Ok. I'll take this one on. With the help of nymbler, by plugging in Mina, Gavin and Louise, here's a list I came up with:
Boys:
Aiden
Ethan
Ryan
Logan
Lucas
with the middle name Joseph or Stuart
Of these, I like Ethan Joseph and Logan Stuart the best; Mina, Gavin and Ethan (LOVE!) or Mina, Gavin and Logan
Girls: (Louise is such a wonderful middle name; I can't imagine a name sounding "bad" with it)
Teagan
Caroline
Amelia
Audrey
Tamsin (my favorite!)
Of these, my favorites are Amelia Louise and Tamsin Louise; Mina, Gavin and Amelia (awesome!) or Mina, Gavin and Tamsin (LOVE!).
Good luck (if you haven't had and/or named the baby already without us!)
Oh, and it just occurred to me that Cameron would sound great with your other kids' names AND work for either sex: Cameron Joseph, Cameron Stuart or Cameron Louise; Mina, Gavin and Cameron. Lovely.

For girls I love:
Camelia

For boys I love:
Louis

Emmett
Joel

I think my top choices would be Faith (Mina, Gavin & Faith) or Emmett (Mina, Gavin & Emmett)

Good Luck!

I think with sibling names of Mina and Gavin, the next child will also need a name that will stand out, yet still have a classic feel to it.

For a boy, I like Alec, Victor, Nicholas, and Roman

For a girl, I like Sasha, Ella, Clara, Julia, and (though it is very popular right now, I can't resist--)Ava.

Good luck!

Miles

Oliver

Leah

Sorry for any repeats. Good luck!

Alrighty - rubs hands together. I'm going to get out my version of the Baby Name Bible and look up sibling names. In my version of the book from 2005, Mina is not listed, BUT Mia and Mira are listed so I will use those for references. I will star my favorites.

Girls:
Mia Sisters:
Zoe*
Jada
Ava
Sofia
Lily

Mira Sisters:
Anya
Jolie
Tisa
Katia*
Lyra

Gavin Sisters:
Chloe*
Morgan
Gabriella
Zoe*
Ava

Note that Zoe and Ava are repeated - may be a sign!

Now on to the boys:
Mia Brothers:
Liam
Gavin - well look at that
Aidan
Eli*
Cole

Mira Brothers:
Joah
Nico*
Lev
Jair
Marek

Gavin Brothers:
Aidan
Owen*
Riley
Garrett
Liam

Note that Liam and Aidan are repeated - may be a sign!

Good luck.

I'll vote out of above suggestions.

Love Liam for a boy.

Mina, Gavin and Liam.

Love Faith or Ava for a girl.

Mina, Gavin and Faith
Mina, Gavin and Ava

What about Sonja/Sonya? Same kind of feel as Sophie/Sophia, yet not as trendy.

Mina, Gavin and Sonja?

For a boy, I like Liam (as many have already suggested).

Mina, Gavin and Liam.

Good luck and congrats!

Joellen, I'm curious about the middle name Bae. It looks like a Korean name to me -- or is it just a different spelling of bay/Bay?

There are a lot of good suggestions here. I'd probably go with another 2-syllable name.
