Boy- Malachi Zion (names from the bible)
Girl- Serenity Jade or Araea Sunshyne (A-ray-a-Sunshine)

I love Malachi, and like Zion, but find the two quite repetitive together (the -chi/Zi- sounds back-to-back is just too much). You might consider Malachy (mal-a-kee), however. It's a separate Irish name, but also used as a form of Malachi (for obvious reasons) and would avoid the sound similarity. ;)
I'm afraid I can't be quite as positive concerning the girl options. Serenity is a well-known brand of adult diapers (constantly running ads on television, so not an association your daughter will escape). Just go to http://www.serenity.com/ and see for yourself. Honestly, if you can type your given name between www..com and come up with a common incontinence product, it seems it might not be the best choice.
Jade is not my style, and I really can't say anything positive about "Araea Sunshyne." To be blunt, it's cheesy, misspelled and pretty much everything I'd want to avoid when choosing a name. After all, this will be a 20, 50 ... even 70-year-old one day! Opting to make her name a misspelled phrase isn't "cute" past the first week or two, and can even be quite embarrassing when she's required to give her full name as an adult. I wouldn't do it to her.

I'm always drawn towards the name Malachi for some reason. I love it alot and it goes really good with Zion!!
Araea Sunshyne is cute and I bet you'll get alot of comments on it, I myself would choose Serenity Jade though.

those are certainly mouthfuls! I like Serenity Jade better, just because no teacher, or anyone will ever be able to say her name with Araea. The boys name is really old fashioned, I'm not sure I have ever met anyone with the name Malachi, but it's not too bad. good luck

I don't like the name Malachi Zion. It sounds a little scary to me. Serenity is a place I have seen on tv where people go for drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and Araea Sunshyne sounds like her parents were hippies. I would say go back to the drawing board my dear.

Malachi is kind of intense, but nice.
Serenity is okay.
But Araea Sunshyne? This is not a good choice. First, the Araea looks forced. Second, using two quirky names together is overkill. Lastly, what if she isn't? Choosing a name like this doesn't guarantee you a happy baby. If you end up with a real fusspot, you'll groan every time you say her name.
Kinda hoping you were joking with that one.

I LOVE Malachi Zion!!!
I LOVE Serenity Jade!!!
Araea Sunshyne is just ok, because Araea is complicated to pronounce, and I just think that Serenity is more beautiful that Araea.
Great names!!

i reaaally like malachi zion, it's very cool & unique. I don't like Araea Sunshyne it's kind of corny.. Serenity Jade is a nice-sounding name.

Are you waiting to find out the sex? if so then congratulations, I'm doing the same (I'm 8 months pregnant now, I can't wait).
When picking a name I always picture myself screaming the name out loud in a place full of people, like the grocery store, the mall or a park, if I feel silly then I keep looking. I think Serenity sound like a mouthfull plus I would relate it to the feminine pads (sorry this is my honest opinion) Jade is a nice, strong name that would grow well in a girl. Your boy name is fine but I don't think it flows well (Zion).
I don't like nicknames so I tend to pick names that are short and strong.
Good luck finding the right name!

I like Jade as a first name, but please don't spell sunshine wrong if you're going to use that. Araea Sunshyne is just asking people to make fun of her. That's like those fake names you hear in jokes (I.C. Butts and Anita Huggenkiss).

I lake Jade Serenity better than Serenity Jade. The other girl name is ridiculous and she'll be made fun of all the time. I like Malachi a lot.
