-Jocasta- i like this spelling of it best.
-Kai- i like this as a unisex name.
-Andrea- i like this name :)
-Alexandra/Alessandra- ditto :)
-Adrasteia- too much of a mouthful for me.

Male:
-Andrew- one of my favourite names!
-Autumn- do not like on a boy, sorry.

Unisex:
-Addison- i could give or take this name. i don't hate it, but don't love it, either.
-Erin- i like this name, though i prefer Aaron as the male spelling.

i like dahlia and delia, and willow too. how is autumn a boys name? its so common as a girls, i wouldnt do that to a boy.

also, like kai as a boys name, but not really as a girls.

Most of your names I like, especially Alexandra, Andrew, Andrea, Delia, and Rae. However, I've always seen Rio as a boy's name - since it's Spanish for "river," and River is traditionally used on boys, and also because the word "rio" is masculine; Kai is also a boy's name to me.

Also, I've NEVER seen Autumn on a boy; I like the name a lot (although I wouldn't use it), but I've never seen it used on a boy. It's way too popular on girls for it to be unisex (and before anyone totally yells at me for being hypocritical, I also think that there are boys' names that are too popular on boys to be considered unisex).

I'm also really not digging the Aeryn spelling. I saw that and was like, "Huh?!" I think that might actually be worse than Ayden. I do like Aaron and Erin a lot, but Aeryn is horrible.

I really only like the unisex names listed. Not really surprising as I'm a pretty big unisex name fan.

Also, I had never met a male Autumn until a couple of days ago! I went with my parents to a furniture store and the man that was helping them was named Autumn. At first it surprised me as I had no idea it had ever been considered for a boy, but after the initial shock it didn't really bother me.

i like: Willow, Alexandra, Addison (for a girl) & Aeryn. :) i prefer Autumn on a girl though.

YAY!! Someone else who likes Adrasteia!!! I plugged it in the the popularity link someone posted the other day and nooooooooooo one had the name.

:)

Jocasta would be a terrible thing to name a kid. Especially if they ever had a son. Kai is a Finnish (I think) boy's name, and Rio, as someone already pointed out, is masculine as well. Alexandra and Andrea are nice, though. The spelling Aeryn is just...terrible (they're going to be pronounced the name, why make it yuneeck?) and Aki is not a name I've ever heard of.

[djador.livejournal.com]

Rio is my guilty pleasure name. =]

Aki reminds me of Yucky but I like it because it makes me think of Aki Berg and I like hockey. haha.

Aeryn looks kind of dumb to me but I do like the name Aaron.

why?

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

i've never really been all that fond the name Aaron/Erin before.. but i actully love way you spelled it "Aeryn".. and i'm not a big fan of all the wacky ways people are spelling names now..

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

It makes me happy to see people use Kai as a girl name, I'm a Kai!
I think Rio is a cool name, reminds me of the Duran Duran song. Delia is really pretty. I like Andrew too.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Jocasta - makes me think of The Odyssey, because that is the only place I have ever heard it.
Kai - like it, but better on a boy.
Love Delia, don't love Dahlia.
Marilyn is nice.
Rae is better than Rhae, but looks a bit incomplete. It seems like a nickname for Rachel.
Pomona makes me think of the college.
Rio seems male to me.
Willow is lovely.
Andrea is not my style but I love the nickname Andie.
I love Alexandra. Alessandra, not so much.
Adrasteia... what?

Andrew is a favorite.
Autumn is a girl's name to me.

Addison I love but it's becoming popular.
Erin is nice for a girl. I don't like Aeryn.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Autumn on a boy is calling for queer jokes :P

Out of your girl's names I like Marylin, Rae and Alexandra.
Don't like any of the others, sorry

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Is Kai short for something?

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

She was the mother of Oedipus, ended up marrying her son unknowingly and giving birth to their incestuous children, then hang herself

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the best part, when her son graphically jabs his own eyes out and walks around with blood pouring from the sockets, hugging his children/siblings!

That's what Jocasta always makes me think of, too, which is funny, considering the meaning.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

-Jocasta/Yocasta/Iocaste - As mentioned above, always makes me think of Oedipus Rex, not the best association.
-Kai - I always think of this as a boy's name, because the only Kai I've ever known is a boy. It seems like a cute nickname for something on a girl.
-Rae/Rhae - I love it as a nickname for Rachel, but I don't know about it on its own.
-Rio - She dances on the sand and she don't need to understand.
-Autumn - One of my favorites!...On a girl.

Re: Jocasta: seriously.

[isoldereverie.livejournal.com]

I love the spelling Aeryn, too. I never really liked Erin at all. I grew up with a friend (a girl) named Aaron, but I agree that spelling seems more masculine. I love the way Aeryn looks. I'm really warming up to it~ might add it to my list.:)

[gangwaygirls.livejournal.com]

-Jocasta/Yocasta/Iocaste - Um.
-Kai - It's okay.
-Dahlia/Delia - Eh.
-Marilyn - Too old ladyish.
-Rae/Rhae - No.
-Pomona - Looks like someone misheard "Ramona."
-Rio - No, no, no.
-Willow - It's a guilty pleasure of mine.
-Andrea - It's okay.
-Alexandra/Alessandra - Nah.
-Adrasteia - WHAT.

-Andrew - Can't go wrong with Andrew.
-Autumn - I've always thought of it as a girl's name (which I like).


-Addison - No, no, no.
-Erin/Aeryn - Erin is fine for a girl; Aaron is acceptable for a boy.
-Aki - Yucky.

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

It's short for Kailani. I usually introduce myself as Kai though, it's easier for people to pronounce.

[intothesea.livejournal.com]

I love the name Dahlia Pomona (as first and middle). Absolutely in every way.
You've picked some nice names.

[minga13.livejournal.com]

I like the spelling Aeryn
I personally would never use Kai considering I live in New Zealand, it's the Maori word for 'food'
