Are there any spellings of these names you really hate? Or any endings, letter combinations you really hate and why?
Haylee- the ee ending looks nicknamey

Carlee- ditto
Kaitlin- Why change one letter?
Caelin or Kaylin- jut not liking the i in there
Alicen- should be pronnounced "AL-eh-KEN"
Jaeden/ Jaedan/ Jadyn/ Jaidyn etc.- unnecessarily trendy
Kaiden/ Kayden/ Cayden- too girly
Haiden- just strange
Aaden/ Aaden/ Ayden- why two A's? And the y is unneeded
Kathryn/ Cathryn- the y is strange
Bryana/ Bryanna etc.- ditto
Zoie/ Zowie/ Zooey- should be pronounced ZOW-ee and ZOO-ee
Mak-AY-la- all the tryndee spellings
