    As an older berry I would like to help you make choices that will pass the test of time. For example many non nameberries think that if they add a 'y' that it makes the name more interesting and unique (yooneek) but this is seldom the case.

    I think that Bay on its own is a better choice than the dated Bailie.

    Emerson spelt like this is a modern choice but very similar to the uber popular Emma and this may be her nn so you should consider whether you would like her to be in with a bunch of Emma's or Em's.

    Instead of Avery which feel is a surname that hasn't quite made it into the girl list, although you will find a lot of berries who like it so it isn't a definite no, yet I would prefer Ainsley or if you don't mind the very popular Ava she would make a pretty choice.

    Adeline is the classic way to spell Addalyn and it is still pronounced the same way but it looks much better, again you have to decide whether this name is for you as Adeline may be included with the trendy Addison which is a shame as it is a very pretty name. I also like Adelina or Adele and Delta.

    Kinslie sounds Scottish but not quite I am not onboard with this although I do like Kendall.

    Cadence is pretty but Kaydence is horrible (sorry) and then there is the pretty Candace too.

    Kambrie looks like some kind of cheese and reminds me of Cameron and I understand that the feminine form can be Camryn (this may be of interest?)

    Tatum is boyish but Tamsin isn't and I think has the same vibe.

    I like Avalon, Bellamy, Paisley and Xanthe too.

    I like all the boys names especially Jensen and Mason.

    I was just going to share my thoughts but 'sheflyswithherownwings' said it almost perfectly. You really need to reconsider most of your names. My one addition is that I am less critical of Addelyn. While it is still somewhat of a mess, if you want the 'y' to be pronounced with an 'i' as in 'fish' sound, it makes a little more sense to me. I do think it's a pretty pronunciation. Grace is also a beautiful middle.

    May I beg you not to use Kinslie, Kaydence and Kambrie?

    How is Avery still on your list? You mentioned in a previous post that Waverly might not work because you have a niece called Averly. I understand how you wouldn't want to add a letter for your daughters name, but you are okay with taking one away? Seems odd.

    I also am not a fan of the creative spelling of most of your list. I like a lot of the names themselves though. Since you mentioned you wanted a known but not too popular name it feels like the spelling is an attempt to make it less popular. Which in a lot of the cases wouldn't necessarily be the case. In my opinion there are just to many "y"'s floating around. Interestingly enough you only seem to be into creative spellings for girls as your boys choices are fairly traditional in choice and spelling.

    You'll find a * behind names I like.

    Girls Middle name will either be Nicole,Denise,or Grace*
    Avery - too close to Averly imo.
    Baylie (my favorite so far) - prefer Bailey by a landslide. Baylie makes me think you misspelled Bay-leaf (or Bayleaf) which I actually quite like - which surprises me.
    Emersyn - I prefer Emerson and on a boy.
    Emery - Prefer Emory also on a boy.
    Rylie - prefer Riley also on a boy (ooo me-thinks there is a trend)
    Addalyn - prefer Adeline or even Adelaide* (which allows for the cute nn Ladie/y*).
    Kinslie - Kinsley I think is the more traditional spelling. I'm fairly neutral on this name.
    Kaydence - prefer Cadence which is much prettier. It's a word name and misspelling it doesn't do it justice. however, nms.
    Kambrie - nms. (This is going to sound harsh and it's not meant that way but I don't think I'd consider this name for a pet let alone a child). It sounds like a muddled up version of Cambridge ->Cambrie ->Kambrie
    Tatum* - very cute.

    Boys Middle names will either be Matthew* or David*
    Easton* - nice solid and traditional.
    Mason - Reminds me of the Mason Business School but otherwise I like it.
    Hayden - Hay den as in a barn filled with hay where young lovers go to play. If I could only stop thinking that I'd say it's a great name.
    Logan* - LOVE.
    Jensen - Reminds me of the upscale jewelry designer George Jensen.
    Aurelia - Coralie - Elva - Illyria - Lorelei - Loretta - Merida - Ofelia/Ophelia - Tabitha - Viola - Wisteria
    Alaric - Anton - Emmett - Erich - Felix - Hugo - Ludwig - Oscar/Osgar - Tristan - Victor - Vincent

    Please don't name your child Kinslie. I just can't imagine an adult with that name.
    However, I really like Tatum Grace or Adeline Grace. I also love the name Cambrie when spelled with a C. Cambrie Grace is cute.
    For the boys, Jensen Matthew is adorable. Easton Matthew is cute too.
