I am thinking:

Jadyn Christopher Gardner for a boy

or

Jadyn Brynne Gardner for a girl
What does everyone think?

I prefer Jadon spelled like this for a boy, or even Jaden, but not with the Y. Also Jadyn Brynn looks VERY girly to be used for a boy, That is just my opinion, did you mean for that to be your girl choice? Good luck!

I prefer the spelling Jaden on a boy, and I definitely think of Brynne as a girl's name, so I'd vote for the first combo. :)

I agree that Jadyn looks more feminine than Jaden or even Jadon. Since it is a unisex name I would try to make it look as masculine or feminine as possible. I do love both of your combos though.
Good luck!

First of all, I love Brynn for a girl. I prefer this spelling because the "e" seems unnecessary and it will just give you trouble. I would stick with proper spellings. Jadyn is not a proper spelling, nor is it a great name. It is trendy and doesn't have a classy feel at all. Here are some more modern names that you may want to consider that AREN'T trendy or unclassy:

Girls:

Alba

Ebony

Elora

Kendall

Jocelyn

Hadley

Aurora nn Rory

Corinne nn Cory

Delaney

Ainsley

Sage

Maeve

Beckett

Beckham

Thatcher

Fletcher

Weston

Wade

Calder

Calman

Griffith/Griffin

Flynn

HTH,
I like Ainsley Brynn a lot... or maybe something like Beckett Christopher nn Beck? That seems much more distinguished than Jadyn. Oh... isn't Christopher Gardner the name of the guy the movie/book The Pursuit of Happyness is about?? I'm pretty sure that's his name.

Jadon is VERY popular, but I don't mind it for a boy when it's spelled correctly. The various misspellings just come across as trendy and uneducated, KWIM? I don't like Jadon -- any spelling -- for a girl at all. Then it just gets thrown in with the whole "Maisyn/Caydann/Ayden, etc." trend (all masculine names generally misspelled for girls). If you just happen to prefer a masculine name, that's perfectly fine, but don't abandon the actual spelling.

As to the mns, Christopher is obviously a familiar, traditional name (so I doubt anyone would say anything negative other than perhaps that it's a bit predictable), and I agree with a pp that I'd drop the "e" from the end of Brynne (actually, I'd drop the second "n" as well ... Bryn is very nice IMO). If you're set on "Jadyn" for a girl, however, I wouldn't pair it with Bryn(ne). The changed -yn ending alters the pronunciation to an exact rhyme of Bryn. So jaDYN BRYN just sounds redundant.
