We've had plenty of names chosen, but just can't decide on one. Would appreciate any input. I'm beginning to stress out!

Addison-
Annison- we like this original variation of Addison, do you? right now it's #1 on hubby's list. should it be spelled annason? I'd like to call her annie.
Kenady,Kennedy- my long-time favorite. but just heard of another couple in our small town using this name. should that matter?
Page,Paige- Page is my maiden name. I'm beginning to like it more as a first name (instead of my hyphenated last name), but could I spell it without the I? I might save it for baby #2.
Jane- for middle name, after my late aunt.
Riley- family name on hubby's side. I like, but also like for boys first name.

Let me know what you think. Thanks so much!

Well, honestly to me Annison sounds like like a medicine (Anacin) or a hazardous chemical or something like that. I also immediately though of Jennifer Aniston. Addison is much better but getting to be quite trendy if you are trying to stay away from trendy. I like Riley. It is my youngest son's mn but he goes by it. Since we did not know what we were having we decided on Riley for a boy or Rylee for a girl. A lot of my family did not like it but we loved it and that's all that mattered.I like Jane for a mn but have seen more often spelled Jayne lately. Paige is nice too. I'd use the i if using as a fn or go Page for a mn. Kennedy is nms. This spelling is also too masculine looking to me. And respelling is really nms either. So if you are not afraid of going trendy I would suggest Addison Riley
Addison Page
Addison Kennedy
Addison Jane
In that order.
HTH!
