All of these are very trendy...which means they will be "out" in just a few years (sort of like Melissa and Scott are out now but were "in" in the 1970's) I suggest you find more classic versions:

Madeleine
Adeline
Adelaide

James
John
Jack
Jackson or even...
jacob
Joshua

Jacob and Joshua are very polular but are "real names" more than Jayden or Jaden. Rule #1: if Britney Spears names her child something, you shouldn't. Good luck!

I agree that the names listed are trendy (although, I really like Sydney and it has been around long enough to be a "real" name in my opinion)

Madeleine has the same sound, but you aren't risking being so dated.

Jayden is definitely this generations Jason (and Kaden/ Cayden et al is the current Kevin...)

I must disagree about Britney, though - I think Preston is a classic!

Madeleine Grace, Madeleine Elise

Sydney Jane, Sydney Elizabeth

I think Madison is like the #3 most popular name for girls in the US and Madeline is also popular.

Girl

Madison- a very trendy name and the nn Maddie is everywhere. If you don't mind popularity, use it, but if it would bother you that she would have a Madison (Maddy), a Madeline (Maddie), and a Madelyn (Maddie), and maybe even a Matthew (Mattie) in her class, don't use it.
Madison Corinne Madison Charlotte Madison Claire
Syndney- I'm hoping this is a type. Syndney is horrid. Sydney is nice.
Sydney Josephine Sydney Lila Sydney Camile

Boy
Jaden- prefer this spelling, but really don't liek the name. It (and its variants, Aidan,Hayden,Caden,etc.) are SO popular, it is ridiculous.
Jayden- this spelling seems more feminine to me
Jaden Matthew Jaden Everett Jaden Paul
Jayden Elijah Jayden Wyatt Jayden Marcus

It seems as if you go for the very common and trendy names. Here is a list of some to consider that aren't quite so trendy as Madison and Jayden/Jaden. The trendiness really just makes them 1 of 3 in their class and dates them to the year in which they were born (think Jennifer, Lynn, Tiffany, Brian, etc.)

Girls:

Taryn

Jade

Ainsley

Alyssa

Courtney

Sienna/Sierra

Carys

Carlen

Isla "eye-luh"

Delaney

Sage

Lola

Boys:

Caleb

Wyatt

Gavin

Hunter

Jonas/Jonas

Elijah/Elias/Elliott

Emmett

Josiah

Ashton

Quinn/Quintin

Griffin

Gage

Beckham/Beckett nn Beck

HTH!
