Alexa -It's cute. I definitely prefer it to
Alexandra, though I think I like
Alexia the best of the
Alexander feminizations.
Brielle -I find the hard r- at the beginning hard to pronounce and I hate
Bree, but
Ella as a nickname could be nice.
Caden -It's obviously because of the -aden popularity, so it's very one timey to me. It does sound quite nice though.
Jaxon -I love Jax, but
Jaxon seems like it's trying too hard.
Jayla -I'm not sure about the -la ending on this one. It just seems awkward. I adore
Jay for a boy though.
Jenna -It doesn't actually seem modern to me, just like a nickname for
Jennifer, so there's that. I prefer
Jen.
Paisley -The pattern? Uh, no.
Piper -I've always liked this one. I wouldn't use it, but it's cute and I think it ages well.
Ryder -Just spell it Rider and be done with it!
Ryder is just awkward. But please, Rider sucks as well.
Sawyer -It's cute for a boy to an extent, but it seems very
Tom Sawyer to me.
Summer -I prefer winter. It also kind of sounds like "Some are...".
Tristan -It sounds nice (reminds me of bakeries for some reason) but the meaning throws me off.
Zoey -This is second only to Zooey as the worst spelling of
Zoe ever.
