Even though it's early, thoughts on names...

My fiance and I will be married at the end of the summer (YAY!), and will be trying to conceive within the next year if all goes as planned. Even though it is early and we aren't even pregnant yet, we are already thinking of names. I have been a baby name lover since I was little because I always knew I wanted to be a mommy. I have been a lurker on this board, so I know the kind of style you ladies have. Let me know what you think about our names so far and if you have any suggestions that I haven't thought of! Thanks 
PS...He already has 3 kids (Cierra, Katelynn, and Jaylon). While I don't think our future LO's name has to match their names, I don't want it to stick out like a sore thumb either. Because 2 of the kids have a lyn/lon ending, I am automatically crossing off all names that end in lyn/lin/lynn. I am also crossing off all K names as most of his brothers/sisters/nieces/nephews start with a K and most just aren't my style.
Girls
Caroline Hope (Caroline after my GM)
Maggie Caroline (His GM is Margaret, we both dislike the name greatly but really like Maggie)
Halle Evangeline (Evangeline is the sort of combination of our mothers' names - Angela and Jacqueline...without it being a smooshed name)
Livia Grace
Audrey Kate
Layla Hope
One of favorite names is Jocelyn, but with a Jaylon and a Katelynn, I think it's too much.
Boys
Levi Bennett
Deacon Andrew
Grady William (William is SO's mn)
Asher Andrew
Bennett Cole
Dominic William
Re: Even though it's early, thoughts on names...
Caroline Hope - Love the family significance, and also the name.
Maggie Caroline - Maggie is just okay for me nms really.
Halle Evangeline - Like this one a lot.
Livia Grace -NMS
Audrey Kate-Pretty
Layla Hope- dislike Layla
Boys
Levi Bennett-Levi is nms. Love Bennett.
Deacon Andrew - Love!
Grady William -My favorite from your boy names.
Asher Andrew- Love Asher, but not with Andrew. Don't like the two A's. Asher William is nice.
Bennett Cole- Love !
Dominic William- Dislike nms.
I like Caroline and Evangeline and I love Margaret. I wouldn't use a nickname as a given name, though, so for me Maggie is a no unless it was short for Margaret. I like Halle in theory but it just doesn't seem substantial enough for me on its own.
For boys, I like Bennett, Deacon, Andrew, and William. Asher is ok but trendy and I don't really like the others.
I would go with:
Caroline Grace
Margaret "Maggie" Caroline
Evangeline Katherine
Andrew Bennett
Deacon, William, or Bennett with a 1 or 3 syllable mnCaroline, Maggie (i don't like MArgaret either but love Magnolia) and Livia is beautiful
Grady Asher and Bennett I like...
thanks for the replies ladies!! I, too, like the name William as a first name, but we have a Will and a Liam in the family already, and those would be the 2 nn's we would probably use. Plus, my SO has a friend named Will who many would assume he may be named after, and I just couldn't do that to my child! lol While he's an ok friend, he's definitely not someone I'd name my LO after... kwim.
Caroline Hope - Love the family significance, and also the name.
Maggie Caroline - NMS
Halle Evangeline - Beautiful. I love Evangeline.
Livia Grace - Pretty but sounds like a nn for Olivia. What about Lilia Grace?
Audrey Kate- NMS
Layla Hope- I love Hope
Boys
Levi Bennett- Levi is nice. Love Bennett.
Deacon Andrew - Love!
Grady William - NMS
Asher Andrew- Love Asher, but not with Andrew. Don't like the two A's. Asher William is nice.
Bennett Cole- Eh NMS
Dominic William- NMS
From the girls, I vote for Layla Hope. Livia and Audrey are nice too, but Layla is my favorite.
From the boys, I like Grady William or Dominic William. I like most of your boys names, though, with the exception of Asher Andrew.
Lots of great names! I particularly love Halle Evangeline (I'm big on meaningful middle names and it also happens to be lovely). Audrey Kate is adorable.
Levi and Dominic are also very nice.
Congrats on your upcoming wedding! Your stepkids are adorable so I'm sure your future baby will be too :-)
