My wife and I are expecting a child in August and we are struggling to pick unique baby names for our child. We do not want common names except for Grace, Renee, and Hayden. We have a list of first and middle names for both genders and we would love to hear your opinions/thoughts even negative ones. If you happen to have any suggestions of better names to go with other names listed, please feel free to share.

For a girl....
Haylei Grace Haylei Genevieve Emmalin Grace Uma Renee
Out of those boys' choices I like Hayden Lloyd. I like that middle name, you definitely don't hear it everyday. And this is out of left field a little bit, but it reminds me of actor Christopher Lloyd - who I consider distinguished respectable person and actor. As far as your other choices - Amsterdam? Don't do that to a kid. My respect and warm regards to your Uncle Amsterdam or to your favorite city, if that's why you wanted to choose that name. But, it's just not good. And Rene? I know that's technically an accepted unisex name, but frankly, it's a girl's name in my opinion.
Based on your girl choices I like Haylei Genevieve. I don't like Uma at all. Emmalin, Emma, and all those variations are a little overdone in my opinion. Hayley and all variations are kind of common too, but I really enjoy that "ei" spelling on names. I think it's unique. And I choose Genevieve as a middle name because again, Grace is so overdone.
I married a Dutch lady from Amsterdam so go figure! She likes Amsterdam and she thinks it's better than names after a city such as Houston, Orlando, and Dallas, etc. I warned kids will tease based on the ultra liberal environment in Amsterdam.
Good job she's not from Scheveningen or 's Hertogenbosch eh?!
