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. :)

Mackenzie, m'dear.

although, i know it spelled with a Mc, and Mec (like my mn), too.

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

nope, even that was a surname. I'd assume it was a scottish or irish clan name, but don't feel like googling. but I did try a little :

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

well, yes, was. but you asked if there are any now that aren't, not that are they any that never were.

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

ah, whoops! I meant if there were any that didn't originate as last names. I even have a niece mackenzie, so I know its a common first name! my brain is still on vacation
