I'm sorry, I'm not a big fan of any of these. I do like Brooke, just not Brooklynn. I like Lia, but not Leah for some odd reason. I'd pick Carter off the boys list, but I'd toss the rest.
Leah and Emmett. Leah is a great name. Emmett is NMS but it's the best of your list. All the other boy names are at best meh to me, and the girl names are just...no.

I would choose Leah and Carter from your list- in my opinion they are both much much nicer than the others in their categories. But if Brooklynn could be Brooke, I would go for that!
Thanks for all the input! Leah is my favorite of the girls, but DHs least favorite We have a rough time agreeing on names, especially girl names. (We were team green with DS and didn't have a girl name picked out when he was born ... Would like to avoid that this time around!)
Emmett is all right...wouldn't pick it myself, but I won't side eye it.
Edited because I copied and pasted stuff and then forgot to erase it.

I haven't read through the responses yet but I can guess these names will not go over well on this board. I think they are all very trendy and will seem dated in the near future. Leah and Emmett are the only ones I really like from your list.

Leah is a beautiful name. Definitely the winner for a girl. Of your boy names, I like Emmett then Carter. Brynlee is a hot mess.

To the others I mostly made this face
I could go for Brooke or Brynn. The -lee and -lynn tacked on is so very 2010s and will seem dated in a few years.

Leah is the only girl name on your list that I like. From your boy list I think Carter, Colton and Emmett are okay.
Brynlee - No!
Brooklynn - No!
Leah - Cute. I prefer Lia, but it works.
Mackenzie - Okay, but NMS.
McKenna - Borderline no.
Boy:
Carter - OK, but I know a ton of Carters.
Colton - OK.
Emmett - I like this.
Kellan - Like this one, too. Probably my favorite.
Rylan - No.

Not Brooklyn, and especially not Brooklynn.
