Boys
I like: Blake, Brodie (Brody), Chase, Connor, Gabriel, Gavin, Killian, Landon, Malachy, Marek, Milo, Noah, Roman, Sawyer, Theo

Actually you have a few of my favourites on there, Gabriel, Killian and Malachy. I really like Marek too. =]

Girls
I like: Alyssa, Eva, Harper, Haley, Isabella, Juliet, Kendyl (Kendall), Maya

Juliet is one of my favourite girl names.

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

Yeah I really can't decide on the spelling of Brodie/Brody. I keep changing, haha.

And I used to spell Kendall your way until I became friends with a girl named Kendyl. Now when I see it any other way it looks wrong to me.

By the way, love your icon, Charlie is yummy, haha.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I like a lot of your names, so I'm not gonna list them all, but one of my favourites is on there too: Roman! =)
The only names I dislike are Prior & Marek, but that's just a difference in taste, I guess.
Oh, I love the name Lennon too!=)

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad someone likes Lennon..gotta have my little tribute to John. The name Dean is in there for James Dean, too.

Have you ever seen the movie Angels in America? That's where I got Prior from. I think if you see it, it'll grow on you, haha. The character is badass.

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

Love love love Aurelia, it is my absolute favorite name ever! I also love the name Lena.

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

How do you prefer to pronounce Lena? Like (Lay-nuh) or (Leen-ah)?

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

Lee-nuh

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

First of all, Blair is my favorite name ever, but for a girl. Though I suppose it's okay for a boy too.

I like: Connor, Finley, Allison, Alyssa, Haley.

And Scout as a guilty pleasure name.

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I originally heard the name Blair for a guy, but it seems like it's become more associated with girls. I'd probably name a girl that, too. I like it either way! :)

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Finley for a boy. So many people see it as a girls name now. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks otherwise!

I also love:
Connor
Gabriel [my cousin - he gets called Gabe]
Jonah [another cousin! their other brother is Elijah]
Milo is really cute too
Noah

Aurelia
Juliet
Lena
Marielle

[djador.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of Finley on a girl, but I much prefer it on a boy.

[bluekoala.livejournal.com]

Of your girls' names, the only ones I really like are Allison, Haley, Leah, and Maya, and that makes me look bad because they're arguably the most common on the list, but the others are all really "eh" to me. The ony ones I really don't like are Kendyl and Cadence.

I like your boys' names for the most part. Is Calin like Colin? If so, I think Colin looks better by miles and miles. I like Chase and Jonah. Theo is too nickname-ish.

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

Calin is actually "Cay-lin". I didn't even look at it as another way to spell Colin, that'd be annoying indeed, haha.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Out of the boys, I like Dean, Finn (not really Finley), Gavin, Holden, Roman and Sawyer.
Out of the girls, Juliet, Maya and Scout.

Ayla looks kre8tyf to me, and Aiden, if I liked it, would be spelt -an.

[omfg----hxc.livejournal.com]

My faves are Brodie for a boy and Evangeline for a girl.

PS LOVE YOUR ICON!!!!!!!

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaaaaaay Across the Universe! Love yours, too!

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Love: Ethan, Finley, Gabriel, Jonah, Jude, Milo, Noah, Sawyer, Theo
Allison, Harper, Juliet, Leah, Lena, Maya, Scout

Like, but wouldn't use myself: Aiden, Blake, Connor, Dean, Gavin, Holden, Liam
Ava, Eva, Haley, Isabella, Alyssa (I prefer Alissa, but Alyssa is okay, too; I dislike it for personal reasons, not name-related ones)

Hate: Blair (I've always seen this as a girl's name, but I don't like it on either gender), Brodie (I HATE this name, and I can't even tell you why; it seems so trashy, like Destiny does on a girl; Brody is somewhat better, but still, just, eww), Calin (Colin is okay, but Calin looks made-up), Killian (nickname=Killer? Ugh), Malachy (Malachi wouldn't be bad...), Marek, Prior (as in Richard?), Rhys, Roman
Ayla (it's like a made-up form of Shayla and Kayla, etc.), Cadence (I'm a drummer, so all I can think of is the musical references, and I don't like the name; Cady is a cute nickname, though), Kendyl (kr8ive spelling of a name I already hate; Kendall would be tolerable, but still bad), Kina, Meena



Although it looks like the "Names I Hate" list is much longer, it's only because I added comments. I really do like most of your names, especially Jude, Noah, Jonah, Theo, Sawyer, Ethan, Juliet, Leah, Allison, and Harper.

What about:
Finley Jude
Sawyer Dean
Theo Gabriel

Juliet Allison
Leah Harper
Alyssa Scout

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

I really think Finley Jude & Leah Harper sound cute, thanks for those suggestions!

And Calin is pronounced "Cay-lin", not a made up spelling of Colin, haha.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

names i really like:

boys: brodie (this is my preferred spelling too), gabriel, jonah, jude, finley/finn (though i am more partial toward using finn for a girl), landon, liam, milo, noah, sawyer, and theo.

girls: harper, isabella, scout.

the ones i really dislike with a passion are: calin, chase, connor, hart, kane, killian, marek, aurelia, cadence, kendyl (yuck on the spelling, sorry), kina, meena.

Blair - Don't like it for a boy.
Blake - Never have liked this name.
Brodie - My cousin named her little girl Brodie but it is a cute boys name.
Calin - How would you pronounce this? Looks too familiar to Kaylin, the girls name, which I don't like either.
Chase - Love the name Chase.
Connor - Love the name Connor too.
Dean (middle name only) - Don't like
Ethan - Love the name Ethan.
Finley ("Finn") - LOVE it.
Gabriel (middle name only) - Like it and definitely agree it works better as a middle name.

Hart - Like it as a middle name.
Holden - Like this name.
Jonah - Love this name, 100%.

Prior - Don't like this one
Rhys (middle name only) - Charles Rhys is one of my favorite boy names, so I love this

F:
Allison - I don't like this one

Evangeline - Love this name. It's classic and beautiful.
Harper - I love unisex names and this one has been growing on me lately.
Haley - Too overused, don't like
Isabella - My cousins name is Isabella (it's Spanish for Elizabeth and my Aunt likes Biblical-ish names)
Juliet - Don't like. Love Shakespeare, hate his names (except for Ophelia).
Kendyl - Kendall is cuter.
Kina - Ky-Na or Kee-na?
Kyra - I'll always associate this as a dogs name because my friend Danielle had a dog named Kyra
Leah - As a middle name, yep
Lena - Don't like
Lilia - Lilly or Lila, yeah, Lilia, not so much
Marielle - Don't like this one
Maya - Love the name Maya. It's a good friend of mines name.
Meena - Like this one :).
Scout - Favorite.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

PS - Scout, Harper...
To Kill A Mockingbird?

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

TKAM is definitely one of my favorite books, so that's where Scout comes from. And I actually got Harper from one of my favorite films, Angels in America. I suppose it's just a coincidence it goes along with Harper Lee. Maybe I should throw Atticus into my boys list, haha.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I have a friend named Atticus Lee. No joke.

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]

Calin pronounced "Cay-lin". I'd actually heard it as a boys name before a girls name.

I go back and forth between the spelling of Malachy. I can't decide if I like it better with the i or the y.

And yep, Merek like Derrek.

EVERYONE has been shooting me down about the spelling of Kendyl, haha. I used to spell it like Kendall on my list until I became friends with someone who spells it -dyl. Now when I see it with the -all it looks wrong to me.

Kina like Kee-na.

[hockeychick57.livejournal.com]
