I don't personally care for the spelling of Cheyanne. I much prefer the spelling of Cheyenne. Though in general I find the name Cheyenne a bit weird since it is the name of an American Indian language. I mean it also is the name of a city and I assume that was why the name originally became so popular in the 1990's.

Cheyanne / Cheyenne is not my style. I like Ethan but it's too popular for my tastes. I really like Logan. I've liked it since I was a little kid before it was popular. It always reminds me of Loganberries.

I'm sorry but I'm not fond of the sibset of Ethan, Logan and Cheyanne / Cheyenne. Ethan goes well with Logan, and Cheyenne goes well with Logan. But Ethan does not match well with Cheyenne / Cheyanne.

Ethan feels snooty, posh, sophisticated and the name of an upper class person from either the East or West Coast. Cheyenne seems like a very down to earth cowboy, rancher type person who lives in the Dakota's or Wyoming or Montana and comes from a lower income family. Logan has always been a name that I feel could go either way. Logan could be down to earth or posh. And Logan could be from a low or high or middle income family. I can see a Logan coming from any part of the country.

The only place where a sibset of Ethan, Logan and Cheyanne kind of works is if they are from California or maybe Arizona or Texas. By that I mean those are the three states that when I hear that sibset I can imagine them all being from.

Sorry I don't mean any of this to be offensive. It's just a very unusual sibset combination. I hope I wasn't too negative, I don't hate any of these names. Also congrats to your cousin on her new daughter.
