Emma is sweet but overly-popular, and Taylor has been VERY popular for a while lately. I think the trend is on the downturn now but it's still overly-trendy and sounds a little dated to me.


I never personally liked the name Allison, as I'm not a fan of girl names that end in "-son". Of the three, I would choose Emma in spite of its over-popularity as I still think it's a timeless and classy name.


I prefer Brady to Braden as I think that Braden is also very popular right now. I think Brady works as a stand-alone name.


Good luck! :)

Emma is way too popular for me, and Taylor is kind of popular now too.

Congrats on the baby!
Emma is such a sweet name - it is popular, but I really only know 1. I think with the vast number of options out there for names there will be nothing like the jennifer's of the 80's. I think of Emma as a classic name that will be classy forever.
Taylor on the other hand seems dated trendy to me. I used to like it (like when i was a kid and naming my dolls), but now it just seems a little dated to me.
Allison is very sweet. My friend has a 7 month old named Alyson and she gets compliments all the time. It is a name like Emma - and timeless classic.

A couple of other names that might be cute:
Elle (nn Ellie)
Claire
Amelia
Tori
Jenna
Lauren
Josie

As for boys I much prefer Brady to Braden. And while Braden is popular and I still feel that popularity has taken on a different form than when we were all born. Braden is a little less appealing to me because it rhymes with so many of the "popular" boys names. I really like Brady though.
A couple of other names that might work:
Brody
Grady
Gavin
Evan
Toby

Hope that helps and good luck!

Congratulations!!


I love the name Brady over Braden. I think the Aiden/Braden/Jayden/Caden trend is far more popular and annoying versus Emma or Taylor.


Personally, I love the name Taylor. Emma is very cute though too. Allison reminds me of an 80s or 90s name, but it's still not overly used and very pretty.

I think Allison Taylor would be a nice combination. : )

If it's a boy, I'd go with a more traditional mn with Brady/Braden like Michael, Matthew, Christopher, etc.
