Love Matthew and Adele! The others are nice, but I know a bazillion little Lukes and Emmas. I really like Katherine too but like Adele more. Simple and beautiful. (I wish my DH liked it.)
I love Luke, but I don't know why I prefer it over Matthew.
I also love all of your girls names, but I love Katherine right now--maybe because it's been in the media lately, and I like the nickname Katie for a little girl.

I like both of your boy names- Luke maybe a little more than Matthew, but that's just because I grew up with about 10 Matthews, so Luke seems fresher to me.
Adele is my favorite of your girl names, simply because I think it's prettiest, and Emma would be my second choice. Also, I think Katherine could work really well as a MN for either of your other name choices- Adele Katherine is super cute!
Love Adele for sure. I like both Luke and Matthew equally, but Matthew seems a tad more refreshing these days when there are Lukes running around everywhere! I know you said you don't care if it's popular, but your LO might when he gets into school and he's one of four Lukes in the class. That is what a delt with when I was younger so I'm a little sensitive about it! LOL. Matthew also has several nn's and abbreviations that go with it, which gives the option of evolving the name as he grows.
I like Luke and Emma. Not sure why I like Luke better than Matthew, probably because I personally don't know as many Lukes as Matthews. I don't like Katherine because almost everyone I met in college was named Kat, Kate, Katelyn, Katie, etc. And adele just isn't my style.

Re: Down to 2 boy names; 3 girl names...
thanks. Yes, we like common, easy to pronounce names. We don't mind if they are super popular:) I know that for many that is not their style:)
Love Luke or Matthew
I'd probably go with Matthew because I think Luke has been really popular the last year or 2
I love Emma and Katherine
I'd probably go with Katherine for the same reason
do not like adele at all
All your names are nice!
Matthew and Katherine
I like Luke and Emma
Catherine is not my style - just don't like the name, never have never will.
And Adele is also not a favorite of mine.
I also like Matthew.

I'm a fan of Luke and Emma...the others are just NMS. good luck!
