I like Amir.

I used to work with a guy called Amir and my dads name is Ami.

Sebastian drives me up the wall every time I look at it. I love Sebastie, and that second A is just so ugly to me.

And of course, I meant Sebastien, not...whatever the heck I ended up typing, lol.

Even though Gia and Guzzi start with the same letter, at least they're not both a hard G or a soft G sound. And I doubt most people will ever know her middle name is Grace.

I like Sebastian, Anthony, Joshua Daniel, and Joseph. Gracyn bothers me--or rather, the letter Y in the name bothers me.

Sebastian is one of my favorites!

I will never understand the appeal of Caylee or any of its incarnations. It's so childish to me, a name a girl can't grow out of.

I like Amir. I don't know what's going with Esequiel... is Ezekiel so common that it requires kre8tyvitee???

I think Esequiel is the Spanish spelling. Multicultural family, perhaps?

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Ooohhh... I see. In that case, I retract my comment.

For me, it's Gia that drives me up a wall.
Want to claim any heritage for it, fine, but I hate it when people play all italian and say it's "short for Gianna". Uhm, no, it's not. For one, Gianna is already a short form for Giovanna, but, most importantly, Gianna is pronounced "JAH-nnah", not "Gee-ah-nnah", so no one in Italy would use Gee-ah for Gianna, it simply doesn't include that sound.

I like Joshua Daniel, I think they flow especially well together.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, though, I think Gee-ah-nnah sounds prettier than the real prn. Not my style, but its a pretty sound.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Oh, and the prn of Gia confuses me. Is it Gee-ah or Geye-ah?

who is the genius who named their SON gracyn? with all the little graces running around in this generation? seriously thats therapy waiting to happen.

i can no longer hide my disdain for the name sebastian. i hate it. i think its horrible and pretensious and a crabs name and i do not see the appeal. at all.

gia grace is kind of ok. i think "gigi" is a cute nickname.

ok so apparently i have nothing nice to say about this list. :P

These are mostly normal (Joshua, Ava) or at least have only the normal amount of awfulness (Caylee), but... Gracyn? On a boy? Grayson, sure, fine, great. But I cannot fathom anyone interpreting Gracyn as anything but an elaboration of Grace. This poor kid is going to be mistaken for a girl His Entire Life. Parenting FAIL.
