If you already have a DD named after a city I would definitely avoid Austin and Dallas (yikes). Braedyn and Bentley are pretty bad. Brandon would be nice, but Brandynn is pretty bad.
Jackson and Blake are the only two I would honestly consider. Jackson is overly popular, but nice and spelled correctly. Blake is a little less popular, but then you would have a "B" matching thing going on with your kiddos.
Braedyn: not a fan of the Braiden trend and especially not with this spelling.
Austin: This would be the next OK one.
Dallas: This has so many associations - I just don't think it should be a name.
Blake: This would be my third choice but I still dislike it.
Brandynn: If you use Brandon, why not spell it correctly?
Sorry if I sound harsh but a lot of these names will provide your child with certain stereotypes and like I said in your last post, I'm not a fan of themed siblings.
Definitely not: Brandynn, Braedyn, Dallas or Bentley
Austin wouldn't be so bad if you didn't already have a child named after a city.
I suppose Jackson and Blake are tied for being the lesser of the evils here. I'm not a huge fan of Jackson but I'm not sure about Blake and Brooklynn as a sibset.

Braedyn and Brandynn seem very feminine, IMO, or at least those particular spellings do. I prefer Blake of all your names but honestly, none is my style. Sorry.

Thank you! It looks like you tried to turn them into girl's name by changing the spelling. I really don't understand the need to make your DS's name match you DD's, does this not look odd to you:
Happy Hollidays, love mom, dad, Brooklynn and Brandynn!
Its to much, I also went with Blake since I am also sick of Jackson.
I really like Brandon, but don't really like siblings with the same first letter, so Jackson gets my vote. I agree with PP that you should stay away from Austin or Dallas with a DD named Brooklynn.
Brandon is one of my favorite boy names, but honestly that spelling ruins it! It takes a nice, strong masculine name and makes it girly. Your daughter's name is feminine, let your son's name be masculine.
The best (of the worst) IMO are Austin and Jackson, but they are both so painfully trendy. I feel like every other baby boy I know is named Jackson.
The last one with the Y and 2 N's (I can't even remember what it is now) is NOT good for a boy. Yikes. I don't like alternative spellings, especially for a boy. I think he'd be teased for life with that one.
I voted for Jackson because I've always liked that name - however, I agree that it's becoming overly popular. It's off our list because my brother and my husband's cousin both just named their sons Jackson/Jack.
I'm not a fan of weird spellings - honestly, I think they often just look ridiculous and will give the poor child headaches all of his life.
When I hear the name "Austin" I relate it to the early 90's - sort of like Stephanie or Brittany for a girl. I may be way off, but for that reason I don't like it.
I know I'm in the minority, but I kind of like Bentley. It's not on our personal list as we are going for more classic names. I also don't mind Dallas, although I would avoid another city name if I already had a child named Brooklyn.

Jackson: the only one I thought was OK
Bentley: Not at all - too pretentious.
Braedyn: not a fan of the Braiden trend and especially not with this spelling.

Out of your choices, I would say
1. Jackson
2. Austin
3. Blake
The rest, not at all.
Good luck.
Jackson or Brandon.
You'll find the ladies on this board aren't fans of you-neek spellings. Your child would have to spell his name every. time. Not fun.

I really don't like any, but I picked Blake.
I am extremely sick of Jackson.

Jackson ? Nice enough but it's way too common and I think a city name is too much if you already have Brooklynn.
Bentley ? No. Too Teen Mom.
Braedyn ? No way. It seems made up and spelled wrong.
Austin ? No.
Dallas ? No.
Blake ? Best choice on the list.
Brandynn ? Definitely not. It looks made up. Just name him Brandon.
Jackson ? Despite not liking place names, I like this, but it's too popular.
Bentley ? All that comes to mind is a car. Not a fan.
Braedyn ? Ew. No.
Austin ? No; don't like place names.
Dallas ? Still don't like place names.
Blake ? NMS, but it's not terrible.
Brandynn ? Wth? This is atrocious. Just spell it correctly.
The only ones I think are passable are: Jackson, Brandon, Blake
I couldn't vote for any of those.
