HelpWhich name to go best with my other kids' names.
If I have another daughter (and I had it my way) her name will be Willow.
But if I have another son, I am not sure which name I like best out of these.
Jasper
Phoenix
Jacob
Oliver
Daniel
Ayden
Caden
Which do you prefer? (my kids' names are Hayley, Skye and Nathan)

Jacob, Daniel, or Oliver
Nathan is a strong, traditional boy name. Jasper is flimsy, Phoenix is trendy, and Ayden and Caden are both trendy and flimsy. Jacob, Daniel, and Oliver are timeless and strong, just like Nathan, and also go well with Hayley and Skye.

I'd say that Jacob fits the best with Hayley, Skye, and Nathan, but I prefer Daniel to Jacob in general, so I would probably go with Daniel.
Ayden and Caden definitely fit with Hayley and Nathan, but I find Ayden and Caden too close to Nathan.
Phoenix and Oliver are my favorites even though they don't fit with your kids' names as well as some of the others. Daniel Phoenix would be a cool combo.
Jasper works, too.

I think I prefer Phoenix, but I'd like Felix better.....
My reasoning: All your kid's names have long vowels in common, the only exception being the last syllable of Nathan. But two of the names, Hayley and Nathan begin with a long "a" sound. For the sake of variety, I would therefore eliminate Jacob, Ayden, and Caden from your list--They're all too repetitive of this sound. But on the other hand, Jasper, Oliver and Daniel all lack any long vowel sounds at all, making them outliers in your naming pattern.
I agree that Willow is a perfect blend for your sibset, but I would recommend that you keep looking for a boy's name that's a better fit. Eli or Milo, maybe?

Love Willow. It's my cats name. Her nn is Wills (and sometimes Willsy)
As for the boys, Jasper is my favourite but Oliver is my favourite with your other kids names. Love both and either would be great.
I kinda like Phoenix, but I feel like it clashes with Nathan. Have you thought about Felix?
I know brothers named Aiden and Nathan. They are a little similar sounding for me, and I can't stand the y spelling.
Jacob, Daniel and Caden are nice enough, just SUPER boring.

Your kids all have pretty common/popular/trendy names.
Personally, I think Willow would be a disaster for a girl. (2/3 of them would have nature/word names, singling out Hayley).
From the boys names, I'd say you should with either Jacob or Phoenix. You should avoid Ayden (otherwise 3/4 kids will have a "y," singling out Nathan).

I think Jasper works best but on saying that I love Jasper. So I might be Bias.
I think Phoenix would be my second choice.

I only like Phoenix, Jacob, Jasper and Oliver. I think they all work with your other kids names, but I think Jasper goes a little better with them than the rest.

I'd say

Jasper [m]
I think Jasper fits best with the names of your other children. I also like the Danish form Jesper. After Jasper, I would pick Daniel.
I like Oliver, but it doesn't fit with the names of his potential siblings. Phoenix is too "out there" compared to the others; if you wanted to go with something edgier, I would go with something low-key. Phoenix is very bright and shouty. I don't like Jacob -- could never get past the "cob" part, not to mention the fact that it's one of the top names in the US right now. Ayden is so trendy looking ... Aidan would be more acceptable. Same with Caden, but that's even more trendy and flash-in-the-pan.

Possibly Ayden.

That is exactly how I feel. I think Jasper or Phoenix go the best but I think Ayden and Caden go okay.
I think Jasper is my favorite because it is a nature name but it isn't an overly obvious nature name so If you someday had a Willow it would go well. Jasper has become a fairly used name especially in England but it isn't overly used so it matches well with Hayley, Skye and Nathan. I like Phoenix but it's a bit flashy compared to your other names.

I'd go with Oliver.
