[Opinions] Wacky spelling + birth announcements
I came across the name Illaynna today. The first thing I noticed as that it looked like a jumble of letters, and then I noticed that it had the word "ill" in it. Alayna, Alaina, Elaina, or even Ilayna would have been much more appealing to me.

Ill? Ugh, I wonder if their second dd's name will begin with the 'Mal' prefix. Illaynna is a mess of ugly. Talk about a missed opportunity.
I do like:
Calista Jeanette
Delilah Renee
Valentina Rose
Would I use any of these? Probably not although I did name a kitten Callista Jane once. It could work nicely for a child too.

I'm with you; don't enjoy "Ill" as the prominent sound/sight in a name. Some comments...

Rayne Storm - sigh
Sawyer Blake - can not see this on a girl
Greta Sophia - lovely
Tempest Elizabeth - not a Tempest fan, but this is so much more classy than Rayne Storm
Cendal Sophie - wow
Audra Jean - silver screen siren with spunk
Julianna Avalise
Serenity Rayne - Not quite as cheesy as Rayne Storm, but it's up there.
Mykul Adrianne Tali - a lisping toddler with a headache? "My (s)kull, my (s)kull!
Elliot Mary - we need a "save Elliott" campaign
Fionnuala Grace - nice
Thatcher Geoffrey - Geoffrey Thatcher flows better, with the "ch" and "g" separated
Arend Michael - okay, not pronounced like "errand", I'm glad
Tobias Joseph-Henry - Tobias Henry Joseph sounds much better
Zimri Lawrence - good wow!
Grey Thomas - nice
Calvin Richard - nice to see Calvin
