Need Ideas

My boyfriend and I have been trying to come up with names we both agree on. We don't want anything really common, but nothing too out there either. We had a miscarriage in June and before that, we had a few ideas, but now I am not really liking them much. Here's our ideas and what I need help with.

Boys: We really like that names Mason and Gage, however we don't want them together. I thikn we are pulling more towards Mason right now and saving Gage for a later date. What is a good middle name for Mason? Gray just popped in my mind, does Mason Gray sound ok? What are some other ideas? Or any middle name ideas for Gage?

Girls: I am completely stuck on this one! Back in June we had agreed on Shaylee Rae, but now I am not liking Shaylee. I think the reason is because none of our family members or friends liked it very much and now I don't either. However, we like they way it flows together, and because Rae is common in his family, we would like to keep it...any first name ideas?? A name that I have always loved for a girl is Ashleigh Mackenzie, but my boyfriend doesn't like it. Any ideas would be helpful!

Oh, in case your wondering, or if it would help with ideas, the last name is Cook.

Thanks in advance,
Becky

I like the name Mason alot and don't think it is too popular. I also like Grey, but I think together, people will think of the singer Macy Gray. I don't know how big she is (not my kind of music) but that is what I thought of.

I also like the name Mason and think it goes well with Cook (which is also my last name ;) ) I think Mason Ryan sounds cute it depends if you think a 1 syllable middle name sounds good or not. And I do think Mason Gage Sounds really good!

For girls, maybe your boyfriend would like Ashlyn instead of Ashlee? Ashlyn Rae has a nice ring. Just my $.02. Good Luck!!
