I'm not planning on having kids for awhile, but I want to know what your opinions are on these names.
Last name would be Alley, by the way.

Girls:
Leighton (lay-tun) Danielle
Illyria (ill-ear-E-uh) Rose
Fallon Marie
Charli Denise

Boys:
Liam David
Cavanaugh Michael
Trey Daniel
Cillian (kill-ian) Michael

Oh, and my cousin is having a baby boy. They're naming him Kale. Not sure on the middle name yet.

i like rose. thats it.

i like liam too.

kale is a vegetable.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

I agree with Kale.

[open0heart.livejournal.com]

I had no idea it was a vegetable lol

[arbus.livejournal.com]

haha, its kind of a nasty vegetable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale) too (just my taste)

[open0heart.livejournal.com]

Ew. But I still kind of like it as a name.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Totally agree, it is more vegetable than name. I'm always baffled by the sheer number of little Kales...

[home-to-me.livejournal.com]

None of them are particularly my style, but I sort of like Leighton, Fallon, Liam and Cillian.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

Leighton and Liam are the front runners.
I like my Irish names :)

[ohhowlovely.livejournal.com]

Illyria kinda sounds like a disease to me.
I like Leighton and Cillian

[breenah.livejournal.com]

Embarassingly enough, Illyriah is from "Angel".
It's also a city in Kansas, but spelled with an E.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I really like Leighton, Liam and Cillian. If Fallon were on the boy list, I might be able to like it; it just sounds and looks so masculine. Charli Denise is the worst in my opinion. Rose and Marie tend to be filler middle names, they're so popular now.

I think it's so ridiculous when people say that Kale is a vegetable. Ruby is a gem, Olive is a tree and a fruit. Rose is a flower! But people always pick on Kale. I like it.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

Charli Denise was just kinda one thrown in there. And I can't think of any middle name to go with Illyriah and Marie is my sister's middle name, that's why they're up there.

I love to EAT kale, but... a bitter vegetable?

Don't get me wrong, I was all for Gwyneth Paltrow naming her kid Apple, but somehow I get the feeling people naming their sons Kale are still the kind of people who'd flip out about children named Ocean and Apple. Kale SOUNDS trendy but manages to have an edible meaning... not a perfect combination of qualities in my book.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

Lol.
It fits my cousin and his wife though. They're kinda odd.

[mytinyocean.livejournal.com]

charli denise just reminds me of charlie sheen and denise richards. but i like cillian a LOT!

[breenah.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I didn't think of that.
No more Charli Denise at all!

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

Killian Jude is one of my top names for boys. I know it's tradiationally spelled with a C, but for pronounciation sake...

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

I like Leighton Danielle, and Fallon Marie. I don't like Charli because I think that names ending in "i" are generally tacky. I would like Charlie better, or a full name with Charli as the nn. Illyria does sound like a disease, even though you said it means angel.

Liam David is really nice. I don't really like Cavanaugh, it's just not my style. Trey is ok, and I like Daniel. I don't like Cillian at all, "kill" is just too harsh.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

It doesn't mean angel it's from the tv show "Angel" lol.
And yeah, it's kinda odd.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I really like Illyria Rose & Liam David. They look and sound very pretty, in my opinion. I think Leighton & Cavanaugh are ok, but I'm really not a fan of Charli, Fallon, Trey & Cillian.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot about Kale...in Dutch (I'm Dutch), it's the adjective of 'bald' ;) So I don't like that.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

That's funny.

[sing4th.livejournal.com]

Illyria makes me think of diarrhea. Yeah, not good.
Cavanaugh is interesting, but not in a bad way. Nickname Cavan is pretty cute -- sounds like Gavin, which I like better.

[taleofaredhead.livejournal.com]

Liam David is the only of the boys' names that I like. A good strong masculine name, I think :)

Fallon seems too masculine to be a girl's name, and Charli Denise makes me shudder. No offense meant, just my opinion. Illyria is pretty, but doesn't really mesh with the last name.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to agree with Charli Denise, it was kinda thrown on there.
I love Illyria, but I was afraid somebody would say it wouldn't fit with Alley.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

I don't like any of your girls names. I like Liam and Trey.

[istytehcrawk.livejournal.com]

I like (but not love) Fallon on its own, but I don't think it goes with Alley at all. Fallon Alley. Nope.

With that last name, I'd expect many names to sound like streets, but of the ones you've given, I think that only applies to Leighton. Leighton Alley definitely sounds like a street in some snobby neighborhood.

I like (again, but not love) Liam David and Trey Daniel.

[amandidda.livejournal.com]

Aside from the fact that I think of Meester (and I'm pretty sure you do to considering your icon) I love the name Leighton.

Illyria is one of my favorite.

How do you pronounce Cavanaugh?

[breenah.livejournal.com]

Kav-uh-naw

Another embarrassing reason, it's from "Crossing Jordan". It's her last name.

[amandidda.livejournal.com]

Ok, dont watch that show so I didn't know. I like it though. That's not embarrassing. Tons of people are named after TV characters. (Me for example. My mom loved Days of Our Lives while she was pregnant.) I have a bunch of TV/Movie/Book names that I love.

[hemlockheart.livejournal.com]

I always thought Leighton was pronounced Lee-ton, I wonder how many other people would too. :/

I like all of the middle names for girls, but Fallon is the only first I like. I like the boys names except for Trey.

I personally don't think Kale is that bad even if it is a vegetable. Why not? I mean, Sage and Basil are names too, it just changes with the times.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

I've never heard Basil used for a name in real life.
And both the Sage's I know are assholes.

And I don't know why, but I've always pronounced it Lay-ton.

[onzeminutos.livejournal.com]

Kale is also the name that the Romani people call themselves in Finland and also in Spain and Wales, I think. How would they pronounce it anyway, like Cale?

[breenah.livejournal.com]

With a hard K, like the vegetable.
I didn't know that about the Romani, that's interesting.

[janeundercover.livejournal.com]

Lovee the name Leighton :)
and Liam's cute. reminds me of Liam Neeson who's so good lol.

Fallon's nice, too.
