Baby Names
Feedback on possible baby names?
We really like Kaden Allan if we have a boy, and Aislynn Kendre if it's a girl. What do you think?

Re: Feedback on possible baby names?
Or how do you pronounce Aislynn?
Both are NMS. They both violate my personal baby name rule: no trendy styles. IE rhymes with "Aiden" or has a Y in the middle.
That being said, the first/middle names are awkward to say together, theres no flow.
Ken-drEE
Both boys and girls names are Gaelic in origin so we know the pronunciation/spelling are "different" which is part of our concern with them despite the fact that we like them.
The style of name will turn alot of these veteran posters off so I doubt you'll get any constructive criticism
With that being said, I don't think the names flow very well and I think "Allan" looks better spelled 'Alan' or 'Allen'.
I'm not familiar with 'Kendre' (and its NMS) but maybe spelling it 'Kendrie' would cut down on the mispronounciation. If you really like your girl's name, how about Kendrie Aislynn? (seems to flow better)
The boys names are fine, but I prefer Caden to Kaden.
Aislynn doesn't seem too "different" to me, but I have a friend named Aisling otherwise I would probably have trouble spelling or pronouncing it.
Kendre really just looks like a misspelling of Kendra to me.
Huh, I actually think that some of the veteran posters are extremely thorough and constructive in their feedback.
Neither are my style at all.
BUT PLEASE do NOT name your son anything name that ends in -aden. It is the most popular, overused, annoying naming trend out there! I am a teacher, trust me!
Yep. Kaden is the epitome of trendy.
I know a Kaden so while I don't think it's awful, I would prefer Caden.
I actually kinda like Kendre. Aislynn not so much.
These are not Gaelic names. Both Kaden and Aislynn are modern English inventions.
There is an Irish surname, Caden, that is said to be derived from the Gaelic MacCadain, but that's a pretty far stretch, IMO, to Kaden.
There is also an Irish name, Aisling, which has it's roots in Gaelic. It's pronounced ash-ling, which I doubt is what you're going for with Aislynn.

I don't like either.
I know that isn't the advice you're looking for, but I want to be honest. I am a teacher, and I see the NEGATIVE side effects on children from having obscure and hard to recognize names.
If you're trying to honor your heritage, try something that is a little more traditional but still Gaelic.
where'd you get this information from? I'm not sure it is correct.
I don't like any of the names, except for Allan as a MN. I wouldn't know how to pronounce or spell either of the girl's names, and I think Kaden will be forever thought of as a "baby born in the year 2011". Sort of like Tiffany from the 90's. If it were spelled Tiffanie.
my friend has a daughter named Aislynn Rayne
I love the name and thinnk you should stick with it!! They call their daught Aisy for short which is so adorable. she is 5 now and the name is growing with her rather than her out growing it.
