Ayva is a new entry in the popular Ava and Eva cluster.  Its only advantage over the original is that it clarifies pronunciation....but that's not much of a problem if you simply spell it Ava.

Ayva

This variation of Madelyn has the trendier -nn suffix and ranks lower than the single -n ending. Regardless of what spelling you use, however, when you combine all the variations together, names from the Madeline family are given to nearly 10,000 babies every year in the US. Whatever spin you put on it then, there will still be plenty of other Maddys running round the playgrounds in the next few years, making it feel more like a Top 10 option than it really is. Not necessarily a bad thing - it is a great name after all with plenty of elegance, sweetness and spirit. It's just worth remembering that tweaking the spelling won't make it stand out when its called.

Madilynn

Kaidence is a newly-introduced variation of musical, rhythmic Cadence. Kaidence entered the Top 1000 in 2013, the same year it was rumored to be the frontrunner for Kim and Kanye's daughter. (It was wrong, of course - Kim and Kanye named their daughter North.)
 
The trouble with the Kaidence spelling -- or should we say, one of the troubles -- is that it introduces pronunciation confusion. Does the first syllable rhyme with may or my? The advantage of Kaidence is that the short form can more plausibly be Kai, fresher than Kady or Kay.
