I have a cousin name Nell, so its after her, it actually isn't a nickname for anything, although she usually goes by Nellie.

And Emilie is the same as Emily :)

I love Campbell for a girl. Ever since I started watching Campbell Brown on the today show-I just think it's a lovely name. I lobbied hard to name my second daughter Teirnan! I know that Teirnan is the masculine form, but I just fell in love with it. Tierney is musical and not common this side of the pond yet. ;) Aidan and Finn are my favorite names from the boys list. Considering the whole list, Lux is the only one that strikes me as weird.

[shishenbelle.livejournal.com]

i love Campbell Brown - bummed she is leaving weekend Today! and Tierney and Tiernan are both awesome :)

Aidan and Finn are my favorites too!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Ha, I really like Campbell (nn Ella), that's such a great solution to use Ella (which I love to bits)!
I also like Emilie (prefer Emily, though, or Emilia), Morgan, Lux and Peyton in this order.
I'm not keen on Addison for a girl because all names ending in -son originally mean 'son of' and therefore are meant to be boys' names. And i also don't like any variant of Mailie, but I like this spelling if it has to be that name.
I'm neutral about the others.

For a boy, the only one I like is Thomas.
I really like Finley, but Finn is a little dull, Kelly I like on a girl, although it was a boy's name originally.
I don't mind Hudson but Aidan is too trendy and the others sound a wee bit weird.

[shishenbelle.livejournal.com]

i'm the same for Ella - its a favorite and i like it as a nn for a slightly longer more substantial name :)

I like Emily too, still deciding between the two. And i love that you voted for Lux and Peyton - i adore both!

Finley to me seems girly, but i havent ruled it out as a long form of Finn

[lyndsaysworld.livejournal.com]

Girls:
Campbell -nn Ella: I like it :D it's cute.
Emilie: I use to want to name my daughter emilie but it has become to common.
Peyton: Love it!
Lux: Not my style.
Tennessee: Love it!
Nell: Cute for a nickname
Morgan: Love this name but to common.
Addison: Cute but not my style.
Maile (pronounced either My-lee or May-lee): I like both but like the spelling Milie better for the name my-lee
Avery: A boys name to me.
Tierney: Not my style.

Boys:
Aidan: I know a very bratty bad mouthed kid with this name he ruined it for me.
McCabe: I like Cabe better then McCabe.
Finn: I love it.
Thomas: Too common.
Hudson: Cute.
Grady: I love it
Grayer: Nanny diaries! I really like it but I like the name Grayson better and using both names would be wired.
Thatcher: Gray's anatomy! I like this name
Kelly: Don't like it for a boy

[shishenbelle.livejournal.com]

YAY! that you love Tennessee - i think its so cool! haha

Grayer is totally from Nanny Diaries haha

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

I really like Addison and Thatcher. I did start liking Addison because of Grey's Anatomy, but I liked Thatcher for other reasons.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/]

I like
Finn
Grady
Thatcher

I don't like surnames as first names, and I don't like unisex. I think surnames in front have a pretentious sound, and I have spent my whole life with people confusing my gender (and my name is Lindsey!) and it's very annoying and inconvenient.

That said:

Girls:
Campbell -nn Ella- see above
Emilie- Not bad, though she'd be misspelled constantly.
Peyton- see above
Lux- this is bizarre
Tennessee- this is a state
Nell- I prefer as a nickname
Morgan- Too much of a masculine sound, though feminine in origin I believe
Addison- see above
Maile (pronounced either My-lee or May-lee)- not bad
Avery- I think it's lovely, but I'd never use it as it's unisex
Tierney- see above

Boys:
Aidan- too common
McCabe- See above.
Finn- It's okay but I don't care for it.
Thomas- Nice
Hudson- See above
Grady- See above
Grayer- Grayer than what?
Thatcher- See above
Kelly- Too unisex.

[lneef.livejournal.com]

The origin of Morgan may be masculine, but it at least has some history as a woman's name (Morgan LeFay).

And Addison is definitely masculine, as is any name containing "son" or "Mc". It's the reason I cannot stand McKenzie for a girl.

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but I very strongly dislike all of those names with the exception of Emilie, Morgan, Thatcher, and Thomas. =\

[x-cherrydarling.livejournal.com]

Girls:
Campbell- Don't like it.
Emilie- It's alright. I prefer Emily, though.
Peyton- Love it on either sex, though prefer it slightly more on a boy.
Lux- Love it. Reminds me of The Virgin Suicides.
Tennessee- It's masculine. I prefer Alabama and Georgia as state names.
Nell- Maybe as a nickname for Penelope or Janelle.
Morgan- Don't like on either gender.
Addison- Hate it.
Maile- Cute, but if you're going for "my-lee", I'd spell it Miley. If you're going for "may-lee", I'd spell if Maylee.
Avery- Boy's name.
Tierney- Interesting. Not my style.

Boys:
Aidan- It's cute.
McCabe- Don't like.
Finn- As a nickname for Finlay or Phineas, it's cute.
Thomas- Don't like it.
Hudson- Don't like it.
Grady- Don't like it.
Grayer- Prefer simply Gray.
Thatcher- Like it.
Kelly- Like it.

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

I forgot that I *LOVE* the name Morgan for a girl.

[shishenbelle.livejournal.com]

Morgan to me can go either way - i dont find it to be more girl then boy - but who knows!

Glad you like Kelly for boys - i really dislike it as a girls name, but adore it as a boys name
