Hi Jordan. =] I'm so glad you asked this question. My contacts haven't been asking a whole lot of questions lately, so I've been kinda bored with Y!A, so thanks for asking this!

I'll rate them on a scale of 1-10 (1=hate,10=love) and comment.

Landen Bryce ~ 7 (Not bad. I like Landen alright, and Bryce not exactly my taste, but still ok. I picture a cute little brown-haired brown-eyed boy playing in the sand. Even though I picture a little boy, I still think this name would age very well. It's pretty near perfect when it comes to that.)

Blake Patrick ~ 4 (Blake is cool. Patrick is ok. I'm just not really liking them together. They just don't sound well together, at least not to my ears. It's not that it's terrible, it just sounds a bit....harsh maybe? I don't know---I'm not exactly sure how to explain it. I picture a teenage boy with black hair. Perhaps in a band with a few close friends. Plays guitar.)

Parker Jonathan ~ 2 (I don't like Parker. Jonathan is ok, but not my taste. I just don't really care for either of these too names much, so that's the reason for such a low rating. The flow is nice though, I'll give you that. I picture a 7 or 8-year-old boy with curly dusty brown hair that isn't too long, but nearly covers his eyes, wearing overalls....hmm, don't ask why about the overalls part--I have no idea. lol.)

Mason Luke ~ 9 (I quite like both names. Mason is on my "guilty pleasures" name list, which is fuill of names I like, but probably wouldn't use personally. Luke is on my favorites list as a first name and I'm still searching for a good middle name. Mason Luke does sound quite nice, but just as an idea--I think Luke Mason would be a pretty handsome combo as well! The flow (both ways) is great! I picture a young college student, handsome, plays football.)

Jackson Lee ~ 7 (Not bad. I don't rove either name, but I don't mind either one either. They sound nice together. I picture a famous country singer!)

Clara Novalie ~ 9.5 (This is pretty! Why do you need a new middle name? Clara is actually one of my favorite girls names too. It's near the top of my list. I have both Gwendolyn and Madeleine [pronounced Mad-uh-line] as middle name options. I can't decided which one I like better. I'm thinking I like Madeleine just a bit better at this point. So there's a couple idea's for you. I'll list some more at the end. I picture an adorable little girl in a fancy dress-up dress, playing tea-party with her favorite dolls ans stuffed animals.)

Alexandra Kathryn ~ 4 (I don't care so much for Alexandra, but I love Kathryn, although I do prefer the spelling Katherine. I am glad you have it spelled with a K though. I dislike the C spellings. I especially don't care for the nickname Alex. I picture a mother of 3 or 4, in her early 30's, very pretty, named her children with equally elegant-sounding names as is hers. Perhaps her children would be named Anna Eleanor, Melinda Grace, and Gavin Walter.)

Kadence Elanie ~ 3 (Kadence is neat. I like that it's spelled with a K. Kady is a cute nickname. Elaine is nice. I don't like them together, and I'll explain why. This may sound silly, but the name sounds a bit funny to my ears. It sounds more like Kadencey Lane to me. It's just the way the name flows together to me. You know what I mean? Anyways, I picture a little girl, no hair color really stands out to me for this one, perhaps blonde?, blue-gray eyes.)

Chloe Auburn ~ 5 (It's by no means an ugly name. Chloe is alright. Auburn is interesting...I can't decide whether I like it or not. I picture a 5-year-old, with---guess what---AUBURN hair.)

Erin Sophia ~ 4 (It's ok. I'm not too fond of the name Erin, but I don't hate it. Same wih Sophia. I picture a bride for this one, in a beautiful dress, carrying lavender flowers.)

Avonlea ~ 2 (I don't really care for this one. It looks appealing to my eyes, but I don't like the way it sounds very much. Didn't Anne of Green Gables live in a town called "Avonlea"? I'm pretty sure. Anyways, I picture a red-headed girl with green eyes.)

Molly ~ 2 (Sorry, but I just don't like this name. I think more of a doll than a person when I hear this name. Hmm..perhaps that's because I had a doll when I was little and her name was Molly. I called her my "Molly Dolly". lol. How lame is that! haha)

I love them all except Kadence-ugh, I don't care for Avonlea either. Kathleen "Katie" Elaine-I like much better.

How about Clara Michelle

For a boy my favorite is Blake Patrick-I really like all the others too.

and for a girl Alexandra Kathryn

cadence (or spelled you way with a k) is a description of a manner of speech. I hold that any term that you are required to define in either high school or college should never be a persons name. Also, avonlea is a town in the books that are sequels to anne of green gables. They also used to be a t.v. show on either nickelodeon or the disney channel for several years.

First of all-LOVE Molly :)

Maybe Clara Noelle? that would be cute.

I really like the name Kadence but i don't really like Elaine, with a name like that maybe you could look deep into a family tree and find an old-fashioned name for a middle name.

I like Chloe Alexandra instead of Chloe Auburn, doesn't really flow, idk depending on last name i guess.

Love the name Erin, don't really like Sophia though. Something like Erin Deanna or Erin Rachelle?

Looove all your boys names! <3333

Landen Bryce- Although i do like the different spelling of Landen to Landon which changes the pronunciation from Lan-dun to Lan-din, i still see the name Landen/Landon as a "nerd" name. I know it's a favored name, esp. on this site, but where i grew up names like Quinton, Spencer, Preston, Nathan and Landon were considered "geeky and/or nerdy". Bryce i don't like either. rhymes w/rice and i dunno just sounds abrasive to me. i think if i were to change or make any suggestions about it it would be to scrap those two for two names that are similar like:

Lance Bryant

Blake Patrick- I love Patrick!! you don't hear it that much anymore, and i think the nn's Rick and Ricky are too cute. Blake is okay, not a fav but still a very nice name. honestly to me i think the flow would sound better as Patrick Blake.

Parker Jonathan- love both names, both are on my favs list. I would love to find a perfect middle name for Parker, but it always ends up as a middle name on my list. Parker is just such a perfect middle name, and because of that i would prefer this name as Jonathan Parker.

Mason Luke- Honestly i don't much like the name Mason. It reminds me of a mason jar. Luke i've always liked, but my fav name is Lucas and i prefer it to Luke anyday. other suggestions- replace Mason w/something similar like:

Martin Luke, or even Lucas Martin

Jackson Lee- I love the name Jackson. it's a family name for me. My great-grandfather's name was William Jackson S. It will always have a special place in my heart, and if it wasn't so blasted popular right now i'd have used it on my youngest son! lol Lee however, i find plain, uncreative and filler. it's just boring to me. suggestions- keep Jackson scrap Lee w/something like:

Jackson Liam

Clara Novalie- Clara seriously reminds me of a cow name. my grandparents had a few dairy cows. there names- Clara Bell (typical) lol, Anna Bell, and Bessie Ann. weird...i know. but oh well...from then on anything similar reminds me of cows. Novalie is sooooo cute! why would you get rid of it? i know it's from the movie "Where the Heart Lies" but omg that name is just too cute. and yes even a bit country, which i usually hate, but this name has just stuck w/me for some reason. suggestions- scrap Clara keep Novalie.

Something like:

Cora Novalie or Claire Novalie. but if you must have a new middle i'd suggest Cora Natalie or Claire Natalie.

Alexandra Kathryn- Love Alexandra, so many nn's to pick, plus the name grows well from childhood to adulthood. Kathryn i prefer spelled either Catherine or Katherine. i like it equally either way, but w/a C it's more elegant while w/a K is more fun or spunky looking. My suggestions:

Alexandra Katherine or Catherine Alexandra

Kadence Elaine- love Elaine, it's very pretty. Kadence on the other hand, i dislike a lot. Never did understand this weird "K" name trends. i liken this name to other "trendy" K names like: Kaylee, Kennedy, Kendall, Kenzie, Kendra, Kassidy etc. only one i can stand is Kenzie. suggestions- get rid of Kadence and keep Elaine go for something like:

Katherine Elaine, Kaitlyn Elaine, Kristen Elaine

Chloe Auburn- Chloe is cute, not a fav, but a good feminine name. Auburn to me looks terribly masculine. suggestions- find something to replace Auburn, other than the horrid Aubrey name.

something like:

Chloe Audrey

Erin Sophia- okay here is where my nit-pickiness shines through. LOL Erin for a girl i have never, nor will ever probably like. it's not the sound of the name, because i DO happen to adore Aaron for a boy (it's on my top 5 actually), but there is something about the cute, yet simple elegance of the sound of Erin coupled w/the UGLY way it's spelled. i just hate the way the name looks compaired to it's sound. but i hate "trendy" spellings. i have no idea what alternate spelling wouldn't look bad. Sophia to me is lovely, but common. suggestions- find an alternate femenine spelling for Erin, something like:

Airen Sophia, Ayrn Sophie, Ayren Sophia, Ayrin Sophia, Arwren Sophia, Aiwren Sophia,...etc.

Avonlea- oh i loved the books- Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea...just lovely. never ever thought to use it as a name. brilliant!! Avonlea Joy sounds fantastic to me. pronounced Ah-von-lee for thouse that don't know.

Molly- super cute!! most ppl see this as a nickname, but Molly and Millie are two names that i would love as a proper first name. cutesie yes, young yes, but i just love them.

Molly Ann, Molly Claire, Molly Charlotte, Molly Scarlett.
