Jace  - like

Connor - like

Owen - like

Nathan - do not like

Graham - do not like

Parker - do not like

Hailey - like

Anna - eh

Allison - like

Lauren - do not like


I would go with Owen for a boy or Haley (spelled this way) or Allison for a girl, although I much prefer the French spellings, Alicenne/Alicen, which would only work if you are French ;)

Jace reminds me of the girl on 16 and pregnant.  Very trashy girl, so it has a bad association.

 

I really like Owen and Graham, especially Graham....but what would his nickname be?

 

Are the girl names you picked family names?  They are a little common.  I was crossing my fingers for a girl this time, but he ended up being a boy, so I'll share my girl names with you.

Mallory- this is the name we were going to use

Cora

Genevieve (Genna for short)

Liv

 

Good luck!!

Jace - Hate it!

Connor - Hate it!

Owen - Like it.

Nathan - Love it! It pairs nicely with Cole, too. :)

Graham - Like it.

Parker - Like it.

Hailey - Like it.

Anna - Love it!

Allison - Hate it!

Lauren - Like it.

I'd cut Jace, Connor, and Allison.

My favorite on your list is Nathan, but Owen and Graham do pair nicely with Cole.

While I love the name Anna, I don't think that it pairs well with Cole.

Suggestions...

Addison (girl)

Lila

ETA:

More girl suggestions...

Ava

Ivy

Nora

Piper

Ruby

Boys:

Jace - Don't like at all.  Jason nn Jace, fine.

Connor - Like

Owen - Eh

Nathan - Like a lot

Graham - Fave of the bunch, great name

Parker - Eh

I like all of your girls names but I will say that girls names ending in the "lee" sound are kinda trendy right now (doesn't make them bad).  I think Allison is my favorite of your list.

My votes go to Graham and Allison with big brother Cole!

Of your boy names, I really like Nathan and Graham.  Connor and Owen are fine, but I've never particularly liked them.  I really don't like Parker...I always think of a hyperactive child.  Jace is really NMS.

For the girls, I like Anna, Allison, and Lauren, but dislike Hailey.
