Name for our baby girl

We just found out on Thursday that our baby is a girl!! We have a 18 month old little boy named Brady. I really like the name Brinley. I think it goes well with Brady. What do you think of the name, and of the spelling? If we want her nick name to be Bryn should we spell it Brynlie? Also, I LOVE the name Avery for the middle name. Do you think it goes well with Brynlie (Brinley)? Or should we just go wih one of our other names: Addison Avery or Peyton Avery? Thanks so much for your help and advice :)

Brinley is NMS at all. Of your choices, I'd choose Addison Avery. Peyton is NMS, but better than Brinley for me.

Brinley is NMS, but I prefer that spelling to Brynlie (Brinley looks like a family name, Brynlie looks made up). 

Why not just name her Brynn, if that's what you are going to call her? 

I think Brynn is a better match with Brady.  Brinley and Brady is a little cutsie.

I do not like Brinley with Avery, or any other name that has the same ending. 

Addison Avery and Peyton Avery are very androgynous names, though they flow nicely.  I would choose something more feminine for a middle if going with a surname first name. 

Also, I feel like Addison and Peyton are becoming very popular, so that would be a concern for me.

Brinley is NMS, and I think it is too similiar to your son's name (same beginning and ending sounds).  Addison is crazy popular (if that is something that would bother you) and overused IMO.  Peyton is okay, but again, NMS.

I don't think Brinley goes well with Brady at all. They are far too matchy, IMO. Brynn would be better choice. Brynlie is a terrible, terrible spelling.

Addison isn't my style, but I like it so much better than Brynn and Brinley.  
I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

I love Brinley, but its too matchy with Brady and Brinley Avery does not sound good together. Brynn Avery is a beautiful name.

I think that Brinley and Brady are too similar.

I do like Brynn with Brady.

Brinley is not going to age well.  It's cutesy on a little girl with pigtails, but not on an adult, professional woman.   Brynlie is even worse.    And definitely not good as a sib set with  Brady. 

I like Brynn.  It will age well, and it's a lovely name.   Avery would go well with it as a middle name.

I really like Brynn Avery. It's less match with Brady and goes well with Avery. I also like Avery as a fb, Avery Brynn

I like Brynn (was on my name list) and Avery.  Dislike Brinley and the other spelling is terrible.  Also think its too matchy with Brady lime others have mentioned.  Addison and Payton are WAY too popular for my taste but I do think they are both cute names.

We have very different naming styles but as others have said, I am okay with just Brynn.  If i had to pick one of your choices, I would go with Avery.

I love Addison. Peyton is very boy. Avery is also a boy name. So when I see Peyton Avery, I see all boy. Brynlie or however you chose to spell it is okay, but NMS.

I really like Brinley and I even think it goes really well with Brady. I don't see why everyone is so against names "matching" they aren't that close. If I yelled Brady, Brinley wouldn't be like what? They are different enough to me. I guess that's my style though. Bryn, Addison and Peyton are all good names as well however they are all popular. Good luck!

We do not have the same taste in names, so take my opinion with that in mind:

Brinley/Brynlie/Brynlee is one of my most hated names.  It just sounds like a dog/little girl to me, and I can't imagine Grandma Brinley (though I know that eventually there would be a Grandma Brinley, it's just weird to me).  I also strongly dislike Addison and Peyton.  I'm afraid if you did Peyton, maybe people would think you were big football fans with a Brady and Peyton?  

I think Brynn Avery flows really well.

Brynn is much better than Brinley.  Behindthename.com doesn't even recognize it as a real name.

Avery, Peyton and Addison are all male names IMO, even though the girls are fighting hard to overtake them.  I agree with Brynn Avery.  I think those sound the best together and with your son's name.

Brinley and Brynlie are terrible. I dislike Peyton, especially on a girl. Addison is just ok. I am not a fan of Avery on a girl but, in the middle name spot it is not as bad.

My vote would be for Brynn Avery.

Don't like Brinley at all.  Can't see it on a grown woman.

What about Brynn (fn) Leigh (mn) Lastname?

Out of all the choices you mentioned, I would pick Brynn Avery.  NMS, but I like it the best out of Addison, Peyton, Brinley.  Those are all really masculine sounding names, IMO, and all very trendy sounding.

I love Addison, and have considered it for my little girl. Brinley is just not good at all in my opinion, although I don't have a problem at all with Bryn. Peyton is okay, but it's more gender-neutral, which I'm not a huge fan of.

What about Addison Bryn?
