Gavin-cute but trendy, I will for ever more think of Gavin Rossdale
Cornelius- YAY! I'm not alone in the world!
Daniel- very cute
Jonas or Jonah Elliot- I like Jonah Elliot

Olive SKYE

Dannie Jo? Dani and Billie Jo? XD

I love Jonah Elliot, that's beautiful! =)
Stevie Lenore is awesome as well.
I'm not a fan of Olive Skie though...Olive Skye would be better, but either way it makes me think of a bright olive-green sky and I don't like that.

Love Jonas, Jonah, Milo (but prefer Miles), and Mathias. Gavin is overused, but okay. Cornelius and Daniel are all right, but not really my style. I'd go with Jonas Elliot and Mathias Rhett (I like this combo better).

For girls, most of them, no offense, are kind of...bad. Codi is a boy's name, no matter how it's spelled, and so are Stevie and Dannie. Dani for a girl could work, as a nickname for Danielle or Daniella, but not on it's own. Especially Dannie Jo, since they're both boys' names but spelled differently.

Rosaline, Lenore, and Jo are great names, just as firsts and not as middles. Boys names on girls are just...ugh. Olive is tolerable, but I have such a hard time seeing this on anyone over the age of 5. It's just SO childish. And Skie is even worse.

So, for the record: love the boy names, but definitely not the girls. Rosaline Olive and Danielle Jo (Dani Jo as a nickname) could work, but mostly just...no.

thanks, everyone, for the record, i love boys names on girls, because look where Ashley came from, it was only a boys name. Anyway, Saturnino is a family name, and i found out it derives from Saturninus, And Danny Joe only sounds hillbilly cause its two names, its also a family name, I almost like it better on a girl. With Olive Skie, I am going for the whole green sky thing.

[studeringstanly.livejournal.com]

your right, there are names that sound less hillbilly, and i think i was the one being argumentative... sorry, just a little protective of the name, i mean it means a lot to me. thanks so much.

I love boys names on girls, too, but I swing more toward James and Joshua than Codi and Stevie.

I love Gavin, Jonas, and Mathias!

It's fine to like boys' names on girls, but you have to think about how it's going to make THEM feel when they're older. I'm constantly mistaken for a boy with my short hair (although I don't look at all like a boy...people just don't look), even AFTER people hear my name: Lindsay. Granted, it's unisex, but it's much much much more common on girls. If your daughter has short hair someday, and a name like Dannie Jo, Codi, Stevie, etc. she is CONSTANTLY going to get mistaken for a boy. And trust me, no matter how comfortable you are, or how open minded you are about gender (hell, I'm even a lesbian), it's really really really annoying. Plus, boys names on girls sound really really childish. They do. I have a very difficult time picturing an adult named Codi or Stevie. I could see these working as NICKNAMES, but not as given names. For example, Joey, Charlie, and Harry on girls are all really cute, but only as nicknames for Josephine/Jocelyn/Joanna, Charlotte, and Harriet. Danielle, Stephanie, and...well, I can't think of one for Codi off the top of my head, but give me a minute, could work, but it gives her the option of going by something more feminine -- OR by the nickname -- instead of forcing something on her that (a) she's more likely to hate than just any old girls' name, and (b) she's going to outgrow and look ridiculous with when she's 30 or 40 years old.

I think Codi is a cute name for Cordelia.

Gavin's cute (my son's name) but Hortensio sounds pretentious.
<3 Stevie Lenore

Mathias Isaias
Mathias Keziah
Mathias Nathaniel

Mathias - Really like it
Gavin - LOVE it
Hortensio - WTF?
Cornelius - No
Rhett - Eh, it's not horrible.
Daniel Joseph - Great but Danny Joe sounds so Texan (as a Texan, it sounds normal but others would think it ridiculously redneck)
Jonas or Jonah Elliot - Great combo; I love Jonas but I like Jonah better with Elliot
Milo - I prefer Miles
Saturnino - WTF?
Olive - It's okay
Skie - No; Sky or Skye
Stevie Lenore - if Stevie is short for Stephanie
Codi Rosaline - Really like it
Dannie Jo - No; way too hillbilly now

Hortensio... like from Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew.

Saturnino is my great grandfathers name.


Oh and I hate the letter 'Y' thats why sky is spelled Skie.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

i like jonas elliot, but jonah elliot is nice too.

I love Stevie Lenore!!!!!

[blue-suspenders.livejournal.com]

Mathias is such a cute name.

[catchstars.livejournal.com]

I like the name Milo, but feel like there are too many O sounds in Milo Saturnino. If you have your heart set on Saturnino, it might flow better with a name that ends in a consonant sound instead of a vowel. I like Josef Saturnino or Jonathan/John Saturnino.

[studeringstanly.livejournal.com]

yeah, i see what you mean. thanks

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to say, but they're all kinda bad.

I like Mathias and Elliot, but the other ones are quite whacky, especially the way they're combined (Codi Rosaline, for one).

sorry :/
