My best friend is having a baby in October & still needs a name. Right now she likes
Evelyn, Kayden, Danielle and Alexis.

Any suggestions for names that are kind of like this?
Thanks!!

I love Evelyn... Alexis is okay, and I don't like the other two.

Suggestions:
Charlotte
Natalie/Nathalie
Leah
Caroline

I like Evelyn and I'm biased as my name is Alexis (and I love my name, though is way more popular than it was when I was a child). I'd stick with more classic names.

by "kind of like this" do you mean classic like Evelyn, Danielle, and Alexis? or trendy/crappy like Kayden? it's kind of a polar-opposite range there.

"Classic" is waaaaay in right now, and Evelyn fits that bill but isn't super-duper popular, yet, so totally a cool name. I think Eve variants are, though, so it might be worth checking the social security name lists if your friend's worried about her baby being in a class with 4 other Evies.

Alexis and Danielle were more popular a little more recently, but are two totally great names, I think. They aren't old-timey twee but they're still solid. I would personally avoid anything that rhymes with Aidan just because Aidan/Jayden/Braden/other ay-dan names have been super popular. Classrooms are going to be full of them. XD

Maybe Nathan, instead? It's similar, still has ay-an, but it's a "real" name, not that common, great nicknames (Nate, Nat). If she likes Danielle she might like Nathaniel, too.
