- Annika Jayne - better without the 'y' in jane - Lena Jayne - ditto - Violet Elle - i like it, although violet is becoming pretty popular - Zoe Bell - pretty, i'd add an 'e' to the end of bell though
- Auden James - unique first name, but not too out there, also sounds nice with james - James Dean - i love james and i think dean could work as a middle name for many combos, but james + dean= tacky - Leopold James - leopold seems very over the top to me. i'd just go with leo james..especially since a lot of people will probably end up calling him leo anyway - Sebastian Theodore - i like both names, but not together. they're both "heavy" and bold names in my opinion. i'd pair them with simpler names, like Sebastian Jude or Theodore Reid
Woah, I think I've never been more divided about a namelist than yours! There are names I really love (Alexandria Kate, Audrey, Belen, Clementine Anna, Jude Anthony, Julian Christopher, Nicholas Allen) and some I really hate (Cayton Beckett, Bentley, Jagger, Jennet Kendall, Laraine).
Overall I think you have nice list...I also kind of like Violet, but my problem with that name is that it sounds so much like 'violent'. Unless, of course, you're pronouncing it like Vee-oh-LET.
Gabriel and Julian are my top 2 boys names. Sven is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I'd only use it if it was a family name. Noel Julian sounds awesome. I prefer Leo to Leopold, since I never heard Leopold before the movie Kate and Leopold.
Like the above comment, I find your list to be a love/hate one, but with far more loved names than hated. Cool as James Dean was, I just couldn't do that to a kid, same with Jagger.
