Instead of Jayden and Aubrey

General Name Discussion

[name_m]Just[/name_m] for fun, I did a redo of the US top 25. I selected alternative names that were outside the US top 50 and were similar either in sound or style. For example:

[name_u]Michael[/name_u] → [name_u]Micah[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] → [name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_u]Aiden[/name_u] → [name_m]Eamon[/name_m]
[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] → [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] → [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] → [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] → [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] → [name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f] → [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] → [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]

I was able to come up with an alternative for every name except [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] and [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], and I’m very iffy on my alternative for [name_u]Avery[/name_u]. For [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] I originally came up with [name_u]Jameson[/name_u], but it doesn’t seem any less trendy to me. And [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] is the most obvious alternative for [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], but [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] is in the top 50.

As for [name_u]Avery[/name_u], I’m going back and forth between the unisex [name_u]Haven[/name_u] and the less ambiguous [name_f]Verity[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think either of them works? And any ideas to replace [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] and [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]?

[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] (boy)- [name_u]Jensen[/name_u]
[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] (girl)- [name_f]Jaquelin[/name_f]

[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] (girl)- [name_f]Audra[/name_f]

[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] —[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]; [name_m]Jason[/name_m]; [name_u]Jude[/name_u]; [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]; [name_m]Janus[/name_m]; [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Justin[/name_m] ?
[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] —[name_f]Jane[/name_f]; [name_f]Jocelyne[/name_f]; [name_f]Jacoba[/name_f]; [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]; [name_f]Jacinda[/name_f]; [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] ?

[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] —*[name_f]Aude[/name_f]; [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f]; [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]; [name_f]Aubray[/name_f]/Aubrée (medieval English form of the name Albreda, “all bright”); [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]?

[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] - [name_m]Judah[/name_m] would be my first pick!
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] - [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] would be my first choice followed by [name_u]Adair[/name_u], [name_u]Auburn[/name_u]

5

[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] - [name_m]Julius[/name_m], Juby, [name_m]Jonty[/name_m]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] - [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]

I think [name_u]Haven[/name_u] and [name_f]Verity[/name_f] work for [name_u]Avery[/name_u]

6

[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] - [name_m]Jabez[/name_m].

[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] - [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]

[name_u]Avery[/name_u] - [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] was my first thought. I can see [name_f]Verity[/name_f] working though.

I love [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] for [name_u]Jayden[/name_u]. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. They’re very similar stylistically and share similar sounds.

I’m leaning toward [name_u]Haven[/name_u] for [name_u]Avery[/name_u]. I could do [name_u]Emory[/name_u], but there’s still that part of me that screams “boy’s name!” [name_u]Auburn[/name_u] and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] for [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]… hmm…

[name_f]Do[/name_f] we prefer [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] or [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] for [name_u]Harper[/name_u]?

8

[name_u]Avery[/name_u] - [name_f]Avril[/name_f] or [name_f]April[/name_f]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] - [name_f]Briallen[/name_f] or [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]

[name_u]Vesper[/name_u], I think. Harbour seems more trendy than [name_u]Harper[/name_u] to me.

[name_u]Harper[/name_u] - [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] or [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] or [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] or Harpreet
