Lets get some critiques going! (A game)

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Okay here are the rules. Post your favorites in the comments, however many names or comboes that you want. However, if you post, you must respond to at least THREE other peoples' names by replying to their comment (at least three, but you can do as many as you want). If you're one of the first three to post, come back later when more people have posted in order to reply. Try to keep it so that each of the comments have an equal amount of replies, so some people don't get all of the critiques.

If you don't like getting your name choices critiqued, don't post your names :). You can still respond to other peoples' names if you want. Obviously naming is a personal taste thing; still, I like hearing what other people think of my choices and I'm sure other people do too. After all, its what this community is for! Just try not to be offensive or get offended too easily.

I hope this isn't too complicated, I don't think I worded myself very well...

EDIT TO ADD: You don't need to respond to each of the names if you don't want to. You can do a general comment if you'd prefer. Its up to you!

These are awesome. I don't think I have seen a set of names where I've liked every single name. The only ones I wouldn't use myself are Juliet, Beatrice, and Robert.

Very classic! I like them, mostly. Juliet is one of my faves. Good list.

Yeah, this has got to be one of the best lists of names I've ever seen. They're all great. May Elizabeth is on my list too. I especially love Colin Jeremiah and Charlotte Susannah. :D

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

I really like these! Lilac is very unique and I love Harper and Jane. Tessa's cute and Eliza's one of my favorites. Love Blake. Eliot's okay but I really like William Julian as the mn's.

Arabella June is adorable! And I really like Marilyn Ava. For boys I like Zane and Jensen.

All of the middle names I've chosen are family names so that might be why they don't flow very well or aren't that great.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I like Lachlan, Nicholai (and Nico), James Callum, Asher, Beckett, and Thomas for boys and Harper Jane and Helena for girls. I'm not really a fan of the rest, especially Sinjin, Kisten, Rowen, and Ianthe, plus the last three (although I like Willow and Ophelia. Just now the full name of Willoughby or the rest of the names).

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Middle names are family names/friends' names/names of other meaning to me, so I don't care so much about flow as much as I do about associations with them. Here are my top 5 for each gender.

Margaret Adrienne (Meg)
Eleanor Barbara (Ellie)
Catherine Dena (Cate)
Juliet Lily
Louisa Anne (Lia)

Charles Michael (Charlie)
William Carver (Will)
Henry Peter
Miles Adrian
Elliot Brian

[botica.livejournal.com]

I don't care for old fashioned names, but Margaret, Eleanor, and William are classy.

Barbara and Dena are really unappealing; Charles and Michael are too Top 10. Not trendy, but popular in the same way Elizabeth and Marie/Maria are.

Catherine is a great, strong name. Juliet Lily is very pretty, and Miles Adrian is also nice. I like Elliot, but not paired with Brian which sounds outdated to me for some reason. Carver is also very nice; never heard it as a MN.

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

I never really liked the name Lourdes, but I think it's because I'm unsure of how it's pronounced.

[dancing-crazy.livejournal.com]

Charles Janusz (Janusz is pronounced yah-nush; it's Polish, and after Janusz Korczak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janusz_Korczak).)

-Eleanor Kate
-Lydia Grace
-Charlotte Isabel (or Isabel Charlotte)

Andrea Michelle
Angelica Elizabeth
Emily Isabelle

I would definitely go with Madeline.

I love most of your names. But Emily Isabelle is a sentence! Emily is a belle. Sort of cute anyway, though.

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

Girls:

Anne Louisa (Hannah?)
Hope Beatrice
Elisabeth Barbara (Betsy, Bess)
Maria Catherine (prounounced Ma-RYE-ah)

John Daniel (Jed)
James Kenneth (Jake)
Robert Cory (Rory)
William Thomas or William Theodore (Whit)

[missbailey.livejournal.com]

Hannah over Anna. Funny because my mns are Hannah Louise
Not so keen on Beatrice. Hope is nice.
Nope, Barbara is an ugly name.
Spell it Mariah if its supposed to be ma - rye- ah.
