Of the boy choices, I adore Asher, and quite like Caleb (this spelling) and Cole, in that order. Tyler is too dated for my taste.
The only girl option I really care for is Sadie. I prefer it as a nickname for Sara(h), Sarita, Serafina, Saphira, etc., but even on its own I find it 100% more palatable than the others. Jade, Jaiden and Jaelynn all end up sounding like pretty much the same trendy name. Add in Aidan, Caden, Braden, Hayden, Kailyn, Jaila, Kayla, Kyla, et al, and you have one of the biggest trends out there. Not my style at all ... I prefer something more interesting and unique, or at least a timeless classic, regardless of popularity. Jacie also blends in with this myriad of common J-names, not to mention seeming quite insubstantial (more like a nickname based on the initials J.C. rather than an actual name itself).
Hope that helps!

Cole isn't a full name, it's a nickname for Nicholas.
Caleb is a bit trendy right now and it's not spelled with a K.
Tyler is okay, a bit fluffy for my taste.
Asher is a nice Jewish name. I like it.
Sadie is a lovely name but it reminds me of the Alkaline Trio song about Sadie Mae Glutz of the Charles Manson family. I doubt that reference would affect a little kid, though, so it's still good.
Jade is a dumb name and way too overused.
Jaiden is a boys name, and it's really just a bastardization of Aidan so it shouldn't count as a name anyway.
Jaelynn is horrible.
Jacie isn't too bad, but I don't like it.

Boys:
Cole: I love Cole, so long as it's not spelled with a K (I think it makes it look too harsh); I prefer it as a middle name though
Kaleb: I prefer Caleb; I used to adore this name, but it's become so popular that it's lost some of it's appeal.
Tyler: I have a very good friend named Tyler and, as such, this will always be a favorite name of mine ^_^ as far as occupation/surname names go, it's very poetic and not nearly as harsh as some of the other popular ones.
Asher: It's okay, but with all of the Ashtons and Ashleys (male and female), it seems to blend in. I do prefer it to all other ash-names save for Aislinn (which I would only use on a girl).
Overall: Cole wins
Girls:
Sadie: adore, adore, ADORE the names Sadie ... especially as a nickname for Mercedes. I think it's a shame that Mercedes has such a trasy reputation (hopefully it's only around where I live)
Jade: I've known a lot of girls my age named Jade ... I always thought it was pretty, but it's on par with names like Amber; not trashy, but common and favored by popular/mean girls who want to change their name.
Jaiden: A boys name as far as I'm concerned, though I do love it on a boy.
Jaelynn: I don't really like it ... when I say it it comes off as a bit akward (granted, that's probably just my ineptitude) and I'm not fond of the trendeigh spelling.
Jacie: Beautiful; Jaci means "moon" in Tupi, but I also love this as a shortening of Jacinth or Jacinta.
Overall: Sadie wins.

For a boys name I would choose Asher, Kaleb and Tyler are too common. For a girl i'd choose Sadie.

Sadie and Cole. I don't hear Sadie much anymore, and I think that's an adorable name for a little girl. I would have chosen Kaleb... only if spelled Caleb.

From your list, I would choose Tyler for a boy and Sadie for a girl.

I'm hearing a lot of Caleb/Kalebs lately. Also Jaiden/Jayden is wayyyyy too overused.
Other than that, you've got really nice names. My favorites are Cole and Jaelynn.

Asher and Sadie. The rest of the names are tacky and trendy.
