Congratulations. :-)
Your list of potential names is stellar. In the interest of whittling it down I'm forced to be picky. Here goes.
As you say, avoid another flower / botanical name. Also, avoid anything with prominent "L" sounds since you've already got Ella and Lily in the mix. That takes out: Poppy, Holly and Molly. What's left for a girl: Mia, Ava, Niamh and Keeva. Any of these will work beautifully. I'm a sucker for Niamh so she gets my vote. But really, any of these four would be great.
As for a boy, Ben, Alfie and Harry feel too nn-y. That leaves Noah and Kai. I like the long "o" sound of Noah because you don't have any other names with a long "o" sound and it. But I've picked Niamh for a girl and I dislike cutesy themes for twins, like starting their names with the same sound, as if they were candlesticks or something. So Kai it is. Again, the long "i" sound helps to keep kids different sounding in such a large group.
If I ruled the world:
Grace Olivia
Ella Rose
Lily Rae
Niamh Molly (since mns aren't used everyday I don't mind "L" sounds there)

Congratulations. I love the names Grace & Ella.
I thin Ava would be perfect with your girls names. Ava Niamh, Ava Holly, Ava Molly? Or one not on your list- how about Ava Maeve, Ava Carys or Ava Lucy?
Yeah, I'd avoid Poppy with Lily. Way too cheesy theme.
As for the boys, I heart Noah and it'd fit perfectly. The others are too nicknamey for me, well, escept for Harry which is just nms. I prefer Henry. How about Noah Kai, Noah Henry? Or Noah Felix, Noah George, Noah Griffin?
Have you thought about Kaia for a girl? Seems like it would fit your style.
Good luck.

I like Alfie and Harry for twins, and they go with your girls' names.
Are you from the UK? Names like Alfie, Poppy and Molly are more common in the UK than the US so I'm just wondering.

Hi, yeh i am from the UK :)
Awesome, me too :)
My fave sets would be:
Mia Holly and Alfie Noah
Ava Molly and Harry Noah
Poppy Ava and Noah Kai
Mia Holly and Alfie Noah
Ava Molly and Harry Noah
Poppy Ava and Noah Kai
Well, it seems like you like popular, feminine short names, so I would suggest something like that which begins with a new letter... the next logical choice would be Ava, Clara, Hannah. Zoe might work as well.
For a boy, Noah seems perfect, or maybe Silas.
