I find myself obsessed with boys’ names. There are very few truly ‘girly’ names that I like. Is anyone else like this?

Okay, here is a list of my current favourite names. Let me know what you think. Also, I'd love to hear of any combinations of the first/middle names that appeal to you.

Boys:

Theodore
Elliott
Milo (My – low)
Noah
James
Oliver
Simon
Elijah
Neville
Emery
Quinn
Liam
Seamus (Shay – mus)

Girls:

Elliott
Rylan
Willow
Ean

Middle Names:

Cyrus
Patrick
Morgan
Spencer
Wyatt
Drew
Lawrence
Jude
Ashton
Reese
Marty
Finn
Jack
Wilder
Montague

Also, I think my grandparents’ names are rather funny/interesting. They are: Dennix and Birte (beer-ta), Camilla and Vernon.

I am just the opposite. There are NO boy names I especially like.

Noah - like it but don't know if i'd use it
James - too... blah / common
Oliver - i love it
Simon - bad association lol
Elijah - LOVE but wouldn't use
Neville - not my style
Emery - i like this name, but for a girl, and spelled differently
Quinn - eh it's okay
Liam - so cute =D
Seamus (Shay – mus) - no way, no one would ever pronounce that right, and it sounds like "shame us"

Girls:

Elliott - nooo not for a girl
Rylan - no i like Ryan for a girl though
Willow - my uncle's dog's name lol
Ean - never seen this before.. don't really like it

It boggles my mind that anyone would consider Elliott a girl's name.

What's next? Girls named Charles or Robert?

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

I love it. People would most likely call her 'Ellie' as a short form.
My best friend wants to name her little girl Kevyn.

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

Really? What are your favourite girl names?

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your input!
What was the spelling of 'emery' that you prefer?

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

Yes, pronounced as Ian. I think the 'Ean' spelling is a bit more feminine looking.

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

Ha. I have a hard time liking girl names. I'm not sure why.

Do you like Emery for a girl?
Kilo is rather interesting, though I prefer Milo because of the softer sound of the 'm'.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I can see that you like boys names... considering you're favorite girls names are very masculine. I personally like MORE girls names, but I feel stronger about my boys names...

Boys:

Theodore - OK, nms
Elliott - OK, nms
Milo - a dogs name.
Noah - adore.
James - very classy, a good middle name.
Oliver - so many people love this name it seems, but it's not for me.
Simon - a chipmunk. ;)
Elijah - I like it.
Neville - No.
Emery - Never heard this before, it sounds like a girls name to me.
Quinn - I adore this, especially for a girl
Liam - Nice.
Seamus - SHAME US! This is just awful.

Girls:

Elliott - Boys name imo
Rylan - I know one, he's a big, really unattractive guy who likes to moon people... sooo it's not for me :) ESPECIALLY as a girls name.
Willow - This is beautiful, please use this one.
Ean - "Ian", and it's also for a boy imo

Middle Names:

Cyrus - a guy I lived with who had terrible BO = bad association
Patrick - really good middle name.
Morgan - I love it for a girl :)
Spencer - good middle name!
Wyatt - not for me at all.
Drew - pretty for boys and girls.
Lawrence - not for me.
Jude - not for me.
Ashton - I like.... for a boy.
Reese - I still think of peanut butter cups, hehe.
Marty - ew. An old, witchly woman I know.
Finn - I love it! how about "Finley"?
Jack - awesome!
Wilder - oh wow, no... why not use "Vance" or "Van" instead?
Montague - awful.

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the name James to bits, but I do think I would end up using it as a middle name, mostly because many people turn James into Jim when the person gets older. Jim is disgusting.

Isn't it awful when a bad association ruins a name? I hate that.

Ha. The Marty that I knew was a boy, very attractive, and great at volley-ball. Yum.

Ean - Give me a freakin' break.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Kevyn?

*boggle*

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Hmm. So if you want it to look feminine, why not use an actual girl's name?

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THAT BOOK!!!!

I haven't met many people who have even heard of it, and it's SO AWESOME!!

[laananas.livejournal.com]

I think you stole MY list! :D

Boys:
Theodore- This is cute, and not too typical.
Elliott- Love it, but I prefer it for a girl, spelled "Elliot".
Milo (My – low)- Again, a not so common name. I've had an obsession with this name lately. I love it!
Noah- LOVE it. Plan on naming my first son either this or Milo.
I also like Oliver, Elijah, Quinn and Liam


Girls:

Elliott- Like I mentioned above, I love it.
Rylan- Interesting. I think I'd like it better for a boy, but it's cute.
Willow- My favorite girl name at the moment.
Ean- For a girl? Hmm...never heard it for a girl :D

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Theodore - One of my short list boy names. I just love, love, love the nn Theo.
Elliott - Nice
Milo - Nice
Noah - I don't care for this, but I do like the feminine version Noa, for a girl.
James - Nice if plain.
Oliver - Very trendy
Simon - Ok, a bit nerdy sounding to me.
Elijah - Too common for me, or I get that impression. I know several.
Neville - I don't like this at all.
Emery - Nice, kind of makes me think of nail files though.
Quinn - Nms.
Liam - Nice
Seamus - Nms but fine.

Elliott - Scrubs has not helped this masculine name seem even the slightest bit feminine to me. I really don't think it's a good girl name at all.
Rylan - Contrived
Willow - Ok, but very passive and meek sounding to me.
Ean - No

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

I like Anne, Elisabeth, Margaret, Eloise, Amelia, Caroline, Catherine, and Elinor.

I like most of your names, especially Theodore and Milo. Good choices!

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I am in love with Theodore. It will certainly be the name of my first son.

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

I don't like the sound of many girl names.

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

That's awesome!

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

I love it as well. It's adorable.

[ink-smear.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised that so many people see 'Quinn' as a girl name. I do like it for either, though.

I'm so glad that so many people seem to like Wilder. I was expecting some bad responses to it.
