Carina-Beautiful and sounds great with Garrett, Sierra and Leah!
Briella-Nice but I strongly prefer Brielle.
Alora-Very interesting, goes nicely with your childrens names.
Tessa-Such a sweet name, however, I dislike it with your kids names.
Skylee-Dislike, sounds too made up and nicknamey for my liking.
Avalee-Could be a cute nickname for Avalon but as a full name it's NMSAA.
Violet-Adore! Sounds wonderful with Garrett, Sierra and Leah as well.

Wyatt-Very handsome, goes quite well with Garrett, Sierra and Leah.
Gavin-Great name but it's way too close to Garett.
Gabe-Dislike.
Nathan-Like, sounds perfect with your kids names.
Dustin-Dislike because it sounds dated.
Brody-Very cute but seems too nicknamey with Garrett, Sierra and Leah.

I really like your girls' names, all except for Skylee and Avalee. The others are lovely, feminine, but not frilly or cutesy. Skylee seems super-cutesy to me (but maybe a cute nickname for Skye or Skylar), and Avalee seems smashed together. Ava Lee would be an OK double name, though, in my opinion.

I *love* all of your boys' names except Dustin, but Dustin is OK.

To go with Garrett Ethan, Sierra Mae, and Leah Belle ...


Girls:


Carina - very pretty; will grow up well; works great with sibs unless you plan to use Carrie as a nn (then it's too similar to Garrett IMO)


Briella - I prefer Brielle or Gabriella; Briella sounds a little witchy to me, like Cruella but maybe that's just me


Alora - I love this name; so pretty & so underused; same ending as Sierra but not matchy

Tessa - nice but I think Carina & Alora grow up better


Skylee - the "lee" is too close to Leah, IMO; Skyler would be a nice alternative though


Avalee - ditto about the "lee," also Ava is a top 10 name now so I like your other choices much better


Violet - nice fit with the sibs


Boys:


Wyatt - same ending as Garrett but not too matchy; I like this name a lot


Gavin - I generally don't like sibs' names to start with the same initial when you have other great choices


Gabe - ditto; if you decide to go with it, I think Gabriel will be a better fit with the sibs & you can still call him Gabe


Nathan - nice but I know so many Nathans


Dustin - love this name; cute on a boy & grows up well; nice fit with sibs


Brody - not crazy about this name because it feels a little trendy to me, along with all the Bradens and Bradys

From your lists I like Carina, Tessa, and Violet best for girls. All your boys' names are nice, but Wyatt seems a little too matchy with brother Garrett, and Gabe is too nicknamey. I would use Gabriel.

Here are my thoughts:


Girls:
Carina - Beautiful!
Briella - nms - seems trendy - probably because it's close to Brianna and Ella.
Alora - I like this but it could get confused with Laura
Tessa - Love it - sounds great with your children's names
Skylee

Hi there. Here are my thoughts:

Girls:
Carina - I think this is my top choice-Good! It's beautiful, & fits in rather nicely.

Briella-That's okay. It seems incomplete though.

Alora-I like it okay, but I really love Elora.

Tessa-Pretty, & this fits in rather well too.

Skylee-No no no. That seems made-up. I like Skye.

Avalee -Also, made-up. Ava on its own is way too popular these days though.

Violet-Aw, I love it.

Boys:
Wyatt - I think this is my top choice-Perfect perfect.

Gavin-I love it assuming that you don't mind repeating initials.

Gabe-I like Gabe, but prefer it as a nn for Gabriel.

Nathan-I really like this. It fits in well.

Dustin-Cute, & not heard too often these days.

Brody-I like this. It doesn't seem to be a perfect match w/your kids' names, but it's not bad.

Hope this helps!

Girls:
Carina - I love Carina is was on my list a long time ago, but I still really like it, it isn't too popular which is a plus.

Briella - I am not fond of any ella names or names that can have the nn ellie because they are so popular

Alora - LOVE Alora, I considred Elora (this spelling) to be after my Grandmother Eleanor, but we chose Violet as our DD's middle name to honor her because Violet is her middle name. I still love Alora though, and I have also seen it spelled Allorah.

Tessa - just nms

Skylee - I don't like this, it sounds too cutsie

Avalee - kinda cute, I am not a fan of Ava and its popularity though

Violet - LOVE this it is DD's middle name as I said above after my Grandmother. I really like it as a first name to.

Boys:
Wyatt - nms, although a lot of people do like it, it just won't grow on me

Gavin - this is just ok, nice but nothing special

Gabe - only as a nn for Gabriel

Nathan - This is my favorite from your boys list, but it is my DH's name so I am biased. I just think it is so cute for little boy, but it also grows well for a man.

Dustin - this is kind of dated to me, I much prefer Austin for the same kind of sound

Brody - I like this

With your other children my fav.'s for you are:

Carina and Alora

Nathan and Brody

Good luck!
