shifting tastes

[julia-michelle.livejournal.com]

I think my taste in names is going through an evolution. I'm finding I don't have the same feeling towards a lot of my long-time favourites, and I'm starting to be drawn towards totally different styles of names.

Not entirely unusual I'm sure, I know it's happened to me at least once before, post high school.

Either way, what do you think of the following:

Boys
Joshua
Jude
Luke
Samuel
Logan
Zachary
Parker
Tristan
Nathan
Leo (I can't for the life of me think of a full form for Leo that I like, but I LOVE the nickname).

Girls
Lillian
Violet
Alice
Ramona
Naomi
Phoebe
Fern
Tabitha

Also, do you have a name that you LOVE but would never be considered a favourite due to it's atrocious meaning? For example, I've always loved Claudia but the meaning (disabled or lame) kind of ruins it for me.

This DID however work in my favour when the Fiance told me he really liked the name Kennedy for a girl. I tried to tell him just how awful an idea that is, but it's the fact that it means deformed head or some such nonsense that finally convinced him.
