I really like a lot of your names that you have picked out. The only thing I have to say is from a teacher's point of view seeing kids with the really different spellings is very hard. Try to go phonetically with spellings so that it isn't pronounced wrong or whatever. My daughter is Brielle (which is the only way to really spell it-pronounced like the end of Gabrielle) and I still have people call her Briley, Bryell, etc.

As far as my favorites I love Taryn, Carlie (was one of the choices for Brielle but husband nixed it)and Tatum for girls. I like Kennedy, but spelled that way.

For boys I like Grady, Brady, Grayson-and I have another idea. My son is Brayden and today one of his new little friends kept calling him Grayden. I thought it sounded kind of cute!!

Best of luck! Is this your first?

Carly - this spelling
Kenady (which spelling Kenedy - Kenadee - Kenidee etc,) - to be brutally honest, unless it's spelled Kennedy, it looks like a typo or that the parents can't spell. The Irish last name for first name thing isn't my style at all, but please stick the standard spelling for your child's sake

Sydney - fine

Rowan - OK

Hadlee (or Hadleigh) - nms, but spelled Hadley looks the best

Kamdyn - nms

Teirney - nms

Tatum - OK

Taryn - nms

Kamryn - nms

Grady - OK
Gavin - nice
Jaxson - please spell it Jackson or it looks too "cutesy"
Camden - nms
Avery - becoming a girl's name
Gage - OK
Jameson- OK
Deklan - Please spell Declan or it looks like a typo or worse
Grayson - OK
Kyler - nms
Keaton - nms
Austin - OK
Brady - OK

This depends on the first name - last name flow, of course, which is much more important than the middle name, since the middle is used so rarely.
