Hate 'em all.

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

Seconded.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Bristyn - I don't get this name. Is it a combination of two different names (Brian and Kristin?) with a random y thrown in? It also starts with the word "bris," which is a circumcision ceremony for a Jewish boy.

Kimber - Did someone forget the "ly"?

Dane (boy) - like Great Dane? or a person from Denmark? (I do know someone with this name, and it's not utterly horrible on him, but I'd never use it.)

Fox (boy) - what about Raccoon or Badger?

Liberty - definitely not my style, but probably the best of the bunch.

Neysa - Looks like a name from another language. Nice, if you have the ethnic background to use it.

Knox (boy) - like the fort?

Locke (boy) - the last name of a very boring English philosopher. I don't understand the appeal.

Tallon (boy) - a bird's claw, but spelled wrong.

[lipsandhips.livejournal.com]

knox has been a favorite of mine for a while, but its hard to find names to go with it.

the rest sort of suck.

i like tallon for a girl.

liberty makes me want to die (its the name of this goody-goody character on degrassi tng)

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

Liberty is on Degrassi? Well damn. That explains the resurgence of it on baby naming boards. It's one of my guilty pleasures, but not anymore...

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

No to all. Blech.

[lolacat.livejournal.com]

Bristyn - like Kristyn with a B? Not a fan.
Kimber - Eh. Kind of cool, but I like Amber better.
Dane (boy) - ok
Fox (boy) - ok -- like Mulder on X Files
Liberty - I think this is really corny
Neysa - ok
Knox (boy) - hate it - like the gelatin?? no.
Locke (boy) - eh, all right I guess
Tallon (boy) - I wouldn't name my kid CLAW or PAW, so I won't name my kid TALON

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

like I said I have just heard these names...
I never watched x files and i dont understand the gelatin reference

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

Knox is a brand of gelatin. When I was younger, I did synchronized swimming, and we would buy the clear Knox to put in our hair, because hairspray won't keep it up underwater.

I'm told people also, on occasion, eat it.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't name my kid CLAW or PAW, so I won't name my kid TALON

but you like Fox, so does that mean you would like DOG or CAT or TIGER?

[lolacat.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... point taken!

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

Bristyn-this has GOT to be made up
Kimber-barf
Dane (boy)-i like this one
Fox (boy)-barf
Liberty-doubel barf
Neysa-blegh
Knox (boy)-the Fort?
Locke (boy)-the door
Tallon (boy)-Laguna Beach much?

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

Hehe
given your icon I understand the Dane reference :) I love him too
but i have never heard of Laguna Beach, what is it?

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

its some crappy drama reality show on MTV
I lurve dane hes a silly bitch ;)

[lolzabeth.livejournal.com]

Bristyn - 0_o Makes me think of bisto for some reason.
Kimber - Looks like they've missed the "ly"
Dane (boy) - Ok but I prefer Bane.
Fox (boy) - A girl I know named her son Ryan Fox ____. Very X-files. Not my thing but not completely bad.
Liberty - No. Bad.
Neysa - Sounds African... not my thing.
Knox (boy) - As partyofthree said...the fort?
Locke (boy) - Someone's been watching Lost... Not overly bad but I prefer Sawyer :P
Tallon (boy) - Better than some but still don't like it.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

Haha I agree on the Locke comment. He's great on Lost, but Sawyer's the way to go!

[lolzabeth.livejournal.com]

He's easily the best character!
Loving the icon XD

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

I never watch Lost so i didntknow about Locke...
my brother said the name a few months ago and said he liked it.
but why would you like Bane? its like "the bane of my existance"

[lolzabeth.livejournal.com]

I just like the sound of it. It means long-awaited child in Hawaiian.
I always think "the bane of my existance" aswell though, which kind of spoils it. Shame because if I didn't think that I would probably use it for a son.

[ladiebug2u.livejournal.com]

My friend's Dad's name is Fox and even he doesn't go by it. He uses his middle name for all paperwork and stuff. People call him Fox but I'm not sure many people know it's his real name.

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

I used to like the name Dane, but then I met someone with that name and they ruined it for me. I don't really like any of those names.

[pearshateraqui.livejournal.com]

Dane isn't that unusual a name I don't think. Tallon is though. Makes me think of bird claws.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

I only like Dane. Dane Cook is freaking amazing.

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

I don't mind Dane and Tallon. Tallon is one of those names where you first think 'bird claw' but once you know someone called Tallon it's actually an alright name.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

There was a Kimber born in my church where I grew up... middle name Lee.

They probably thought they were totally clever and way ahead of us.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

Oh and:
Do the chickens have large talons?
;]

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

what is the joke?

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

Napoleon Dynamite quote.

[littlehounddog.livejournal.com]

I wonder if the name Dane is growing in popularity because of the comedian, Dane Cook.

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

Bristyn - ew. it's like you just took a bunch of names and mashed them together
Kimber-makes me think of the psycho/slut on the show Nip/Tuck
Dane (boy) - meh, i like dane cook but i ono if i like the name
Fox (boy) - x-files.. but no
Liberty - it's ok
Neysa -not my taste
Knox (boy) - no way! he'd be geting "Like fort knox!" all the time
Locke (boy) - noo
Tallon (boy) - claw!

[bellisima87.livejournal.com]

the names are a bit strange but i like neysha.. not for a blonde girl with blue eyes but when you have some exotic background then it would be really cool.

[mommytoella.livejournal.com]

my friends son is Talan... (he's 3 though) she's so mad about Laguna Beach LOL b/c he wasnt named after the charactor on it LMAO.

Liberty reminds me of a Noggin TV show

Locke reminds me of the guys last name from LOST

and the rest are just horrible

[last-summer.livejournal.com]

Kimber sounds incomplete to me, but I knew a girl with that name. I kind of like Dane, but only as a middle name. And Tallon isn't that bad, but it makes me think of Talan from Laguna Beach.

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

I like Kimber. She was on Jem and the Holograms back in the 80's!

Dane is alright, too. The other ones, eh.

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

I would just like say again that I have heard these names not necessarily on my list...

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Bristyn - Wow that is HORRID. Sounds like Kristen (my name) but soooooo much worse. That is terribleterribleterrible.
Kimber - OMG I detest this name. So lame.
Dane (boy) - yuck
Fox (boy) - oh hell no
Liberty - ugh
Neysa - don't even know how to pronounce that
Knox (boy) - stupid. Fort Knox.
Locke (boy) - horrid
Tallon (boy) - horrid.

[pale-september.livejournal.com]

Bristyn - I really don't like this name for some reason.
Kimber - I don't like it.
Dane (boy) - It sounds a lot like Dave but it's nice.
Fox (boy) - Todd would be a good alternative.
Liberty - Reminds me of crazy rednecks.
Neysa - Not very fond of it.
Knox (boy)- Too redneck for me.
Locke (boy) - This doesn't sound like a name IMO.
Tallon (boy) - When I was pregnant, I really wanted to name my son this. Then I realized how there is no meaning behind it besides it sounds cool. So I changed my mind luckily.

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

I don't like any of them. Especially not Bristyn.

[cathblue7.livejournal.com]

Love Dane! :)

[ladyofmoonlight.livejournal.com]

I've heard Kimber, Dane, Liberty and Tallon before, a couple times for the last two. I actually like Bristyn, though I'm not too big on the others.

[jessiac.livejournal.com]

Think they're all pretty dire, apart from Liberty, which I think is quite a sweet girl's name.

[home-to-me.livejournal.com]

Not big on any of them, but I think Dane and Knox are semi-okay.

[2rulyoutrageous.livejournal.com]

Kimber ... like the red head on Jem and the Holograms!!! I like it. hehehe although I wouldn't name my kid that.

the rest eh, not so much. :::shrugs:::

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

Bristyn: NO
Kimber: NO
Dane (boy): This one is fine, actually a legitimate name.
Fox (boy): like Fox Mulder?
Liberty: eh
Neysa: This looks like you just hit a bunch of random keys "Sermsa"
Knox (boy): If its your last name, go for it.
Locke (boy): See above.
Tallon (boy): "My mother named me Beatrice for the character in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. What about you, Tallon?" "I share a name with the tool from Laguna Beach who was briefly engaged to Kimberly Stewart." "Ah."
