for Coleman, then spell it as such. Or are you going for Cal-Man? If so, I dont like the sound. Sorry.
Kallan - I dont care for it.
Doyle - Too Popeye for me.

I like Gannon best from your boys list!

Saryn is pronounced like Taryn or Karen. Saran is pronounced 'suh-ran'. It is different. Dh doesn't like it, anyhow. We really like Sennett until we realized it was just like senate. It doesn't bother dh that it's like that, but it does me. If I wanted Colman/Coleman I would have listed that name. The name is Kalman, sounds like Calvin. I changed the spelling of Gannon because I thought people might mistaken it for the French name Ganon. I figured with Gannen I'd get the pronunciation I was seeking. I pronounce Dallin as Allen with a D on the front. :)

These names are nms. Kallan and Doyle are the only ones that I sort of like. Doyle more than Kallan.

Karen

I like Tayla, Myla, and Saryn for a girl.
I like Kallan best for a boy, but I'd prefer Kellan.
