Your choices are a bit trendy for my tastes, but here are my thoughts anyways, if you want a different perspective:

Addison - I love the nn Addie, but prefer the other Addie names- Adelia, Adeline, Adele, Adelaide, Adelaine, etc. Addison is very masculine and trendy, where the others are feminine and classy. Also, names ending in -son mean "son of", so it seems odd to me
Madeline - I really like this name! Unfortunately the horribly trendy Madison is similar, but this is easily the best name of the list so it GMV
Camryn - very trendy, maculine and misspelled, STRONGLY dislike this
Emerson - too masculine. I prefer Emma or Emmeline
Avery - Love it on a boy

Just had to ditto Nikki here. ITA, and my vote went to Madeline as well. ;)


Does "1st Baby Girl" mean you already have a boy/boys?? If so, I'd definitely avoid Addison, Cameron, Emerson or Avery in favor of a feminine name. Perhaps not as much an issue if the boy name(s) you've used are along the lines of Peter, Moses or Henry, but something like Mason, Hayden, Taylor or Dylan will make it seem you have all boys (or all girls with masculine/unisex names, depending on point of reference). Just something to keep in mind.


If it's just the sound of these names you like, just say the word and I'm sure you'll get plenty of similar, more feminine, less trendy
