Comments

anika/annika - love this a lot.
aster (f) - makes me think of 'ass.' what about esther?
auden (either) - looks like a typo of aiden.
august - like it a lot.

brighton (f) - not a fan, at all.

dagney (f) - not a fan, at all.
darby (m) - eh, it's okay, but i wouldn't use it.
dexter - like it a lot.

elin (prn like ellen) - not a fan of the spelling. i'd spell it ellen to avoid the confusion.
elinor - eleanor looks so much nicer. elinor, again, would just be confusing.

faye - okay as a middle name, but not a fan as a first name.

galen (m) - like it a lot.
greer (f) - too last name-y to me.
gwen - eh, it's okay.

iris - okay.
isla (EYE-luh) - looks like a typo of island. not a fan.

kathleen - eh, it's okay. like katherine better.
kit (f) - like it as a nickname for katherine, but not on it's own.

mika (MEE-kuh) - mieke?

nico (either) - like it for a boy, but too masculine for a girl.

penelope (nn would be penny) - it's okay, but i'm not a huge fan.

quinlin (m) - quinten would be better. the -lin sounds feminine.

sasha (f) - love.
shepherd - too last namey. and too grey's anatomy-ish.

tabitha - okay.
tess - love it.
tierney (TEER-nee) - last name.
