Names to match unusual DD's name

Hi, Well, my daughters name in itself is not unusual, but for a girl I think it is.Her name is Dylan, Dylan Kate. We are expecting another baby and while I'm not particularly a fan of unusual sounding or spelt names I think if we chose something along the lines of Lisa or Mark the Dylan's name will be the odd one out. To make things even more difficult I like the idea of having a "y" in the name.I am thinking Peyton (for a girl) and Lakyn (for a boy)I would love anyone's honest (I'm not easily offended) opinions and/or suggestions. Another name I like is Chase (for a boy) but our surname has a "s" sound at the end - think Curtis so it may be too "S" ey.Thanks in advance, looking forward to your replys x

No offense intended but if I had to guess I would have thought Peyton sounded slightly manlier than Lakyn. Due to Peyton Manning, probably. Peyton works on a girl even more often, but Lakyn is girlier, IMO than either it or Dylan. Boys Lyndon Lysander Lyle Cyrus Rhys Wyatt Yancy Quincy Tyriq, Tyrese, Tyrone, etc. Girls Lark, Lilac Betony Tansy Yael Reyna/Rayna Aaliyah Liliya Talya Yonina

Super, super nerdy and weird but I've been liking Gwyneira recently despite not being Welsh at all myself. Welsh is awesome for y's.

I think Dylan and Peyton sound great together. It's not to girlie iykwim?! I'm not sure of a boys name. Lakyn is nms but doesn't sound bad. Maybe a unisex name to keep in theme but not too feminine.... I love unisex names! Eta: what about something like Flynn? This post has been edited by TarneeW: 15/11/2012, 06:10 PM

I like Peyton. Lakyn is not my style - but I don't think it's bad. I like Ryder for a boy and Avery for a girl as other PPers have suggested! If you like names containing a Y and like Chase - I have seen it spelt Chayse.

I like Dylan and Peyton as sisters! Others for a girl: Tamsyn Gryffin Carlyn Bryony Bethany Brynn/a Not keen on Lakyn or Chase, I'll try to come back with other boy options...
