From your list I like Dayne, but probably prefer it spelled Dane.
Ryder is nms. Marley reminds me of the dog. Other suggestions: Owen Tate Rhett Elliott |

I like Abel the best but I don't think it goes that well with Billy.
My pick of your options is Marley, but the others would be fine too. Prefer the Dane spelling. Marley Dane makes a good combo. |

With Allen as MN I would choose Dane, maybe Ryder. Both Marley and Abel are 'awkward' with MN Allen.
Or go Allen Ryder or Allen Dane, known as the MN. |

Abel is the only one of the mentioned names I like, if I had to choose one of the others it would be Marley.

Marley is probably my favourite, I think its such a cool name, but I worry about people thinking its a dogs name
 Rafferty is really cool, however we have a long last name and it will be too much of a mouth full. Im surprised about how many people actually like Abel, my husband totally loves the name. |
