Possible baby names

taylor.1424

My husband and I are brainstorming baby names, and I wanted to get some feedback to see what people thought.

Girl:  Lienna Grace or Paysen Avery

Boy:  Jaxen Allen

 (Allen as the middle name for the first-born son is a tradition in my husband's family)

 I would love to hear your thoughts or any other suggestions that you might have.  TIA!

I love Grace and I love the family significance of Allen. But the other names...not so much.

You do realize that if you spell Jackson as Jaxen, it is still pronounced Jackson. There is no reason to be creative with spelling. Poor kid will never get one of those name license plates or cups at the gift shop when you travel.

I like Lianna Grace (rather than changing the spelling to Lienna) and I like Payton Avery (not Payson, sounds like something you do to the paper boy...pay the son)!

I like Jackson (or even Jaxon) Allen and not the changed spelling of Jaxen.

The changing of spellings do not give you a different name (except in case of Payson) but just appear that you were trying too hard to be unique with a popular trendy name.  I say, just use the correct or common spelling and own it.  I do like the choice of names though...especially the girls names.  Jackson is okay and a dime a dozen right now.  Again, I think the girls names are lovely but maybe would consider a different boys name.  Boys are so hard though!  We are having a tough time!

Lienna Grace - I don't like the first name, all I see is LIE-na. Grace is ok.

Payson Avery - Not a fan at all. Avery is too popular.

Jaxen Allen - Where do I start? I don't like the spelling of Jackson or the double -en of the first/middle names. I really like Allen though.

I like Allen. Grace is fine.

Lienna Grace: Not too bad. I think you'll spend a lot of time explaining the first name because no one will have heard it before, but at least it's sort of pretty. Consider Lianna, Liora, and Linnea as alternatives. Grace is fine. A little boring, but fine.

Payson Avery: I would assume that this child is a boy, not a girl. If you are going to use a masculine name like Payson or Avery, pair it with a feminine name to give people a clue.

Jaxsen Allen: Allen is fine. Jaxsen is an illiterate-looking mess. Jackson Allen is fine.

I don't like Paysen, so I'll vote for Lienna Grace by default. How are you pronouncing Lienna? LEE- enna?

Hate Jaxen.

I only like Grace.  Paysen and Jaxen are terrible.
