Why not the names of two women you love? Your wife, her mother, your mother, your grandmothers, her grandmothers, one of each? Perhaps not your first girfriend, if that is not your wife, or your current lover, if that is not your wife.
As to Sophia, that seems wise, as to Tiffany, that is the surname of a family of jewelers and craftsmen, that seem wealthy. Wise and wealthy are not bad either.

Give them names that you actually want them to go by. It bugs me when parents name their kids things they never actually intend to call them.
Also, use the traditional spelling of any names you choose. There is no reason to saddle the child with a lifetime of correcting the spelling of their name. Any time I see a kid named "Kaetlinn" or "Jonuthan" I wonder what the parents were thinking.
Finally, think about names that don't have too many different ways of spelling them. This will also save the kids a lot of trouble.

Avoid the US popular names list. But, you can actually find some very unique names on the most popular lists of
foreign counties:

This can be a nice way to incorporate one's heritage into a name.
Another interesting twist is to take a maiden name from your parents or grandparents and use that as a middle name.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton_J._Mouton
Mouton was born in Lafayette (also Lafayette Parish) to Edwin Mouton, Sr., and the former Georgie McBride. He was educated at Mount Carmel Elementary School and Cathedral High School in Lafayette. In 1939, he obtained a degree in business administration from Southwestern Louisiana Institute, now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He married the former Stella Rose Dupuis, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J.W. Dupuis, Sr., of Youngsville in Lafayette Parish. They had five children: Stella Rose; Ashton J. Mouton, Jr. (born 1947); twins Catherine Anne and Carolyn Anne (born 1953); and John Mouton. The twins were remarkable in that they were the first pygopagus conjoined twins to be successfully separated.[1] There is also a namesake grandson, Ashton J. Mouton, III, of Lafayette (born 1983).
