More names from work

[mia-verita.livejournal.com]

Hi there,

More interesting names that have come across my desk. (I work at a company that makes personalized items for kids among other things)...

What do you all think of:

Brogan (f)
Shivaun (f)
Bailee (f)
Laini (f)
Heaven (f)
Tatum (f)
Rayden (f)

Tyan (m)
Gustavo (m)
Jaden (m)
Marco (m)
Rowen (m)

Personally I wouldn't use any of them. Except maybe Tatum or Rowen as a middle name...maaaybe.

Brogan is interesting... I'm not sure if I like it or not, but I'm intrigued. I don't like the spellings Shivaun and Bailee at ALL. Tatum's nice, but I don't know if I'd ever use it.

I really like Rowen, but spelled Rowan and on a girl, instead of a boy.

Yeah, I was rhyming Brogan with "Logan" in my mind. Just not pretty to me.
I like the name Siobhan, but Shivaun makes me shudder a little. Same with Bailee.

Laini (f)

Tatum (m)
Brogan (m)
Tyan (m)

Brogan (f) - sounds like a boy's name, and even then it sucks
Shivaun (f) - wtf
Bailee (f) - I like it but would spell it Bailey
Laini (f) - once again, weird spelling, but I've never liked this name, reminds me of a girl I went to school with that I didn't like
Heaven (f) - at least it's not another Nevaeh
Tatum (f) - is a decent name
Rayden (f) - is a male character in Mortal Kombat, I wish people would stop using it for babies of either sex

Tyan (m) - don't like it
Gustavo (m) - not my thing, but it's an okay name
Jaden (m) - trendy
Marco (m) - another okay name
Rowen (m) - I like this okay, but it seems to be becoming more of a girl's name, and I usually see it spelled Rowan

OMG. That's terrible. Didn't know that but wtf. Why name your child that?!

[hemlockheart.livejournal.com]

I think it's because it rhymes with so many other names that are popular right now- Aidan, Cayden, Hayden, Jaden, etc.

[amyames.livejournal.com]

That is the most horrible spelling of Siobhan I have ever seen!

[breenah.livejournal.com]

I didn't even realize that's what they meant.

[mia-verita.livejournal.com]

I know! And Siobhan is pretty, in my opinion.

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

I agree. If you're going to use the name, at least spell it right.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

I know people who pronunce Siobhan See-o-bon, and it kills me.

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

That IS horrible!! Siobhan is my mother's middle name, people here (Belgium) don't know how to pronounce it either.

[breenah.livejournal.com]

I kind of like Brogan, Rayden, Jaden, and Rowen, but I've never seen Rowen as a male.
I hate the spelling of Bailee and Heaven should NOT be a name.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Brogan - sounds like a cross between Brody and Logan. I don't particularly like Logan, but I really dislike Brody. Both are boy's names to me anyway so I don't see how Brogan would be used for a girl. I will say that the name doesn't look bad though.
Shivaun and Bailee - Gross.
Laini - I'm never sure how to pronounce it but it looks cute. Layn-ee?
Heaven - Cheesy and makes me think of death.
Tatum - kind of like.
Rayden - Yuck. Reminds me of Raid bug killer and looks masculine.

Tyan - Can't figure out how to pronounce it. Don't like any of the ways I'm coming up with.
Gustavo - Prefere Gustav, but don't actually like either.
Jaden - Trendy. Duh.
Marco - Not my style.
Rowen - Prefer the spelling Rowan. I was surpised to see people think girl for it. (Of course, there is Rowena and that uses the "e") My first association with the name is Rowan Atkins. Not the handsomest fellow, but I still like his name.

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

I'm like Rowen (for a boy). But I really seriously dislike all the rest. Except for Marco which is legit.

[samaside.livejournal.com]

I don't like Brogan on a girl. Or any of those names at all. Except maybe Tatum.

I like Gustavo considering it's a Spanish name and Marco, too. I'd never use them but I like them. I don't mind Rowan.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I used to love Tatum. I still think it's a really nice name, but the list is just getting too long, haha. I like Rowan for a girl, but not Rowen, and not for a boy.

[heartofasnail.livejournal.com]

OH! I adore the name Brogan!

[taleofaredhead.livejournal.com]

The only one I don't mind is Rowen. As a middle name, if I were to ever use it.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

Shivaun is WAY pretty spelled Siobhan.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

And Rayden definitly reminds me of the Mortal Kombat character Raiden.
