I like Audrey better than Aubrey & Audra... My college roommate was Audra and she got teased a lot - Audrag, Aubra, Slobdra, etc... I have a cousin Aubrey, and it's okay too - tho I think Audrey is just cuter... GL~

Get rid of Ryann...looks like you misspelled a boy's name. I also prefer Audrey over Audra or Aubrey. Audrey is very classic, but still fresh.

Jade and Jayden are not my style - plus they don't sound great with your last name. (Pretend she's answering her phone at work.) I think Aubrey would be confused with Audrey a lot. I like Audrey better. Alana and Audra are fine.

Alana Spraig
Aubrey Spraig
Jade Spraig
Audra Spraig

Ryann is pretty much set. My husband decided long ago that whether we had a boy or girl he wanted Ryan as a middle name in honor of a good friend. The only one on the list without Ryann listed as a middle name is from our list when we were expecting #1 (if we go with that name he wants to have 2 mns - still including Ryann)

Since Ryan is in honor of someone, I think it would be nice to spell it Ryan, even if you have a girl. There are lots of girls who are given last names for middle names to honor someone. I don't think you need to try to feminize Ryan by adding the extra "n". It looks like you are making up a new name -- possibly pronounced Ry-ann with the accent on the Ann. It also takes away some of the meaning. With Ryan, she'll have a story that goes with her middle name, unlike many of her friends, who will just have their "runner-up" first name as a middle name.

I actually prefer Ryan for a girl, esp. as a mn, but I also agree with pp to spell it Ryan. I've loved it for years as a mn and have made up many combos using it!

Have you considered Jada Ryan? Or Ryan Audrey as a double name?

Also, most people would disagree with me, but I am not a fan of same initials for siblings. I think it makes the names seem matchy and takes away some of the beauty of each name. On the other hand, we gave our kids fn that had the same no. of letters and mn that started with the same letter. That gives them a subtle connection without sounding cutesy.

I LOVE the story behind Ryan for the mn. One other thing to keep in mind is that three-syllable names sound very good with one-syllable last names.

Here are some girl names I like with brother Ashton Robert (I also think an ultra-feminine names sounds great with Ryan for mn)-

Clarissa Ryan Sprague
Natalia Ryan Sprague
Tabatha Ryan Sprague
Samantha Ryan Sprague
Elisa Ryan Sprague

Now six letters like Ashton, & names I think sound good as his little sis
Laurel Ryan Sprague
Mileah Ryan Sprague
Phoebe Ryan Sprague
Daphne Ryan Sprague

You could even go to the next letter of the alphabet-
Bridget Ryan Sprague, Briella Ryan Sprague, Bianca (six letters) Ryan Sprague

If I were going to choose an A- name, it would be either Amelia (although it is popular and still growing)- I've always thought Amelia Ryan is a beautiful combo. It's also six letters like Ashton. OR Annika, also six letters. Annika Ryan Sprague is scrumptious!

Let us know what you think! Ginger
