Christian Joseph (brother: Nathan) - I love Nathan and Christian as a sibset!
Scarlet Elizabeth
Julian David

Krisztofer? :/

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I think it's Hungarian or something. They seem to be from Eastern Europe.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

If it is, then fair enough!

Christian Joseph (brother: Nathan) - like Christian, love Nathan.
Andrew William Peter (sister: Katherine) - if Katherine was spelled Catherine, I would LOVE these names.
Maya Ashley-Clara - Maya is okay; Ashley-Clara is a little much.
Avery Katherine (brother: Gavin) - Eww. I hate Avery, and I hate Gavin.
Joshua Daniel (sister: Cathleen) - Okay, but not one I'd use.
Nathaniel Charles - Love it.
Ava Elizabeth (brother: Tyler) - Ava and Tyler are both overused, but I like Elizabeth.
Lilyan Rose - Eww.
Brenton Jonathan (sister: Alivia) - Yuck, on both counts.
Jacob Jeffrey Lawrence - Okay, but not one I'd use.
Scarlet Elizabeth (brother: Parker) - Scarlet is okay; Parker is trendy, but better on a boy than a girl.
William and Benjamin - great names.
Emmerson Ray - Emerson Ray would be tolerable, but I don't like Emerson as a first name on either gender.
Luka John (sister: Gabriella) - Both okay names.
Julian David - Love it.
Selina Angela - Yuck.
Natalie Sofia (sister: Christina Zoe) - Love Natalie Sofia; Christina Zoe is okay, too.
Bailey Sinclair (siblings: Ryley, Lacey, Jesse) - Is Bailey a boy or a girl? Ditto for Ryley. I hate both names. Jesse is nice, but Lacey is...ugh.
Kaitlynn Rose - Trendy.
Marissa Sam and Isabella Marie - Hahahah Marissa Sam cracks me up because I have friends named Marisa and Samantha who are dating. I like it, though I'd use Marissa Samantha. Sam is too nicknamey for a middle name. Isabel Marie would be tolerable, but I hate Isabella.
Anthony John (sister: Scianna) - Love Anthony John; I don't like Scianna.
Natalia Katherine (siblings: Anthony, Alessia) - I'd like Natalie Katherine better, but I like all three names.
Murray Gordon - Ehh.
Justin Alan (sisters: Rylie, Paige) - Dated. I like Paige, but Rylie needs to just...STOP.
Emma Katherine - I'd prefer Emily Catherine, but it's okay.
Oliver Brian (sister: Sophie) - Okay, but not one I'd use. I like Sophie.
Taliah - I prefer Thalia.
Chloe Chiara - Not a fan of either name.
Rhett Krisztofer (sister: Lexi) - I love Rhett, not so much with Krisztofer. Is that a legit spelling of the name in another culture, or is that just one of the most kr8yv ways I've ever seen it spelled? Lexi is okay if it's short for something (Alexandra, for instance)

I'm just curious as to why you think that Luka would be teased?

[decembermalice.livejournal.com]

At least in my elementary school, people got teased if they had too girly or too boyish names (if they were boys or girls, respectively.) Luka, ending in an a sound, would sound girly, at least by the playground standards at my elementary school.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Ah, well I don't think he'll have too much trouble, because there are about a million Luca/Lukas around here.

[decembermalice.livejournal.com]

I've never even heard it before except for in a book once.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

It's very Italian, and there are a lot of Italians where I live. There are also a lot of Eastern Europeans, and I think Luka is the Russian/Serbian etc. version. But they could just be Italians spelling it wrong.

Bailey, Ryley, Lacey and Jesse?


Blergh.
