Okay...it has been quite a while since I have been on these boards, but I have been reading all of the suggested baby names just to get some idea of what to name a little girl......I have 4 boys so this has been quit a chore...... I love the name Emily but since that is the #1 name, I do not want to go that route and have her be 1 of 4 Emilys in her class when that time comes. So I go my hubby to go through the baby name book last night and mark names that he liked.....

I agree with the other posters that have said that Madalyn is a pretty popular name. Just b/c it is not spelled "Madeline", doesn't mean that it's not, in essence, the same name. Also, I have seen the name suggested on the board with that spelling many times.


Madalyn, Madison, Madisyn, etc really do nothing for me- but that's just my personal opinion

"Why?" is a question of infinite proportion...

I don't mind Kaylyn but I think you'll have similar popularity/trendiness issues. There are so many homophones for this one that you'd have trouble even adding them all up to figure out the real popularity. The spelling is also quite trendy w/ "k" and the "y's". I think either name is fine but you ought to be aware of the popularity thing. Good luck!

I like the name Kaylyn - you don't hear it much. Just go with the name you really like. What's popular in one part of the country isn't in the others.

Ex. I too have a Hunter who was named after my 38 year old cousin. Well back then, that name wasn't around at all....It's around here in Chicago, but we only know one, so really not that popular here at all. And I haven't heard of any Kaylyn's - I think it's pretty

When I see your Kristy and Cale, my first thought for combining them would be Calista.

I like Kaylyn much more than Madalyn personally. Have you considered spelling it Kaylen or Kaelyn instead? They might be more visually appealing. I really do like the name, though. : )

I LOVE pp's suggestion of Callista, I think that's a much prettier name than Kaylyn. It is also not trendy, and I think it reflects the 2 individual names (Cale and Kristy) better.

Just my opinion!
