i know what you mean-and some names I love but know someone with that name that I hate. like Beth-i always liked the name but my half sister is Beth Ann and I hate her (see posts about her!) And then there's my last name (eddy) which sucks because lots of cute names sound horrible with our last name LOL
of your list though-I like these
deirdre
nadia (but only if i had twins, a boy and a girl, so i could name the boy aidan)
lynette
sadie

cameron (is on my short list for our next child whether it be a boy or a girl camryn for a girl though)
hayden (is also on my short list!)
peyton
sean

the others are 'ok' but these are my favorites

I LOVE the name Brynn. My mom babysat a girl from a family with Irish roots (they said that's where the name came from) and her name was Brynn. I thought it was weird then b/c I'd never heard of it, but now I think it's beautiful.

Actually Brynn is a Welsh name (it means hill).
It's more common for boys, but well I guess pretty much everything can be unisex these days.

I quite like too, am partial to Welsh names as that's part of my heritage.

see i have a thing about names i like but would never use. like tattoos: good on other people, not for me.

of your list, those names would be:

Adria
Beth
Brynn
Cadence
Gwendolyn (although, i would consider it for a middle name)
Kylie
Layne
Page/Paige
Sabrina
Sadie

as far as your boys list goes....I like Cameron, Jordan, Hayden and Corbin. Probably wouldn't use the first three, but might use Corbin.

well, you asked:)

Edie is a girl's name. It's pronounced "EE-DEE," not "EH-DEE." Sometimes short for Edwina.

Gwendolyn is spelled correctly.

Yeah I have that kind of thing with a lot of names. Think they're nice and all, but don't like them enough to actually use. As I'm a writer I generally keep them for character names.

Most of those names I'm 'on the fence' about too. Though am partial to ...
Cadence
Coral (my late goldfish's name)
Edie (as a nickname for Edith)

Reid (would use as a middle name, has personal significance)
Talen

Also like Brynn, but for a boy.

I love your list of names! Ha ha, those are about all my favorite ones.

Brynn (or Bryn) I think is gorgeous. I really like Fallon, too but there is NO WAY I can convince my husband that it is'nt about Jimmy. I have heard it before w/ girls and they seem to be functioning fine in their social circles.

Corbin is my favorite boys' name at the moment. I love it!

Reid
Sheppard
Talen

Those three names above make my skin crawl, though.
