I like Annelise and Annelie, but agree with PP that you should spell then with an E rather than an A, to prevent seeing anal in the name. I also pronounce both of these names like "ah-nah", so the anal-ease problem doesn't bother me. I don't really like any of the others.
For the boys I like Xavier and Asher, the others are NMS.
Mama to sunshine baby "J" 5.13.11 and angel baby "E" born still on 2.11.14
I'm partial to Holly, we chose it b/c it is a beautiful name and no longer popular in the US or Canada (still is in England and Australia). I also really like Asher and Xavier.
Re: Help (again)
Seriously, like many people mentioned last time---you NEED to change the spelling of Annelie and Aneliese so that they don't look like "anal" anymore.
I really like Holly best from your girls' list. Jaycee is just strange to me---both in spelling and sound. It doesn't look like a real name.
From your boys' list, I like Xavier, Augustus, and Asher. Gunner, Knox and Phoenix are kind of...lame.
Annalise - Anal- ease. Also no.
Jaycee - too cutesy for me
Holly- fine
Boy-
Xavier - fine
Gunner - don't like weapon names
Augustus - Like this!
Knox - trendy
Phoenix - nms
Asher - like this!
Girl-
Annalee- eh
Annalise- like
Jaycee- ugly
Holly- like
Boy-
Xavier
Gunner
Augustus
Knox
Phoenix
All of he above are good names for a german shephard
Asher- sounds hollywood trendy
Girls: The only one I like is Annalise. Jaycee is my least favorite.
Boys: I'm biased to Xavier because that's our DS's name. Not crazy about the others. Asher would be my second favorite. Gunner is my least fave.

Like I said before, Annalee sounds like ANALLY. And Annalise is a bit better, but I really think it should be spelled something like Annelise.
Jaycee sounds made up and cutesy. Holly is nice.
Your boy names are NMS.
I love Holly and Augustus. They're less common that the others on your list and really great names.
Trendy: Xavier, Knox, Asher
Annelise and Augustus (Though I prefer August)
Ditto the comment about Gunnar re: law school.
Girl-
Annalee- eh
Annalise- i like it better spelled Annaliese or Anneliese
