[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

thank you!

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

These were my favourites from your list:

David Forrest
James Oliver
Oliver James
Elijah Cain
Elijah Wade
Andrew William

Audrey Phoenix
Elizabeth Grace
Felicity Hope

I like Forrest and Phoenix as middle names. Audrey Phoenix sounds great. The only ones I really didn't like were Jackson and Elliot.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

you like Felicity Hope? you're the first :) thank you!

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Aw, really? I love Felicity, and I think it sounds great with Hope. :)

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Me too. My mom said it reminds her too much of a celebrity kids name. I was like "oookay... apparently you haven't heard that Gweneth Paltrow named her child APPLE."

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I like Forrest, Henry, David, William, James, Elijah, Wade, and Andrew. My favorite combos are Forrest Henry (although I know you don't have that one listed), James Andrew (again...), Elijah Wade, William Dirk, and Andrew William. I prefer James Oliver to Oliver James.

For the girls, I like Audrey, Molly, Grace, Elizabeth, Abigail (but not Abigale), Anna, Harper, Felicity, Sophia, Scout, and Fiona.

Elliot is a boy's name, completely, and I absolutely hate the idea of using it on a girl. You have some fantastic names there that are classic/timeless names for girls, but Elliot (*especially* Elliot Phoenix) is trendy sounding on girls. Also, as a feminist, I get really annoyed with the idea that girls need to have boys' names to be considered "strong." What's wrong with a girl named Audrey or Elizabeth showing strength?

That said, I really like the majority of your names.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I agree with you, but I've always seen Elliot as a girls name, same with Dylan. I have family members that are girls named Elliot and Dylan so I suppose that's why. Thank you though - I do like Forrest Henry - it's adorable!

[missmaxattax.livejournal.com]

My favorites:

Forrest Harper
Aiden Forrest
Oliver James

Audrey Phoenix
Grace Finley
Elliot Phoenix (even despite my love for Elliott on a boy :P)

and I really don't like Felicity Hope together. I love Felicity.. but not with Hope.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

thank you :)

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I love:

Henry Forrest
David Forrest
William Dirk

Bonnie Phoenix
Audrey Phoenix
Molly Teagan

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Thank you! William Dirk is one of the cutest names imo :).

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I like all of your names with the exceptions of Bonnie (sounds a little old to me), Phoenix (I'm just anti-city names) and Tziporah (too unusual for my taste).

I especially like Oliver James, Henry Jackson (I think Oliver Henry is a cute name, too), Elijah Cain, Audrey, Molly Teagan, Elizabeth Grace and Anna Elliot.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

thank you! Bonnie is old - it's my grandmothers name and I promised her I'd name one of my kiddos after her.

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

I find it kinda funny that you have Fiona Mae as a name, my sister and our friends call one of our cats Fiona Mae (which is her given full name ;-) ). I used to not like the name Fiona until we got said cat and that was what my brother named her.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

oh, wow

[aderyn333.livejournal.com]

Boys:
Oliver James
Elijah Cain

Girls:
Abigale Joy
Felicity Hope

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

thank you!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I really like Forrest Harper (never considered Harper for a boy, but hey, it sounds pretty good! =)), Oliver James, Elijah Cain...and I like pretty much all your girls names, except for Bonnie, Tziporah & Gita =).
I especially love Sophia Dawson, Audrey Phoenix & Elliot Grace. I'm a sucker for Elliot on girls ;)

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

So am I - I really love the name Elliot on a girl. I've got a cousin in her 30's named Elliot.

[idrinkacidrain.livejournal.com]

Hmm, these aren't too bad.

Forrest Harper - I like Forrest, but not Harper
Forrest Dirk - What about Dirk Forrest?
Henry Forrest - Gorgeous Henry and not so good Forrest. Fine.
Aiden Forrest - Aidan is the correct spelling. Aiden is awful. I like the combo, but Aidan is so popular.
David Forrest - Gorgeous. David is great.
William Dirk - Gorgeous.
James Oliver - Gorgeous.
Oliver James - Alright.
Elijah Cain - Elijah isn't to my personal taste, but there's nothing wrong with it. Go for it.
Elijah Wade - Ditto.
Solomon James - Better than Forrest.
Henry Jackson - What about Henry Jack or Henry John? NOT JACKSON!!
Jackson Dirk - Not Jackson. Please, not Jackson. John nicknamed Jack, or just Jack. But not Jackson.
Andrew William - Great. One of the best on your lists. I like the nickname Drew.

Girls:
Bonnie Phoenix - Bonnie is cute, almost cloyingly so. Phoenix is a place name.
Audrey Phoenix - Audrey is lovely, Phoenix is not.
Molly Teagan - Mary nicknamed Molly would be so stunning I might have to faint. Teagan is a faux Irish name that I dislike strongly. What about Molly/Mary Violet, Molly/Mary Harriet, Molly/Mary Estelle?
Grace Finley - Grace is beautiful and Finley is a boy's name. EW.
Elizabeth Grace - Grace is so fillery as a middle name. 35% of my year has the middle name Grace. 25% have Rose, then the rest is other names or Marie or Anne. Very pretty, though.
Abigale Joy - Abigail is nicer, even though I detest the name.
Anna Harper - Anna is great! Harper is bad. Bad bad bad.
Tziporah (pron. Zipporah) Faith - Unless you have some heritage to back it up.
Felicity Hope - Wonderful.
Elliot Grace - Just... no thank you. Boy name (surnamey, trendy boy name), then trendy girly filler middle.
Anna Elliot - Anna is great, as I've said, Elliot is not good at all.
Elliot Phoenix (also unisex) - What in the world? Since when has Elliot been unisex? No. No way. Nor is Phoenix, but that's much better on a girl than Elliot.
Sophia Dawson - Dawson's Creek. Unless Dawson is a family name, NO.
Gita (pron Gee-tah - means pearl in Hungarian) Scout - Name the kid Gita Felicity or Gita Pearl or something and call her Scout. Scout was not the character's real name!
Fiona Mae - Very pretty.

If you name a girl a boy's name, expect her to be mistaken for a gay man for the rest of her life. What's so great about unisex names when you have the feminine gems Fiona Mae, Elizabeth Grace (I prefer Elisabeth) and Felicity Hope?!

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I like the name Phoenix - has nothing to do with Phoenix, AZ and everything to do with the legend of the Phoenix bird. It has a lot to do with my faith, as do a lot of the names you see as "filler names". Tziporah is biblical (spelt Zipporah - Tziporah is Russian), again, affiliated with my faith. Elliot is a family name as is Dawson - both on girls - as well as Dylan. I don't see them as manly names at all. I know men named Ashley. I hate the name Mary, I always have. I think it's a filler name, as is Marie and Anne (which is why I chose Anna). Naming a kid Gita Pearl would be redundant. I like the name Teagan - it might be trendy but I like it, even before Teagan and Sara were around, and as far as Jackson goes, it's also a family name - last name, albeit, but a family name none the less that I like. I do love that you liked Andrew William. My great grandfather would be flattered as it's his name. Most of the names on my list are family-inspired. I'm weird like that. The names I like are either biblical, family based or from books (IE: Scout, Harper - never gonna stop liking those). Thanks for your opinion!

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

WDYT of Henry James and Molly Grace?

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

I love Henry James!! Molly Grace is cute too :)

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I was thinkin' so too.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I like these ones:
Forrest Harper
Henry Forrest
David Forrest
Oliver James
Audrey Phoenix
Molly Teagan
Elizabeth Grace
Felicity Hope

I love Phoenix, Henry and James!

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

thank you! I lovelovelove that you like Felicity Hope :).

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I absolutly LOVE Felicity, it's really growing on me! Hope I'm fairly neutral on, although I don't mind it!

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I swear it's not a filler name - it actually has significant meaning to me. I love Felicity, period, but Hope is the only mn I seem to like with it. Any other ideas?

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Fair enough!
Felicity Carys
Felicity Jane
Felicity Adelaide
Felicity Alice

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Felicity Adelaide is precious. I'm always careful to make sure I pair names with mn I think are sturdy, just in case my kiddo hates their first name for some reason. I really like Carys too - is it pron Car-iss or Cah-rees?

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Good idea!
Car-iss. I love it, and really want to use it cause my boyfriend is Welsh and we live in Wales, but it sounds rubbish with his last name!

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking I like Felicity Carys. It's adorable and I love Welsh names.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

:D and me! I've a huge long list of them!

Boys:
Oliver James
Henry Jackson
David Forrest
I prefer Forrest as a middle name, but all I think of when I hear it is "Forrest Gump".

Girl:
Molly Teagan (Love Teagan as a middle name, would also do Anna Teagan)
Sophia Dawson

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Hahahah @ Forrest Gump.. I love that movie

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

I love Forrest Harper and Audrey Phoenix.

I don't like James Oliver because of Jamie Oliver.

Anna Elliot reminds me of Anne Elliot, the main character in Persuasion by Jane Austen. It makes the name seem strange to me, but not bad at all.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I've never read the book though I have heard of it.

[lovebird.livejournal.com]

I don't know why but I love Grace Finley. Love Scout too, a la to Kill a Mockingbird since my hubby shot down both Scout and Harper lol.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Aww.
