OK my thoughts...

Boys:
Alexander "Sasha" - I have always thought of Sasha as a girl's name, even though in Russian it's indeed masculine. I think you could try to nickname Alexander Sasha, but kids and teaches will revert to Alex automatically. Sasha isn't going to happen!
Arthur - meh...I always think of the PBS cartoon when I hear that name.
Asher - coole, but maybe a bit trendy?
August - Nope
Callum - Nope
Caleb - OK
Calvin - Nope
Colin - Probably my favorite boy name EVER
Gabriel - classic, people are going to call him Gabe, just so you know :)
Garrett - Eh...maybe it's just because I haven't met a nice Garret, but it doesn't thrill me...
Graham - I always think of senator Lindesy Graham!
Henry - Another classic...I guess this depends on your last name. I'm not a fan because it seems sort of plain, but it's a matter of taste, really
Jeremiah - Ok, not crazy about it
Jonas - I think w/ the Jonas brothers this will be very, very trendy in about 10 years when the teeny boppers start cranking out kids
Levi - Ok
Louis - Ok
Max - I'd say Maxwell with Max as a nn
Miles - I dig it! Like Miles Davis
Morgan - I always see this as a girl's name
Nathaniel - AWESOME, I am considering this & Caleb if I have a boy!
Nicholas - Good
Oliver - Eh...depends on the last name. Could be great, or the kid could hate you for it
Sage - Another one that I think of as a girl...I would use it for a girl but def. not for a boy!
Samuel - Another classic name, I like it
Thomas - Kind of plain, but still ok

Girls:

Adah - Nope
Anna - Ok
Audrey - Little trendy, I think
Catherine "Cate" or "Cat" - I like Cat...some of my favorite people are named Cat!
Charlotte "Charlie"? - I love Charlotte, but not necessarily Charlie
Cecily - Nope
Eleanor - Nope
Elizabeth "Lizzie" or "Ellie" or "Beth"? - Great, great name
Eve "Evie" - Like in V for Vendetta?
Felicity - Nah.
Imogen - Like Imogen Heap? I think a little girl probably wouldn't like this one!
Ivy - <3
Jane "Janie" - sort of plain
Juliet - I'd say Julia instead, I've never like Juliet
Kasia - how is this pronounced?
Lauren - I'm partial to this one :-D As a Lauren myself, I've never had any troubles with it, and it's not so common that I'm always around six other Laurens
Lavender - nah...I'd say Laurel maybe if you're going for a flower name
Leah - kind of a plain name, again
Linden - really uncommon, but I like it a lot
Louisa - Another one of those old fashioned names, I don't meet a lot of Louisas so if you're looking for something unique but still 'normal' this is a good one
Lydia - A little catty-sounding, like Cruella DeVille or something haha - but that's just my gut reaction and probably unfair!
Madeline - I LOVE IT!
Margaret "Meg" - or Megan
May - So, so pretty!
Mia - cool. I knew a girl named Mia (pronounced it Meeyah) and she was awesome.
Susannah - Nah...
Tamsin - Also a nope
