For girls- not crazy about some of your spellings sorry....I prefer Emmaline and Annalise (not lease) and Rylan is cute but I'd like it better with a more feminine middle name at least- Rylan Bryce sounds like a boy's name. What about Rylan Rose, Rylan Grace, Rylan Elizabeth, Rylan Marie? And though I like Annalise I don't like the mn you picked (maybe because Elise is a form of Elizabeth so to me it sounds strange)

I guess for girls I like Rylan the best (but with one of the mn's I suggested)

For boys I actually like all three equally!

Thanks! I like your spelling of Annalise better! We were having a tough time coming up with a mn to go with it and Elizabeth is my mothers mn, so just a thought! Emalyn, however, is our fave for a baby girl (em-a-lyn)! We fell in love with it because we love to watch Army Wives and my grandmother's name is Emily and his is Carolyn, so we thought that worked out nicely! Emmaline sounds sort of hick(ish) IMO?? I actually never considered Bryce for a girl until i read on here that most people found it to be more feminine and couldn't place it as a boys name. I do like Rylan Elizabeth though! DH prefers Rylan Kate!

I like Emalyn and Annalise (spelled like this), but not Rylan

For your boys I like Hudson Reid, not the others

Emmaline sounds hickish to you? That's hilarious. I know hick, and Emmaline is not hick. It's Southern. Don't know where you live, but there is a big difference between the two.

I don't love Rylan but I do think it works better for a girl than a boy, but I've never heard Bryce for a girl, and it's too many Ys for me.

I love Annalise spelled that way.

I like both of your boy names except Maxon--that seems like a creative name and spelling gone bad. "Jackson/Jaxon was too popular and we really like the nickname Max." Maybe it's a real name, but it doesn't look/sound real to me. The other two, like I said, I like.

I like Annaliese and Hudson.

I really dislike Maxon --sounds too much like it should be Mason or Max not a combo of both.

Taylor is ok but too unisex for me--I know more girls named Taylor than boys.

I do not like any of them except Elizabeth!

This exactly. You have some nice names.

GulfCoaster · August 2009

I like Emmaline and Annalise/Annaliese, spelled that way. Emalyn and Annalease just look wrong to me, especially Annalease, which looks too much like the word "lease". If you're insistent on spelling it in a way to make clear that the pronunciation is emma-lynn, not emmileen, try Emmalyn. The extra M makes it look better.

Rylan Bryce is very androgynous, and NMS at all.

None of your boys names are my style, and Maxon looks odd -- as PP said, it looks like a combination of Mason and Max.

Girls- Sorry, but I think all of those spellings are awful. ?Rylan was a girl on Toddlers & Tiara's this week, which automatically ruins the name. ?Plus RylanD is a major home builder in a lot of areas. ?Annalease? ?Why not just spell it correctly?

Boys- Hudson is okay. ?Not a fan of Maxon or Taylor, they're both a little femme.?

jennicg27 · August 2009

I like Emalyn and Annalise, and I like Hudson Reid.

shopgirl_07 · August 2009

It's spelled Anneliese. I don't like any other spelling.

mgra328 · August 2009

I like Annalise or Annaliese. I don't love any of the boy names, but if I had to pick I'd go with Hudson.

Taylor is DH's ffirst name, so we thought we would try to use it! We were not sold on the idea though since he goes by his mn!

FMIL&MOB · August 2009

Annalise and Hudson Reid.

CourtneyRDH · August 2009

NMS at all. Bryce for a girl? I really don't like that. I know Taylor is unisex, but I can see kids making fun of your DS for having a "girls" name since it is a lot more common for girls now.

lmg042307 · August 2009

Thanks for your opinions!

carladillon · August 2009

Rylan and Hudson

Poplin2007 · August 2009

Hudson Reid is nice. Maxon looks/sounds made up and Taylor is too androgynous for my liking.

I'm not really a fan of your girls' names...
