Definitely Deanna. And that's saying a lot, because the Deanna/Brianna sounding names really hurt my ears. I think Ender would be a tough name for a little boy.

I voted for Deanna. To me, Ender Cale said together (endercale) sounds like a medical term.

Is Deanna pronounced De-anna or Dean-a? I have heard both pronunciations for this spelling. I like De-anna more. I don't love Lyn, although I would like it more spelled Lynn. Lyn looks like the end of a name to me--like the end of Carolyn. I think I'd like Deanna more with another middle name. Do you like the name Damara? It's ancient Greek...can't remember the meaning. It's pronounced Dah (a as in -mar (like mare)-uh.

Deanna Rose
Deanna Lynnae
Deanna Pearl
Deanna Lauren
Deanna Renee
Deanna Lily
Deanna Carolyn

How about Anders, Andrew, Adrian or Aspen instead of Ender? or Anders Cale, Andrew Cale, Adrian Cale, Aspen Cale. Oh, I think the other thing with Ender is that I feel as though I am mispronouncing "under." I have the feeling that a child with this name would end up getting teased a lot, and would be constantly correcting spelling. Are you set on the middle name? Cale is ok, just not my favorite. Good luck!

I think you need to come up with something different for a boy.

I like Deanna, think Lyn is a very boring middle name with it. If Lyn is for a relative, how about Lynette or Lynelle to jazz it up just a little

good luck

not sure where you were trying to go with Ender - but here are some possible alternatives to that with some of its sounds

Holden, Jared, Brendan, Derek, Andrew, Andre, Noah, Evan, Aaron, Brennan, Tanner, Conner, Landon, Trevor

other possibilies in the style of the above names: Colin, Colton, Dylan, Eric, Garrett, Hunter, Keegan, Kyler, Logan, Mason, Preston, Parker, Rory, Rhett, Shawn, Shayne, Spencer, Tristan

good luck
