I can pretty much guess which of these will be big HELL NO's with this community, but I've been working on this, my "master list" for a while now and I think I've narrowed it down to names I genuinely love. Girls names only, as the only boy names I'm really a fan of are Caleb, Isaac, and Nicholas.


Isabelle
Marissa
Kelly
Keira/Kiara (I prefer the second spelling, but I would pronounce it Key-air-uh and I think spelling it Kiara would make people say it Key-ahr-uh, ahr as in car)
Mallory (does this name sound dorky? I think it looks beautiful written out)
Elizabeth
Claire
Laura
Eleina (wasn't sure on the best way to spell this name)
Dawn
Malaia
Peyton
Halley (not Haley)
Natalia
Sydney
Kira
Arielle (had to spell it this way to distinguish from the mermaid a bit!)
Audrey
Kaia
Mary Anne (I love the name Mary, but it seems too short alone. This would be the complete first name)
Adelle
Amalia

The only ones really I don't like are:

Marissa
Keira/Kiara
Mallory
Dawn
Malaia
Halley
Kira
Mary Anne

And I LOVE your boy names. :)

[twoheadedboi.livejournal.com]

Mallory is my number one girls name, so you win. And I'm picky with girls names, I can only think of boy ones. If I ever have a boy, I dunno what I'd do, I'd have to put it in the bin...

[twoheadedboi.livejournal.com]

And of course I meant 'If I ever have a girl'...

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I like your boys' choices too.

[dionysia.livejournal.com]

Ixnay on:
Mallory - it's from a surname that means 'unfortunate' in French.
Malaia
Peyton
Halley

Change spellings to:
Elena
Ariel
Adele
Amelia

[dionysia.livejournal.com]

Poor Amalia will be called "Amelia" her whole life, though.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I doubt most people will know that meaning for Mallory. I like Adele spelled like that, though. But I don't like the name Amelia, I prefer the sound of Amalia.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Love:
Sydney
Isabelle (but spelled Isabel)

Like a lot:
Ariel(le)
Amalia
Marissa

Like:
Audrey
Kaia
Peyton

Indifferent to but more or less like:
Kelly
Kiara/Keira (I'd spell it Kierra for that pronounciation; used to work with a child named that and everyone pronounced it right.)
Mallory
Elizabeth
Claire
Laura
Dawn
Kira
Halley

Don't care for:
Eleina
Malaia (too close to "malaria", that's how my mind wants to read it)
Natalia
Adelle (I used to know someone I hated named Adel, ruined a name I used to really like, preferred it spelled Adele though.)
Mary Anne

[pfratz.livejournal.com]

Isabelle - I love Hispanic names, so I would spell it Isabel, but it's one of my faves.

Claire - LOVE it, and I also love Clara

Eleina - I love Elena. It transcends borders (hispanic, italian, russian and romanian all have this spelling.

[lkw18.livejournal.com]

i actually like a lot of these!

ones i don't like:
Dawn
Mary Anne
Adelle

my cousin's name is Dawn so it's a good association name for me, but it's just a little too out-dated for my taste [she was born in the 70s, as was a babysitter of mine with the name also].

mary anne is also a bit outdated and i had a daycare lady with the name who was just kind of weird.

names I'm neutral about:
marissa
kelly
elizabeth
claire
arielle

the rest i like :)

i've loved the name halley for a longggg time, but usually spelled Halle. kaia is one i've had my eye on before too.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

LOL I was waiting for someone to ask about the Baby-sitters Club. Its somewhat of a coincidence... I know Mallory, Dawn, and Mary Anne are all in those books, and those books are where I first heard the name Mallory (and really the only place I've ever heard that name!), but I pretty much stole the name Dawn from my hippie of a sister cause she loooves that name, and Mary Anne is kind of a toss up... I love the name Mary, but it seems so short and plain. I didn't like Jane with it or anything else, then I thought of Mary Anne, and when I was typing my list I noticed how I had 3 BSC names.

[the-theorist.livejournal.com]

Keira/Kiara is my favorite name for a girl! I just loooooove it!! (and pronounced the way you like)

others that I like are:
Mallory
Claire
Halley
Kira
Adelle
Amalia

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Actually, I rather like your list; none of your names evoke a "HELL NO" response in me. The only name I'm really not fond of is Malaia because I want to stick an r in there and make it Malaria. Also, I pronounce Arielle totally different than Ariel (ah-ree-EL v. AIR-ee-uhl). Other than that, I really like your list!

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I never thought of Malaria, but now that a couple of people have pointed it out, it's all I can think of when I see Malaia! lol.

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

Isabelle - i like this, but it doesn't really do much for me.
Marissa - Nms
Kelly - Nms, i think it's too plain
Keira/Kiara - i love this, only pronounced keer-uh. I don't like the Key-ara pronounciation
Mallory - I've never liked this name, i do think it sounds kind of dorky =\
Elizabeth - It's ok
Claire - Never liked this name, i think it's too plain
Laura - My sisters name, i think it's too plain too (lol, sorry sis!)
Eleina - I like this if it's pronounced El-lain-uh
Dawn - Nms
Malaia - Pretty!
Peyton - I like this, but i know a lot of people don't like this name
Halley (not Haley) - like this, like it better spelt Hallie or Halle though
Natalia - Very pretty!
Sydney - Cute, i don't think i'd ever use it though
Kira - How would you pronouce this? If it's like keer-uh i like the Keira spelling more
Arielle - I think this is really pretty! love it
Audrey - never liked this name
Kaia - Cute
Mary Anne (I love the name Mary, but it seems too short alone. This would be the complete first name) - Nms
Adelle - Nms
Amalia - This is a nice name, i prefer Amelia more though.

And btw i like all your boy names =)

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

Mallory, Dawn, and Mary Anne.... baby-sitters club much? Just wondering.

I like Dawn, Natalia, Sydney (But spelt Sidney. Too many Y's for my taste) and Amalia.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Yes and No. Its the only place I've ever heard the name Mallory, so I did steal that from those books. But I took Dawn from my sister and was semi-inspired with Mary Anne because I love the name Mary but its just too short for my tastes.

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

Arielle has been sort of ruined for me, because the only girl I know named that isn't really someone I want to think of often.

I love your boys names, too. :)

I'm really not a fan of Peyton for a girl's name. Or for a boy's name for that matter. Just generally not a fan.

Also I'm not really loving Kaia or Malaia. The rest are nice. Elizabeth and Isabelle are also on my favourites list.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Isabelle- Love this spelling
Marissa- Love it, i dont care if its too trendy because of the OC!
Kelly- Hate it.
Keira/Kiara- it's okay, i prefer the second spelling too... the first spelling would make people say Keer-uh..
Mallory- hmm a little dorky perhaps. not one of my favourites
Elizabeth- It's okay, bit boring, would never use it for a first name. I prefer Libby as a nn over Lizzy/Liza
Claire- Hate it
Laura- It's okay
Eleina- not sure how you're pronouncing this.
Dawn- hate it
Malaia- hate it, reminds me of malaria
Peyton- ehhh blah
Halley- like haylie? like halle berry? don't really like either
Natalia- nat-ahhh-leah, beautiful
Sydney- hate it.
Kira- its okay
Arielle- love it! that spelling suggesting you pronounce it Ari- elle rather than like the mermaid though, i'd stick with Ariel
Audrey- hate it.
Kaia- hate it
Mary Anne hate it
Adelle hate it
Amalia- totally prefer Amelia.
