Paigan is all kinds of wrong...
Don't get me wrong, Ellexis and Zakariya are ridiculous, but Paigan?!

I've seen Paigan in old records before. Pagan was used in Old English naming somewhat frequently. The modern meaning of it is fairly new. There's lots of surnames derived from it, I sort of wonder if Paigan is perhaps a family surname or the like.

How do you even win "Child of the Year"?
Anyway...
Girls
Indigo-Violet - A bit too colorful for me, but I like the names on their own.
Maileigh-Rae - Atrocious spelling, but a very pretty sound. Maylis is one of my faves. Wait.... does she mean Miley or Maylis??? Hmm.
Everly (x2) - Very pretty. Though, I can't help remembering the Everly Brothers.
Primrose - Slightly pretentious, but pretty.
Lourdes - I have trouble pronouncing this name, but love the written look.
Precious-Rose - too much. Too, too much.
Fiora - Adorable.
Lillith - I like it. Happy to see it over Lily right now.
Dollie - Hmm. Not sure I like it. Eh, too childish.
Paigan - as in, heathen 1; especially : a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome) or, 2.: one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person. ? Yeah. no.
Elcie - Aww. I like Elsie a lot. This is not the best spelling, but the name is cute.
Ellexis- No. I would rather see Elixir as a legit name over this misspelling.
Vivaan- I actually like it. I Feel like it might be legit... maybe not.
Romany- Pretty, but I like it better on boys.
Taitum- Underused, but also a no frills sound. Not a fan, but like to see it.
Eeva- Hmm. I am not sure. I like Eva, and this looks cool. But, I generally think alternative (non legit) spellings are not a good thing.
Boys
Zebalon - Zebulon would have been cool. This is not.
Zakariya - I love Zechariah! Why change such a spunky moniker?
Dontello - Hehe. I have a fish with this name.
Oakley (x2) - Hmm. I see this more as a girls name, ala Annie. But, not bad.
Ian - I like it, a lot.
