I like Calvin nn Cal

Not really a fan of spelling things 'wrong' like Emmaly, which I assume is a variation of Emily.

For boys I like tradition names like James and William. If my daughter had been a boy I would have called him Aaron James.

I like Adrian, William, Thomas, James, and Calvin. The rest are awful.

Emmaly: No. Emily, yes. I just don't like "creative" spellings.

Kyson: Good CHRIST, no.

Jayden: My cousin has a two-year-son named Jayden Jeffrey. I cannot, to this day, bring myself to call him "Jayden", so I gave him the nickname "JJ." Normally I *hate* nicknames...but holy hell, I don't dislike them as much as I dislike the name "Jayden."

Adrian: Not for a boy. I like "Adrienne" for a girl, though!

Alexis: .....Ehhhh. This reminds me of that painted-up old chick from Dynasty, but then again, I'm a bit strange.

Selietha: No. Just...no.

William: I love this name. Just love it. Period.

Thomas: Another one that I love, but unfortunately I know of no one who actually uses the full form of the name. They're all Toms, or Tommys.

James: Ditto. I love this name, but there's too much of a habit of using nicknames. I'm sorry, but to me there is nothing worse than a grown man named James who calls himself "Jamie."

Kane: You know, I used to hate this name, but honest to God, it's growing on me.

Alger: Good god, no.

Calvin: For a middle name, maybe.

Blake: Eh. Too trendy.

Christi: Add an "e" on the end of that, and I'm all for it. ;)

Kim: I prefer Kimberley.
