K i didn't notice that "Ass-ton" thing before. Thanks for pointing that out. I can't stand the name Brady. I'm serious about Jesse James, I love the way it goes easy. Rocky was because of some movie I saw when I was younger (3 ninjas) ya.. plus I love it as the whole tough boy image. Gage is supposed to be a tough name too.

Aston (not "ash-ton" .. its "as-ton"): Then why not spell it Ashton?
Cody: It's alright.
Casey: More of a girl name for me.

Jesse James: The bandit? :)
Rocky: Definitely seems like a dog's name to me.
Corban: Hmm. Split on this.
Colt: I'm a farm girl, so...
Reese: I like it, but it reminds me of the boy in the Caroline Cooney books (where the kidnapped girl sees her picture on the milk carton? those books were rad)
Andrew: My little brother's name! :) And I came up with his name, so I definitely like it.
Gage: Too anime-ish for me.
Chase or Chaze: Chase if you're going to have one, but I don't like either.

Cody: Actually I really like this for a girl.
Skylar: Hate it.
Ryan: It'a alright.
Arley: Looks like it should be Arlene :)

Marilyn: It's alright.
Chloe: It's alright.
Lily: I like it.

Then why not spell it Ashton?

Because its not Ashton lol. Its "AS-Ton"
Yes, I did get Jesse James from the bandit haha.
Rocky was supposed to be a tough boy name.

[maude.livejournal.com]

Oops, misread the Aston explanation, sorry. :)

But I do agree with above commentor...Ass-ton jokes galore.

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I think that I probably would like Aston if I didn't know it as a place name.
I love Dylan and Jesse.
Arley and Icelynn are nice, I've never heard them before.
I like Skylar, Chloe, Lily, Nicole and Maxi.

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

I have some pretty mixed feelings on Aston. I was even thinking it could be spelled Astin. I think I just like it because I don't hear it often.

[akgothbitch.livejournal.com]

I've always loved Cody.
Also Jordan for a girl, or even Jordanna ( from actress Jordanna Brewster).

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

I love Cody, but I hate the fact that its a nickname for Dakota. = /

[akgothbitch.livejournal.com]

Really?I've never heard/read that and we had Dakota on the list for our daughter.

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

My friend told me that Lindsay Lohan has a brother named Dakota who they call Cody. Also I once looked it up && it does make a little sense.

[akgothbitch.livejournal.com]

Def will make me rethink using the name Dakota if we have another girl.I'm gonna have to write it down so I remember and look into it cuz I'll forget by then since we don't plan to even seriously talk of #2 for a year.

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

Aston isn't that bad. True that kids would be calling a kid named Aston ..ASSton but everyone goes through some sort of name thing.
You think Codys boring? Really?
Serious on the Jesse James thing, not because of the guy, but because it sounds good together.
Rocky - 3 ninjas, the movie Rocky, pretty sure a power ranger was named Rocky too.
I knew a girl in school named Maxi, no one played with her name.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

I like Ryan and Savannah from the girls' list.

[joelenebeverly.livejournal.com]

I really like some of these names :) Although I liked it better when you spelt Aston "Astin". I knew a guy named Rocky growing up and we all thought it was a great name. I also knew a Reese, but it was spelt Rhys (which I prefer). I love the name Arley, I think i'll add it to my list!

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

I still love the name Aston. Yes, Rocky is a great name! I always thought it sounded cute and tufff :).

[thorabrighid.livejournal.com]

I don't know why you'd name a kid Jesse James, there are so many bad connections! I really like Arly and Gage. Those would be cute sibiling names. I love Aston, I think it sounds very dignified and Noble, but the ass-ton jokes would be a constant. Unfortanately, kids are very mean. :(

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

Arly & Gage would be the cutest sounding names for siblings. I can picture little badasses for some reason. Mostly because of Gage. && yay finally someone who can appreciate Aston<3

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i like the name brodie a lot, preferably spelled this way. i know a kid with that name and i think its fabulous. its such a great alternative to the increasingly popular brady.

for girls, i like chloe, lily (really popular though!), savannah, and joey (short for something).

[nikkichan.livejournal.com]

the only boy name i really like is Chase...

and for the girl names...


Girls

Jordan - nms
Cody - cute i guess...but i associate it with boys
Skylar - i've mostly seen it used as a boys name
Ryan - boys name
Arley - dont like
Chelsea - LOVE
Icelynn - nms
Marilyn - nms
Chloe - i like this name
Lily - i like this name too
Savannah - nms
Nicole - LOVE!! (ok im biased...its my name)
Maxi - pad
Joey - nms
Peyton - cute, but i see it as a boys name more than a girl's
Brooke - LOVE it

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

I never understood why Skylar & Peyton were considered boys names. I always thought they were more girlish.

[nikkichan.livejournal.com]

maybe its used more as a boys name in a certain region (like the south for example), whereas in another its more of a girl name (midwest for example)? thats my guess anyways

Whats up with everyone hating on Jesse James? My boyfriend lives with the name & most people tend to like it

[anapology.livejournal.com]

It's a cowboys name, it's more of a comical name than anything else... & i doubt most people like it, by the comments you've had on here!

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

All names come from somewhere. && I meant people we first meet and hang out with like it. Not online.

[fingie.livejournal.com]

Boys

Aston (not "ash-ton" .. its "as-ton") - I immediately thought ass-ton too, but if there was a way that a kid would never ever get picked on for it, Id say go for it because I like it...its just one of those names that screams "Make fun of me!" Esp. if the child ever weighs significantly more than his peers.
Cody - Alright
Casey - Eh
Brody - Neighbors bull mastiff, so I think of a dog when I hear it
Dylan - Love it
Derek - Love it, but spelt Derick [my brothers is spelt like that]
Jesse James - I know of a kid with that name and hes seriously the worst devil child ever. But I like Jesse & James by themselves
Rocky - No. Never.
Corban - Not too bad
Colt - No. He'll constantly be associated with horses/cowboys
Reese - Girly to me because of Reese Witherspoon
Andrew - Okay
Gage - Hate it
Chase or Chaze - Like Chase but not Chaze

Girls

Jordan - Eh
Cody - Boys name.
Skylar - Hate it
Ryan - Boys name. [My other brothers name hah]
Arley - No.
Chelsea - Eh
Icelynn - NO.
Marilyn - NMS
Chloe - Eh
Lily - Okay
Savannah - Okay
Nicole - Okay
Maxi - Pad. Maybe as a nn for Maxine...but a serious MAYBE
Joey - My bfs name..I could see it as a nn for like Josephine or something though
Peyton - Hate it
Brooke - Like it

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

I laughed at the thought of an Aston being bigger than his peers. I thought of it as a tough boy image. && the whole Jesse James thing got out of hand, I had actually meant Jesse as a first name with James as a middle name.

[fingie.livejournal.com]

I also think hed get a lot of people calling him Ashton just because they wouldnt really 'read' the name, you know? Maybe its just me but sometimes I just kind of skim-read and get words/names wrong because theyre close to what I think they are ;x
Like I said I like Jesse & James by themselves..but I think both of them together like that is kind of overkill. However, I could see them used in a name as like first name 2 middle names last name if that makes sense..like Jesse Ryan James Whoever or something but thats me. That way the automatic 'Jesse James' thing isnt as noticable but you get both names in there :)
