I love Josh and Alexandria.

I really hate Easton, Jerry, Jordyn, Rick, Jo Ellen, & Samantha.

Jaymes is ridiculous! What on earth posessed them to come up with that spelling.

[lifehitmeoneday.livejournal.com]

Jaymes was supposed to be James, after his great grandfather. However, they wanted to nn him Jay, so they decided to spell it that way.

I personally hate when people throw unnecessary letters into spellings of names, especially traditional ones.

I dislike Jordyn's spelling as well. She is an uber girl and wants stuff with her name on it. But because her mother just had to have it Jordyn instead of Jordan, I cant find anything. Its dumb.

I like: Alexandria, Joseph, Jessica, Jaymes (minus the y), Samantha
Neutral on: Joshua, Zoey, Lynn, Bethany, Rick, Jerry, Devon
I dislike: Whitney (never met a nice Whitney), Easton (it's a baseball bat brand), Colson, Jordyn (I know a female Jordan, she's not nice... the y makes it worse), Jo Ellen (I don't like any Jo names for girls... JoAnn, Josephine, etc. are ewwwww... Joe is a boy name)

Wow. I think the only ones I passionately dislike are Easton, Colson, Jordyn, and Jaymes. Everything else I either like enough or like a whole lot.

I hate Easton, Colson, and Jordyn, and Jaymes is bad too. The rest are all right.

I like Zoey, Samantha and Alexandria.
I don't like Whitney, Easton, Colson or Jo Ellen.
Jordyn and Jaymes would be nice without with y's.

I like Easton and Zoey, though I prefer it Zoë. Jo Ellen just kind of makes me laugh 'cause of Supernatural. The other ones I'm just not a fan of, they're all alright.
