[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

thanks!

I LOVE Grey :).

I'm the same way about the names I love, which is why, as fun as it seems, I haven't made a list to vote on.

I've never considered Evie as a nickname for Genevieve. That's very cute.

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

i'm so glad i'm not the only selfish one!! hehe!

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

yeah, i've never been very fond of Layne, but it's a family name and i think it sounds lovely with Xavier.. :)

i've never heard Genevieve prn the way you mentioned.. i think i like it!

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

aww.. thanks so much!! :)

Xavier James sounds lovely too.. very strong sounding together!

I lovity-love-love-LOVE Tamsin. One of my favorite names ever. Unfortunately, I will be marrying into a last name wherein this would rhyme, and not in a pleasing way (to my ears at least.)

Sterling has negative connotations to me (I knew a girl named that, although I know you have it listed for a boy.) But pretty much all your names I think are great. I can't blame you for being protective of them. :-) Good taste.

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

omg! thanks so much!! you have no idea how great that makes me feel.. :D

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

btw, added you as a friend.. hope you don't mind..

[kristinwitha-k.livejournal.com]

Of course not!

Be warned, I haven't updated in, oh, a bazillion years. I should do that. *makes guilty face* BUT, I always read my friends list and love to comment. :-)

Not a fan of any of your boys names, I'm afraid, but some of the girls and either names I liked are:
Anya
Gemma
Genevieve Evie)
Tamsin
Thalia
Corinne
Rowan

Ones I found interesting, because I'd never heard them as (first) names before were:
Morgandy - could be a nice name if I got used to it, I suppose.
Gentry - I can't imagine this as a name at all. How did you get the idea that it might be good as a name?
Harlow - unfortunately reminds me of a (quite cruel) experiment on monkeys, as this the surname of the psychologist behind it.

when i was younger i actually knew a girl named Jentri.. i love the name but wasnt fond of the spelling..

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

*loved*

[gangwaygirls.livejournal.com]

Gemma, Genevieve and Corinne are beautiful.

Everything else is a little too out there or tryndeigh for me.

[thatbitchfiona.livejournal.com]

What a wonderful list! Now I know I will name my kids Greyson, Tamsin, Genevive, Kingston, and Rowan. Thanks for the inspiration, you've really changed my and my husband's lives!

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

is that sarcasm i smell? lmao!

[thatbitchfiona.livejournal.com]

No, why would you think that? These are great names and I'm so glad I can use them! I was worried because I was so uninspired, but now I've gotten all my ideas from one post! It's amazing!

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

i am SO not sure if you're serious.. (i've read some pretty hateful comments on this site before..)

so, if you're serious i'm glad you like the names.. it's not often i find someone with my taste in names.. :)

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I think everyone is. :)


I really like Genevieve and Corinne. Those are both on my list too.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Xavier Layne - Like
Emreigh Anya- It sounds nice, the flow is satisfying but Emreigh looks tacky and trendy.
Gemma- Always hated the name Gmma, no real reason
Genevieve (Evie)- Love
Gentry - like the English Gentry? eh?

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

yes, as in english gentry..

[soulsplinter8.livejournal.com]

I am super territorial too. Don't feel alone in that. ;o)

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

thanks so much! it really makes me feel good to know that i'm not crazy.. (even tho my fam looks at me like i am when i get that way)

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

... Just wanted to mention gentrification. Not to raise your over-protective (self-described) hackles, of course.

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

that's definitely not the first thing that comes to mind when i think of Gentry.. so it doesnt bother me.. :)

[soulsplinter8.livejournal.com]

Sterling - Not my favorite. But I have a great story about it...my parents knew a guy once named Sterling Silva. No joke.
Greyson - Not my favorite either.
Kingston - I wouldn't use it as a first name.
Xavier Layne - I like this name. How would you pronounce it?
Emreigh Anya - Something about this name is really striking to me...in a good way. I can't put my finger on it, though.
Gemma - Not a huge fan. But I can see it being cute on a little girl, nice on a grown woman. :o)
Genevieve - I love this name!
Tamsin - Love it.
Thalia - Beautiful. Thalia was a Greek muse. ;o)
Morgandy - Kinda makes me think of a cross between Morgan and Normandy, haha. Not sure what I think about it.
Corinne - Love it. Like Corinna even more!
Gentry - Not my taste.
Rowan - I LOVE this name, but only on a boy. I can't see it as a girls' name at all.
Kinleigh - I like the sound of it, but something about the spelling makes me cringe. Maybe if it were spelled Kinley or Kinlay? I would use it on a girl.
Harlow - I like this...but I could only see it on a boy, I think.
