Hayley Dawn - I strongly dislike Hayley/Hailey/Haley, etc.. It is WAY too common and I don't think it sounds pretty. Dawn is beautiful in the right combo
Rhona Fern - um..Rhona? seems really strange. I guess it just isn't my style. Fern isn't my style either.
Teagan Skye - pretty!
Kaylin Noelle - Not my style
Madelyn Faith - Pretty! not my favorite spelling, but beautiful sound and flow!
Cadence Ivy - I like it. I think there would be some better options instead of Ivy, but it is still pretty.
Sadie Melissa - Love Sadie! not a fan of Melissa
Sydney Aurora - I love this combo! I love Sydney.

Eden Olivia
Eden Violet
Madison Violet
Lauren Violet



Connor Aidan - I like it! Aiden isn't my style, but it sounds handsome with Connor.
Lucas Noah - I really like this one. I love Lucas! I think Noah is handsome, but being a teacher I have bad personal connotations. But love the combo!
Jonah Ethan - I like it! I think there would be some things I'd like better than Ethan with Jonah, but it sounds nice still.
Ryan Seth - I love this! I'd actually prefer Seth Ryan, but this is handsome as well.
Kian Scott - Kian sounds a bit feminine for my taste. Scott is nice, but kind of boring.

Aaron Finlay

Connor Devon
Seth Aaron
Brody Scott

Thanks Sierra! Feedback always really helps me. I'm not sure about Rhona because lots of people are quite skeptical about it but I quite like it because it is a Scottish name and I am a Scot :)

Hayley Dawn - I love Hayley, I think it's sweet, and this is my favourite spelling. Not a fan of Dawn, but the names go well together, and I can see it being cute on someone else's kid, just not mine lol (7/10)
Rhona Fern - Honestly, I have an issue with Rhona, but I have no idea why. Maybe it's the sound, or the look, but I just don't like it. Fern is cute though (5/10)
Teagan Skye - Not a fan of Teagan, but Skye is cute; though I prefer it for a boy (5/10)
Kaylin Noelle - Kaylin has been growing on me recently, and Noelle is gorgeous. I think this is a very cute combo (8/10)
Madelyn Faith - I like both names, but this isn't my favourite combo (7/10)
Cadence Ivy - Cadence is getting pretty popular nowadays, but Ivy is still relatively unused. I quite like this combo, although neither are my favourite names (6/10)
Sadie Melissa - I like Sadie, but I've never liked Melissa; it just seems so dated, and I can't like it, no matter how hard I try. The combo goes okay, but it's not the best (5/10)
Sydney Aurora - Not really a fan of Sydney, and although I love Aurora, it's difficult for me to say lol. Quite a nice combo though (5/10)

Lauren - Not a fan of Lauren. To me it just seems dated, but tbh I've never really been enamoured with it (3/10)
Eden - I like this name, although I'm not sure I could use it. The nickname Edie is cute (7/10)
Maria - I don't like this name, although it's not terrible (4/10)
Violet - Love Violet (9/10)
Anya - Do you pronounce this AHN-ya or AN-ya? I like the AN-ya prn, but not really a fan of the other one (6/10)
Madison - Not a fan of this, it just seems to popular and trendy, and I'm not really into most of those names (3/10)
Joanna - I kind of like this; primarily because of the character from The Hunger Games, but yeah. Not one of my favourite (5/10)
Leah - It's cute, but I find it a bit meh, I don't know why (5/10)
Laria (Lar-eye-a) - At first glance I'd pronounce it Lar-ee-a, but Lar-eye-a is cute too (5/10)
Hazel - Love it (10/10)

Connor Aidan - I love Aiden (spelled Aden), but Connor is just meh for me (7/10)
Lucas Noah - Cute combo. I can see it aging well, and the nicknames Luca or Luke are cute (7/10)
Jonah Ethan - Two names I like, but I'm not sure they go that well together (7/10)
Ryan Seth - Again, I like both names, but they don't really flow that well to me (6/10)
Kian Scott - Kian has been growing on me, but Scott isn't my favourite (6/10)

Stuart - Not a fan of this, it just reminds me of the mouse lol (3/10)
Murray - I don't like this either, mainly because I had a horrid teacher who's surname was Murray (3/10)
Finlay - Prefer spelling Finley, but it's a cute name (5/10)
Aaron - Not a fan of Aaron, but it's not terrible (5/10)
Devon - I don't like this as a name, to me it's just a place (2/10)
Brodie - I quite like Brody (this spelling), but I'm not sure how well it will age (7/10)
Euan - Not sure if I like this or not (5/10)

Hayley Dawn: Pretty, but not really my style. Hayley is a little too popular for me.
Rhona Fern: Not really a fan, Rhona just looks off to me.
Teagan Skye: Love! Teagan is beautiful and Skye compliments it nicely
Kaylin Noelle: I love the name Kaylin and Noelle sounds good with it.
Madelyn Faith: Very cute, but I prefer the Madeleine spelling.
Cadence Ivy: Not a fan of Cadence, Ivy is nice.
Sadie Melissa: Sadie is super cute, but seems a little too nickname-ish. I've never really like Melissa much
Sydney Aurora: Like this one! Aurora is beautiful and I love the nickname Rory.

Lauren: A little dated to me, what do you think of Laurel or Lorelei?

Eden: Love Eden! Eden Violet would be cute!
Maria: Not really my style
Violet: I really like Violet, more as a middle name though.
Anya: Very unique and exotic sounding
Madison: I like Madeleine a little better, but it's still cute
Joanna: Not really my style
Leah: Cute name
Laria (Lar-eye-a): Not too bad, reminds me a lot of Aria which I love!
Hazel: Super adorable!


Connor Aidan: I like Connor, Aidan is getting a little too popular in my opinion. I think it would flow better as Aidan Connor
Lucas Noah: Love Lucas! Noah is nice too, overall a great combo!
Jonah Ethan: Jonah is nice, not a fan of Ethan. Jonah Lucas or Jonah Ryan have a little better flow.
Ryan Seth: Both very nice name, but again I think they would flow better reversed as Seth Ryan
Kian Scott: I recently started to love Kian! Scott isn't really my style though.

Stuart: Not a huge fan of Stuart, it reminds me too much of the kids movie Stuart Little lol

Murray: I like Murray, mainly as a middle name.
Finlay: Adorable! I really like it as a girls name too,
Aaron: Don't like this name for personal reasons
Devon: Not really my style
Brodie: Definitely prefer it spelled Brody
Euan: Don't really like this name.


Suggestions:
Aurora Hazel
Aurora Violet
Eden Noelle
Madeleine Ivy

Lucas Finlay
Jonah Lucas
Jonah Ryan
Connor Murray
Kian Murray
Kian Brody

Girls
Hayley Dawn - I'm not a fan of either name honestly. I feel like the styles are so different and they kind of clash.
Rhona Fern - I like Rhona. I've never heard it before, but it's pretty. Not a fan of Fern, but there's nothing wrong with this combo
Teagan Skye - nms, but this has a nice flow.
Kaylin Noelle - I don't like the n in Kaylin and n in Noelle too close together. Kayla Noelle would have a better flow.
Madalyn Faith - I prefer Madeline in spelling and pronunciation, but this is a nice combo.
Cadence Ivy - nms, but has a nice flow. I also really like Ivy Cadence
Sadie Melissa - I've never like Sadie (all the Sadie's I've known where dogs lol), but I know a lot of people love it. This combo has a good balance
Sydney Aurora - this is my second favorite after Madalyn Faith, however I like Aurora as a first name because it's so pretty. This combo makes me think "princess" because both names seem like they would be princesses.

Love: Violet (esp as mn), Joanna, Laria
Like: Lauren, Eden, Anya, Madison, Leah, Hazel
Don't like: Maria

I decided to switch some of the combos around. I was playing around with your names and I realized a lot of them are perfect for two middle names. It really balances out the name especially since a lot of the names are short (3-4 letters with one syllable). Using a double middle name gives the combo a little bit of excitement and makes it sound more "finished". Also, a way for you to use more of your favorite names!

Hayley Noelle
Hayley Violet
Kaylin Aurora
Kaylin Maria Skye
Sydney Faith
Madalyn Ivy
Madalyn Hazel
Aurora Hazel
Aurora Dawn
Rhona Cadence
Joanna Violet
Joanna Dawn Violet
Leah Madison Dawn
Laria Eden
Laria Teagan

Boys
Connor Aidan - really great combo!
Lucas Noah - nice combo, but it feels a bit unfinished like it's needs something extra. Maybe a longer name in the middle?
Jonah Ethan - too "n" heavy.
Ryan Seth - I don't like how both names are so short. Again, feels unfinished.
Kian Scott - very nice!

Love: Aaron, Devon,
Like: Murray, Finlay, Brodie
Don't Like: Stuart, Euon

mixed them a bit:
Jonah Lucas
Devon Brodie
Devon Lucas
Kian Finlay Scott
Aaron Jonah

Hope I could help. :)
