Gabrielle - VERY pretty
Kiley - Also pretty, but doesn't really go with Gabrielle
Janessa - NO, sounds very unsophisticated(no offense, but to my ears it sounds very unsophisticated, the last thing I would want my daughter to become)
Kelsi - Not bad with Kiley, but please spell it Kelsey ('i's at the end of a name look ridiculous when the child becomes a professional)
Kara- Pretty
Halie - I'm never sure if this name is supposed to be pronounced HAL-ee or HAIL-ee. I'm assuming HAL-ee, which I think is very pretty
Annaleese- Pretty but I like Anneliese much better (same pronounciation, better spelling ;)
Jasen - I'm not going to lie it took me a few tries to figure out what this name is supposed to be. It looks convoluted and just wrong. Go with the stander Jason
Kyler - Not bad, but I like Tyler more
Justin - Kind of dated, but not horrible
Caleb - I LOVE this name. Its handsome, strong, has a great meaning, and is perfect for all ages. You can tell by the way its stood the test of time and has continued to be popular without seeming "old-man-ish"
Braden - This is my least favorite name. I think it is unsophisticated and sounds whiny.
Congratulations on your twins!

Your child's teachers, classmates, and future employers will need to be able to pronounce and spell his or her name correctly in the future. Names that are easily pronounced and spelled generally go over better than names that are so individualistic that no one else knows how to spell or pronounce them. Accordingly, wouldn't Hayley, Kelly, Kelsey, Anna Lisa, and Jason be better choices than Halie, Kiley, Kelsi, Annaleese, and Jasen?
Trendy names have a dated shelf life, according to Freakonomics. I'd go with Anna Lisa and Justin. Both names are just enough behind the trends to have stood the test of time.

I like Anneliese the best of your list. I also like it spelled Annelise. I dislike the Annaleese spelling (sorry, but I see anal)
I like Caleb best from your boys list
Caleb & Annelise sound nice together.
2nd choice:
Kara & Justin
3rd choice:
Gabrielle & Jason
Sorry, I don't really like the rest of your names.
My boy/girl twins are 5 now. Gets a lot easier once they are out of diapers. Good luck.
BTW, we had two sets of names ready, and we waited until we saw them and one set seemed to fit better, once we saw their faces.

I think you would be best calling your little boy Gabrille instead of the girl. You can use the nickname Gabe. And Annaleese is really pretty
