For girls I like Arietty , Luna and Matilda .
Boys, Own Gavin and Henry.
i would steer clear of Bentley IF others opinions effect you at all. As Bentley is on the list of "most hated baby names" I am afraid and I know of a few ppl who have use it, only to recieve constant negative comments even after the baby was born :(. That being said I know of a couple ppl who used it and this hasn't been their experience ( that I know of , we aren't that close). So I would just put that out there, I don't really have an strong feelings on itt one way or the other, just not a fave for me.

All the best with your TTC!!
My fave for the girls are - Sienna, Matilda, Lorelai and Isla - I think they are all pretty and feminine, yet maintaining some maturity about them to help them suit all ages - although, I think perhaps Matilda may not be so much of a teenagers name....but who knows, she could end up with a nn,
My fave for the boys are - Luke, Zane, Henry and Bentley - they are all fab and would match nicely with your other boys names - especially Bentley.

Arietty Juilet. Stands well with your spunky boy names.
Owen Bentley for a boy but they kind of fall flat next to brothers. Madden, Kiedis, Jhett, Deacon, Dieter, Harlowe, Caspian, Ewan, Anson...

Dang you go girl. I hadn't seen you on here in awhile I was wondering where you disappeared to. lol
I think my top three that go with your boys are
Girls: Arrietty, Juliet or Gwendolyn
Boys: Zane, Ryder or Luke
The ones I'm not a fan of are Jessica and Gavin. I would stay away from for first names.

Arrietty - Loving Arrietty! It's so cute, rather unusual, but not in an overly weird way.
Sienna - Not really my style...
Juliet - I adore Juliet, it's so pretty and classy, and I really love the Shakespeare connection, though I suppose that could be easy teasing. Regardless, I think it's beautiful.
Giselle - Ehh, not my style. Everytime I see/hear it, I think of a gazelle (type of antelope, easy prey for lions...)
Luna - It's really been growing on me lately, I think it's so sweet and beautiful. (Plus I'm a bit of a Harry Potter nerd, so that connection makes me love the name even more)
Matilda - I always think immediatly of the Roald Dahl book, which I think can be a good thing. I'm not really too fond of the name, though, it just sounds very old-fashioned to me. Pretty, and cute for a kid, or a grown woman, but I don't see it well on a teen...
Lorelai - Love!! It's so pretty.
Jessica - was popular for my generation, so I see it as a little weird for a baby nowadays.... I do really like it though, I really love the nickname Jessie.
Gwendolyn - Hmm, I really like the nickname Gwen, but I'm not as fond of the full name, it just seems...crowded. It's pretty, though.
Norah - Pretty and classy, I have a hard time seeing it on a child, but it seems like the names I see as outdated are becoming popular again, so perhaps it could work well.
Isla - Not my style at all, I've never really liked it...
Luke - I really like Luke, I think it's a great name. I'm a litle more in favor of Lucas with Luke as a nickname, but I definitely think it works fine alone...
Ian - I like it, I think it's very usable, and it's a great name.
Zane - Very handsome, love it!
Ryder - Not my favorite, but I think it's a good, strong name.
Henry - Love!! It's really been growing on my recently, it's so handsome.
Oliver - I really like Oliver, it's cute and very handsome.
Bentley - Don't really like it much, I just don't like the idea of a name including "bent." Easy teasing, and very harsh sounding...
Owen - I've started to like it a little more recently, but it's not really one of my favorites. Cute, and I think it would age well..
Gavin - Eh, not really my style. It always sounds very southern to me...
Hope that's helpful!

With your boys, I really love Arrietty, Luna, Matilda, Gwendolyn, Ian, Zane (ZANE! For some reason, it seems to fit so much better now that you have Jagger!), Henry, Owen, and Gavin. :)
I'm glad to see so many of your options for Jagger carried over to this new list--I love seeing Zane, Henry, and Gavin back! I think they fit in so well with your boys, although it'd be lovely to have a wee little lady for your boys to protect. :)

I'm sure you'd be happy with just a healthy baby, but I think it would be fun if you finally had a little girl this time!! Good luck :)
Girls:
Arrietty - I immediately connect this with the newly released film which I suppose isn't a bad thing since her character is good and I love Studio Ghibli films. It has a nice flair that most of the boys names have
Sienna - I think it fits with the boys well, but it's not my style
Juliet - I love Juliet! I think it works as a great first or middle name
Giselle - I'm not a fan of this name. For some reason it always makes me think of a "woman of the night" to use euphamistic terms. I love a lot of names that have -elle and -ette endings, typically
Luna - this is really cute!
Matilda - one of my favorites, for sure. I love Tilly as a nickname :)
Lorelai - also pretty, I think it will age well and fits well with your boys
Jessica - too dated for me, sorry :/
Gwendolyn - I like Genevieve better, but Gwen is a cute nickname. It might be too long and frilly to complement the boys though
Norah - I love Nora without the h as a nickname for Lenora (which could also produce Leni which is really cute too!)
Isla - Oh, I have definitely been loving this name recently!
Boys:
Luke - I like it, but a lot of your boys have less commonplace names
Ian - same as above
Zane - not really my style
Ryder - definitely not my style... He'd probably get teased endlessly as a teen
Henry - so cute! I would probably say the same things as I did with Luke and Ian though
Oliver - same as above! I love Henry and Oliver, they probably go well with Nicholas and Adrian. Schuyler, Chandler, and Jagger just seem so unique that the classic nature of Henry and Oliver almost seems stuffy, haha
Bentley - also really not my style
Owen - cute! I think it fits pretty well with the othe boys
Gavin - I know a Gavin which would deter me from the name, personally, but I think it fits well with the boys :)
My favorites for the girls are: Juliet, Luna, Matilda, Lorelai, Isla, and Lenora (if you're willing to entertain this option)
For boys I like Henry, Oliver, Owen, and Gavin the best!
