To make a long story short, my paternal grandfather never knew his father or that side of the family. We recently connected with them via Ancestry. My grandfather's cousin added me on Facebook and I was going through her albums of her grandkids...

Jacen Anakin
Kain Aden
Sadie Ann

Maylynn Marie

Okay, so the Jacen Anakin made me laugh. Definitely a Star Wars fan.

Kain Aden and Sadie Ann aren't bad, but Maylynn Marie... I don't think that Maylynn sounds that bad, but I do not like the spelling. On the other hand, I don't know how else to spell it.

I'd go with Maelynn. Although the rest of the ones you wrote out would get the right sound, this one is the prettiest looking to me. But it explains why my daughter Maelle always gets her name pronounced MAY-el or MAY-lee instead of my-ELL (not that I expected people to pronounce it right; I just didn't know which mispronunciations to expect with her name till they started happening).

My husband really wanted Kain for our first son together, but I really didn't wanna tick his bible loving mother off even more. She already hated that I was American! So we used it fora middle name, which still ticked her off. Unfortunately we had major throwdowns about the first name and ended up settling on the ridiculously over used Ethan. Kinda wish we'd just gone for Kain instead. :/

Anakin is pretty hardcore fangirling for Star Wars. I have respect for that.

I like them. Of course I'm a sci-fi nerd & totally marked out for the Star Wars name. :)

I don't know. They sound awkward to me.
