Boy:
1. Callum Jacob- lovely choice
2. Flynn Jacob- like
3. Hayden Jacob- like
4. Luca Jacob- I dislike Luca and don't think it flows with Jacob. I love Lucas though.


Girl:
1. Sasha Jayne- I love Sascha but prefer this spelling.
2. Scarlett Jayne- love
3. Ava Jayne- love, but I would avoid having a second A name
4. Alexis Jayne- ditto, but it doesn't flow as well with Jayne as the others.

I don't think this will help much, as there seems to be no consensus whatsoever!

Anyway, my order is:

Boys
Callum
Luca
Hayden
Flynn

Girls
Ava (I wub.gif this)
Scarlett
Alexis
Sasha

I am a big fan of the first three names I have listed. Luca doesn't sound very masculine IMO.

Boys

Ava Jayne sounds lovely (we will probably be using the same mn spelt this way also!!!)
Alexis
Sasha
Scarlett (this name sounds harsh IMO)

Scarlett

BOYS

Callum
Flynn
Luca - I don't think it will be too long before this starts being used as a girls name
Hayden - I like the name but it has been tainted by all the Kayden, Jayden, Braydens around.



GIRLS

Alexis - I really like this, the nickname Lexi can be an issue with the whole Sexy Lexi business.
Ava
Scarlett
Sasha - I thik of this as a boys nick name.

1. Luca wub.gif - very stylish name
2. Flynn - love this with Ethan
3. Callum - Don't like Cal for a nn and the ending is too alike to Ethan
4. Hayden - really dislike this name, too soft sounding, sorry


1. Scarlett wub.gif - beautiful, beautiful name
2. Sasha - my second choice but actually thinks it sits better with your other daughters' names than Scarlett does
3. Ava - too popular
4. Alexis - another one I dislike, might be the Dynasty association! Sorry.

I wub.gif Callum, and think it goes best with Jacob. Order for the rest would be:
Hayden
Flynn
Luca - very popular now, and quite feminine as PPs have said.


Of your girl names, I only like Scarlett.
Ava is quite nice but she would be one of 5 in her class...and I don't like Sasha or Alexis.
