From Laura Wattenbburg babyname wizard, we now have NYMBLER! It's my new favourite site..

So the challenge is, type your top 6 names of each sex, post what they give you and if they're spot on or not.


Amelia, Annabel, Aurelia, Felicity, Ophelia, Esme

Charlie- Really hate for a girl, love for a boy.
Cornelia- I usually like all of the -lia names but this one is ugly.
Annabella- A little too over the top, but as you can see I love Annabel/Anabelle.
Araminta- Far too posh!
Agatha- old lady.
Clara- Don't like so much, but it reminds me of The Nutcracker which is pretty.
Verity- Quite like as a middle name.
Cecile- I like Cecily.. not Cecile it's too masculine.
Beatrice- Don't care for.
Adela- Bit tacky i think.
Christabel- Very pretty.
Dovie- Never heard this before.. i think it's odd. Probably old.
Zella- Weird.. No.
Beatrix- Don't like.
Philomena- Don't like.

Middle Names

Hope, Ella, Eloise, Elyse Juliet, Violet

Katy- I prefer this spelling to Katie. But I really do dislike the name.
Ava- Gorgeous.
Bessie- Too old fashioned.
AmeliaLove.
Mercy- Urghhhh soo horrible!
Lucy- Boring, plain.
Leila- Too wishywashy.
Violette Don't like the ending, I only like Violet.
Rose- Okay, terribly filler though.
Alberta- A state, too masculine.
Eva- pretty, but I prefer Evie.
Elsa-I quite like Elsie.
EleanorElinor/Elena I like.
Evelyn- love ti as a first name, I adore Evie.

Quinn, Joshua, Sebastian, Lucas, Jett, Rory
Alexis- Too feminine.
Jude- Really like. I love hey Jude.
Kai- To trendy.
Luke- I don't like it. I only like Lucas/Luca.
Reid- Hmm.. seems trendy but i do infact like it.
Matthew- Boring, but one of the better boring ones.
Finn - Like, I also like Finnlay
Dana - Too feminine.

Dexter - Cool..
Lennox - Lewis. Don't like.
Michael Boring boring boring.
Shea - Too feminine, but I don't even like it on a girl.

There's no point doing boys middle names, as I don't have a top 6. I only have Alexander!

Wow that took me a while! Really interesting though.. my new favourite site.

Delilah, Charlotte, Arden.

Carol - no
Hannah- okay, but I would never use it.

Anais - how do you pronounce it?
Josephine - pretty, but I wouldn't use it.

Jordan- no
Eleanor - not my style.
Afton - no

I don't really like any of their suggestions, but that isn't surprising. I have a hard time with girls names.

Roman - I like it.
Edgar - I like it somewhat.
Landon - too popular.
Edmund - nice enough.
Oliver - I think Oliver is adorable, but my fiancé doesn't like it.
Archibald - no
George - no
Tristan - This was really popular when I lived in SC a few years ago. It's okay.
Alvin - no
Wilbur - no
Rupert - no
Salvatore - sounds nice, but I wouldn't use it.
Max - Max is adorable
Aidan - my nephew's name and every other kid born recently.
Quentin - I like it.

Some of the suggestions were good for the boys names. Some were bad.

[silver05.livejournal.com]

I think it's pronounced "Anay-is" but I could be wrong. It is a weird one.

Your boys got some good names.

I just took my six favorite names, three boys and three girls. No middle names.

Girls

Sophia, Amelia, Beatrice

Isabella- Pretty! Makes me think of a princess.
Casey- No. Sorry, no.
Victoria- Also a pretty one, but not as well-liked as Isabella.
Susie- Too common.
Olivia- Conjures an image of a dark-haired doe-eyed girl, which is very pretty but I'm not sure if I like the name itself.
Elizabeth- I like it on other people but I'm not sure if I like the name itself.
Eleanor- Very elegant, I like.
Margaret- Not a fan. Not a bad name, but not a fan.

Boys

Casey, Samuel, Joseph

Julian- The first time I heard this name I thought it was a girl's. Since then I've learned, but it's still not my favorite name for a boy.
Salvatore- Great respect for any man able to pull this name off.
Jacob- I like this name, always have
Gabriel- It's a male name, but it's another one that makes me think of a girl.
Seth- I really like this name and can imagine giving my son this name.
Mason- I like this and Jason both.

Gabrielle Not a fan at all, my parents thought about calling me Gabriella though!
Sophie It's OK, wouldn't use though.
Rosaline Definitely prefer Rosalie.
Belle Don't like it.

Phoebe It's OK, wouldn't use.
Beatrice Prefer Beatrix.
Louise It's OK.
Isabella Definitely prefer Isabella.
Meryl No no no.
Mirabelle It's OK, bit too frilly somehow.
Caroline Nice enough name, wouldn't use.
Gisele Nice, but wouldn't use.

Boys

List generated from: Adam, Arthur, Raphael, James, Kai and Alexander

Abel Just no.
Simon I do have a soft spot for Simon as a name, like it a lot.
Felix Pretty cool name.

Wow, I maxed out on bible names there, my fault for liking Adams and angels I guess!

Didn't like too many of the names I got, but I did go all over the shop for my inspiration. Just from flicking through the more names options I did find some more I like:
Boys - Jonathan, Daniel, Benjamin, Andrew, Matthew, Stefan, William, Nico, Timothy, Edward.

Girls - Arielle, Lena, Leonora, Elsie, Katharine, Elodie, Alice, Elsa

Mostly names that were already on my radar though, not many new things. Neat site though, kind of interesting to see what names they come up with.

[laura-anne.livejournal.com]

Oh, it was also a bit annoying that they didn't have any info for some of my favourite names *sad face*
