I like Lilly-Anne Kamille. best i think.
But prefer Lily-Ann.

Emilee Joshlynn is also one i like but again, prefer Jocelyn

James Keiran is nice to. I knew a kid in hs and whenever I see keiran i think of him cuz his name is kinda similar. its Kian,(key-on). I think thats a great name too :)

ive always loved the name charles, and i think charlie is an adorable nickname. and i think scarlett is really pretty too! lilly-anne is what my mom wanted to name me but it doesnt sound good with our last name.

i like all except zephry, zipporah, joshlyn, and zepheniah.

and i really prefer names to be spelled correctly, not because i don't like creativity...but i have a reallllllly lonnnnng last name, and i know how it is to have EVERYONE mispell my name. so if at all avoidable, i'd stay away from "kameryn" and such. but that's just me, i guess.

oh, and my name is emily.

Spelling names in "yooneek" ways is one of my biggest pet peeves. The kids is going to have to correct everyone and it seriously gives them a very "white trash" connotation (and I don't mean that YOU are white trash, just that people will assume that judging by the spellings). I'm not trying to be a bitch, I'm just warning you that naming your kid a misspelled name, especially when it's as severely mispelled as "Kameryn", it's pretty much asking for them to be ridiculed in school.

That said, I really like Scarlett Jane (without the y), Felicity Anne, and Lilly-Anne Camille (with a C) for girls and Charles Reese, Elijah Cain, and Stephen Samuel for boys.

Please, don't take what I'm saying as an insult, I'm only trying to offer my opinion on the spellings.

I like Zipporah spelled Tzipora, but other than that, I really like your list :)

Those names aren't nutty at all. I like Lilly-Anne Kamille, and Scarlett Jayne is very cool.

:/ i dont know how many other people agree with you. But i totally don't think unique spellings make a name have a white trash conotation. Ive never met anyone whos said that either, why does that equal white trash and ridicule in school, to you?

I found it in a really heart-rending book called Night (by Elie Wiesel).

Not a fan of kr8iv spelling here, sorry :/
So Kameryn and Emilee are no-no's to me.
I like your boys' names better, I'd never heard of Zepheniah and it sounds very interesting :) is it a known name or did you make it up?

I like Scarlett, Luke and Elijah Cain (although maybe a bit too biblical!). I'm not a fan of kre8tyve spellings though. I only like Rhys on a boy and I only like it spelled Rhys. Kameryn is a crazy spelling and I don't like it on a girl. Cameron is nice for a boy though!

I actually really like Kameryn, but then I didn't read it as an alternative spelling of Cameron... I think it's cos it's got a different sound at the end. I think it's very pretty :D

Lilly-Anne Kamille - I do prefer just Lily, but Kamille (or I like Camille) Is lovely.
Felicity Anne - I LOVE Felicity, Felicity Anne is wonderful. Though my daughter's name will be Felicity Mariella
Reece Hope - Don't like Reece for a girl, but i love Hope.
Kameryn Zipporah - Cameron Zipphorah is fine. Kameryn is.. annoyingly spelt.
Zephry Lee - I don't like Lee, I'd pair Zephry with a much more feminine name. Zaphry Eloise or something.
Emilee Joshlynn - ouch. I hate this spelling. I don't really like the name Emily anyway. Joshlynn looks like you wanted a boy to call josh.. if it's after someone at least save it for the boys.
Scarlett Jayne- gorgeous.
BOYS:

Charles Rease- If the nn is Charlie, I really like it.
Andrew Rangler - Don't like this at all. Assosciation though.
James Keiran (Kere-en) - Love, but I prefer the name Kyran (kye-ren)
Stephen Samuel- Too alliterative. Don't like either names.
Elijah Cain - Very religious, I do like Elijah, but not Cain so much.
Luke Zepheniah (Zeffen-I-Uh)- I's love it if it was Lucas Zepheniah.
Nehemiah (Nee-uh-My-Uh) James- Too feminine.


I don't think you're a nut job!

i don't like reece hope because they are both one sylabll names and to me when the names have the same number of sylablls they just don't flow nicely together.

I love that book. It is definitely heart-rending.

A good rule to go by: If you have to write out pronunciations so people can decipher how the crap to say it, it's not a good name. Other then those kre8tive butchered names and the made-up looking ones, I'd say what's left is pretty trendy and not exactly eclectic, in my opinion. Camille is so very cute.

Really? Then why not spell it Kamryn, without the E? I'm not trying to be snooty or anything; I'm genuinely curious! Kamryn is quite nice, and would keep people from mispronouncing Kameryn.

Sorry to add another "not a fan of some of the spellings"... but on the other hand, the ones spelled intuitively I do like a lot.

Zephry is probably my least favorite because Zephyr is one of my favorite names, and I think people would constantly misread Zephry, like I did, even if it is a totally separate name! We're all programmed to glance, y'know?
