Country is the word that first came to mind (Colleen, Cosette, Seamus, etc), although you have a couple of Trendy sparks in there (Courtlin, Jordyn, Daylan). Also, you're female names tend to be a bit masculine.

[ex-londonso.livejournal.com]

Very European and English style? E.g. Neil which is very English, and Gabriel. I think Josephine is a beautiful name by the way.

[ex-londonso.livejournal.com]

Mine might be difficult because I'm Muslim and many of these are Muslim names (the ones with an m next to them).. while I'm really not religious, and I doubt my future partner would be Muslim, I'd like to give them a Muslim name as it will probably be the last connection they have to that heritage, which has been a decisive factor in my family's fate and a deeply important cultural element for centuries now.

Hamzeh (m) - means 'lion'
Isa (m) - Muslim name for Jesus
Ali (m) - means 'sublime'
Mikail (m) - Mika for short, Muslim name for Michael
Hunter - after Hunter S Thompson
Roman - after Roman Polanski
August - my favourite month
Amadeo - I love Mozart but Amadeus is too much
Thomas - one of my best friend's names
Alyosha - after the characters in The Brothers Karamazov


Girls:
Andalib (m) - means 'nightingale', maybe Libby for short?
Sofia (m) - meaning 'a mystic', a version of Sufiya from Sufi
Aqila (m) - means 'the best'
Halah (m) - means 'halo' or 'aureole'
Maryam (m) - Muslim name for Mary
Dima (m) - means soft, constant rain or downpour
Aida (m) - means 'returning'
Celeste - after my favourite teacher when I was young
Thérèse - after the Saint and a character in one of my favorite books ('Carole' by Patricia Highsmith)
Esmé - after the Salinger character
Estella - after the character in Great Expectations

[ex-londonso.livejournal.com]

Oh! And for boys I forgot Ismail, which is my dad's name, and also after the character in Moby Dick.
