With Garrett, Sierra, and Leah:

Carina - Pretty - a bit too close to Sierra
Briella - prefer Brielle
Alora - NMS
Tessa - cute - nn Tess
Skylee - sounds made up
Avalee - sounds made up
Violet - My favorite

Boys:
Wyatt - I love love love this name!
Gavin - cute - a bit close to Garrett
Gabe - NMS
Nathan - a little too plain in comparison to the siblings
Dustin - OK

Have you thought about Audrey/Aubrey, Delaney, Amelia, Weston, Bennett

Good Luck!

Girls:
Carina ~ this is cute, its different but not too out there.
Briella ~ this is one of my favorite names, nn bri or ella?
Alora ~ nms
Tessa ~ this is another one of my favorite names, i think its adorable.
Skylee ~ i like it, but maybe a little too cutesy.
Avalee ~nms.
Violet ~ pretty, but not my fave.

Boys:
Wyatt ~ sounds like a country singer.
Gavin ~ this is a nice name
Gabe ~ nms
Nathan ~ like it, but its been done too many times i think
Dustin ~nms
Brody ~ LOVE IT.

I think that maybe briella would be too much with your youngest having the mn belle? I think that Tessa goes nicely with the other names.

Carina - This is pretty, very feminine sounding.
Briella- I'm not crazy about this name, I prefer Brielle. And I don't care for the nn Bri/Bree so I personally would avoid that possibility.
Alora -Ok, but not my favorite. I alternate between thinking it could be a cute name for a spunky kid or thinking it's an "old" name.
Tessa- This is another one that I think would have to depend on the child.
Skylee - Don't like it. I don't like Sky- names (Skye, Skylar, Skylee, etc)
Avalee - Depends on if you would pronounce the first A as a long or short sound. av-uh-lee IMO sounds better than A-vu-lee.
Violet- I like it, but not with your DD's names.

Boys:
Wyatt - I like it, matches Garrett's name well.
Gavin- Nice, Gavin has always been high on my list.
Gabe- I don't care for this name, but I can't put my finger on the reason why.
Nathan- A good solid name, Nathan Wyatt is a good combo IMO.
Dustin- Another one I just don't like. I don't like the Dust- part of it, and the name sounds dated to me.
Brody- This is a nice name, but I think there are some names that compliment your kid's names better.

I love the name Carina! Alora (lovely!) and Tessa are my other two faves from your girl list.


I like Gabe and Brody as nicknames and I love Nathan.


The best matches, IMO, are:


Garrett, Sierra, Leah, and Alora
Garrett, Sierra, Leah, and Gabe


GL!!

Alora is my dd's name so of course I vote that. I have only encountered two other Alora's, and dd is now 7. I get compliments on her name all the time.

I really like Alora for some reason - I don't know that I've ever heard it before.

Gavin is one of my favourite boys names right now.

Very nice!
