I think a good rule of thumb with names is that if you need to give the pronunciation, the child will have to do the same for his/her whole life. No fun.

Other than the few that are tough to pronounce, which you identified yourself, I like these names! Aedan (with a different spelling), Liam (as a nn for William), and Olivia all seem to be very popular right now, so I would personally stray away from those.

yeah, but, I'm only 19; I'm not planning on having children for 7 or 8 years. I think I should be good by then, haha.
