None of these are on my lists, nor am I really interested in adding them. I just wondered what people think of them:

BOYS
Joel
Damian
Wesley
Kelly
Randall
Stefan (pr. Stef-in)
Ian
Asa
Leland
Leigh


GIRLS
Anya
Anastasia
Lydia
Regina
Antonia
Colleen
Michaela (pr. Muh-kella)
Elianah
Arielle (pr. R-E-L)
Aimee
Shana (pr. Shaw-na)

ETA: In case you were wondering, I like Joel, Kelly(b), Stefan, Wesley, Asa, Leland, Anya, Lydia, Antonia, Arielle, and Aimee. I like Shana-pronounced-Shay-nah, and Michaela-pronounced-Muh-kella could grow on me. I don't like Regina, Colleen, Leigh (feminine spelling; love Lee, though), or Randall. I'm indifferent about the others, but thought they sounded different/interesting compared to the ones we often hear in this community.

Joel reminds me of N*SYNC... which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I've always loved Damian.
Wesley I didn't like for a while, but I do like it now!
All of the ones after that aren't particularly appealing or unappealing to me, although I knew a guy named Leland who was very boisterous and friendly and it fit him perfectly, so it has good associations for me.

I ADORE Anastasia and Lydia. I prefer Reggie for a girl over Regina (and no, I did not get that from cartoons. I promise). Antonia is kinda cute. Elaine > Elianah, but it's not too bad. I like Shana, but when it's pronounced "shane-a".

How does Joel remind you of NSYNC? Hahahaha. I'd definitely say that was a bad thing, but I don't know how you're getting that. Unless I'm forgetting a member named Joel? The only ones I can remember are Justin and Lance. And then there was JC or something, right? Sigh. I haven't listened to them in YEARS.

I love Lydia, too, and I prefer that pronunciation of Shana. Shaw-nuh is growing on me, though, because it's the name of one of my closest friends (spelled Shana), but I dislike the name Shawna-spelled-this-way, so it's taken me a while to warm up to it.

There was not a Joel in N*SYNC, it's just such a boy-band sounding name!
