Great selection for Boys names, Sorry but I like all of them. Asher is really cool.

I like number 2. We just decided on Noelle for the middle name as well. Our second daughter will be Erika Noelle. Erika is after my late brother Eric.

Good Luck

Lucy and Cannon are nms but all the others are great names! Decide who you want to honor and use that one.

You chose some great names. I would like to see more boys named Asher and more girls named Annelise, so those are my votes! The mn's work just fine.

This is a fabulous list of names. I am such a proponent of a mix of family names and names you just like.

Believe it or not, my father is Michael and my dh is Christopher, so the middle names you're considering are quite familiar to the list I used for my own kids!

Asher Ryan is perfect for a child and an adult. I love Asher. Unfortunately since I love many of your combos, I can't pick just one. I also love the name Isaac. And to me, Michael is the ultimate mn for a son. I just love it, love it, love it. I also like the combo Isaac Cannon. I actually know two boys named Cannon. One is for his mother's maiden name, the other is Kannon and his parents just liked it. Great name. However, I don't like Cannon Nicolas b/c all the n's run into each other.

Asher Nicolas? Elijah Nicolas? Elijah Christopher also doesn't flow quite as well as Asher Ryan or Isaac Michael. Elijah Michael? Christopher Isaac? I love Michah from Michael as well.

I strongly considered Asher Michael, with my second child. Instead, I had a dd and still was determined to name her after my father. Her middle name is Michae (pro. Mc-Kay).

Your girls' list- Annelise is my favorite name on the list. I carried it through both of my pg's. Couldn't it also be for your friend Elise? Grace Noelle is a gorgeous combo, but Grace, having been used so much where I live, now lacks the luster of a name like Annelise, IMO. Personally, I like Annelise Nicole, since Annelise and Marie both have the long e- sound. Also, Nicole would also be for your b-i-l Nicolas, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she would be named for four people with Annelise Nicole!

One other thing you might consider---I'm named for my grandfather and my daughter is named for my father. It creates a really unique bond when a girl is named for a special male. You have the potential to do this with your dd's mn too---your father Michael- Michelle, Michae, Michaela, Leah ---your dh Christopher- Christine, Christina, Kristen

b-i-l Nicolas- Nicole & brother Ryan- Rhianna, Rhiannon, Rhianne

Bottom line...This is one of the best lists I've seen. You can hardly go wrong! Please keep us posted. Sincerely, Ginger
