Boy & Girl Name

Aprilmay5353

We have picked out our Boy name Caden Gene.  And our Girl name Tenley Paige.  We want some opinions on the names we are thinking about other than family.

Caden is ok, just NMS but not bad. Tinley is kind of terrible. Although it's better than Tinsley. I know one of those.

Neither is my style, but if you and your DH like them, that's what matters.

Both are incredibly trendy.  I'm so sick of the -aden thing going around.  It's boring and unoriginal.  Tenley is a weird made up cutesy name.  I don't like either.  Sorry.  Gene and Paige are nice.

They are way too trendy, not my style. The only name I like is Paige.

I've you settled on them then it's probably not a good idea to ask for opinions?

I really dislike them.

I like the boys name. Not a fan of Tenley. It's not horrible though

We don't have the same taste in names at all, so this may not be helpful for you.  But I really find both names to be very juvenile and trendy.

I agree with other posters that all the Aiden, Caden, Brayden, Jayden, Hayden, etc., names are REALLY getting old. I like Gene as a mn because I'm assuming it has significance, which is great!

Tenley - let me try to describe this. I don't believe that names have to be super traditional, but certain names (like Tenley) just sound made-up. It just comes off as a trashy, teen-mom kind of name.

I love Paige! What about Paige as the first name?

Other suggestions you might like, that are still legitimate names:

Girls-

Piper

Kiley

Teagan

Lacey

Brynn

Bree

Ainsley

Annabelle

Boys -

Caleb

Kellen

Rhys (this is the more traditional spelling of Reese)

Curtis

Blaze

Mason

Killian

Jordan

For me, I don't like the -aden names, and I think Gene Caden sounds better together.  Gene is very refreshing and I love the call-back to Gene Kelly.

I also prefer Paige Tenley.  Tenley for me makes me think of the tea - even though it's Tetley.

I like Paige.

Caden is overdone as a rhyme with Aiden. 

Gene is a good name, just not personally my style.  Very old man.  That's not bad, though!

Tenley is just juvenile.  It doesn't sound adult or mature.  It will be adorable on your three year old, but a burden to your thirty year old.

All of this, 100%.

I like Caden, but I'm not a fan of Tenley.
