I dislike Caden, Caitlin, Carly, Jayden, Kaylee and Riley, regardless of spelling.
I like the spelling of Aaliyah, Brittany, Emily and Madeline (family name with this spelling). As names, I like Emily and Madeline.

I prefer all the original spellings. Except Jadyn — I much prefer Jaden or Jaiden to Jayden.

I was today years old when I found out Hailey and Jeffrey were not the original spellings!

Aleah - concise, pretty, straightforward.
Britney - same reason
Kayden because I like the look of Ays in names over Ays. I also like Ks.
Kaitlin because its almost identical and the K is cute.
Carleah because its different. I'm not sure why but I don't like the look of Karly.
Emilea maybe, because its different?
Jaiden. An important person in my life has this name. And to reiterate, I prefer Ays and Ais to just As or Aes.
Kaylie is cute.
...This one is harder. Maddeline?
Ryley perhaps. For both genders. :)

I love the creativity! I also think Kaylie is cute. :)

1. The only other acceptable variants in my opinion are Aliyah or Aleah.
2. I'd stick with Brittany. The only other I can think of is Brittney, which is okay.
3. Caden is my preference.
4. Katelyn
5. Carly is preferred.
6. Emily is the only spelling I like.
7. I'd probably stick to Jayden or Jaden. Jaiden looks okay, it's just not as instinctual.
8. Kailey
9. Depends on the pronunciation. I'd use different spellings to make it more clear. I think Madeleine should have a long i sound and Madelyn should have the short i sound.
10. Riley, though I think Rylie or Rylee are okay on girls.

Pretty much all of those, apart from #4, #8 & #9#4 Katelyn or at least Kaitlyn. I much prefer the 'K' here.#8 Kailey#9 Madeleine (although I absolutely don't mind Madeline) Might also prefer Jaden instead of Jayden, but just so beyond sick of the name and it's previous trend, that I don't even care.

I think I used to prefer the "K", but now I think the "C" gives the name a sweeter vibe.

Doesn't surprise me now, it's a typically East German spelling from the Ex-GDR.

1. Aleah

3. Caden
4. It's a tie between Katelyn and Catelin
5. Carly
6. Emily

8. Cailey, but I also enjoy Cayleigh, Kayleigh, and Kaylee
9. I only would use Madeline for "Mad-uh-line" (long I); I much prefer Madelyn "Mad-uh-lihn".
10. Riley

I agree with you about the pronunciation! I also think Madeleine should only have a long I.
