Some of those names would be fine, if the parents had properly spelled them. The quest to make a name exotic or original by adding syllables and letters comes off as tacky, imo. Its the kind of misguided quest for individuality that, rather than picking a real unsual name, just disregards spelling. The name's spelling then has to be explained to every person you meet for the rest of your life.

Worst offender here: Haidynlyn. An awful overuse of the letter y, and for some reason the name just fuzzes up before my eyes as an incoherent strain of letters.

As for the names that are real names, like Melia and Braelyn, they might not be my style, but I think they're not bad choices.
