Like so many others, I am not pregnant or planning on have kids for awhile, but I'm obsessed with names, and have been since as long as I can remember. Here is a list of the names I like (most favorite on top)- just wondering what you think. Also, if your mother had named your sisters "Noelle" and "Juliet" and then named you "Matilda" or "Agnes" would you feel... I dunno, cheated, like your name was too simple or dumpy sounding? :o) Also, these are for both first and/or middle names.


Phineas
Hero
Risto
Xavier
Noah
Kael
Hayden
Doran
Maddock/Maddox
Peter
Arlo
Koi/Koy
Alton
Owen
Milo/Miles
Linus

Noelle-
Juliet
Agnes/Agatha
Viene
Matilda
Ophelia
Helena
Evangelina
Naiya
Valentine
Violet
Linne
Alida
Isolde
Orenda
Nell

Phineas -- Too much for me, for a boys name. Finn could work, but this is too weird.
Hero -- If you're having a comic book character for a son, I guess.
Risto -- Doesn't appeal to me, but I don't have anything solid against it.
Xavier -- Love, except that people who insist on saying ex-zay-vee-er would make me insane.
Noah -- Too old-man-and-an-ark for me. I do love the girl's name Noa though.
Kael -- Contrived looking.
Hayden -- Too Aidan/Jayden/Caden
Doran -- Dorky Doran
Maddock/Maddox -- Hate this name. Sounds like a very poorly behaved child to me, Mad Ox.
Peter -- Penis associations aside, it's ok.
Arlo -- Nice.
Koi/Koy -- It's a nice sound, too bad one can't think of anything but giant, slimy goldfish.
Alton -- Ok
Owen -- Fine
Milo/Miles -- Nice
Linus -- Love

Noelle -- Eh. I think this name was ruined on an association for me. A very acne-ridden mean bully in my junior high.
Juliet -- Pretty, but the Romeo stuff would be so annoying as to not be worth it imo. I'd stick with Julia.
Agnes/Agatha -- Ummm... no. I'm not ready for this yet.
Viene -- Would this mean "come" or "coming" in French.... maybe not spelled right.
Matilda -- Ok.
Ophelia -- A bit dramatic, but ok.
Helena -- Nice
Evangelina -- Makes me think of evangelical Christians. One of my least liked names.
Naiya -- Ok
Valentine -- Sappy
Violet -- Gorgeous
Linne -- Nice
Alida -- Ok
Isolde -- Too dramatic
Orenda -- Ok
Nell -- Jodie Foster
