Bryce Anthony ---don't really care for Bryce, Anthony makes a good middle name IMO
Joshua ---classic name
Landon ---favorite by far!

Brooklyn Marie ---love Brooklyn, Marie sounds good with it
Maddison Jean ---like Madison (only spelled this way) and like Jean
Ryleigh Anne ---love Rilee/Riley (only these spellings), prefer Rilee Anna to Rilee Anne

Good Luck!

Based on your list, it looks like you prefer trendy, contemporary names for both boys and girls, and somewhat unisex names for girls.

What are your other kids names? That will help us find something for you that matches.

Bryce Anthony- This flows really well. Bryce isn't my personal favourite, but I like that it isn't trendy, madeup or overly popular. LOVE Anthony
Joshua- waaay too popular
Landon- Like this

Brooklyn - Very trendy, and many people consider it a bit trashy as an association with the area
Maddison- First, you have it misspelled- Madison is the most common spelling so if you do use it I would use that, but I really recommend NOT using it! Like Brooklyn, very trendy and overdone, on its way to outdated
Ryleigh - Again, trendy and misspelled. I think you need some work on this girl's list

Marie, Jean, and Anne are all very 'filler' as mn's- names that are very common and quite boring. Unless they are family names or have personal significance, I would use something else.

Here are some ideas:

Brooke

Alaina nn Lainey

Maren

Carys

Carlen

Ashlyn

Bronwen

Ainsley

Harper

Tatum

Piper

Hadley

Annika

Ruby

Bridget

Tabitha

Lorelei nn Rory

Aurora nn Rory

Blake

Christian

Calder

Calman

Thatcher

Wade

Wesley

Dalton

Everett/Rhett

Simon

Garrett

Jared

Tomson

Flynn

HTH,

what are his reasons for not liking the names? I think that will help everyone give you more suggestions because then it's easier to incorporate both of your styles.

Jean is my great grandmother's middle name. I really wanted to add it somewhere in the baby's name if the baby is a girl. My daughters name is Rebecca Lynne and my son's name is Brendan Lee.

He likes
Nathaniel or Nathan David
Alexander

I don't want something trendy per say, I want something more original. Thanks for the help!

I also like Logan, Luke, Peyton. And Have suggested these names. I think he wants to just be the one to pick the name. I think that's why he doesn't like my ideas. I also love Kendall for a girl. Our children's names are
Stepehn
Kaitlyn
Noah
Rebecca
Brendan

I am looking for a name that is not as common. Something that has meaning. My great granmother's middle name is Jean, so if I'm having a girl I would like to incorporate that into her name. Her first name is Helen, but I'm having a really hard time thinking of how i could put that into a name. Thanks for helping.

I really like the Ryleigh spelling like that, I thought it would be something original. Not that she'd have an easy time spelling this name. I also like LeighAnn. I've almost given up on naming this baby.

what about Ellen or Elena (both are forms of Helen) and Jean as a middle name?
