Addison Spencer- Cute, but incredibly trendy and popular. If you don't mind your daughter sharing her name with 619,075 other people, then go ahead and use it. I'm not fond of Spencer on girls at all, but it works well with Addison.

Clinton James- I like this name. Could be an issue with the political association, but I, for one, don't mind it at all.

I like Addison a lot for a girl, but I think two traditionally male names for a girl is a bit much. I love Spencer for a boy, though. I love James, but not a fan of Clinton. I mean, I like the Clintons and all, but as a name it doesn't do it for me.

Addison Spencer is terrible. Both names are incredibly trendy, and both are unisex. Addison is definitely the Krystal of the 2000s... it's going to look incredibly tacky and dated in 15 - 20 years.

I don't like the name Clinton, but James is nice.

It's an American WE LOVE GREY'S ANATOMY!!! thing. I love Grey's Anatomy, and that character, too, but it's still a horrendous name. And it used to be uncommon here, too, for good reason, until Grey's Anatomy.

But yeah. It's also the name of a disease. There's a reason it's uncommon every place but the US.

I hope it stays that way. I'm sorry, it's just one of the ugliest names I've ever heard. The only reason it's popular is because of a TV show. It's also the name of a disease.

But is this because you don't know a lot of infants?

The oldest Addison I know just recently turned 3. And I know about six of them.

I like James a lot, and Addison is growing on me, but I don't like Clinton. And I love Spencer a lot, but as a girl's name it's terrible.

I like Addison Spencer... for a boy.

Addison is horrendously trendy, and Spencer is a boy's name. It has be one of the worst names I've ever seen.

Clinton is awful, but better than both Addison and Spencer. I like James.

No, it's a boy's name. Just because it's suddenly trendy to use boys names on girls doesn't make it a girl's name. It still sounds tacky on girls.

. . . I wasn't be hostile? Just stating my opinion, which you asked for.

I totally second this one! Both names are definitely boy's names, especially Spencer.

I like the middle names.

Spencer James would be a nice boy's name.

I think Addison Spencer is terrible.

Clinton James is nice. I don't like the nickname Clint though.

I don't mind Clinton, and I love James. Addison Spencer is just awful for a girl. To me, both Addison and Spencer are firmly in the boy camp. I can see the argument for Addison, as it is terribly trendy for girls, but Spencer is a thousand percent boy. If you're going to use a unisex name, definitely make sure the other name is distinctly the correct sex. Addison Spencer is a great name for a boy, Addison Claire or Addison Katherine make fine girl's names.

I'm not a big fan of Addison Spencer; I guess Spencer is not that bad, and I don't mind boys names on girls, but I don't really like Addison at all.

Clinton James-- I really like this. But I may be biased because I actually have a friend named Clinton James. Sometimes I call him CJ... heh, because I think that's a cute nn. But he says he gets a fair amount of people who bring up politics when they meet him, though-- I don't know if that bothers you, but it something to think about.

I agree with everything you said there.
Well, except for the 'I have a friend named CJ' thing ;)
