We need some help!!

Hello! I'm new and excited to be here. A little background on us:

My husband and I are currently trying to concieve. We've been going to a fertility doctor for a few months now and we have high hopes! We're not picky about the gender; though my husband would really like at least one daughter. Since I've been taking hormones to help promote ovulation, there is a slight chance of multiples, so that's something to consider when thinking of potential names. We're also a "mixed" couple; he's Chinese/Malasian and I'm Polish/Swedish, so we have many options for inspirations; we also have close ties to Hawaiian, Irish, and Middle Eastern cultures. Our last name is Tong, which limits what names we can use.... there are lots of names that just sound awful with Tong!

We know what names we like, but we're stuck on how to mix and match them to sound nice. Would you care to give us a little assistance?

Girl names!

Top of the list:
Amira
Carmen
Kaiya
Carolyn (family)
Kira/Keira
Linnea
Jenna
Laurel
Kaida

Other ones we like:
Maura
Samira
Aislin
Brenna
Kamea
Lynn
Malia
Samara

Boy's names!

On the top of our list (I've had Tyme approve them, too)
Rowan
Conner
Xavier
Merrick
Darius
Bain or Bane (Tyme's favorite :) )

We also like:
Drew
Oak
Damien
Garret
Logan (family)
Li -means strength in Chinese
Shen -means deep thinking in Chinese
Addison
Ash
Forrest (family)
Gray
Keahi
Coran
Gareth

Regarding popular names...
No, I don't care if it's popular or not. We're not specifically looking for weird names or ones that no one else is using. I just don't want our kid to be in a class where he or she is one of four Aidens or Emilys.

I'm probably jinxing us, but I don't care. I'm trying to stay positive. :)

so last night I spent the night at my sisters and forgot to take the list of boy names you guys gave me. But we talked about girl names and she realyl doesn't care if their popalur. The last name is either going to be Kazzimir or Johnson, we're hoping Kazzimir. As the auntie, I wanna be involved naming the kid. My sister knows this.

The names are:
Alyssa/Alissa
Analiese
Ashley - She's madly in love with this name
Natalie - She loves this name as well. It was my suggestion! ^_^
Riley
Jessika - She doesn't want the tradition Jessica spelling and likes the K, as do I.
Hannah
Emily - Although it's quite popular now, she still likes it.

No boy names yet :( but thats okay. We found out today she's 7w1d pregnant. I saw the baby's heartbeat and almost cried.

anywho this is all so exciting!

Edit @ 7:46 AM on 1.12.06: Thanks for all your help! I really appreicate it. I'll tell my sister what the thoughts are on the names :)

Do John and Anne sound too similar to be sibling-names? (Both one syllable and with the terminal "n" sound?) They are my favorites for a boy and girl, but I'm afraid they sound too much alike. I'd probably call the boy "Jack" or Johnny and the girl just plain "Anne." What do you guys think? Anne is a dead set, so if John is out I have to think of a new name!
