I voted for Alexis by default. It was the only one not trendy and spelled correctly. I think you have some other good ones in there, but the jumble of letters are horrible. Spell the names traditionally - please!

All of this. 100%
Same Same
Hah, same, as long as your DH doesn't suddenly likes Alexxys better.

I love Natalie, but I would use the correct spelling. Listen, I'm a high school teacher. I teach a handful of kids whose parents used "creative/alternative" spellings for their names. The kids universally HATE that their parents did this. It causes problems later because people are always misspelling the name, and it's just a drag.
Are you intentionally choosing names that are really popular? Because in my area, most of these names are SUPER-trendy right now. If you're choosing these because you think they're really unusual, you might want to rethink your choices.
I would have voted Natalie or Brooke, but the spelling of Natalie was a mess and I hate Brooklyn. So I voted Madelyn, which was the best combination of a name I didn't dislike and a spelling that wasn't too awful.
Yeah, you'd probably get more accurate feedback if you used the traditional spelling for each name (whether or not you intend to use said spelling). For instance, I like Natalie, but Natalee makes me cringe. Unless you're trying to force the poll to the very few names you spelled normally.

Re: Girl Name Clicky
We have very different styles. I couldn't vote.
I would easily, hands-down vote for Brooke, but I really hate Brooklyn.

Agreed.

Normal spellings would make the majority of your names significantly better.
But I wasn't terribly bothered by Madelyn.
Natalee is really bad spelled that way.
I hate the made-up spellings.
I LOVE Natalie spelled correctly.

This. I couldn't vote either. I love the name Natalie but not the way you are spelling it.
Totally this.
Some of those names are so pretty when spelled correctly! Why do people have this strange impulse to have such bizarre spellings??
Pretty much everything that the PPs said...
I voted for Madeline (not a fan of spelling it other ways)
My goofy little blog
This exactly.
I would have voted for Natalie if it were spelled properly, so I just passed on voting. The rest are totally NMS
This. Exactly!
I voted for this, but ditto PP...
That list is a whole lot of NMS.
If it were a choice, I'd vote for Madeleine.
I like Madeline and Natalie (spelled this way). Madelyn isn't terrible but I prefer Madeleine if you are going for the -lyn sound. Good luck.
I voted Alexis by default. I'm not overly find of Alexis, but I prefer traditional spellings.

Ditto.
