Our Top 5 FNs - WDYT??
DH and I have settled on our top 5 first names for each gender and I want to know what ya'll think! Middle names are still completely up in the air and might not be on this list. All these names are names we mutually agree on, if I was to use the list of names I like but he hates or vice versa it would be a very different list but it's pointless to pine over names the other will just veto. Of course by the time we actually get around to having a baby, our favorites could completely change but as of now, this it how it stands;
Boys
His:
1. Killian
2. Damien
3. Casper
4. Thorin
5. Loki
Mine:
1. Killian
2. Abram
3. Henrik
4. Silas
5. Thorin
Girls
His:
1. Audra
2. Adela
3. Alice
4. Ivy
5. Luna
Mine:
1. Audra
2. Adela
3. Luna
4. Elva
5. Gwen
So basically if we were to have a kid tomorrow, I'm 95% sure we'd have a Killian or an Audra, depending on if we felt the name suited the baby, so we won't be embroidering the name on anything.
What are your thoughts on our favorites? What about Killian and Audra as a sibset, does it work?
Oh and if you feel like it, please vote on my PNL. Link is down below. :) Thanks!

Killian - I just cant get past the Kill bit. I know, I know, but I just don't get why anybody would want to name there child a name with Kill on the name. Sorry
Damien - I think of the child out of the Omen, so not a fan
Casper - friendly ghost
Thorin - it's okay, but Thor would be quite a heavy name to carry
Loki - Not a fan sorry
Abram - I like Abram and I like Bram
Henrik - It's okay I just prefer Henry
Silas - It's okay, just not a favourite of mine
Audra - It's nice, but I think Audrey is better
Adela - prefer Adele
Alice - like it, but getting a bit bored of it
Ivy - love it
Luna - like it
Elva - cute, I really like it
Gwen - I like it actually, more than I realised I did. I think because I dislike Gwendolen I didn't realise that I like Gwen
Out of yours I'd go for Abram and Ivy
Damien - I think of the child out of the Omen, so not a fan
Casper - friendly ghost
Thorin - it's okay, but Thor would be quite a heavy name to carry

Abram - I like Abram and I like Bram

Overall, I quite like the names you've picked out. I have added Thorin to my long list, as well, I hope you don't mind ahah! I'm not very fond of Loki or Henrik, as I can't actually picture them on a boy or a man. Also I agree with a few others about the spelling of Killian, have you considered the alternate Cillian? Audra is gorgeous though and so are the rest of the names. Elva is something I haven't heard before, but I like it. :) Great picks :)
We both prefer the spelling Killian, that way he'll never mistakenly be called "sillian", and we're big Lord of The Rings/Hobbit fans so we fully intend to call him Kili. I don't understand the issue most people have with it having the word "kill" in it, yet they're fine if it's spelled with a "c" yet pronounced the same. Apparently the sound of "kill" in a name is more acceptable than the sight of it?
These are good names, I enjoy them. Killian and Audra are neat together - offbeat and fun. Cillian and Audra "go" together a bit more, but I do like the Killian spelling.
I really like how "spooky" your taste is. It's very satisfying for my inner goth :)

I love his boy name list best, Killian is definitely my favorite I adore it! And ALl the girl names are great, my favorites are Luna, Elva, and Gwen, I love that you have Elva on it!
I love Audra and am smiling at the idea of a new little one. I quite like Cillian and think the two names feel well together but, to be honest, the "K" spelling "kill"s it for me; just my personal reaction. My other favorites from your list are Casper, Abram, Silas and Damien for boys & Ivy, Gwen, Alice and Elva for girls.
Killian - I can't get over having the word "kill" in a kids name, so I dislike this one - sorry.
Damien - Nice enough
Casper - I like the sound, but the Friendly Ghost association makes it seem a bit childish and silly. I like Caspian better.
Thorin - Quite cool, I like it actually
Loki - too mythological and fantasy-sounding
Abram - I like this more than Abraham but there's still something about it I'm not keen on
Henrik - I like this
Silas - Too much like "silage", I dislike it
Audra - Not bad, although not my style as it's a bit oldfashioned. I prefer Audrey, but only slightly
Adela - Pretty, but I prefer Adele
Alice - Love it, pretty and feminine, not too common but well known
Ivy - Not my favourite flower name (too old fashioned)
Luna - Love it
Elva - I think Eva sounds tidier
Gwen - I like this a lot
Damien - Nice enough
Casper - I like the sound, but the Friendly Ghost association makes it seem a bit childish and silly. I like Caspian better.
Thorin - Quite cool, I like it actually
Loki - too mythological and fantasy-sounding
Abram - I like this more than Abraham but there's still something about it I'm not keen on
Henrik - I like this
Silas - Too much like "silage", I dislike it

Ivy - Not my favourite flower name (too old fashioned)

I like:
Killian (but I prefer it spelled Cillian)
Casper
Abram
Silas
Adela (so much better than Adele)
Elva
Killian (but I prefer it spelled Cillian)
Casper
Abram
Silas
Adela (so much better than Adele)

I LOVE Audra!
Yay!
You're making me wish I had used it, or had another daughter. Why did I not use it? I can't remember.
I think Killian is OK. I prefer Cillian (same prn but without the kill in it visually).
Otherwise I like Ivy, Gwen, Elva, Damien (prefer Damian), Casper (prefer Caspar), and Thorin.
Weirdly, I dislike most of the others as much as I like all those.
I think the sibset works. It's nice to agree on names isn't it!
I see Cyrus on your list - that's another one I really like. Ember is nice, too.

I like them all except Killian. It sounds like "killing" to me.
