I'm sorry, but I think it is too risky to name someone Mandalyn or Ambelyna. Remember, even though you're having this baby, you don't know who this person is, and what they're tastes will be like. If you compare your tastes to your mother's, though, chances are, you have different ideas about what looks good/sounds good/tastes good. Your daughter will probably likewise have different tastes than you.
Everyone riskes giving their child a name they won't like, because a child can't voice an opinion yet at birth. However, you do want to maximize your child's chance of happiness with her name, and I'm afraid that those two names are too specific to your tastes and too unlikely that another person will like them/ enjoy writing them and hearing them every single day of thier lives.
Please don't give your child either of those names. Autumn, Serenity, and Layla are fine. I don't know, but maybe you would like:
most of those names i very much dislike, but thank you for sharing. Destiny is the only one i really like but i can't use it because an old friend of mine named her daughter destini. Faith is nice too, but i'd probably not use it.
