Our Long List of Choices!

I'd like your advice on our list of baby names. We are due in March and we're keeping the gender a secret until the birth.

My children's names are Caelan Shane and Brynn Mari, so I'd like something to fit with their names. I was actually trying to find an "A" name I liked (C name, B name.. A name..)but having a hard time.

Anyway, here's our list:

Girls:

Tamryn

Taryn

Meadow (our last name is Frost.. too 'hippie'?)

Baylee

Morgan

Eve (I *love* this, dh not so fond of)

Caitriona (I'm Irish on dad's side)

Ciara (Kira, Keera)

Clare

Eleanor

Juliet

Kate

Molly

Maura

Neve

Riona

Sarah

and dh likes Winifred! (Winnie for short)

Boys:

Adam

Brendan

Kieran

Conall

Ewan (my brother's name)

Owen

Gabriel

Garrett

Jamie (other brother's name)

Kyle

Lochlan

William

Lucas

Luke

Malcolm

Michael (too popular..?)

Quinn

Ruadhain (Roo-an.. would it ever be pronounced correctly?)

Ryan

Or.. Patrick Wade, after mine and dh's fathers'..

Help me weed through my list!

Andi-

Sorry, I'm ditzy today. My mn (middle name) is Siobhan, pronounced Shih-vawn. My father told my mother that his children must have a fine, respectable Irish name. My mother put her foot down and said we'd have one, it just didn't have to be the first name. She let my father have the boys Ewan and James and she named the only daughter.
