Go to these sites to look up more names:http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyagerhttp://www.babynames.com/They sound OK to me but if as the other poster has said, are fad names, they won't be that cool a couple of years on.

 Grace is the middle name and so is Dion.

I suspect the kindergarten of 2013 will be filled many Kyla's and Dion's.But these are my judgments, and there's no reason why they should be yours. The main thing you and your husband should discuss is not WHAT to name the twins, but WHY. If you can agree on a reason for choosing names, then finding a mutually agreeable name will be easier. Here are some common reasons:To honor tradition. You may wish to honor family members, choosing names form your trees. In that case, pick one from yours and one from his. If there is a heritage you especially want your children to be proud of, you could pick a name from that tradition.To honor famous or important people. I suspect we will see many a baby Barack. Who do you two admire and respect most? What are your ethical, political, religious or cultural values?To fit in with peers. Naming can affect how your children are seen by their peers. Think of your children with their classmates. Where do they fit in? Are they leaders, nurturers, entertainers? Are they quiet but dependable? Their personalities obviously are their own, but the name will affect how their friends (and enemies) see them.To give them an academic and professional advantage. Studies show, unfortunately, that teachers and employers often judge people solely on their names. In 2005, contributors to a website for teachers listed names of students "most likely to misbehave." These tended to be children named after celebrities. One famous survey involved teachers evaluating examination papers. On average, children with middle-class names were judged brighter--even in some cases where it was exactly the same paper!To make home life cozy. Some parents choose names with endearing nicknames. This allows children to divide themselves between a formal world for most people and a more intimate one for family and friends.Congratulations on your twins!
