Cassidy, Sierra & Sabrina seem dated to me, to be honest, like the names of children born in the 90s or 00s. Though, I do think Sabrina is more classic, and therefore still usable.
Evelyn is nice and making a comeback.
Violet is my absolute favorite here.
I'm tired of Nathan. I'm not a huge fan of Harrison.
Jasper, Dominic, & Finn are all great though!

Congrats! From your list I love:
Sabrina - Reminds me of the Audrey Hepburn movie of the same name.
Evelyn - We had this name on our list when we were pregnant with DS #2, but DH's cousin used the exact combo we liked, Evelyn May, so it's off the list now!
Violet - So pretty.
Jasper - Obviously this is my fave! Has been my fave male name since I was about 15/16 years old, so that's why I used it for DS #1.
Dominic - Handsome name, I like it.
Sabrina - Reminds me of the Audrey Hepburn movie of the same name.
Evelyn - We had this name on our list when we were pregnant with DS #2, but DH's cousin used the exact combo we liked, Evelyn May, so it's off the list now!

Congrats.
Girls:
Cassidy - eh. I like the sound and look of Cassidy and it does seem feminine to me, but it also seems a little bit like a namedrop, and has that trendy surname style that just isn't my style. It's the same style as Brittany, Lindsey, Whitney, Beverly, Lesley, Kimberly, Kelsey, Kelly, Courtney, Shelby. I think they become dated quickly and in the process they usually lose most or all of their charm. Cassidy is partly redeemed by being able to hide its true nature behind the nicknames Cassie or Cass, appearing to represent Cassandra or Cassia.
Sabrina - is dignified, not too fashionable or unfashionable, even has a cute nickname Bree. Not a personal favorite but I think it's good.
Evelyn - I just don't personally like this. It leaves me cold. I have to invent reasons not to like it, because I know it's a fine name. Here I go: It looks like Carolyn/Marilyn/*lyn trend, sounds about age 60 and stodgy, has a falling glum sound said aloud ... yeah whatever, right? You like it. I think I just wouldn't want to be a girl named Evelyn in 2020. I'd rather see Ellen, Eve, or Madeline.
Sierra - I like Sierra. I think it has a sort of mediocre feeling, somewhere between Aubrey and Destiny ... but I still like it. It evokes the Sierra Nevada Mountains for me and sounds breezy but not trivial. I think I slightly prefer Sienna which is less dynamic but somehow tidier. Anyway, thumbs up on Sierra

Your girl's almost seem dated and your boys are okay.
Cassidy - I always want to say chasity. The movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid comes to mind right off.
Sabrina - It seems witchy but not necessarily in a bad way. Was my best friend's name in third grade. I don't like it. It's sound just doesn't appeal to me.
Evelyn - Love it. It's pretty and has a cute nickname.
Sierra - I prefer Sienna. Not a bad name.
Violet - Brings to mind violence and flowers. I still like it's sound though.
Harrison - It's sweet. I knew a Harrison my age (25), he was very well read but also sporty. Good association for me.
Nathan - Warm, friendly. Good name.
Jasper - Love it. It's handsome but still a bit old-fashioned.
Dominic - I always thought of Dominic as an angry name. No logic behind that. Well, maybe it's because of the domin- part of the name and it's similarity to the word dominate. Who knows? It still has a nice sound.
Finn - Very boyish name. It's fun, friendly, and short. It's a nice name.
