Rex
Darcy
Kai
Hunter
Tate
Dakota (too bad it's so trendy)

I like Darcy (on girls) and Kai (on boys). I'm not sure what the genders are for those two, since I've heard them for both (ugh).

I hate Tate, Dakota, Aston, and I think Omen & Irony are *ridiculous* names.

[wowthatisminty.livejournal.com]

Darcy is a girl, as is Kai.

Kai and Beata are fairly common here in Germany.

I feel sorry for the kid named Irony. Omen isn't bad, but Irony?

I'm not wildly enthusiastic about any of these names, though I think I like Emelia the most from all of them.

[wowthatisminty.livejournal.com]

She goes by Emma.

How is Beata pronounced there?

The girl I know here pronounces it Beh (more like an open "bay")- ah- tah, and she's Finnish.

[in_excelsis_dea.livejournal.com]

Like that. Sometimes instead of an a at the end, it's spelled Beate. But the pronunciation is the same.

Omen and Irony are interesting names. I think they're pretty bad choices for the taking words for names thing, there. They just don't have very positive connotations for me.

I think Saramax is the most odd to me. It reminds me of these Cellular Max commercials that come on TV every morning before I went to school in elementary school. I think I'd say her name with the say force that they said CELLULAR MAX!! on the commercials.

hahahahahaha @ omen and irony. whewwwww.

I like Delphine =) That's it.
Omen & Irony are so bad. Why would anyone name their kid omen or irony? =\

I like Delphine, Davin, Hunter, Rex, and Elspeth. I don't mind most of the others, but Omen & Irony are awful, Ma'ayan makes me want to break it into three syllables where I suspect it's two, Saramax is bizarre, and myrrh is not pronounced "meer" so Myrrha does not equal Mira.

[wowthatisminty.livejournal.com]

I think in Hebrew it might be three syllables.
