Hi! I know the ladies here can give you some great middle name suggestions - but I have just one comment. I wasn't aware of this until recently, but alexia is a reading disorder, defined in one dictionary as "Loss of the ability to read, usually caused by brain lesions." If I were considering this name, I'd want to know that!

No such problems with your other name selections - they are VERY popular and very frequently used these days.

Best of luck to you and your fiance!

I think you can mix and match some of your names to make good combos.

For example, although you like Alexis as a first name, it can make a good middle name:

Katelyn Alexis (I like the spelling Caitlin, too!)

Jordan Alexis (I like Jordana for a girl, too -- I think it's less common and I knew one Jordana who went by Jordi and another who went by Dani)

Kayla Madison sounds nice.

You mentioned Jean as a possible mn, but I like Jane more. I like Alexis Jane a lot.

You can also shorten Katelyn and just use Kate for some names: Madison Kate, Jordan Kate, Alexis Kate, etc.

I think your boys names mix and match even better. I like:

Zachary Dylan

Zachary Austin

Tyler Blake

Aidan Zachary (also like Aidan John)

Austin Blake

Tyler Zachary

Hope this helps!

I really like most of those names, I have a brother named Tyler James and I think thats a really strong and handsome sounding name. If you combined some of your favorites you get a chance to use more of them... like Zachary Dylan or Austin Blake. As for the girl names Alexis and Katelyn are my favorites. I think Alexis Nicole is really pretty as well as Katelyn Nicole.

Good Luck choosing.
