I've picked out a few names for my fiance' and mine's future children, but I'd like to learn others' opinions of them. I mentioned why I chose each name.
KAIRI GRACE
(Kairi: pronounced ka-I-ri; japanese for princess - we both love anime and japanese culture)
(Grace: my fiance's grandmother)
SAVANNAH ELIZABETH
(Savannah: I grew up in Georgia and loved it)
(Elizabeth: my mom's name is Betty, which is a pet form of this)
AYLA RYAN
(Ayla: after my favorite literature heroine)
(Ryan: just always loved this as a girl name)
DONALD JOSEPH... III
(my fiance's name, but he's a Jr and wants to continue the line - I'm not sure though)
JOSEPH ALEXANDER
(Joseph: my fiance' middle name and I like it in general)
(Alexander: regal sounding)
SAMUEL DOUGLAS
(Samuel: undecided, but can have nicknames)
(Douglas: my father's name)
GIDEON DOUGLAS
(Gideon: love this name, but I can't get my fiance' to agree)
Might use ANN (deceased m-i-l's middle name) as an alternative.

I don't really want the family name, because I call my fiance' Don as do certain friends, but his family and certain other friends call him DJ. Also it's hard during legal matters and such - like we had problems with his credit history when we bought our house, because his dad's credit was mixed in. I don't want to be the only one responsible for messing up the family line though...

Great names! I like all three girl names, and I love the meanings behind all the names.
My favorite of the girls names is Savannah Elizabeth, although I really dislike the flow of Savannah Ann.
My favorite of the boys names is Gideon Douglas.
Good luck!

I think all of the names you have selected are very nice names and appreciate you giving reasons for your selections. Here's what I would suggest: For a girl Elizabeth Grace or Grace Elizabeth as a tribute to your mom and his grandmother. I would choose Elizabeth as the first name because it has many nickname options for the future. I wouldn't go with a third, I think kids should have there own names so I would suggest for a boy: Joseph Donald (your husbands name reversed) or Joseph Douglas (honoring your husband and your father). What ever combination you choose off this list, your child will have a beautiful name. Congratulations.

I like Savannah Grace (I know it wasn't a choice together) & Joseph Alexander. I would try at all costs to stay away from Donald Joseph III. My husband's family is all about the Jr.'s and III's and it's really confusing and annoying.

My favorites are Kairi Grace and Joseph Alexander. I LOVE Japanese names, language, culture, etc. I don't much like the name Donald, just because it makes me think of Donald Duck.

Ayla is so pretty, Ayla Savanna or Ayla Elizabeth is my favorite for a girl. For a boy, I don't care for any of them, my the best would be Joseph Alexander, and call him Alex.

I must say that I love the name Kairi... I have for a while and it is uncommon... I am not a huge fan of the name donald... of course they could go by don... but Joseph is a great name and he could always go by his middle name... I think it would be sweet to carry on the line
