Well, this is my first post. For the longest time Ive known my favorite boy and girl name. However, they are quite unusual. So I would like your guyses honest opinion. I dont want to saddle my kids with names that they will hate.

Ok, so, for a girl I like Stalina.
And for a boy I like Gavriel.

And just for fun, these are my other favorites.

Girl: Skyla, India, Josie, Kassie, Joah, Marie, Talise.
Boys: Ryan, Chance, Chase, Micah, James, Alecko, Alec, Matteo, Matthias.

If you want, you can also tell me what name combinations (first and middle) you like best out of my list.

Yeah, Ive worried about the whole Stalin thing too, so I was thinking of spelling it Stallina or Stalena.

Gavriel starts with an ah sound, so its kind of a combo of Gavin and Gabriel. Its the Russian form of Gabriel.

I think it can be pronounced either way. My nephew is named Gavriel, and we pronouce it like Gabriel but with a v. And for short we call him Gav (pronouced like gave.)

Btw, I really like the name Gavriel. :)

Wow, Ive never heard of anyone named Gavriel except for people in Russia. Thats so cool! Is your nephew Russian by chance? If not, where did his parents find out about the name?

No, they aren't Russian at all! haha. However, they are Orthodox, and I believe they got the name from some Russian people that attended their church. I'm not positive about that though. They picked that name because they thought it was unique. If you're looking for a name that no one else has, then I say you should use Gavriel. I think Ryan would be a good middle name.
