the girls names are too trendy, and kind of frou frou for my taste, but i do like kyle for a girl.

i like a few of the boys names, mainly brady, and dylan. i dont mind william of course, its classic.

fwiw, i know a girl named colby (shes about ten) and i thought that was cute, and was much better suited for a girl than a boy.

[allykitty5.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know a girl named Colby too, its pretty.

[n0kittie.livejournal.com]

Kyle is a boys name.

[mamru25.livejournal.com]

I know a woman named Kyle. She is 25.

Girls names - chuck all the first names (Kyle is a boy's name) and keep Rebecca & Michelle.
Rebecca Michelle sounds good.

Boys names - William Sean is good. I like Colby Alexander. Please keep Colby a boy's name. Dylan Jeffrey & Brady Owen are ok.

I like Rebecca as a middle name but I'm not sure if I'd like it as a first name

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

I've only ever heard Hayden and Kyle on boys, though obviously people are telling you differently. Either way, I think I like Elisha Peyton best for girls. For boys, I like all of those names. Colby is my favorite, but I personally don't care for Alexander at all.

[daveandmonika.livejournal.com]

that made me chuckle..saying hayden and kyle are boys names and then saying you like elisha peyton (Elisha was the (male) prophet in the bible who took over for Elijah...and Peyton can be a girls or a boys name, though it is tending to lean toward girls right now)

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

I do not like any of the girl names. You're setting her up for being called a boy and the only boy names I even remotely like is Owen and Alexander.

Me no like.

Hayden Chiara
Hayden is super trendy. In thirty years it will probably sound like Tammy or Debbie does now. And this combo is ethnically mixed up. In my opinion, if unless you have the ethnic background/family reasons to use a name directly from another language, it's better use the English version. I'm pretty sure that Clara is the English version of Chiara, and it is a great name.

Elisha Peyton
Elisha is the name of a Biblical prophet after Elijah - a male Hebrew name which I think is probably still used for boys in some Jewish families (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Peyton is really, really trendy, and also unisex, so this combo sounds... gender-ambiguous. What about Alicia Peyton? Same pronunciation, more traditional (and prettier, I think) spelling, and unmistakably female. And no ethnic confusion.

Bailey Rebecca
OK, but Bailey is another trendy name.

Shayla Michelle
Don't hate it. But is this pronounced Shy-la or Shey-la? Also, two "sh" sounds are a bit much.

Kyle Marketa
I know people have said they know women named Kyle, but to me this is a male name. And Marketa? What kind of a name is that? (This is a real question, not a sarcastic comment - I've never seen it before.) The first thing I thought of was farmer's market :/ Not feeling it.


Clayton Orville
It's kind of sweet, but sounds like a grandpa in slippers and an old cardigan :) Or a nerd on an afterschool special :)

Brady Owen
It's OK.

William Sean
It's OK - I like the nn "Will."

Dylan Jeffrey
Pretty good.

Colby Alexander
Colby is a type of cheese. A tasty snack, but to me, not a name.

(Huge long comment = me procrastinating like crazy)

Re: Me no like.

Elisha Peyton actually came from my SO's favorite football players (Eli & Peyton Manning)... silly I know, but I like the names too lol.

Marketa is a Czech name

Orville was actually after my grandfather so perhaps its good that it sounds like a grandfathers name lol

[amandavanessa.livejournal.com]

Kyle Marketa is the strangest girls name I've heard. And Kyle should be for a boy, same with Hayden. Elisha Peyton is the only name there I like, but I hate it spelled with an E.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Chiara isn't made up, it's Italian for Clare or Clara.

However, I totally agree on everything else. ESPECIALLY the cheese part. At least Colby isn't a particularly stinky variety of cheese, though :)

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

I knew a Marketa who spelled her name Marcheta.

I think it's pronounced MAR-keet-uh.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_whiskeytears/]

This one is pronounced "mar-ket-tah"

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

When I have to rely on colors to tell me that the first group was for girls, I have to think something's wrong.

I do like Elisha Peyton (although it reminds me of Peyton Place) and Bailey Rebecca (Bailey kind of freaks me out, as it is my last name, but I can appreciate it).

I like your boys names, although Clayton Orville and Brady Owen make me hope the child will grow up to join the NFL, because otherwise it might be weird. My favorite is Colby Alexander, even if it is a kind of cheese. William Sean is awesome too.

I agree

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I honestly dont like any of them. Too unisex/lastname for my liking.

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

Hayden Chiara- NO (Hayden is a male name, Chiara is trendy and sort of low class, I think)
Elisha Peyton- NO (Elisha sounds snobby, Peyton is a male name)
Bailey Rebecca- NO (Bailey sounds like a name for a dog. I like Rebecca, though.)
Shayla Michelle- NO (Sounds too dated, like an 80s name)
Kyle Marketa- NO (I like Kyle, but not Marketa at ALL)

I would suggest Rebecca Michelle or Kyle Rebecca from the names you have.


Clayton Orville NO (Clayton is fine, Orville reminds me of the popcorn company)
Brady Owen YES
William Sean YES (but I like Sean William better)
Dylan Jeffrey NO (each name is ok on its own, but not together)
Colby Alexander NO (I don't like Colby, I do like Alexander)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_whiskeytears/]

I thought about Sean William but Sean is my SO's name and I'm not really a fan of "juniors", but I would like to keep his name in the child's name somewhere... Plus it's too Sean William Scott-ish

[sherball.livejournal.com]

Hayden Chiara - I think of Hayden as a boys name I like chiara as a middle name very pretty
Elisha Peyton - I like the combo :)
Bailey Rebecca - Bailey sounds like a boys name, love the name rebecca :)
Shayla Michelle - I like this combo too
Kyle Marketa - Hate both names.


Clayton Orville - Clayton is Ok, Orville reminds me of the popcorn dude..not loving it.
Brady Owen - I like this combo!
William Sean - Like this one too!
Dylan Jeffrey - and this one.
Colby Alexander - and this one. :)

Good Luck

The names are a little complicated for me, but I like:

Bailey Rebecca
Elisha Peyton

Brady Owen
William Sean
Colby Alexander

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

I only like the name William and Brady

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

Girls

Shayla Michelle

Boys

Colby Alexander

[a-purple-dream.livejournal.com]

I like the name Michelle.

For boys, I like William, Orville and Alexander

[an1840sgirl.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Shayla Michelle

[pale-september.livejournal.com]

I don't like Chiara or Marketa, and I've never been big on Peyton. I do like Hayden as a girls name though. I think Hayden Michelle would be very cute.

I've always liked Dylan, even though it's very popular. I also love William. I'm not big on Orville though, it reminds me of popcorn. Colby reminds me of the cheese. lol

I like these combinations. Clayton Alexander, William Alexander, Dylan Jeffrey, and Sean William.

[pale-september.livejournal.com]

Hayden means "The rosy meadow" so I find it more a girls name than a boy. Even though I consider it very unisex. I have a girl on my friends list who picked Hayden for her daughters name. :)

[snowpenguin545.livejournal.com]

I've always really liked the name Hayden, Bailey is a cute name and while I've never heard of Kyle being a girl's name, I'm not completely put off by it. Rebecca, Peyton and Michelle are all good middle names. I think Hayden Michelle and Kyle Peyton are both good combinations.

Like others have said, Orville definately reminds me of the popcorn company and I'm not too crazy about the name Clayton. I do however really like the names William and Colby, and I think that William and Alexander go really well together.

[shishenbelle.livejournal.com]

Hayden Chiara - LOVE Hayden, hate chiara
Elisha Peyton- dont like Elisha but LOVE Peyton
Bailey Rebecca- I love the name Bailey! but not rebecca

Clayton Orville- dont like
Brady Owen- i like both names
William Sean- love william, i like sean spelled shawn
Dylan Jeffrey- LOVE dylan, not a huge fan of Jeffrey
Colby Alexander- LOVE LOVE LOVE

:)

[peach-rose-girl.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Kyle for a girl.

I'm not a fan of Bailey, but it's nice paired with Rebecca.

All of your names flow really well. Shayla Michelle sounds great. I like how if there's one name that's sort of gender neutral, it's paired with a feminine name. My favorite names individually are Kyle, Hayden, Peyton, Rebeca, and Kyle. I know someone with the last name Marketa.

Brady Owen and Colby Alexander are my favorites from your boys list.

[peach-rose-girl.livejournal.com]

AND I totally put Kyle twice. Whatever. If you like it, use it. It's your decision!

[daveandmonika.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of your 'girls' names are really boys names. All but Shayla. Especially Elisha, which is not a very masculine boys name, but being biblical, will always be a boys name to me.
