Joan, Jack and Raymond are all family names. Kaitlyn is for my little sister Kathryn--named in her honor, but not directly after her, if that makes sense. I know Aidan is a much-disputed name, but i'm not TTC anytime soon--just like thinking about names/having names ready.

Aidan, Isabella, and Kaitlyn are way too trendy for my tastes, but they could be worse. At least they're all legit names.

I like Eleanor, Cecilia, Josephine, Lillian, Elijah, Lucas, and Benjamin -- all classic names that have nice nickname options (Ellie/Ella, Cissy/Lia, Joey/Josie, Lily, Eli, Luke, Ben) for a child or for an adult, and none are *too* popular, although only Cecilia and Josephine are really "different" from the names that pop up frequently -- but not in a bad way, you know?

Anyway, overall you have nice taste and I really like some of them, but others are way too trendy. None would be awful on a child, though, with the exception of Aidan, which is way way way way way too popular these days. If you aren't having kids for a while . . . well, it might be okay in a few years.

Benjamin is a beautiful name, that's one of my favorites.

Cecelia is my middle name, so I'm a little biased towards it. You spell it differently than I do but it's still the same name and it's a good one.

I really like your taste in names. The only ones I don't really care for are Aidan and Raymond.

::thinks of Billy Ray Cyrus:: XD

I don't like Raymond, either; for some reason it doesn't have good associations for me.

I think Ava as better as a first name than a middle. It just sounds odd to me.

Also, just a personal thing, but names that end in E's often get run together with the middle name if it starts with a vowel. Like, Josephine Adela becomes Josephina-dela, you know what I mean? It's the same kind of thing with my name, until I was about 4, I said Melissa Elena as "Missalena".

I really like most of your names, though. The only ones I wouldn't use are Xavier and Raymond. But they are not even bad names, just NMS.
