Harry - meh, nothing wrong with it per se but meh
Stanley - can't stand, awful old man bame
Roman - Polanski. Nope.
Kit - meh
Declan - very unusual for his age group. I like it.
Lachlan - I like
Bodhi - a nice name and as you have a Thai dh I would use.

Ivy - I like
Raven - I think you need a certain personality to suit Raven. It's a name that you change your name to, rather than are given imo.
Fallon - ugh, no. Fall On.
April - very pretty
Phoebe - MN has ruined this one on me. Generally pretty but I think you have nicer options.
Autumn - nice enough
Imogen - nice but a bit... blah
Mila - nice but not particularly memorable

There are a lot of Harry's but I think they tend to be older children, not so many babies. Though, it was very popular recently enough that people still think of it as a well used name iyswim. I wouldn't like to use it for that reason but again that's my personal taste.

Harry. (It's a nice name as far as being nice goes, but it's over used and boring)
Declan. Not keen, but it's a nice name.
Roman. No
Stanley. Too old man(y). And not it a cutsey way.
Kit. I like it as nn for Christopher
Bohdi. No.
Lachlan. I love it.

Raven. How likely is it that she'll have raven hair, because. It's sound daft on a child with platinum hair. Also Ravin's lunartic. Hmm too risky. Me thinks.
Fallon. Is lovely unique and fresh.
April. No it's far too overused. It's becoming like Ava Eva and Lily-Mae, plus. I think it would only work on someone born or concieved in April, but some people don't give a shiny shit about popularity or name suitability.
Ivy. Nice sweet elegant and pretty
Mila Not to my taste
Autumn. No it's terrible
Phoebe. Yes
Imogen At the moment "No", but if ask me in 10 mins. I'd Probably say "Yes". I tend to blow hot and cold with this name for some reason

Get rid of all except Bohdi and Autumn. Easy lol Smile
Personally I don't like Bohdi but it seems ( to me) to be your favourite.
The others are a bit meh. Except Raven, which is lovely.. For a teenage goth full of angst who changes their name to it.

I love Bohdi and declan.
With the girls any Imogen I've ever known has always been lovely.

To my ear Bohdi is a dated surfer's name used by wannabe spiritual stoners, but that just my associations with Point Break. You have good associations and reasons to use it. None of your other boy's names seem to reflect the baby's heritage at all and I think that's a shame as I like a name with links to the family. So actually I would go with Bohdi in your circumstances.

I love Ivy and Mila from you girls' list. As you are Polish is go with Mila.
