Names ending in "en"

Ashbritenden

I have 2 boys with names that end in "en,"and we want our third child to end in "en" as well, or the sound for a girl (yn, in, etc.).
Any ideas?

This is what I've come up with:
Adalyn
Madalyn
Braylen (soso on that one)
*Girls middle name will be Nichole after me*

Aiden
Colten (husband doesn't like )

I have a Colten and he loves it.  He loves that his teachers refer to him as "Colten with an E" because there are 4 Coltons in his class.  LOL

I LOVE Madalyn.  I've always loved that name and think it sounds great with Nicole.

We have a rule not to criticize already-named children. Names you're tossing around are fair game, however And giving us names of your current children will help us with your naming style.

We also frown upon made up spellings, so you won't get much love for Adalyn, Madalyn, Braylen, and Colten. You will get a lot of love for Madeline/Madeleine, which are properly spelled and still give you the sound you're looking for. You may even get some love for Colton.

Other options:

Girls: Ceridwen, Eden, Ellen, Evelyn, Fallon, Helen, Imogen, Jocelyn, Karen, Katherine, Lauren, Maren, Vivian, Wren, Taryn

Boys: Aidan, Brendan, Donovan, Evan, Ethan, Eamon, Gavin, Ian, Kellen, Oren, Odin, Riordan, Stephen/Steven, Ciaran, Nathan, Warren

I like Adalyn the most from your girls list, not a fan of the boys names (Aiden is too common/overused for me)

Boys:
Bowen
Callen
Owen
Cullen
Carson (same sound just not en, or misspelled version Karsen)
Ruben
Rylen
Rowen
Camden
Kaden
Brennen
Bensen

Girls:
Eden
Emmalyn
Rosalyn
Taryn
Elin
Jordyn
Bryn
Jocelyn
Gracelyn
Jaylin
Jasmin
Gwendolyn
Braelyn
Addisyn
Ashlyn

I have to say it's totally not my thing at all but I tried to be as helpful as possible

Aidan is nice. I really like Madeline.

Ideas:

Evelyn

Meghan

Gwendolyn

Cocoasushi

The only ones I can think of are people I actually know, lol. Eden, Adrienne, and Gretchen for girls and Damien and Jordan for boys.

I love Madalyn for a girl, whatever way you choose to spell it.

My favorites from the above suggestions:

Girl

Evelyn
Vivian
Jordyn
Jasmin


Boy

Donovan
Gavin
Kellen
Rylen


I'd stay away from names that start with A or B because you already have one of those each. And if they are in that order you listed, I'd stay away from C too, you don't want your kids looking like the alphabet!

Girls names are NMS, but I will suggest Arden or PP's suggestion of Eden. 

Love PP's suggestion of Kellen for a boy.

3 kids ending in "en" in awfully matchy. No desire to branch out?

DS's MN is Alden which is a correctly spelled name but it may be too close to Austen. My nephew is Kellan (you can use the Kellen spelling if you prefer) but I love that name as well. I do not care for your girl choices at all. I don't like misspelled names just to make a "theme". It me its very juvenile. I will however throw out names that end the sound you want but I cannot misspell them without aggravating my MS

Alden
Kellen
Adrian
Gavin
Rowan
Ronan
Brendan
Landon

Karen
Lauren
Roslyn
Jocelyn
Madeleine (yes you can pronounce it with the "Lyn" sound)
Carolyn
Allison
Catherine/Katherine
Magdalene

For a boy, I'd add the suggestions Holden and Camden. For a girl, cross Braylen off the list (too close to Bryden and frankly just ugly).

I think everyone so far as suggested some pretty good names. 

I would cross Braylen off your list. It's way too similar to Bryden. Not fair to kiddo number 3.

This exactly.

The matching is just a "thing" in both of our families. My cousins kids names have the same ending, husbands cousins names all start with the same letter (all Ks, even with different parents. Kinda weird). We like it thank you ladies for all the suggestions! And for pointing out what I was worried about with Braylen

Eden, Arden, Ellen for girls....

My nephews names are Brennan and Kellen, and I'm not normally a fan of names that end in en/an/on but I love the sound of those.

I can't really think of any girls names ending with -en that I like, and even less for -yn.

Karen, maybe. I don't see many people naming their girls that much anymore, even though it used to be popular.

Lauren is the only -en name I can really think of that I like. My name is Karen and I have always just felt kind of meh about it.
