Help narrowing down my long list (this or that or that... & yes or no)

General Name Discussion
1

I am trying to narrow down my list and would love some help. I’ve broken my questions down into: this or that with spellings, this or that (or that or that or that…) with name/nickname variations, and yes or no questions. Please feel free to make any other suggestions (even totally different names that you think I might like). And please be somewhat nice; I understand some names are unique and trendy but I am selecting them for a reason, so please criticize the name and not me.

Spellings
[name_f]Alina[/name_f] or [name_f]Alena[/name_f]? - I pronounce [name_f]Alena[/name_f] more like [name_f]Alayna[/name_f]
[name_m]Boden[/name_m] or Bohden? - the h seems unnecessary
[name_f]Elina[/name_f] or [name_f]Elena[/name_f]? - 2 different names to me - uh lee na vs uh lay na. Prefer [name_f]Elina[/name_f].
[name_f]Kaitlin[/name_f] or [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f]?
[name_m]Mackson[/name_m] or [name_m]Macsen[/name_m]? - ditto above
[name_f]Veda[/name_f], [name_u]Vida[/name_u], or [name_f]Vita[/name_f]? - prefer [name_u]Vida[/name_u] for the pronunciation you’re going for; [name_f]Veda[/name_f] is “vay da” to me

Alternatives/full names for nicknames (feel free to suggest alternatives)
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Maria[/name_f], or [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Baya[/name_f] or Baisha - cute and underused
[name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_m]Callahan[/name_m], Callissa, or [name_m]Calloway[/name_m] - ditto above, works great
[name_f]Daisha[/name_f] or [name_f]Daya[/name_f] - [name_f]Daisha[/name_f] is rather limited/dated to me. I know a ton of people named [name_f]Daja[/name_f]/[name_f]Daisha[/name_f]/Daysha/every spelling variant within like 3 years of me and no one else outside of that age range
[name_f]Gracelyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Gracen[/name_f] - but not a fan of either tbh
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]/[name_f]Alena[/name_f] or [name_f]Elina[/name_f]/[name_f]Elena[/name_f]? - if you’re going for pronunciation “uh lee na”, [name_f]Elina[/name_f] is my favorite but [name_f]Alina[/name_f] is not bad by any stretch. The other are “uh lay na” to me
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] or [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
