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.

Kyle is a boys name.

[mamru25.livejournal.com]

I know a woman named Kyle. She is 25.

Actually it's classified as either on babynames.com

[allykitty5.livejournal.com]

I know a woman named Kyle too, actually she is the speech mentor at our school. I love it for her!

[allykitty5.livejournal.com]

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

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

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.

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)

[amandavanessa.livejournal.com]

I don't care what the others say - Kyle has and always will be a boys name in my book.

[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.

[candicejade.livejournal.com]

I totally agree. I can't even picture a little girl named Kyle.

[krazyhippie.livejournal.com]

I know a girl named Colby too, she's about 15. I'd never heard it before but I warmed up to it really quickly. It was cute.

Re: Me no like.

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

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

[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 :)

This is Colby - it is a kind of cheese :/

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Re: This is Colby - it is a kind of cheese :/

[allykitty5.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know it is a kind of cheese.

Re: This is Colby - it is a kind of cheese :/

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

I especially like Colby Jack. :)

Mmmmm.....cheese.

Re: Me no like.

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

I could not agree more with this rundown...


Yeah, what she said!

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

I knew a Marketa who spelled her name Marcheta.

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

Re: Me no like.

*basks in the pleasant glow of validation*

;)

Re: This is Colby - it is a kind of cheese :/

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Yes, it certainly is a delicious cheese! Mild and creamy... yum...

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.
