Ally--maybe if different spelling
Alexa--very pretty name, I like it a lot
Carly--Again, I like this name choice
Darci--Love it! Not heard it on any little ones so its so refreshing.
Graceyn--Pronounced like the boy Grayson?
Gabriella--LOVE it! I picture a beautiful little girl!
Hadliegh--not a fan, sounds like a boys name
Kamdyn--again, a boys name to my ears
Kennedy--LOVE this name, too.
Keely--Like it, a friend of mine is considering this if she has a girl.
Kenzie--short for Mckenzie?? A name very popular where I am from
Makenzi--see above
McKinzy--sounds too much like the above 2
McKinley--Not my style, again, like the same ones above
Rowan--sounds more like a boys name
Sydney--very cute sounding
Tori--good name, don't know any in the past 5 or so years.
Whitney--Not overly used, but not my favorite of your list.

Overall, I like about half the list and not the other half. As you can tell, I personally don't like the names that sound like they belong on a boy. That is probably due to the fact that I have 2 boys of my own with another on the way........its getting harder to find names that girls are taking over! SO its not that I hate the names, just not what I like. Boy, that sounds a bit bitter, doesn't it?? ;)

The others are all great names! I think your other 2 daughters' names are beautiful and sound very feminine to me, so the third should be the same.

Alexa and Darci are my favorites....I think...there are so many nice ones that its hard to pick. But I think Bree, Teagan, and Alexa may sound best to my ears.

I like Ally, but it seems like it should be a nickname for Allison.

I like Alexa, Gabriella and Sydney from your list.

Ally (DH name is Allen) - different spelling? Allie is cute, but trendy
Alexa- I always feel like it sounds like something is missing
Carly- Again, cute reminds me of "car"
Darci- Do NOT like it
Graceyn LOVE it! Classy and beautiful
Gabriella- Alot of name for a little one
Hadliegh- what???
Kamdyn- I thought this was a boy name
Kennedy- LOVE it! Very original
Keely- don't like it

Makenzi- cute, overdone though
McKinzy
McKinley- Like it! Again, fresh and original

I would have to say Makinley (but spelled this way)is my favorite. I am not a fan of the whole McK thing, so I think it looks much better that way. I also like Alexa. It is a very pretty name and I know a little girl with that name and she is just beautiful. I think Bree, Teagan, and Alexa sound great together. My last favorite are Darci, Tori and McKinzy. I just don't care for the first two nms, and the last one Again it is the whole McK thing. Hope it helps. Good luck!

Kennedy... It is very elegant and sounds great with other names. It is also kind of unique, but not weird! My list isn't that long, but I am only 3 and 1/2 weeks pregnant! Good luck...

Um, yeah, my list is at least twice as long as yours, and maybe longer, and my boys list is even worse, lol. I have a hard time choosing favorites and least favorites, so I'll post my thoughts with all the names, and then try to come up with some favorites:

Ally - I like lik Allie, or Ali, but not Ally. I like it better as a nn for Alexandra, Alicia, Alisa, or Allison.

Alexa - I really like this with your girls

Carly - It's a nice name

Darci - I prefer Darcy, Darcie, or D'Arcy in that order. It feels a little dated to me.

Graceyn - This is nms, sorry. I prefer Grace, Gracie, Graciela, or Graziella.

Gabriella - Pretty. I like this with your girls

Hadliegh - I'm guessing you meant Hadleigh. This is nms. I think of this as a last name, only.

Kamdyn - I prefer Camden, and I prefer it on a boy.

Kennedy - This is cute.

Keely - nms. It sounds too cutesy. I have a hard time picturing a sophisticated adult named Keely.

Kenzie - I like it as a nn for Mackenzie, but not as a given name.

Makenzi - I prefer Mackenzie, Mckenzie, or Makenzie in that order

McKinzy - my niece's name, and taken from Mackenzie as a preference of sound. I love my niece, but I don't care for the name. I like Mackenzie much better. Though I do like nn Kinzy better than Kenzie. And knowing your reasoning behind the name, I think this name works for you. There are others I like better with your girls, however.

McKinley - I prefer Mckinley (lowercase k), and I prefer it on a boy.

Rowan - I prefer this on a boy.

Sydney - cute, but I think it leaves Bree (Briana, wasn't it?) hanging.

Tori - It's okay. I like it better as a nn for Victoria.

Whitney - I like it.

I think my favorite is Gabriella, followed in order by Alexa, Kennedy, and Mackenzie.

My least favorites are Graceyn, Hadleigh, Kamdyn on a girl, Keely, Kenzie as a given name, McKinley on a girl, and Rowan on a girl.
