i like etta quite a bit. very sweet, and ages well, imo.

I like em all minus darby. I think I might like astor more but I dunno

i've seen it spelled astor too, but i live in new york and will always associate that spelling with the street, so i've opted for the 'e' instead of the 'o'.

Ammon is interesting, but so uncommon I'd be concerned about no one being able to figure it out (i.e. a kid would have to repeat it a lot).

Etta is cute.

I don't like Darby.

i love etta. darby for a boy sounds too feminine to me. that name is kind of ruined for me because i knew a girl once named darby stoner and...yeah.

I dated a guy named Dahbie (prn just the same) I don't recommend it as a name.

dahbie had an "r" sound like darby?

Yes. It was weird. Everyone presumed it was spelt Darby until they saw it written down.

P.s where did my original comment go?

love etta and aster (i <3 the flower). darby is similar to aubrey...male name but sounds feminine these days.

Ammon - Not a fan of the sound
Aster - Nice
Etta - Very adorable, but very nicknamey. I don't think it should be a full name.
Darby - Definitely masculine. I think it would sound awful on a girl.

Ammon--the name of a prophet from the Book of Mormon. Not a bad thing from my point of view, being LDS myself. I can't say it's a sound I'm particularly fond of, though.

Aster--pretty, and yet, no. That first syllable lends itself to all manner of unsavory nicknames.

Etta--ick. All I can see is a chubby, elderly black lady. Nothing against chubby, elderly black ladies, but I don't really want my baby to look like one. I also just don't think it's very pretty.

I do think Darby is a bit feminine, but not disastrously so. It could be made to work.

I really like Darby, actually. For a boy or a girl.

I think Etta is adorable.

I was not even aware that Darby could be female until I joined this community, to be honest. I think it's an ugly name regardless of gender, but were I to use it, I'd use it on a boy.

I've seen someone named Aster before, just like the flower. I like it, but there's always the chance that people will get it mixed up with Esther.

Ammon I'm not a fan of, but I do like Etta.
