Adam is my number one too :)
I'm not fond of Spencer or Atticus (both sound kind of pretentious). And Ryder is a last name, and easy to make fun of :/

I like most of your girls' names a lot - except Ada (just not very pretty, imo), Callie (too cutesy) and Briar (it's a thorn...)

Adam is way too overused for my taste. I like the name itself, but maybe it's just that I know one too many Adams. =\

My favorites from your lists are Joseph, Luke, Spencer, and Oliver (for the boys) and Ada, Aurelia (so beautiful, and reminds me of Love Actually), Anna, and Elisabeth.

Very nice lists =D

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Boys:
1. Adam- common, but I like it.
2. Spencer- I'd never use it, but it's alright
3. Atticus- Too strange for me
4. Joseph- Way too plain for me
5. Ryder- I adore it, but I also love trendy names
6. Matthew- Please don't bring another Matthew into this world! I know over 20 of them, and these are people I'm close with... it's ridiculous!
7. Caleb- Not my tastes
8. Luke- I like "Lucas" better
9. Oliver- It seems like a good idea, but I don't know if it'd really suit someone
10. Malachi- I think children of the corn too... why not just "Kai"?

Girls:
1. Ada- short and sweet... I also like "Ava" better though.
2. Aurelia- too much.
3. Zoe- it's a fun name, I like it.
4. Maria- a good middle name for family-names sake
5. Louisa- I know one, she's an annoying slut (sorry)... I hate the name
6. Anna- Old lady.
7. Callie- Spell it "Cali" or "Kali" and ok.
8. Elisabeth- boring... every Eliz/sabeth I've met has gone by her middle name
9. Briar- I like Briar, it's pretty.
10. Julia- Meh... boring.

Malachi is my all time favourite boy's name. I love Adam too, but it's too common for me to ever use.

Ada is cute, although I'm not a fan of girls' names ending with 'a'.
