Need help with B/G Twin names

We're expecting B/G twins in April (Yeah). We've settled on a boy name: Kyle Thomas. We also have a Zachary Craig, Meghan Loraine and Jacob Scott. We can't seem to settle on a girl name. I would like her middle name to be "Lynn" or some inclusion of "lynn" in the name (after my mom).
We're drawing a total blank. I would like something that sounds complimentary to the other kids. Nothing too off the wall exotic, but yet, not so popular it is everywhere (when I named my kids their names, the "buzz" hadn't hit yet (e.g., Zachary was born in 1991, the name went crazy the next year).
Any ideas? I wasn't going to put options on here, because I didn't want to stiffle anyone. But, what about the following:
Aubrey
Chloe
Alexa
Kiera
Lauren
Emily
Jady
Does the girl name have to start with the same initial as the boy? I'm hearing different "rules" I hadn't considered before.
Thanks!

Thank you guys so much for the feedback. You definitely came back with some great ideas. I'm so ready to call her something other than "little lady". I'm writing my lists and knowing me, will not decide until I see her that first moment.
This time is so exciting and brain-wracking, too.
Aubrey-I love Aubrey I think it sounds lovely w/ the other names. Classic and not overly popular.
Chloe- ^^see Aubrey^^
Alexa-Its okay, its NMS
Kiera-Its not bad but again NMS
Lauren-Love it!
Emily-Emily is so popular its crazy. Pretty but popular
Jady-Uhm I've never heard this before but it could grow in me. I like Jade. But I've never meant a child w/ that name just cats so its hard to break the association.
As for the whole same letter thing I think its ignorant. There is no rule that says twins have to have the same first letter in the first name. Its really just a pain in the butt. Just because the are twins doesn't mean they have to have similar names.
I like just plain Lynn as a middle name(MN). Another option is Kailyn which is popular but since its a MN it doesn't really matter. I think Aubrey and Chloe sound best w/ Lynn. Lauren Lynn is to L heavy. Keira Lynn is okay not my fave. Jady Lynn is a bit of a tongue twister for me. The same goes for Emily Lynn.
HTH!
I completely can relate to your delimma... we are having B/G twins on the way... we aren't following any rules, we figured... what the heck.. it doesn't matter
I think that we have decided on Graeson Drew for the boy, and Faith Catherine for the girl.. b/c in the long run all you need in life is a little "FAITH" and "GRACE" and everything will work out fine....
I really love the name Aubrey... we considered it also...
In my opinion Lauren Lynn... would sound funny....
so maybe not an L name, but that's your call...
if you want to stay a little bit uncommon
what about
Aharon Lynn
anyway... it's getting late, I really need to try and get some sleep, but these two are just kickin away... Good Luck w/ your decision... and the remainder of your pregnacy...
Best Wishes,
Layla Adams
