Jordan -- I can see from your list you like more masculine names, but this is much too masculine, IMO. It was very popular with some of the girls I knew back in junior high/high school (not teen moms LOL) because they thought it would be "cool" to use for a girl. Now, ten or fifteen years later, it just sounds dated and a bit juvenile (no offense to anyone who likes the name for a girl, it's just the association I have).

Avery -- I don't mind this for a girl, although I do prefer it for a boy. As others have mentioned, however, it's very R-heavy with the middle and lns.

Taylor -- also very dated. My own sister's been holding onto this one for about a decade, since she had a Cabbage Patch Kid named Taylor, but now that she's working with younger children it seems to be getting "old" even for her. Also, Taylor Hicks seems to have made this more familiar as a male name again.

Cassidy -- my favorite from your list.

Baily -- Bailey is ok, and FWIW I've never met a dog named this. LOL If the Baily spelling was intentional, however, I'd have to say definitely no.

You might also like Ainsley/Ainslie, Paisley, Fallon, Teagan or Hadley.
