I like the boys names, especially Ethan James. However I would definitely spell Aidan this way, rather than with a Y, which just looks trendy and a bit girly to me.For the girls, I really don't like masculine-ish surnames on girls, so I don't Jaden and Tayler at all. However, Elizabeth and Margaretta are nice so I would switch the names round. Aaliyah Eileen is OK but I don't particularly like or dislike it.

I prefer Jade Elisabeth over Jaden Elizabeth. I like Ayden too.

Jaden Elizabeth: Eh, it's okay. Nothing special, really.
Tayler Margaretta: This combo clashes horribly, IMO. Why spell Tayler that way? No offense, but if I saw it written out, I would think the parents were uneducated.
Aaliyah Elieen: This doesn't sound very good. Aaliyah is pretty and so is Eileen, but together? They are a mess.Ethan James: See Jaden Elizabeth.
Frankie John: He won't be five years old forever. I would put Franklin on his birth certificate, and call him Frankie, just so he'd have options.
Ayden Robert: Meh. It's all right. I think Aidan Robert looks more dignified, though.

Jaden is trendy and will fade, the name also does not go great as a 60 year old woman or a 30 year old business woman. I have a friend Tayler who gets her name mispronunced and has to spell it for everyone!Aaliyah seems to be trendy from teen mom and the singer and I just do not see the appeal its not pretty its hard to spell and again doesnt age well.Ethan is trendy as is Ayden which I hate that spelling I prefer Aiden. Frankie is a nick name in my opinion I would prefer it to be short for Franklin or Frank or even Francis

Jaden is trendy and I don't particularly like it, but I have to disagree with you about it not fitting an older person. At the moment it is hard to imagine an adult Jaden because Jaden is such a new name and nearly all Jadens are children. In 30 years time, all the thousands of Jadens in the world will be adults and then it will seem fine as a 30-year-olds name.I think the main problem with trendy names is that, once the popularity dips again, it would be really dated. If you heard of or met a Jaden you would immediately think "oh I bet he/she was born in the late 2000s/early 2010s...

Jaden is too masculine (though the only Jaden I know is female) and quite trendy. It seems to clash with the classic Elizabeth. Elizabeth Jade could work.Tayler - just looks awfully misspelled and I'm not fond of this spelling for Margaretta. Really I'm not a fan of Margarita at all - too drink-y. Taylor Margaret would be much better but Margaret Taylor sounds even better.Aaliyah Eileen - way too many similar sounds here and difficult to say. Eileen seems to old fashioned and clashes with the more modern sounding Aaliyah.Ethan James - I do love this oneFrankie John - not a fan of nicknames as full first names - my only exception for this is John especailly in the middle name slot but Franklin John would be much nicer.Ayden Robert - I would love this (if my neice was a boy she was going to be named Aiden Robert) but I hate hate hate this spelling of Aidan. Aidan or Aiden are the only spellings I can see of this name.There is no way Ayden and Jaden could be in the same sibset.

Reverse all the namesI'm hoping this is theoretical? As in the "if" part?In addition to the comments of previous posters, I'd like to point out that Jaden and Ayden are much too similar to be in a grouping. In general, I prefer all of the middle names to any of the first names. In fact, if each of these names were to be reversed, I might give the grouping a thumbs up.

DittoBut I dislike Margaretta, Margaret would be better IMO.

Jaden Elizabeth: I almost like it, but Jaden is a bit too boyish IMO.
Tayler Margaretta: I'd prefer Taylor Margareta. Or Taylor Margaretta, since it's a family name. I don't like that spelling of Tayler though.
Aaliyah Eileen: I like this one.
Ethan James: I like it. I admit it is common, but for some reason it's not too boring.
Frankie John: I only like Frankie as a mickname.
Ayden Robert: Okay. I like Aiden, Aidan, and Aedan, but I've never really liked Ayden as much. It makes me think EYE-den instead of AY-den for some reason. It's ok though.

Let's see. :)Jaden Elizabeth: I like the sound a lot, I usually think of jaden as very trendy, but it's nicely balanced with Elizabeth.
Tayler Margaretta: I'm not really a fan of this one, to be honest. Sorry. Although margaretta is very fun.
Aaliyah Eileen: this is sweet, a little singsongy for my taste but definitely flows well. Ethan James: gotta love James. Gosh, this is so simple and strong.
Frankie John: this is cute, but I wouldn't use Frankie as a full name.
Ayden Robert: again, ayden is a little trendy for my taste, especially with the y, but the combo sounds nice together. :)

Jaden Elizabeth - I dislike Jaden on a boy and especially on a girl. Elizabeth is nice but too filler in the middle name spotTayler Margaretta - Not my style at allAaliyah Eileen - Aaliyah sounds too 'teenage parent' to me. Eileen is niceEthan James - I really dislike Ethan but James is nice
Frankie John - Frankie is okay as a nickname. I find John dull
Ayden Robert - The Ayden spelling is the worst and again Robert is dullSorry I don't have anything more positive to say, just none are my style, way too trendy for my tastes
