Tucker-I like it
Jack-eww never liked this name, and the day will come when some cruel kid will call him JackOff or something

GIRLS:
Emily-love it, very cute, and I like the nicknames that are associated with it too
Elizabeth-nice name, but too plain and common for me
Caroline-never liked it
Margaret-good middle name, but it makes me think of a goody two shoes religious girl

Tierney-dont like it
Charlotte-dont like it
Schuyler-love it, my cat is named Skylar, it is getting to be pretty popular now though
Addison-love love love it, one of my choices :)

Date: 2006-02-19 05:04 pm (UTC)I really like the name Grayson as well, but for some reason Grayer is just a little higher on my list.
I agree with Pat - i hate it as a nickname, but LOVE the name Patrick
As for Finn, i agree that it sounds like a nickname, but i adore it and dont really love Finnegan or Finbar or Finley as names, so i havent figured out what to do about that.
So glad someone else likes Tanner, i think its an awesome name but so many people hate it.
I think Sawyer has potential, but i agree with the Finn comment haha
Girls...
I thought maybe Ella as a nn for Elizabeth.. a little more interesting then Lizzy or Beth
Glad you agree on Addison!
For Callaway, i thought Calla was a pretty nn
I actually knew a woman named Chapel... FOr some reason it just fit her and i never questioned it as a name until i started telling people about it haha - Same with Chapin, i knew a family with 2 kids George and Chapin
Nell is one of my favorite favorite names, its my little cousins name - Nellie :)
I like Lilly with two L's because i adore Lilly Pulitzer
I LOVE that you like Sailor - i think its such a cool name
Morgan is probably my favorite girls name across the board.
THANKS!

Date: 2006-02-19 06:41 pm (UTC)I hate that Aidan has become so popular - It is actually my uncle's middle name, and it runs in our very irish family - its a name that has been used forever in our family, and my 11 year old cousin is also named it. When they named him everyone thought it was such a random, unique name - now he has a few aidans in his class - girls AND boys haha
no subject
Date: 2006-02-19 07:36 pm (UTC)I'm sorry that trendy cutesy 14-17 year olds ruined a name that runs in your family.
no subject
Date: 2006-02-19 08:06 pm (UTC)He was born in NYC, and he had 1 other Aidan (girl) in his class - when they moved up to Westchester he ended up with a few in his class and a few in the school.
Im just hoping that by the time i have kids it will have fallen of the trendy list!

Date: 2006-02-19 09:56 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2006-02-19 05:50 pm (UTC)McCabe-Sounds too much like a last name, so no.
Griffin-I love this, but no guts to use it. Makes me think of Gryffindor.
Graham-No, because I think of the dad on "My So Called Life" and I have never liked how it is spelled. Gra-HAM but it's supposed to be pronounced Gram. Errrrr.
Caleb-Like it a lot, but don't love it. Too common. I'm a sucker for "Cale" though.
George-I cannot see a tiny sweet baby named George.
Miller-Love it! Know a little boy named this!
James-Too common, too boring for me.
Thomas-Meh, it's okay.
Tucker-Makes me think of "Old Man Tucker" and waaaaaaay too many limericks rhyme with this one.
Jack-Love it.
Grayer-I like Grayson better.
Patrick-Like it, but like Thomas, will never use it.
Aidan-No no nonooooo too common.
Finn-Makes me think of Huck. Better as a pet name.
Tanner-I used to like it. What changed it is like "Grayer". No, make it tanner. No, make it grayer. No, make it blacker. It needs to be greener! It's too....colorish.
Sawyer-Good as a middle name. I respect the person who uses this as a first name, but my family is a bunch of rednecks and they'd say "Soyer."
GIRLS:
Emily-Too common too common too common. One day there will be nursing homes filled with Emilys and Caitlins and Emmas and Mackenzies.
Elizabeth-Classic and beautiful.
Caroline-It is beautiful, but not for me.
Margaret-I respect the person who uses this. I like it 'cause it's not so common, but I don'tl ike it because I can't picture a tiny baby named Margaret.
Katherine-Classic, but not for me.
Tierney-No. Reminds me of tyranny.
Charlotte-Beautiful!
Schuyler (sky-ler)-Tooooooo common and I know too many boys named Skylar.
Addison (yes i know it means Son of Adam...i dont like it for a boy)-I like Addie, but not Addison.
Callaway-Sounds like a family name. It's okay as a middle name, but not a first name. A boy, okay.
Chapel-This seems beautiful but I don't know how well it would go over...I can respect someone who uses it.
Peyton-NO no nononoooo because I know a girl Peyton. So it's name association here. I also know more boy Peytons....like Skylar.
Avery-I like it Averie better.
Lilly-I like Lily better, but this name is on my top ten list.
Nell-Makes me think of the movie. Or Nail.
Bryn-Love it!!
Ella-Mmmmm....pretty but not for me. It's a name that ages well.
Molly-That's my kitty! I think it's cute for a little girl and a soccer mom, but not in between.
Kellen-This is interesting. I actually like it.
Chapin-I think people would flub up the pronunciation. Chay-pin or Shay-pin or Sha-pin or Chappin.
Elliot-Not for a girl.
Grace-Gorgeous, but sadly overused.
Sailor-Nope nope nope unless you had a Navy spouse.
Bronwyn-Nice. I respect those who use this.
Sutton-Not for a girl. I think it's a nice boys' name.
Morgan-it's okay. Totally not for me, but it's not overused and it's not weird.
no subject
Date: 2006-02-19 06:39 pm (UTC)I agree with your ideas on Graham - i dont love the idea of having the word Ham in my babies name haha.
I love Cale too! And Miller, im glad someone else likes this - i really like surnames as first names, and i think Miller is such a strong name.
I love Sawyer, love your comment too haha - im from NY, so hopefully it would come out alright here.
If i named a girl Margaret, i would probably call her Maggie, its a nice little girl name.
I knew a woman named Chapel, and i have always found it interesting, it fit her so well- but i dont know i would name a child it.
Averie is so pretty!
I would prounounce Chapin: Chay-pin, (the beginning rhymes with Jay)
Grace is overused, im hoping that by the time i have kids it has left the 'popular' list and my girl can just know lots of older girls with her name
Thanks!1

Griffin-Love it!
Graham-I would't choose it, but I don't mind it.

Elizabeth-I like it, and there are lots of great nicknames!
Caroline-This is my name and I think it's a beautiful name!

Chapel-I don't think it makes a good name.

Bryn-Very cute!
Ella-Also cute!
Molly-Again, cute! I know several very adorable Mollys.
Kellen-I've liked Kellen for a long time!

Date: 2006-02-20 05:20 am (UTC)BOYS:
McCabe - I wouldn't even like it as a last name.
Griffin - So many things come to mind, none of them people. Griffith university, Gryffindor (from harry potter) and a TV character called Griff...
Graham - I haven't heard any young boys with this name. It's alright but I don't like it personally and is a bit ambiguous cos it is also a last name.
Caleb - I associate this strongly with a particular person I know too much to say anything else
George - This name has always made me think of sausages. I have no idea why. It also makes me think of a podgy grumpy old man, George Costanza from seinfeld, and "georgey porgey pudding and pie kissed the girls and made them cry"
Miller - Another last name, with a more obvious meaning than some, and I don't see the point in giving an occupation name to an infant.
James - I really love this name, and it's also my brother's name
Thomas - I like this, although the nickname Tom is annoying... Thomas makes a good middle name sometimes
Tucker - haha yuck. Tucker is slang for food, here. If a boy was named this I would just think of people eating him.
Jack - Alright...becoming too popular.
Grayer - I don't like this.
Patrick - strong Irish connotations, but a decent name
Aidan - I used to think nothing of this except that it was a kind of cute, Irish sort of name, and then everyone on this forum is claiming it to be really popular and overused and now I think of it as this taboo name even though I actually haven't met any little Aidan's yet.
Finn - I don't like it. Thinking of a shark.
Tanner - I suppose it's ok but the meaning is again an occupation
Sawyer - I don't know much about this name, but I don't like the sound of it because it reminds me of the word sewerage
GIRLS:
Emily - It is pretty and classic, but I somehow don't like it much
Elizabeth - Good, although it's rare to meet one who goes by her full name
Caroline - I really like this name (if it's pronounced caro-LINE not caro-LIN)
Margaret - means "pearl" which is nice... it seems a bit outdated though
Katherine - I like this too
Tierney - It looks nice but it's a bit hard to pronounce
Charlotte - I used to like this but don't anymore
Schuyler (sky-ler) - not my style
Addison - I don't have much opinion on this name
Callaway - I don't think it suits a girl
