Needing opinions

We are struggling with trying to find a name for our little girl who is due in May.  Our last name is Freeman and we have two other children named Brandon and Kaylee.  What are your opinions of these names....

Emilee Freeman

Ashlee Freeman

Ava Freeman

Katelynn Freeman

I like Ava. The other names are nice, but they seem to be used only because they suit the other daughters name.

Ava, the others are too matchy with Kaylee

We are open to different spellings of Emily and Ashley.  Also, Emily is my mother's middle name so we weren't sure about that one.  Thank you for all of your opinions!

Ava is the nicest, if you don't mind choosing a name that's in the top 5 for popularity.

Katelynn would be my second pick.

The "ee" names are too matchy with Kaylee, IMO.

My favorites are Ava, then Emily (spelled this way). I really prefer the Emily and Ashley spellings vs the two ee's.

Ava is the best choice from your list and not to sing song matchy.

With a Kaylee, I wouldn't have use the spellings Emilee or Ashlee, but the traditional spellings (Emily and Ashley) work well with Brandon and Kaylee.

I also like Caitlin/Caitlyn with Brandon and Kaylee but again, I wouldn't go with an unusual spelling.

I think all of your name choices are good.  I would not spell Emily and Ashley with the double ee's though. I think this would cause problems with other people always spelling it wrong.  Katelynn also comes with a ton a different ways to spell as well.

I like Ashlee ... but like the Irish Ashleigh spelling better - it's less made up

If you spell it with a Y instead of two E's, I like Emily the best.

The only one I like is Ava.  The others are way too juvenile for my taste.

Ava since it is the only one that i like the spelling for

the EE is just way over the top especially with the last name

I agree with the spelling issues. I don't like Emilee anyways, though I think Ashlee is ok, but not with Kaylee. Emily and Ashley do still have that same ending as Kaylee so keep that in mind.

Katelyn (I prefer it with one "n") or Caitlyn/Caitlin doesn't but does have the "k" sound at the beginning which also makes it matchy.

That being said, Ava is my favorite of your list to add to your sibset.

I like Ashlee, but not the spelling. It's already too close to your other name.

 AVA!

 

I would avoid Emilee and Ashlee as your other daughter also has a double "ee" first name (and your last name is "ee" to boot). Katelynn is nice, although I prefer the traditional spelling, but Kaylee and Katelynn might be a bit of a tongue twister together. Ava all the way!

I wouldn't use the double 'ee' again. All the names are pretty, spelled the regular way.
