Opinions on our short lists please.

We are team green so trying to narrow things down to short lists for each gender. Our daughter's name is Elle.
Girl names:
-Charlotte: a favorite for us both. DH pushing for my MN Marie (I'm up in the air on that).
-Eva: I am not a fan of sibling names with the same letter generally, but we both love this one so it made the list anyway. DH pushing for MN Marie & I like Grace or Claire for MN. Open to MN ideas.
-Dylan: this was our boy name with Elle, but we both decided we might like it better on a girl. MN likely Marie.
-Juliet: We both love it. Not sure on MN.
-Mia: We love this name, but here's the thing- we had agreed on it for our loss baby if it had ended up being a girl. That might take it off the table for me. I am still thinking on it. No clue on MN.
Boy names:
-Dylan: Still on the boy list. This is the only surviving name from our lists naming our other child. MN would be James (after my dad).
-Owen: We like this a lot, Elle LOVES it. MN maybe Xavier or Alexander? Open to MN suggestions here.
-Sullivan: I love this, DH likes it. MN would be James.

Re: Opinions on our short lists please.
My favorites from your girls list are Charlotte and Juliet.
I like Eva but probably not with Elle. I do not like Dylan on a girl at all. Especially when your DD's name is Elle, which is an extremely feminine name. Dylan just doesn't fit an
fun names!
Charlotte - so popular bc its so pretty!
Eva - fwiw, there was a late 50's actress named Eva Marie, this is who i think of. very pretty name
Dylan - I am lukewarm about this as a girls name, but vote "no" since your

I love Dylan for a girl! So cute but I don't like Marie for the MN maybe Dylan Grace instead. also I think Eva Charlotte would be a nice combo.
Owen is nice for a boy and I like it with the MN Xavier.
I like Eva and Charlotte and PP's suggestion of Eva Charlotte. I also like the idea of using your MN. It's used a lot but it's yours.
I like Owen and would still use James.
Charlotte - it's a nice name, but I'm so tired of hearing it
Eva - I really like it, but I agree that I would hesitate using it with Elle
Dylan - this name is like WTF for me due to the other lovely names on your list
Juliet - LOVE...
The initials OJ are a de

Your whole list is nice in my opinion. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. My favorites are Charlotte and Sullivan.

-Charlotte: It's okay.
-Eva:I like Eva...but I agree that I don't like sibling names that start with the same letter.
-Dylan: Not for a girl. It's a great name for a boy.
-Juliet: Pretty but a little frilly IMO.
-Mia: I li
I would go with Charlotte Marie or Juliet Marie and Owen James. Dylan on a girl is bad and the other names are either too popular or NMS.
Do not like Dylan on a girl.
Love Juliet, maybe MN Marie?
Also love Owen Alexander!
Good Luck!
I agree that Eva is too much with Elle as a sibset. Definitely not a fan of Dylan on a girl.
Love Charlotte and even better that you guys agree on it! Mia is also really pretty, and goes well with Elle. But you do need to decide if you can
I really like Charlotte w/Elle, even though it's popular (so is Elle which is sort of nice to have similar popularity IMO). Not crazy about Eva. Prefer Ava to Eva
Don't like Dylan for a girl w/a sister named Elle. One is f
