ETA: I originally typed Chase River, but that's wrong. It's Chase Creek, AND his dad wanted his first name to BE Creek and really pushed for the name River instead of Aiyana.

Bryant Wayne
Ethan Richard

Kylie Anne
Kirsten

Jamie Hope

Carson Rolla
Britni
Drake Marshall

Michael Philip

Jonathan
Brander
Takara

Austin Kyle
Makenna

Drake Marshall is my favorite. So's Austin Kyle. I love Chase but I'm not so sure about River.

heh.. I actually said that wrong... it's Chase Creek (which I think is worse) and his dad WANTED Creek as his fn and his little sister Aiyana-- yea, he wanted her name to be River.

Britni. ickkkk!
I like Kirsten.

I cry about Britni. Naming your daughter something that ends in "i" is almost like condemning her to perpetual ditziness. Even if she's not a ditz, everyone will assume she's going to be.

I don't mind Creek and I like River but you really should have one or the other, so good on Mom for vetoing a second body of water in the family.

Rolla? Holla? I just don't get Rolla.

Naming your daughter something that ends in "i" is almost like condemning her to perpetual ditziness. Even if she's not a ditz, everyone will assume she's going to be.

My name is spelled with an "i" (Jeni) and people who don't know how my name is spelled before they really know me, like ALL of my husbands friends went "really? you spell it like that?" when they saw it written and a few actually said "but that seems....soo...flaky, and you're not!" it was funny because before they said that I'd never thought of it like that, and you are the only other person i've seen to think that way.

I don't know that I used to think of it that way, but my cousin is marrying a woman named Brandi. Who really, really is ditzy, and we always call her "Brandi with an 'i'". I'm not sure if I did think of it as ditzy before I met her, but now that I do it was like a whole world opened where everyone is like "Oh, yeah, ends in i? Ditz."

Andrew John - nice enough, nms though, I'm not a fan of Andrew
Chase Creek - I love Chase, but Creek not so much
Aiyana Nicole - very pretty

Bryant Wayne - seems too cowboy-ish for me
Ethan Richard - nice

Kylie Anne - Kylie is one of the few tryndee names I can tolerate, I do think it's cute
Kirsten - very nice!

Jamie Hope - Jamie is nms but there's nothing wrong with it

Carson Rolla - love Carson. Not feeling the Rolla...
Britni - eep Brittany is okay, I can even accept Britney, but Britni is TOO much
Drake Marshall - its okay, not a big fan of Drake though

Michael Philip - nice

Jonathan - never have liked
Brander - whuh? don't like
Takara - pretty

Austin Kyle - nice
Makenna - don't like at all

Andrew John - I like it, but too diciplish for me
Chase Creek
Aiyana Nicole - i think thats nice, Nicole is a more common, standard, possibly boring name so its a good pairing

Bryant Wayne - I don't like Wayne at all, but Bryant is okay
Ethan Richard - Good solid middle name

Kylie Anne - too trendy
Kirsten - I've always liked this one

Jamie Hope - I LOVE jamie, but hope has been ruined for me

Carson Rolla - interesting
Britni - sounds like either a stripper, hooters girl or cocktail waitress...no offense to anyone who is one of those!
Drake Marshall - sounds like the name of the bad guy who wears all black and hides in the shadows of some cop gone bad movie

Michael Philip - i like that!

Jonathan - classic
Brander - looks like the nurse's handwriting was bad and the "n" in Branden looked like an "r" and they kept it
Takara - pets only

Austin Kyle - nice
Makenna - It just doesn't look right

None are really my style. I admit I kind of like Creek, though, and I LOVE River, kind of wish he'd gotten his way on that ;) Chase Creek sounds like a landmark or something, though.
