Watching Gossip Girl lately lol?

Haha well yes I have but I swear Nathan, Serena and Vanessa were on my list before the show.

What can I say..that show has some pretty good names lol

(deleted comment)

very true. I'm actually reading the books now. Never knew the existed before the show.

Aw, Stella and Blair are on my lists. They're very pretty names :] I also like Scarlett and Vanessa as well.

I love Gavin and Seth, and I like Nathan and Shane.

Girls:
Stella: I love the meaning, but I'm not a fan of the name itself.
Blair: Alright.
Serena: Not really.
Cassia: Love it, when it's pronounced Cass-e-uh =)
Vanessa: Hate this name
Scarlett: Really like this one

Boys:
Eamon: I always forget how to pronounce this!
Finn: Love
Gavin: Alright
Justin: Dislike
Nathan nn Nate: Like! Especially Nathan =)
Peter: Too old-fashioned for my taste
Seth: Alright
Shane: Not my style

Eamon = Aye-min

at least thats how i say it lol

thats how i say it too =) It's my dads name.

since i live on an offshoot of a street called "cassia" (pronounced cass-ee-uh), i have to go with that pronunciation.

i like them all except justin.

love Stella, Serena, Scarlett, Finn, Gavin, and Nathan

Girls:
Stella - It could grow on me, but I don't really like it.
Blair - I like it.
Serena - I like it, but I wouldn't use it.
Cassia - I would pronounce it Cass-e-uh, and I don't like it. I like Castelia and Cassie, though.
Vanessa - Love it.
Scarlett - Not really my style, but it's growing on me.

Boys:
Eamon - Don't like it.
Finn - It's okay.
Gavin - Love it.
Justin - Kind of boring.
Nathan nn Nate - I love this one! My cousin just had a baby and gave him this name, so I can't use it :(
Peter - It's okay.
Seth - Pretty good.
Shane - Nice.

I love Stella. Cassia, Scarlett, and Vanessa are okay, but not ones I'd use. I don't like Blair or Serena at all.

Finn, Nathan, Seth, Peter, and Shane are all great. Gavin is way overused, Justin sounds dated, and I don't like Eamon at all.

I'd definitely consider using Stella, Finn, and Peter myself.

I really like Eamon, Finn, Gavin, Nathan, Peter and Seth.

I prefer Cass-e-uh over Cash-uh.

I like:

Serena
Cassia (CASS-ee-ah)
Vanessa
Scarlett

Finn
Justin
Nathan (not Nate)
Peter

I really like Peter. Like a lot. Stella is also pretty cute.
FYI, Cassia is a tree common on the west coast and in the rocky mountains, and it is *always always always* pron. "Cash-uh." I think Cass-e-ah is prettier, but she would always have to correct people on the pronunciation. :)

hm thats interesting, I never heard of those trees (I live in NY)

thanks for the info

Girls:
Stella - Don't like
Blair - Dislike a lot. Feels far too masculine
Serena - Not really a fan
Cassia - Cass-e-uh - Can't decide if I like it. I think I do
Vanessa - Don't really like
Scarlett - Like

Boys:
Eamon - DOn't really like
Finn - Like a lot
Gavin - Don't like
Justin - Kind of like, although I associate with Justin Timberlake, who I really dislike...
Nathan nn Nate - LOOOOVE, and love Nate too.
Peter - Like, although my first thought is of Peter Pan. Probably cause I'm a big kid at heart, haha.
Seth - Kind of like, but I'm not big on very biblical names though!
Shane - On my favouites, like it a lot!

Stella - YES. I would use this name in a second if my boyfriend's last name wasn't "McCarthy". Stella McCarthy? Sounds too close to Stella McCartney. :(
Blair - Looooove!
Serena - I don't like this one so much. It reminds me of Serena Williams, who kind of scares me.
Cassia - Definitely the "cass-e-uh" pronunciation. I don't like the "cash" in "cash-uh". Sounds like money.
Vanessa - Not my favorite.
Scarlett - I like it!

Boys:
Eamon - Depends how it's pronounced. I've never met anyone with this name and I've never heard it spoken, so I don't have a reference :(
Finn - This name sounds so sophisticated. I love it!
Gavin - I like it.
Justin - I don't really like it.
Nathan nn Nate - Not my favorite.
Peter - I like this one, but my mom told me that I could never name my son this because of the slang connotation. :( She ruined it for me.
Seth - It's okay.
Shane - I like this one better as a girl's name.

My favorites: Stella, Blair, and Finn.

I pronounced Eamon as Aye-min

BLAIR BLAIR BLAIR BLAIR is my favorite name!!!!! =)
I also like Scarlett, Finn, Peter, and Seth.

Stella: Like it.
Blair: No.
Serena: Ok. Prefer Selena.
Cassia: Prefer Cassie but it's ok.
Vanessa: Like it.
Scarlett: Very pretty!

Eamon: Don't like.
Finn: Ok.
Gavin: Haaaaate it.
Jusitn: Also hate it.
Nathan: No.
Peter: Like Peter.
Seth: No.
Shane: Ok.

The only one I really like it Scarlett :)

I like the sound of the name Cassia, but are there any other alternative spellings, only because I think a lot of people would end up saying Cassie.

I also like Blair on either a girl or a boy.

I like Scarlett and Finn.

Like:
Vanessa
Nathan nn Nate
Peter
Seth
