Opinion on Fav Names Please

My DH and I have been thinking about names for a while and found it really hard to settle on fn and mn for our baby.

Not sure what sex is, so we've had to go with one set of names for each. Its been really hard to find names that were unique, but not too out there if you know what i mean. What do you think?

Girl: WINTER LILY

Boy: JAYDEN ISAAC

Thanks.

I'll admit that season names (most random word names, really) aren't my style to begin with, but this combination comes across as a bit corny. It's not so much a name as a phrase, like Summer Rain or Autumn Sunset. Lily is also VERY popular (not just as a given name, but also as a nn), so if you were really looking for something unique you might want to rethink this pairing.

Boy: JAYDEN ISAAC
I'm sorry to be so blunt, but not only is "Jayden" not unique, it is possibly one of the most popular trendy names out there. One of the first to jump on the "Aidan" bandwagon (along with Caden, Braden, Hayden, Zayden, Treyden, Bladen, etc.), it also falls in with all the other trendy misspellings, not to mention being overwhelmingly popular with both genders, to the point of being very played out. Then of course you have to consider the whole Britney aspect. Celebrity generally doesn't help a name seem any more unique. Instead, many will think you simple heard the name on E! or something and copied her, KWIM?

So he won't be unique in the least -- there seems to be a Jadon/Jayden/Jaidon/Jadynn/Jaydann, etc. everywhere you look -- and in a very short time when the trend dies out his name will be incredibly dated. Doesn't seem like the one for you, to be honest.
