First of all, can I ask if there is any meaning behind the mn's? I only ask because I have never heard Bray before. It sounds like it might be a surname. If so- cool! If not, I would probably look for somethign different. Since all of your first names are unisex and on the trendier side, going with some feminine and classy would balance it out well.
Madison- I love both Madeleine and Madeline, despite the Maddy popularity, but can't get into Madison. I find it dated and very 90's. Plus, it ends in -son, which means "son of". Just doesn't do it for me.
Peyton- I like this, and have only met one before.
Hadley- Very sweet. Again, I like this.
Hayden- I only know boy's with this name, and find that it has a very masculine sound. Even aside from that, I would avoid it because of the aden trend. It is getting to be way overdone, and all of the aden names have quickly lost their appeal.
ETA What is your first daughter's name? That way we can help you pick something that goes nicely with it.
Hadley is the only fn on your list that I like; I find the others very much overdone/ too trendy. However, I don't like the mn Bray. I automatically think of a donkey bray. Unless it's a significant family name for you, I'd keep looking for a mn for Hadley. I'd prefer a more feminine option with a unisex fn. Here are some combos I like personally:
Hadley Kate
Hadley Violet
Hadley Therese
Hadley Annabel
However, of course, if Bray has special significance to you, use it by all means!
Good luck.
Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
This is why I ask for help because it is nice to get an opinion
AJ, enjoying life with C.
I like how you paired the super feminine Ashlyn as a mn to Taylor. Here are some combos I like with Taylor Ashlyn...
Hadley Vanessa
Harper Eloise
Isla Bridget "eye-luh"
Kenna Violet
Sierra Faye
Rory Estelle
Tatum Audrey
Seren Pearl
Thea Jocelyn
Jordan Sophia
Ember Felicity
My neices are Hadley May and Ashlyn Bree... just thought you might like that. :)
I also like the unisex fn paired with a feminine mn. What about...
Hadley Josephine
Hadley Nichole
Hadley Sienna
Hadley Grace
Hadley Violet
I like Peyton the best - Madison is way too popular, not so much among babies as most people have realized that and moved on from that name - but there about probably a couple million of them in the 5-15 age range. Hayden is OK, but all the "aden" names are so prevalent right now. I don't like Hadley at all
I like Hadley best as a sister to Taylor.
