Congratulations!
I wouldn't use Ashley for a boy personally, but particularly for the boy of a boy/girl twin, as people might think Ashley is the girl.

Sienna and Xavier go nicely together, and its very clear which is the boy and which is girl. :)

A second vote for Xavier and Sienna. I don't like your other names, sorry.

I don't really like any of your boys' names I'm afraid. At a push I'd go for Xavier but it does sound a bit too French and poncey

I like Ariana a lot. Ava is OK but makes me think of Eva Braun and I really dislike Sienna.

Arianne or Gabrielle for a girl

Samuel or Xavier for a boy.

Ashley has become a girls name I think. Sienna very sleb. Ava nice but very popular. Aria a bit odd-sounding.

Is Xavier pronounced Saviour?? Confused

Xavier is lovely and I think Xav/Xavi are cut nicknames.

Not keen on your girls names, apart from Ava, but that is very popular.

Definitely Xavier and Sienna. I love Ava as well but I don't think Xavier and Ava go well together as they sound very similar

Sorry, don't like any of your boys names except Samuel. Xavier is too posh for me, live in the North West. Jackson makes me think of that awful puppet from the Storymakers and Ashley makes me think of Corrie. Also agree with the comments about Ashley causing confusion over the gender.

From your girl's names I like Ariana and Gabrielle but Ava is very popular along with similar names like Eva and Evie. Sienna is a bit too sleb for me.

I like Ariana Gabrielle and Ava with Gabrielle. I also like Ada, similar name. It's my fave name for a girl.

I like Samuel and Xavier.

I think Ariana and Xavier go well together. Both more unusual and not as popular.

If you go with Samuel then I think another popular ish name for a girl would suit best to go with it, like Ava.

That's just my opionion. I think if u had a name like Susan for girl and something like Rocky for the boy it wouldn't click together iykwim.

Ava Rihanna sounds like " 'ave a banana"
Maybe it's just me...

Ariana is particularly lovely.
Ava is nice but it;s getting quite popular I think - not sure if this matters to you or not?

What about Xander instead of Xavier?

Other than that I like Jackson.

And Ariana is the nicest girl's name on your list.
