baby names picked out already

[amy-christina.livejournal.com]

I'm only 20 and not even thinking about marriage/kids all that yet, but I wondered what people thought of the following names. Some of them I picked out years ago and some are 'new'. But they all have their own stories behind them, they're not just names I like, they're meaningful.

Girls:

Marian Rose
Gwendolyn Elizabeth (Gwen)
Vienna Rose
Ella Estrella-Luz
Hadyn Iris
Antoinette Lyn (Toni)
Paisley Elizabeth


Boys:

Joaquin Turner
Major Raphael
Dillon Gabriel
Andrew Michael

vienna rose sounds like a rose of vienna. ella estrella is too repetetive.

estrella is pronounced uh-stray-uh. so I don't think the two sets of l will be a problem with pronunciation, just the visual.

Marian Rose - beautiful. I'm not a fan of Rose but I love Marian.
Gwendolyn Elizabeth (Gwen) - it's but I think it's such a "star" name.
Vienna Rose - reminds me of vienna sausages.. not sure I like that.
Ella Estrella-Luz - I really like Ella but I don't know about that middle name with it.
Hadyn Iris - beautiful
Antoinette Lyn (Toni) - I absolutely love this name.
Paisley Elizabeth - It's cutesy. That can be bad or good.


Boys:

Joaquin Turner - different but cute
Major Raphael - I like it
Dillon Gabriel - I love Gabriel
Andrew Michael - this is such a simple name but I really like it.

:)

Marian Rose - not my style, but I like the combo and it's pretty and a nice happy medium between unique and common
Gwendolyn Elizabeth (Gwen) - I think I feel the same way about this one
Vienna Rose - Haha, and this one
Ella Estrella-Luz - OMG!Love! I love Ella. Not into Estrella-Luz, but I'm assuming that has some significance to you and it's not bad.
Hadyn Iris - I really like Hadyn, not as big of a fan of Iris, but it's a nice combo
Antoinette Lyn (Toni) - not my style, but I like Toni. I don't like Lyn as a mn (too plain and common for me), but it's not a bad combo
Paisley Elizabeth - Love the combo

Joaquin Turner - Not my style, but I like the combo and Turner is a nice mn
Major Raphael - Don't really like it. Major just seems a little too out there for me. However, I've definitely heard worse and it has even started growing on me since I first read it.
Dillon Gabriel - Dillon isn't my style, but I LOVE Gabriel, and I like the combo, too.
Andrew Michael - Love it :).

What is Hadyn? It looks made up. Irish is nice.

Major is a military rank. Your other boy's names are good.

What is Haydn?
The "Father of the String Quartet", well that's what wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Haydn) says :)

Though in this context I'm more inclined to say 'misspelling of Hayden'.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

I know about Haydn :) But she had HADYN on here, not Haydn.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

Ah right
Hmm still a mystery then.

Girls:

Marian Rose - cute and classy.
Gwendolyn Elizabeth (Gwen) - too much of a mouthful... pick a shorter name to match one of those longer names... "Gwendolyn Rose"'d be nice.
Vienna Rose - I like Vienna, but as a middlename, a while back I reccomended "Iris Vienna".
Ella Estrella-Luz - It sounds like a nursery rhyme character... or a name that kids could easily make an evil rhyming song up about... I love Ella, but not the rest.
Hadyn Iris - What is Hadyn? I like Iris :)
Antoinette Lyn (Toni) - Not my style, but I guess it's alright.
Paisley Elizabeth - I'm unsure of Paisley, it's kind of cute...


Boys:

Joaquin Turner - I don't like it... sorry...
Major Raphael - Major? Seriously?
Dillon Gabriel - I like the spelling "Dylan", than it's an awesome name.
Andrew Michael - very plainjane, but it's better than the first two imo.

I really like Marian Rose for the girls, and, ha, I'm seriously planning on calling one of my sons Joaquin as well so obviously I love that one! Hmm... Joaquin AND Raphael on that list? Plus a Walk The Line icon? I'm thinking you're a Joaquin Phoenix fan. Oh, he's just so wonderful.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

Girls:

Marian Rose - unusual but quite classic, so can appreciate it
Gwendolyn Elizabeth (Gwen) - ditto
Vienna Rose - pretty
Ella Estrella-Luz - the names are nice but a bit repetative sound wise when put together
Hadyn Iris - are you seriously naming her after the composer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Haydn)? If so that's cool, but otherwise erm no [just looks like a mispelling of Hayden, which is of course a trendy boys name]. Iris is very pretty.
Antoinette Lyn (Toni) - nice
Paisley Elizabeth - sweet, good balance of contemporary and classic.


Boys:

Joaquin Turner - cool
Major Raphael - opposed to a minor Raphael? ... I find rank/title names are a bit tacky, he might grow up to be a pacifist [Raphael Major sounds OK though]
Dillon Gabriel - vey nice
Andrew Michael - nice

[chippyjem.livejournal.com]

i really really like Vienna Rose (even tho its not my style, its really breath taking) and Joaquin Turner : )

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

Girls:

Marian Rose - it's ok, but reminds me of Marion Ross.
Gwendolyn Elizabeth (Gwen) - I love this name.
Vienna Rose - so so for me but that's bc I knew a girl named Vienna & well, eh.
Ella Estrella-Luz - I like Ella, but the Ella Estrella part of the combo is wayyy too much IMO.
Hadyn Iris - I like the combo, but I don't like the spelling of Hayden.
Antoinette Lyn (Toni) - I like Antoinette but not Lyn as mn. and I don't like Toni as a nn for some reason.
Paisley Elizabeth - I'm so so on this one too as the flow of the 2 names is ok, but I'm not sold on the idea that it's a good idea to name a kid after a crazy ass pattern (um Paisley, in case you were not realizing lol ;p)


Boys:

Joaquin Turner - they're both ok but not together
Major Raphael - I just don't like this at all.
Dillon Gabriel - I like this one.
Andrew Michael - plain but ok.

Girls:

Marian Rose - pretty. Not a huge fan of Rose, it's just a filler these days, but Marian is very nice
Gwendolyn Elizabeth (Gwen) - Gwendolyn is REALLY pretty! i love it
Vienna Rose - don't really like
Ella Estrella-Luz - don't like. Ella is to nicknamey
Hadyn Iris - Hadyn is tryndee krap.
Antoinette Lyn (Toni) - don't like Antoinette
Paisley Elizabeth - don't like Paisley


Boys:

Joaquin Turner - its okay. Joaquin seems kinda pretentious though
Major Raphael - Major Raphael? doesn't sound like a name.
Dillon Gabriel - like!
Andrew Michael - okay, not a huge fan of Andrew

[amy-christina.livejournal.com]

Ella Estrella-Luz is used with the Spanish pronunciation... so Ella sounds like A-yah. Major is in my family and the nickname for it is Madge. Hadyn is basically made-up, not after the composer... so erm, yeah.
Anyways, yeah, lots of personal stuff why I love all the names, too much info to write out. Thanks all for your opinions, definitely I don't think I'd change my names for the world :)
