My thoughts:

Boys:

Austin - Don't like it, reminds me of cars.
Blake - Hmmm, I don't really like this one either. Can't put my finger on why not.
Cole* - It's ok.
Carter* - It sounds like something I'd name my dog.
Caleb* - I quite like this one, I like Jacob too.
Connor - I prefer it to Carter.
Noah - Like it.
Nolan* - I realise this is one of your top fives but I really dislike it.
Tyler - It's ok but not my style.
William* - A classic, I like it as a middle name (eg, Noah William, Caleb William) more than as a first name though.

Girls: (a bit longer than the boys)

Anna - I love it!
Addison (Addy)* - Looks like it's missing an "M" (and I don't like Maddison either).
Caroline - It's ok, pretty bland though. I know a Polish girl who is called Karolina (pronounced Karo-leena) and I much prefer it.
Ella* - It's nice.
Eleanore (nn: Ellie or Nora) - I like this one. I'd spell it Elanor because I'm a LOTR freak ;)
Ellen (nn: Elle) - I prefer Elle or Ellie to Ellen.
Evelyn (nn: Evie) - I prefer just Evie, Eva or Ava.
Felicity * - I don't like this one, it sounds very old fashioned.
Kathleen - I hate Kathleen, I much prefer Katherine.
Lara - Quite pretty, makes me think of Tomb Raider!
Lydia - Love it.
Madeleine - Love it.
Nora* - It's ok.
Olivia - Not bad.
Wendy - An old woman's name. Really dislike it!
