Katelynn Elise - I prefer the spelling Caitlin, but I like it. Elise is wonderful. It's short, but classy. The combo is very nice too, it flows well.
Andrea Nevaeh - Andrea is nice. I don't like Nevaeh for it's sound and the idea behind it (Heaven reversed). The combo isn't that good IMO, because both names have a similarly rythm.
Brooke D'Aire - Brooke is dated IMO. D'Aire is too surnamey for me. The combo isn't that bad.
Mariya Za'Nae - I don't care for Maria (and it's variants). Za'Nae isn't my style. I'm wondering how it's pronounced... Both names together don't sound good IMO.
Stormy Raye - Horrible :( sounds like a name for a pet. even a male pet...
Arianna - I like it.
Ethen Manuel - I prefer the spelling Ethan, but I like it. Manuel is nice too, but I prefer Emmanuel. As a combo it's not that good, because of the -n ending and the M- beginning.
Wiley John - I don't care for Wiley. John is ok, but also a bit boring. As a combo it sounds a bit like a comic character.
Logan Wesley - I like Logan and Wesley somehow. It doesn't flow that well, but ok.
Larry Darnell III - Nicknames as FNs aren't my preference... I don't like the sound of Darnell.
Julian Renee - Julian is very nice. Renee with two E's is just wrong for a boy...
*rhythm (baaad typo) .
Katelynn Elise: Not bad. I have to say I prefer Caitlin/Kaitlyn/Katelyn to Katherine.
Andrea Nevaeh: Nevaeh ruins it but Andrea is very nice.
Brooke D'Aire: That D'Aire is silly.
Mariya Za'Nae: Is that supposed to be pronounced like Maria or Mariah? Because both those names are very beautiful, I wish they'd just stuck with the usual spelling of either one.
Stormy Raye: At least they didn't do Stormy Rain.
Arianna: Pretty.
Ethen Manuel: Somehow Ethan and Manuel don't fit. Don't like Ethan anyway.
Wiley John: The wily John.
Logan Wesley: Hate it.
Larry Darnell III: Not surprised this is not the first generation.
Julian Renee: Fail. Renee is indisputably female. Rene is male, if necessary, but paired with the sissy Julian? Bad.
Ethan Kien-Nam: See Ethan Manuel.
Landon Lee: Very faux-cowboy.
Ian William: Loathe the whiny Ian.
Dylah (unsure whether boy or girl) Dylah looks like a girl. Dylah Prayer would be a funny combo.
Unless you typoed Dylan.

No, it was Dylah.
