Date: 2009-07-16 01:41 am (UTC)Kami, Kimber and Laney are too nicknamey to be given names, imo.
Greenley is terrible.

Date: 2009-07-16 01:39 pm (UTC)Addison - can't help but think of Gray's Anatomy. But I do like the name. I like Madison more though.
Kami - This seems like a nickname, maybe for something like Camile. It's cute but I can't see it as a full name.
Kimber - Makes me think of Nip/Tuck. I admit to liking the name more than I expected myself to. I definitely like this more than Kimberly.
Kira - I like this name as well. Kira just sounds pretty.
Laney - I am more used to seeing Lacey but Laney is alright too. I don't particularly like this name though. Just not my taste.
Reanna - I agree with most of the other comments and like Rhianna better. I like the way the name flows. It's pretty and not as clunky as Rhiannon.
Greenley (husbands 1st choice) - It sounds too much like a last name, and I really don't like last name or trade names as first names. It is pretty though, so maybe as a middle name? But people might think it's your maiden name...
I would rank them:
Kira
Brooke
Addison
Kimber
Reanna
Greenley (husbands 1st choice)
Kami
Laney

Date: 2009-07-16 05:24 pm (UTC)Laney is really cute, but the danger is that it's just that - cute. Which isn't so great for a 30 year-old.
Addison is extremely popular at the moment (see Name Voyager: Addison (http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager#prefix=ADDISON&ms=false&sw=f&exact=false), Kimber sounds incomplete and Kami looks like a nickname (for Cameron or something). Reanna reminds me of Rihanna, but it's not an awful name.
Greenley...it sounds nice, but it looks like a last name. Then again, I like Harrison (for a boy, of course) so I'm not the one to judge when it comes to that! ;)

Date: 2009-07-19 08:04 am (UTC)Addison - Is quite popular atm, and isn't really my style, but I don't hate it.
Kami - I think this is such a cute nn but I dislike it for a full name. I'd prefer it as a nn for Camille/a or something.
Kimber - I like this, but not enough to use on a person.
Kira - I love this.
Laney - I like this on a little girl, but not so much on an adult.
Reanna - I prefer Rihanna, but it's a beautiful name either way.
Greenley - I really hate this name, sorry.

Kira Brooke
Kami Reanna
