Kjerstin (Pron. Cheer-stin I think)- Spelling is bad, and not sure I even like Cheerstin
Ashtyn- even though it has a y it still is a boys name to me
Sydney- ok, but you cant think of sydney without thinking of australia
Addison- too harsh sounding.. I like madison much more
Allison- this is cute
Sophie- like, I also like Sophia
Madison- like this name but its very popular right now

Allison or Sophie/Sophia are my favorite. Madison would be second choice

Good luck

Kjerstin -- I grew up with a girl with this name, and she hated it because she was constantly trying to explain to people that it wasn't just a misspelling of Kirstin/Kristin. Even aside from that, I just don't really like this name.
Ashtyn - I'm SO sick of all the trendy Ash- names AND the trend of sticking "y"s randomly into names. This names fits into both of those categories. I really dislike this name. I don't think it's a name that ages well, I have a hard time imagining 22 year old Ashtyn being taken seriously as she's trying to find her first job in the corporate world.
Sydney -- this is better than Ashtyn, but I still don't love it.
Addison --

Kjerstin (Pron. Cheer-stin I think)- Don't like the spelling, don't like the pronunciation
Ashtyn- even spelt this way it is too masculine
Sydney- nice, I like it.
Addison- okay, I like the nn Addie but prefer it for Adeline or Adelia
Allison- very pretty
Sophie- cute, but getting popular
Madison- getting tired of it. Too popular now

FAVES
#1) Allison (although prefer spelt Alison)
#2) Sydney (I love the sibset Sydney and Hayden)
#3) Sophie

Kjerstin (Pron. Cheer-stin I think)- dislike ... if you aren't sure how it's pronounced no one else will either!

Ashtyn - dislike ... sounds like a boy's name to me

Sydney - ok

Addison - a boy's name IMO ... means "son of Adam" & sounds great on boys

Allison - ok ... not overly popular anymore so you won't see many others in your dd's classes

Sophie - very classic, pretty, & classy

Madison - ok but quite popular

I like Sophie best from your list followed by Allison.

Kjerstin (Pron. Cheer-stin I think)--Don't like the way it is pronounced. It will be a lifetime of telling people how to pronounce it.
Ashtyn--not a favorite of mine
Sydney--I like this name!
Addison--I like this, especially the nickname Addie!
Allison--I know many Allisons in the past few years, so its kind of "tired" to me.
Sophie--LOVE this name!
Madison--same as Allison, too many lately

My choice is Sophie. I just love it. Sydney is my second choice.

If you're not sure how it's pronounced it shouldn't be on your list.

Allison or Sophie are lovely, classic names. I have nothing nice to say about the rest.

Don't like the K name at all.

I know a litttle girl named Ashlynn, it is more feminine sounding than Ashtyn.

Alison, Madison, and Sophie are all cute.

From this list, I like Ashtyn the best. But I would like to suggest Ashlyn. I think it sounds a little more feminine. What do you think? Nice set of names!

I like them all except for Kjerstin..I don't like it at all. My favorite is Ashtyn, and I really like Addison..it's just become very popular. But I think the nn Addy is so cute.

Kjerstin (Pron. Cheer-stin I think) - I think Kirsten is nicer and much easier to pronounce!
Ashtyn - Not really my style. How about Ashlyn?
Sydney - Again not my style and I don't like the nn Syd.
Addison - I prefer Madison
Allison - This is nice
Sophie - I really love this name
Madison - Cute and love the nn Maddie.

My favourites are Sophie and Madison and my least favourites are Sydney and Ashtyn.
