Jocelyn / Josslyn
Skyler
Tristen / Trysten
Alivia
Kenzie
Keira
Jayden
Briella
Paitlyn

Please help!

well, I'm glad the Brilyn is already used and you won't be using that. too made up, too many names these days which end like that that are made up

Jocelyn / Josslyn - I love Jocelyn
Skyler - I think of it as a boy name
Tristen / Trysten - I think of this as a boy name
Alivia - I don't even like it spelled Olivia, this way is worse
Kenzie - Mackenzie yes, just Kenzie, no
Keira - OK, cute
Jayden - too unisex, started out as boy name, some girls using it now
Briella - I like it without the A - just Brielle
Paitlyn - no way. Peyton for a girl, while unisex, is OK. but this sounds like a combinatino of paint and lyn.

good luck - go for Jocelyn. you don't hear it much, honest.

I agree with soccermom73 except that I kind of like Briella. It's a nice change from Brianna, and doesn't sounds totally made up. Most of the other names are not my style at all.

I love Josslyn. I am pregnant right now too and for a girl we are torn between Stella, Jade and Ashlyn. Everyone we tell those names to LOVES Ashlyn. Girl names I also love, but can't convince my husband to love as well, are: Meesha and Sajel (pronounced Sage-ul). Also, I know a little girl name Kenzie and EVERYONE calls her McKenzie. I didn't realize her name wasn't McKenzie until I saw it written once. But if you don't mind people mispronouncing her name her whole life, I think Kenzie is a great name.
