Interesting list. There are some names on the boys' list that I think of as girls' names, even though I know they're unisex or maybe even started as boys' names - Laken, Martel, and Lark. I don't really love or hate any of the boys' names.

On the girls' list, there are several that I really dislike:

Emmerson - trendy name with a creative spelling, nmsaa
Evian - sure, name your DD after bottled water; poor kid
Ellie - so popular now & it's a nn instead of a full name
Giada - is this a real name or a creative spelling or cross between Gianna and Jade?
Channahan - if it's a family surname, okay; otherwise ick
Angeleeza - ick on the spelling; mom loves Angelina & Condoleeza?

Emma, MacKenna, & Madison are fine names but I'm soooo tired of them right now

I kind of like Harvest. It's not one I would use but it's an interesting use of a nature name.
