Okay, I've taken a few out and Wow - I have such a long list of baby names still - But I love coming to this board for your input. There's not any that I'm like, YES that's the name! LOL!

I'm having my 4th and trying to not have a name that ends in the sound of an, en ln.
It's not a huge deal to me that the names are matching with my other children's - just a good name!

I have an Ashlynn MaKenna, Hunter Reese, and Kellan Troy

LN is Van-Treese

some ideas:
Sophie - love this
Georgia, mn Kate, Rose, Rae- has been a fav since my last child - my family says - eeh!
Tava - really like it b/c it's different, although not everyones style (either with a long A or short) - maybe leaning towards this one
Tessa - means 4th born
Shayla
Charlotte, nn Charlie or nn Charla

Evan
Everette, nn Rhett
Cooper - family name
Teague
Tobias, nn Toby
Teddy - one of my fav uncles who passed when I was young

What do you ladies think? Kimberly

With Ashlynn, Hunter, and Kellan

Sophie - pretty name, becoming slightly trendy in chicagoland area though
Georgia - i don't know why, but this name just doesn't jump out for me - maybe i need to see a little girl with the name to convince me that it can work on a kid
Tava - just ok for me - i like that it is different, but it is not my favorite from your list
Tessa - my absolute favorite from your list - love it with your kids, love the meaning behind it
Shayla - nms
Charlotte - my second favorite on your list - very sweet and classic

Evan - this names fits very well with your family and sounds cool with your last name
Everette - i love this as well - but i think i would drop the last e
Cooper - great name and great meaning
Teague - i really like this for you too (i am of little help in the boy department =)
Tobias - once again i really like this
Teddy - i love the meaning, but it is my least favorite name for you - could you use it as a middle name Everett Theordore, Cooper Theodore, Teague Theodore, Tobias Theodore?

Great list - Tessa is my favorite girl name for you - and I really like all your boys names.
Maybe start considering if you want any that start with the same sound (that would take cooper off), if with 3 kids that have 2 syllable names how you want their sibling to sound with it (teague is only 1, rhett is only 1). That may be silly reasoning (I know you said you don't care how it sound with siblings) - BUT with such a great list you have to narrow down somehow:)

Good Luck
Jaime

Thanks for your input - that's true, I hadn't thought about the 2 syllable part! DF really likes Tessa which was a surprise to me, b/c he's so darn picky. Tava - I like, but I gotta think about that one still.

As for the boys, it's just harder for me to wind down, I do like them all - but I think I will try to go with the 2 syllable.
