1. Emaleigh---No matter how you spell a name 'uniquely' it is still popular...and Emily and all of its variants is waaay overused. I never quite liked this name to begin with.
2. Isabelle---also overused, but this name is okay. I like Isabella better.
3. Carleigh---My neice is Carlee, and I think it's a cute name. Obviously I like Leigh, but spelled that way on its own as a mn looks better than used as a variant spelling to a 'lee' name. My brother's daughter Carlee I would have prefered Carly.
4. Brooklyn---While not awful, it's still a place to me. Maybe as a nickname?
5. Tesla/Tessalyn---I like Tesla, not Tessalyn. Someone on another board suggested this and my husband and other relatives shot it down, but I still like it.
6. Brynlie---sounds like a last name to me. I like just Bryn.
7. Jodelle---Ugh. I don't mind Janelle or Jodie, but not Jodelle. It's harsh sounding and reminds me of Modell's.
8. Chloe---cute but doesn't age all that well.
9. Cambrie---Reminds me of a cheese....though I like Brie (hahah) and Cam as a nn for Camilla.
10. Kailey---I have a cousin who is called this as a nn (her real name is Kathleen and she spells it Kaylee). It's an adorable name, but doesn't age that well like Chloe.
Well, good luck!
