Not a fan of Lauren or Lara. I like Lily but not in that combination.

I have always liked Jordan but with it being used for girls also, I would stay away from Riley (also being used for girls). Jordan Micheal (did you mean to spell it that way?) reminds me of Michael Jordan.

lauren and lily are both gorgeous, classic names. lily is a little more popular right now, but not so much that it takes away from it, imo. i dont like lily ann marilyn though, any reason for two middles? do they both have significance? also i would spell makenzie in the more traditional way, with a c (mackenzie).

im not a big fan of jordan, either for a boy or girl. its an okay name, i just dont particularly like it.

Michael is spelled ae, not ea.

I like Jordan for a boy, but Jordan Michael makes me think of Michael Jordan.

I think Marilyn would be nice as a first name. Nobody uses that anymore.

Girls:

They're all nice names - except Makenzie. I cannot begin to describe how much I loathe that name. I just don't see the appeal, and it's was super trendy about 3 years ago. Bleh. The kreatyv spelling makes it look even worse. Besides that, you have some winners. What about Lauren Eve?

Boys:

It's spelled Michael, not Micheal.
Jordan is OK, but Riley (which to me is annoying and trendy) is used so often for girls that I'm not feeling it for a boy. Esp. with Jordan, which is also a unisex name.

I like Lauren Makenzie. I think that Lara Eve and Lily Ann Marilyn sound awkward.

I like both boys names. I think that Jordan Riley flows better.

My name is Rachel and I get people spelling it Racheal ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME. It's so damn obnoxious. Not even Rachael! I could understand that one, it's a legitimate alternate spelling! But Racheal?? wtf? Wouldn't that be pronounced Ray-cheel?

i like lauren. not a fan of jordan though.

Jordan to me is always going to remind me of Crossing Jordan, sorry.

I'm not a fan of Makenzie or Mackenzie or any other spelling variant at all, even as a middle name. Lara Eve's all right, but none of the girls names really flow well together.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I think that "Eve" is a really pretty middle name... I don't like "Laura" or "Lara" though... sorry. Lily is pretty... How about "Lily Eve"?

The name "Jordan" is alright... but I agree with everyone else that it's really unisex, so pairing it another unisex name is just asking for trouble.

Lara Eve is nice.

Jordan is ok... kind of 80s.

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

All your girls names are nice enough. Jordan just makes me think of Michael Jordan, but it's still an alright name. I wouldn't use Jordan Michael for that reason though, and Jordan Riley doesn't really flow.

I kind of like Jordan on a boy, but definetly not on a girl. It's not something i would use though.. it's a bit trendy &..ehh i don't know. Not much substance to it. I like Riley a lot, for a boy.
Jordan Micheal...i just think of Micheal Jordan the basketball player.

Lauren Makenzie- I dont particuarly like Lauren & Makenzie is awful.
Lara Eve- This is pretty.. but i don't think the names flow together. I have always prefered Eva over Eve.
Lily Ann Marilyn- Lily is on everyones list! I love it.. i think Marilyn is a bit exessive, unless it's a family name i wouldnt add it on. Lily Ann is nice enough. (but i prefer Lily Anna)

It's funny that you suggested Lauren Eve - My name is Lauren and Eve are the first three letters of my last name!

Lauren Makenzie: too trendy. If you are going to use a name like Lauren or Mackenzie, both of which are trendy and popular, give her a middle name like Elizabeth or Helena or something traditional so it won't sound dated in 10 years, like Tiffany Jennifer sounds today.

Lara Eve: I like this very much although it sounds a little tiny bit stilted when you say it.

Lily Ann Marilyn: Lily Anne or Lily Marilyn, but all of them together is just too much. It sounds like "Lillian Marilyn"

Boyeez:
Jordan Micheal: spell Michael correctly for God's sake.
Jordan Riley: will sound dated in 10 years.
What do you think of Jordan altogether? I like it, but I like it better as a female name, like in The Great Gatsby.

I prefer Laura to Lauren and Lara... but here in Australia it's pronounced more like "LOR-a" whereas in America it seems to be more like "lara"...
