Favorites

These names are some favorites of mine. I'm not pregnant, nor am I planning on getting pregnant soon, but I like to plan ahead.

What kinds of people do you think of when you hear these names? What do you think of the names themselves? Which of the names go best with the other names for First/Middle combinations?


There is a star next to the names that are favorites.

Added after: Wow, didn't know how many I had! Lol.

Girls:
Cambree - This sounds more like a place than a name to me, I don't really like it.
Sadie - it's ok
Sophie - Classic and beautiful, but I knew a lot of Sophie's growing up
Grace* - It's beautiful, but I would worry that if I used this name I would be tempting fate and she would end up really un-graceful, but that's just me!
Emma* - I've never really liked it, but I LOVE Emily (apart from the fact it's incredibly popular)
Maylea - I've never heard it before, it's really pretty. Is is just pronounced May-lee?
Amaya* - I've not heard this one before either, it's pretty
Bailey - I really don't like this name, it's so incredibly typically american, sorry
Charlie* - I think this is really cute
Charlotte - but I hate this name, it's so bland
Alexis* - it's ok. I know a Lexie and I prefer that.
Madison* - cute, but overused
Ireland/Irelyn - cute, but as I live in the UK I could never use it!
Sage* - I like it, but don't think I'd ever use it.
Ruth - I love this name, it would be a fantastic middle name. And I love that you'd be honoring your great grandmother.
Aspen - Meh
Lily - I love, but it's so overused. I plan on using it as a middle name.
Peyton - I really do not like. (same as with Bailey)
Tegan - Don't like
