need opinions!

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I made a boy list a long time ago and not much has changed on it but my girls list was totally revamped! Now I am not sure how much I like most of a my girl list and I wanted some opinions from you lovely people on both lists. I kept the number down to 16 names. The ones in bold are the ones I love, the ones in italics I would love to use but probably won't. They aren't in any order (except my absolute favorites being on top ;D). What do you think? Which ones do you love/hate/like/feel meh to?

Also, I live in Venezuela and my family doesn't speak english (except for my sibs) so this is why the spellings would be a little off on some of these.

Thanks in advanced!

Boys: 

Jude
Jasper (no, not because of that Twilight series... been told it's on there)
Christopher
Travis
Thomas
Tobias
Edward
Lennon (though I would never put this with Paul or Jude)
Paul
Damien
Osbourne
Zachary
Nathaniel
Elijah
Poe - Only as a middle name though
Rordan

 

Girls:

Rhiannon
Elena
Eleonor/a
Luna
Mariam
Violet
Lucía - nn Lucy
Genesis
Evelynn
Memphis
Dorian
Magdalena
Sophia/fia
Delta
Avalon
Rain

(I have a thing for names not ending in the typical hispanic way for girls... as in not ending in -a)

Boys:

Jude - I think of Jude Law, so no
Jasper - reminds me of Twilight
Christopher - very common
Travis - love
Thomas - meh
Tobias - no
Edward - Twilight again
Lennon - trying too hard
Paul - eh
Damien - no
Osbourne - Ozzy?
Zachary - not feeling it
Nathaniel - Nate is a cute nickname
Elijah - I prefer Eli
Poe - Edgar Allan
Rordan - This looks made up



Girls:

Rhiannon - meh
Elena - no
Eleonor/a - not my style
Luna - no thanks
Mariam - I prefer Miriam
Violet - no
Lucía - nn Lucy - pretty
Genesis - ack no
Evelynn - I like it with one N
Memphis - no thanks
Dorian - sounds old lady ish
Magdalena - alright
Sophia/fia - okay
Delta - I think of the hotel chain
Avalon - reminds me of Mickey Avalon, a horribly trashy yet excellent rapper
Rain - something an emo 15 year old would name her kid

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

again, I don't get a lot of these things because of where I live (like Avlon and Delta) and uh... I totally admit to Osbourne being because of Ozzy xD

Poe is totally for Edgar Allan, Rordan is a legit name (Irish), Eli is a girl's name here, Miriam is nice but Mariam is my sister's middle name, thus why I picked that spelling.

Either way I appreciate your opinions!

I don't like: Lennon, Osbourne, Poe, Rordan, Rhiannon, Genesis, Memphis, Dorian (for a girl...I like it on a boy), Delta, Avalon, or Rain.

The rest are okay. Overall, I really like your taste :)

Thank you very much for the opinions! I agree on Eleanora being a little too uh... fru-fru? xD

Beatle love makes the world go 'round!

Memphis is my male cats name, we named him after Nic Cages charactor in gone in 60 seconds. I think it sounds cool, but not on a human girl lol.

I do like Christopher, Thomas, Nathanel, Elijah.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

lol I love the name Memphis on people xD but yes my family would probably kill me for it!

Thanks

The only names I like: Jude, Thomas, Tobias, Nathaniel

I'm sorry, but IMHO a lot of your names are trying hard to be trendy (or what would be perceived as trendy to me, at least).

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

oh, it's your opinion and it's completely valid!

I know a lot of these name are 'trendy names' in the US while here are normal (I know more girls named Genesis than Monica, which is my name) and most names on the girl list are actually family names.
