Truthfully, I don't particularly care for any of them. I think you're going to run into either a pronunciation or a spelling issue with quite a few of them. If I had to choose out of the list, I'd go with Natalie followed by Megan.

Love the name Cassidy, but not Caiside (kay-side).

A friend's daughter is named Cassidy, after the Grateful Dead song of the same name; yet another friend's son is named Nesta - after Nesta Robert "Bob" Marley. buncha hippies!

Interesting. I have a female co-worker, in her 70s, named Nesta. My DD has a female friend named Cassidy. I work in a pediatrics office; I've also seen that name spelled Cassidea. I could go that far, but that Caiside just makes it look like the parents didn't know how to spell it.

I have always liked Aileen.

I don't care for unique spellings of names like Caiside and Alayne.

I don't care for the names Megan and Blair.

I can see people not knowing if Halle is "Hailey" or not.

Normal names, people. Normal names. These babies have to live with them and be adults with them. It's not cute.

I didn't even get that it was supposed to be a form of Cassidy until someone else mentioned it. I don't like that name for a girl, anyway. The first thing that comes to mind is "Butch".

I think sometimes these parents think they are naming pets, not people.
