Kaden Nicholas - It's fine, I prefer the Caden spelling, but this is ok. I agree it is very common. And much more so if you also consider the commonality of Jayden/Hayden/Aidan etc. (You may not know any now, but use it and I swear you will hear it everywhere you go. Just something to keep in mind. Your kid will not spend there whole life within the group of people you happen to know now.)
Journey - I like it, but I think I might prefer it as a girl's name. Girls seem to handle "different" names a little better. Boys get more grief for stuff like that. I'd use a pretty traditional mn, just should he end up wanting that option.
Mikayla Rose - Don't care for it. Mikayla is a very trendy name that's on its way out I think. It already sounds dated to me. (Think of the way a 70s name like Tammy or Tracy sounds now. That'll be Mikayla in a few years. Stale.) Rose is the mn of about every third girl born these days, that or Grace. I'd prefer something more special as a mn to give the combo a little more pop.
Joseyln Rose - I do love the name Jocelyn. Are you pronouncing it different with the S in there? And was the end part a typo with the y and l switched? Weird spellings are a headache. Get used to spelling it for *everyone* if you go that route.
I know a cute little girl named Jocelyn Acadia -- I think it's such a beautiful combo.

Good luck.
