Taryn is trashy and very ugly, so is Laney (and it's a surname). Landon is ok, Xavier is very ugly, Bethany is pretty, Joy is common but ok, Alexander & Noah are great.

I think Bethany Joy and Alexander Noah are both *really* beautiful
Taryn is very unfeminine and trendy (sorry) imo
Landon is ok but I prefer London
Also, you need to check the link for the proper meanings; some baby name books are misleading (most just plain wrong)
Have you thought about ... Tarina, Tarya, Terra, Tierra, Tyra :)

The only major complaints I have are:
Taryn is made up and childish. It's just a stick-a-random-syllable-in-front-of-lyn-for-a-wonderful-name name. Laney is spelt incorrectly and is childish. Bethany seems insubstanial to me. Landon is a (rather ugly) surname.
Your meanings are totally messed up.
Landon: from a SURNAME that means "long hill (ridge)"
Xavier: the new house
Taryn: elaborated form (polite for 'it's made up and crappy') of Tara, and anglicized form of Teamhair, which POSSIBLY means 'elevated place' in Gaelic
Laney: not in the database; made up. I assume it's a form of Helena/Elaine/Lani (Hawaiian)/Elena/Helen, etc.
Bethany: 'house of figs' (lovely)
Joy: joy
Alexander: roughly, 'defending men'
Noah: roughly, 'rest, comfort'

Nice, made-up meanings.
