Trendy? I think trendy as being the names that have hit the trends.. such as Aiden/Jayden/Madison/McKenzie
Tehn there are the classics trendies Ava, Lily etc
None of these ring particuarly trendy to me.

Completely agreed, actually. The überpopular of 5-10 years from now!

Anna- Like, but i adore Annabel.
Helen- Hate
Aoife (probably used as a mn)- hmm it's okay.

You do have good taste, just not much to my taste! Quite old fashioned classics.

Actually, PhOEbe is the correct spelling.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

oh, I know it is.. whoops! I've never thought the spelling Phoebe never made much sense .. so when I came to comment on that name I typed Pheobe (which seems to) to see how it compared and obviously forgot to delete.

As long as you credit me, go ahead.

Boys:
Adrian
William
James (Jamie as a nn)
Declan

Girls:
Helen
Antonia
Natalia/Natalie

I prefer Natalie over Natalia, but either one is pretty.
I really like the name Helen though; it's really cute, but I don't think it would work on anyone between the ages of six and fifty.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

However, I don't like Jamie as a nickname. To me, it seems to lessen the strength of the name.

I love Leo, as its my son's name. Adrian is also great. For the girls I love Natalia and like Daphne.

I wouldn't call your names "trendy". Some of them might be a little bit, but not the list overall. There are some classic, beautiful names on your list too. :o)

Boys:
Adrian - Love it.
William - Love it.
James (Jamie as a nn) - I like this name alot, but because of some associations I have with it, I couldn't use the name for a child.
Leo - Not my taste.
Liam - I LOVE this name. One of my favorites.
Mark - Too common for me.
Langston - I like it.
Malcolm - Another of my favorites! :o)
Edmund - Another of my absolute favorites! We have alot in common, haha.
Patrick - I like this name alot.
Callum - Good one too.
Declan - I like it, but I don't think I could use it.

Girls:
Daphne - One of my favorites!
Phoebe - I like this name, but alot of people don't.
Eveline - I like Evelyn and Evangeline better.
Anna - I love the name Anna, simple and traditional as it is. :o)
Helen - I've known so many Asian girls named Helen that it kind of sticks in my mind like that. But I like it!
Aoife (probably used as a mn) - Love it.
Cathleen - I like it spelt with a K better, but I like this name alot.
Penelope - Not one of my favorites.
Thea - Maybe as a nickname for Theodora or something like that.
Ilse - Not my thing.
Antonia - Not my thing either.

The names sound very classical literary and, well, timeless.
I really like your choices for boys' names.
