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, I know about stalin, I majored in Russian History in college. I threw the name out there to see if people would pick up on it. Since it seems that most people here have picked up on it, Im throwing out the spelling of Stalena, Stallina, and Stilina. I just love how it sounds, I dont like Stalin in any way, shape or form, thats for sure! (I pronounce it Sta-lena by the way, so I dont really think of stalin when I say it out loud.) It looks like I may have to drop liking this name tough! Maybe I should just go for Lena.

Here's something that might work for you: Stellina. It's apparently a variant of Stella (http://tools.oxygen.com/babynamer/TypeASearch.cfm?Gender=G&Unique=1&TellMeAbout=stellina). I don't think anyone would have a Stalin association with that.

Thanks!

Good :) I didn't mean to be snarky or anything - it's just that the association is very strong, at least for me.

Lena is nice.

And the poster below who said Stellina - it's a nice variant and doesn't sound "made up."
