I think of your boy names, Jack goes best with Brooke. Like Brooke, it is a one syllable name that's familiar without being overdone. It also doesn't have any nicknames and I personally like when siblings either all have longer names with nicknames, or none do. (I'm a bit OCD. ;)) Finn also matches that description, and I love the sound of it, but I personally think Finn should be a nickname for a longer name, like Finlay or Phinneas, and those seem to not match as well with Brooke. Jack Campbell or Jack Thomas are both handsome names.

As for girls, my favorite from your list is Maia. It's also monosyllabic, and has the same cute and friendly feel as Brooke does without nicknames. Maia Rae would be pretty if you have a longer surname, and Maia Constance is cute too. I would make that decision based on which flows best with your surname.

Other names you might like:

Emily
Alexa
Isabel
Ashley

Ryan
Logan
Tyler

Owen

My favourite is Maia, followed by Lily, Olivia and then Sophia from the girl's list. The other names on the list are not to my taste at all. I have a Maia myself and Constance was a mn we considered for her. I think it sounds lovely!
From the boy's list, I like Sebastian and Jack a lot, Finn is okay too. Jack Campbell or Sebastian Thomas (although lots of s sounds!)

My favorites -

Sebastian Thomas - I love this one!

Maia Constance - would work the best imo but this combo isn't my favorite. What about Mia Connie?

All though Olivia is very popular is it still one of my favorites. I'd pair it with Rae, Olivia Rae.

Of your girls names my faves are Maia, Olivia, Sophia and Lily (although I think the last three are pretty popular). How about...

Maia Rae
Olivia Constance
Lily Rae

I love the name Jack. Sebastian would be my second pick but out of the two I would hands down go for Jack. I think either Jack Campbell or Jack Thomas would work.

You have chosen names that are super popular now eg Jack, Lily, Olivia, Sophia, Finn, just so you understand before you name your baby and don't have namers remorse later because you didn't realise they were so popular.

I think Maia works beautifully with Brooke, Maia Lily Rae

For a son I would name him Sebastian Thomas which is lovely with Maia but not as good with Brooke.

Jack and Brooke go well so my choice here would be Jack Campbell.

My favorites are Maia, Lily, and Olivia for the girls and Finn and Sebastian for the boys.

Caelan-- This might be mistaken for a girl's name...
Jack-- It's nice, but pretty popular
Finn-- I really like Finn!
Sebastian-- This is really nice too

Maia-- I love Maia!
Caliegh-- What is this supposed to be? Cayleeg? Caleigh? I would definitely avoid this; it's so tryndee, and you have lots of other really nice ones!
Peyton-- See Caleigh, plus it's a surname
Olivia-- I really love this, but it's #7 in popularity, if that matters to you
Sophia-- I also like this, but it's super popular too
Lily-- I love Lily, but it's gaining in popularity...

Hi, and welcome! :-)

Caelan: I know it's an authentic Scottish name (and I think it's handsome), but to me, Caelan feels too close to trendy names like Braelyn/Caylyn/Jaylyn/Brayden/Cayden/Hayden/Jaiden/Jayden, etc.

(I also know of a few young girls named Caylen/Kailyn, etc.)

Jack: I think that Jack is very handsome, although I'm not a fan of it with Campbell due to the back-to-back K sounds.

Finn: I think Finn is a great name, and I also love Finnian. I think that Finnian Campbell has a great flow. :-)

Sebastian: I love Sebastian Campbell, although I think that some of your other names, like Finn, sound better with Brooke's more modern feel.

Girls-
Maia: I think that Maia is very pretty...

Caliegh: I'm not a fan of the trendy -aley/aleigh/alee names (Baylee/Bayleight/Bailey/Caylee/Cayleigh/Haley/Haylee/Hayleight/Shayleigh etc.).
Pam and Linda call them a "meganame," and wrote about this yooneek trend in this blog: http://nameberry.com/blog/2009/04/07/the-million-baby-name/

Peyton: Not a Peyton fan...

Olivia: VERY popular, but I do think it's pretty and works with Brooke.

Sophia: VERY popular, too, which may or may not bother you.

Lily: Ditto.

Brooke and:

Audrey
Chloe (super popular, though)
Claire
Laurel
Miranda
Ruby
Rosalie

P.S. I apologize for repeats!

you have somne of THE BEST TASTE in names I have EVER seen on here!!
LILY IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE NAME AND YOU SHOULD REALLY CONCIDER IT.
Caelyn (is that how you spelt it) is also VERY cute and I've never heard it before. I think I'm going to add it to my favorite names list.

I love the Middle name Constance!!! Id even concider it for a first name ;)
My favorite middle name for the boy would definitly be Thomas. Its veryyyy cute.

Does Lily Constance or Caelyn Thomas sound good to you ?

I like Sebastian Thomas and Finn Campbell
also Finlay Campbell Thomas would be nice

Lily Constance is beautiful although Lily is popular.
