EDIT:
Thank you everyone for your thoughts! I figured i may as well give mine as well :)

girls..
Schuyler - I prefer this spelling to Skylar or Skyler, im not a huge fan of the hard K.

Ella - One of my favorite names, although i think of it more as a nickname. I would probably name my daughter Elizabeth and call her Ella. I spent last summer in Greece and there was a lovely old grandmother who would always say ella, little one, ella. i loved that. i think it meant, come little one, come.

Addison - It has grown on me, but i dont know that i would name a child it just yet.

Grace- my most favorite girl name. I think it is strong and classic.

Lilly - one of my favorites. And the reason for the double L is i LOVE Lilly Pulitzer. ANd i adore how it looks

Cameron - I think it has almost crossed over into the too feminine for a boys name genre. So i could never imagine a boy with this name. I adore it for a girl

Katherine- such a classic girl name. Kate would be her nickname. Im sure i will have a little girl with this name.

Suzanne - haha thats my name. I have never formed a strong oppinion on it, so it was interesting to hear others thoughts.

Campbell- I have wanted to be an NBC News Washington Correspondent for as long as i can remember. Campbell Brown is a strong, confident woman who has done wonders for the world of female anchors. I think its a fun beautiful name

Morgan - i adore this name. Its simple, and classic.

Tierney - Although i may be the only one, i absolutly adore this name

Emily - one of my favorites. Its so simple and beautiful

Sailor - No one likes this, but i think its such a cute name. Wouldnt name a child it. Maybe a dog.

Peyton - has grown on me. I see a little girl named Peyton as either SUPER girly or SUPER athletic tom boyish. Nothing in betweeen


Nell - my favorite cousins name. One of my favorite names. We call her Nellie

Charlotte- another cousin name. love it. plus there is always Charlotte from Sex and the City.

Boys...
Callum - Adore

Tate (mn only) Still havent decided if i would give it to a girl or a boy, but i love it.

Aidan - i hate that this has become trendy. It has been one of my favorite names since before i could remember

Callaghan (prounounced - Call a han) - I love this name, we would call him Cal

Hudson - I live in Manhattan and still dont associate this name with the river. I think its a strong name.

Sawyer - Love Sawyer.

McCabe - obviously i love last names as first names.

Tanner - i think this is such a cool name.

Finn- so irish. would be after my uncle. he loved this name.

PS: i like preppy names. i am preppy. :)

Ella - cute. makes me think of pink! You could call her Ella-bella as a pet name!

Addison - reminds me of Addidas!

Grace - pretty, but i could never call my child grace as i am so clumsy. it's just quite a name to live up to.

Cameron - for a girl? meh, im not keen. Cameron Diaz.

Katherine - just boring. I don't like it at all. Too many Katherine's, spelt many differnt ways.

Suzanne - nice. Though for some reason I have never considered it. When I was little I had a doll named Suzanna. Makes me think of the song, such a beautiful song. Can't remember the name of the write/singer though...

Campbell - isn't it a last name? Makes me think on a camel. Oh! And the soup. It reminds me of the soup, you know, Andy Warhol did huge colourful prints of the Campbell soup tins.

Nell - Nelly the elephant packed her trunk...

Charlotte - dull. but lottie is quite cute

Boys...
Callum - I have a great friend called Callum. I like it.

Callaghan (prounounced - Call a han)- a scottish village?

Hudson - I knew someone whose last name was hudson.

Schuyler - one of my most favorite names ever...I prefer this spelling to Skyler and Skylar, and I've used it for both boy and girl characters. =P

Ella - that Ella Enchanted movie...not one of my favorites.

Suzanne - haha thats my name. I have never formed a strong oppinion on it, so it was interesting to hear others thoughts.

Emily - one of my favorites. Its so simple and beautiful
