A classy name?

The father's last name is Ratherdel. He likes Reed for a boy but it sounds weird to me. I like Jake Bryan better. For a girl we like Audrey, Kate or Tyler Joanna. I love the name Kaylin as well but the dad thinks it sounds too made up. Please help with some ideas for a classy but not overused names?

I like Jake Reed for a boy or Brian Reed.
I like Audry Kate but not Tyler. I do like Joanna though. I love Kaylin!!! My pick would probably be either Kaylin Taylor or Audrey Kate or Kaylin Joanna

I really like Reid. I prefer the spelling with an i though...I am not sure about Reid Ratherdel though...Prefer to stay away from the same beginning sounds...

I really like Kate. Audrey is pretty. I am not a huge fan of Tyler for a girl. I much prefer Taylor. Tyler for a girl seems more trendy rather than classy...

Names that seem classy are pretty easy to think of BUT when you add in names that are not overused then you run into some problems! :)

Do you want to use the middle names Joanna and Bryan?

Maybe:
Lydia Joanna Ratherdel
Cara Joanna Ratherdel
Mya Joanna Ratherdel
Ainsley Joanna Ratherdel
Sophie Joanna Ratherdel
Leah Joanna Ratherdel
Brooke Joanna Ratherdel
Lauren Joanna Ratherdel
Megan Joanna Ratherdel
Grace Joanna Ratherdel
Avery Joanna Ratherdel

Max Bryan Ratherdel
Jack Bryan Ratherdel
Cameron Bryan Ratherdel
Nicholas Bryan Ratherdel
Chase Bryan Ratherdel
Lucas Bryan Ratherdel
Andrew Bryan Ratherdel
Colby Bryan Ratherdel
Mason Bryan Ratherdel

Good LUck! SD

I like Kate for a girl or Caitlyn

Reed Michael Ratherdel
Michael Reed Ratherdel
Mathew Reed Ratherdel
Mathew Jake Ratherdel
Jake Allen Ratherdel

Reed is a tough name to use as a first name but works well as a middle name.

Jake is ok but I am not partial to the name Bryan ( Brian)

With a long last name like that, you need something short. Do you have any family names that would work? I like the name Jake for a boy; for a girl, how about Jill or Leah? Kaylin is pretty but her class will be full of similar names--Kaitlyn, for example, is SO trendy. Try to find something classic but not trendy. Trendy names get really dated later--check and see how many Debbies were born in the '50s. Good luck!

Well I like some that you already have. I like Jake Bryan. I also don't prefer Reed. For girls I also love the name Kaylin and I also love Kate.
