Audria is lovely.

Cayden is very very trendy for boys now.

It's interesting to guess at the original origins of these and if the origins are all of certain generations. Some sound like a blending of two names.

I wouldn't go with Linnea, it sounds way too much like Linear.

I've always liked Inez. I don't like Audrey, so Audria strikes me as surprisingly pretty. Linnea would be nice, if pronounced as Laura Linnea does.

I know a boy named Cayden. And a middle-aged woman named Varina. I've known her since I was little and I've always thought that sounded like an old lady name.

The only one I even half like is Cayden, sorry.

I like Audria, Alayna (but I like the Alaina spelling better), Jac (Although I would spell it Jack), and Adrea (I would spell it Adria).

How do you pronounce Linnea...is it like Lena?

I really don't like any of them, sorry. Audria is okay. I'd go with Audria.

lih-NAY-uh. It's Swedish, the name of a flower, originally after the name of Carolus Linnaeus.

I'm not really up on the history of names, but a lot of these sound as though they grew out of other names originally, or are at least similar to more well known names:

Audrey - Audria
Aidan - Cayden
Gina/Jean - Jeana
Jocelyn - Jazlin
Marlene/Alan - Alayna
Jack - Jac
Lina - Linnea
Corinne - Crina
Elvira/Vera/Alvin - Alvina
Marina - Varina/Nerina
Andrea - Andras
Innes - Inez

Audria reminds me of the rodent "nutria." Not sure why....but it does. :/ Yuck.

The only name on there I like Alayna.

Varina
Audria (Audra)

I was about to comment, I would associate the name with Linnaeus.

Audria is a lovely variation of Audrey...especially being that Audrey seems to be so popular now, Audria might be a little less common.
I like Adrea too.

I'm only speculating as to what the origins of names may be, but it is interesting.
