I wouldn't do Lane for a boy, but love it (Laine, Layne) for a girl.

I love Cade for a boy. Brynn is also pretty for a girl.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

Hmmm...from your lists, I'd scratch Maylee because it seems redundant to have another "lee" ending and it feels a bit frothy, Melia because Amelia is taking off and Brynn because it's also getting more common (frequently as a nn for Brinley.) I think Layna is sweet, but maybe too fem with Tenley. And I'd scratch Cade and Hayden from the boys' list because all things -ayden are through the roof popular and Caden is another common one, with Cade as a nn. Lane, though, could be very cool and stand nicely on its own (though Lainey is an ubernickname for girls these days, I think your spelling sets it in the "male" camp.)

Boys:
Hudson
Jasper
Fletcher
Nolan
Eben

Girls:
Severn
Sutton
Lara (lah-rah)
Troian (troy-en)

Lane - this is nice, but doesn't flow well with Leonard.
Cade - fairly common, but Cade Leonard sounds nice.
Hayden - I like this, but it gets lumped in with all the 'aiden' names - making it trendy. It's also quite common for girls now.


Layne Marie - my favorite on your list.
Maylee Marie - doesn't flow with middle name; too similar to Tenley
Brynn Marie - nice, but I don't care for the repetitious "Brynn" and "Ten" sounds
Melia Marie - I like Melia, but not with Marie.


Other ideas to go with Tenley Elizabeth.

hello!! tenley is a pretty name-and shes very cute. its seems its hard to pick out a second name when the first name you chose and used is perfect(i have a violet rose and its perfect-its unique, not common, but not out there in left field either...i also have an isabelle grace. while i love both their names, isabelle is a lil more common that violet-and occasionally we get confusion when were out in public and somebody says "isabelle!! to their child and my childs looking at me, like "what??" oh well-shes goes by izzy and not belle-so that helps that her nn is a lil more uncommon). from your list, i like the names lane and cade, but lane leonard does NOT flow right at all...and cade is a lil too nickname for me-what about kincade? kincade leonard has a nice flow and kincade and tenley sound good for a sib set. now for a girl, i like brynn from your list-and i kinda like layne, but not that much...what about layla or alaina? both sound cute with marie and while my friends lil 2 year old is alaina-i dont hear either name that often-the common girl one around here is kaitlyn and the boys ones are micheal and tyler...it depends on where you live too with the commonality of the names. take care!!
