Like: Rosalie, Addison, Harper, James, Adam, Noah, Chase (boy)

Don't like: Noreen, Edoras (too LOTR), Ilah, Peregrin (again too LOTR), Chase (boys name), Sirius (I love Harry Potter and this character, but no), Griffen, Aidan (too trendy), Fedencio

I like Rosalie and Harper. Chase is a boy's name and awful on either sex, but worse on girls, and Addison is way way way trendy. The rest just range from sounding totally made-up and ridiculous to being really ugly.

Sirius is way too Harry Potter for me, and Griffen, along with being spelled incorrectly (Griffin), is a last name, not a first name. Aidan/Aiden and Chase are way way trendy, but Chase is definitely better on a boy than on a girl. I love James, Adam, and Noah, and while Fedencio isn't my style at all, it's better than a lot of these names.

Our taste in girls names is very different. I am not a fan of any of your choices. However, I do like some of your boys: James(LOVE), Adam, and Noah are very nice. Chase is okay.

Aw. Rosalie.

I met a man called Rohan the other day, and I was very affirmed in my love of it as a name. I agree that Edoras and Peregrin are probably too closely tied to LotR for my tastes, but at least it's not Arwen. Thank G-d.

I like James.

Rosalie - Great
Addison - Not only is it an ugly name, it's the name of a disease, and it's also incredibly trendy. It went from being not even in the top 1000 in 1993, to ranking 11th in 2007.
Noreen - Not my style, but okay
Edoras - I know it's popular right now to name kids after cities, but fictional cities? I mean, is she going to be the home of the horse lords? If not, it doesn't make much sense...
Ilah - Not sure what this is
Peregrin - On a girl? No.
Harper - Bleh
Chase - Bad on a boy, 100 times worse on a girl.

Sirius - Black. Can't escape the association.
James - Nice
Adam - Nice
Griffen - It's 'Griffin'
Aidan (Aiden?) - Aidan is the more traditional way to spell it, but again, this is absolutely the most trendy name you could possibly pick. Combined with all its alternate spellings (Aidan, Aiden, Aaden, Ayden, etc.) plus its rhyming variants (Brayden, Hayden, Jayden, Cayden, Zayden, etc.) it is BY FAR the most popular boy's name out there. He would definitely be in a class with someone who either shared his name, or had a name that rhymed with his, possibly both.
Noah - Not my thing, plus also really trendy
Chase - Again, hate it
Fedencio - Fine

girls:
i like rosalie a lot, it's been one of my favorites for as long as i can remember. i don't like addison, it's too trendy and i don't like the sound. i don't like noreen because it reminds me of old people. edoras and peregrin sound like boys names, chase IS a boys name, i like harper a lot as a middle name only, and i like ilah spelled isla.

boys:
sirius is way too harry potter, i love james and adam, i like griffen spelled griffin but still not at all, i prefer aiden to aidan and oddly enough, the fact that its trendy doesn't make me dislike it, i love noah, chase is ok but nothing i'd use, and i think fedencio is too ethnic sounding. like if you're not of italian or spanish descent and neither is your kid, it'd be weird to use.

[queenb833.livejournal.com]

dont use chase for a girl. it is REALLY not feminine at all

[rubixcube-killr.livejournal.com]

Ok... there different ways to spell a name and I happen to know a guy named Griffen spelled like that so chill.

[rubixcube-killr.livejournal.com]

Even though I do like Fedencio I agree with you on the use, that's more of a circumstantial pick for me because it would be kinda goofy on someone not italian or spanish.

[rubixcube-killr.livejournal.com]

Ilah would be pronounced eye-lah like Isla Fischer but I don't like that spelling because it looks like eez-lah to me. And spelled like that means 'island' in spanish.

[rubixcube-killr.livejournal.com]

Ha, i thought about Rohan too. I was thinking of Dora as a nickname to Edoras and I like original names because my name is Emily Marie and I know two other people with the same name and a thousand people with Marie as a middle name.

[rubixcube-killr.livejournal.com]

Fedencio would definitely be a middle name, and really only if I marry someone italian or else it would be out of place. Griffin can be spelled that way, i've seen it like that before. I have never heard of a boy named Addison though...

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

. . .

Uhhh, you asked for opinions and I think I pointed out the misspelling of Griffin quite calmly, so I don't appreciate being told to chill. Nor do I feel that I need to. Thanks.

[so-there.livejournal.com]

peregrine is definitely a boys name

[rubixcube-killr.livejournal.com]

OK, fair enough.

"The rest just range from sounding totally made-up and ridiculous to being really ugly."

That was rather rude though, and I think that's what rubbed me the wrong way. You can express opinions without throwing out a 'really ugly' card. If that is just going to start a lame argument disregard it then, I'm not that interested in dragging this out.

Addison is one of my favorite girls names, no matter how trendy, always has been.
I also really like Harper.
