GIRLS:

-Hadley-- This is OK for me; I've seen it on a lot of lists but never IRL.

-Avery-- Pretty, but I know quite a few little Avery's.

-Merritt-- I really like it; you may also like Maren/ Marin.

BOYS:

-Declan-- I love it! A great choice.

-Cal-- Adorable nn, but I really dislike it as the given name. Callum and Calvin are both really nice.

-Donovan-- Okay, but I like Declan or one of the full Cal- names better.

I like Avery best from your girls' list; Hadley and Merritt sound like they may be surnames in your family, in which case I'd just use them as middle names.


From your boys' list, I adore Declan, and I like Donovan as well. Cal is best as a nickname; I like it as a shortened form for Calvin, Callum, etc.

We're leaning toward Avery - it's actually my mother's name!

I think that Avery is a wonderful name for a girl (my Avery is three) and of the three boys' names, I like Cal the best.

I like all of the names you're considering.

I like your girl's name choices but don't care for any of the boy's names.

Avery and Declan are great! Love those two! Second would be Merritt, pretty! Then Donovan, but wouldn't want it shortened for Don. GL!
