Names AHHHH!

Okay, so most of my adult life I have been set on boy and girl names - Jason put the kabosh on a few, which I was fine with, but now I'm having second thoughts on my own! I know we'll just wait to meet the baby and then pick from there, but really what is a fitting name for me to call my child? A Jenny, Mandy and Kate perfectly fit my parents - they would have three girls named Jen, Mandy and Kate. What names fit me?!?!?
For a boy - Jensen - that probably won't change, not for the first one at least. Ode to my Dad for not having any boys to carry on the legacy.
For a girl, I am obsessed with Julia, I always have been. As a rendition of Allen (because we can't do Alyn like I wanted - my Dad and one of Jason's brothers share the same name and that would just create too much explaning time to clear that one of our children was not named after only one of Jason's siblings) we were thinking Allison. That is growing more and more on me, but then lately Anna keeps popping in and out of my likings - and now Taylor. Jason loves Taylor, but was thinking for a boy. I still love Hannah, but he thinks it is too close to the Hannah Montana craze - yeah, and Taylor doesn't have a connection with Swift or Lautner these days?!?!?
I feel like Allison is a stronger 1st child name than Julia, but then the baby may come out and have Taylor written all over it and take out both of the "planned" names! Then there is Barrett that waits quietly in the wings - virtually unspoken of to this point, but is my middle name and I was almost named this as well. Berit for a girl I would think.
So, instead of assuming that I'll have an Allison, Julia, Jensen, Hannah and Taylor - because that would be Jason's thought process (oh we'll just have more so we can use all the names we like!), I'll just sit on edge waiting to see what this baby is and what he/she looks like!!!
