Lillian - Cute, i prefer Liliana though
Lily - I like this a lot.
Lydia - All i think of whenever i hear this name is 'Chlamydia' which ruins it for me

my thoughts

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

GIRLS:
Adrienne - pretty, I'd spell it Adrian even for a girl though.
Alayna - pretty, also how about Ilayna?
Alyna (pronounced A-LEEN-A) -I don't like this one as much, don't like the "y" instead of an "i"
Ameila - did you mean Amelia, if so very pretty
Anna - classic
Audrey -classic again, like Audrey Hepburn
Belle - too disney for me
Charlotte - I like this but it's not my style
Elizabeth - nice and not trendy
Felicity - reminds me of Felicity from Road to Avonlea and also the show "Felicity"
Grace - very pretty, a sweet name
Ivy - I wanted to name my future daughter this when I was 14
Jade - pretty but a little too popular lately for me
Jasmine -again too disney, unless you pronounce the "J" as a "Y"
Jessica -plain
Lillian -a little old ladyish
Lily - I like it with the one "l"
Lydia - alright, but not for me
Rose -sweet
Sadie -I really like this, it's such a lovely name
Serena -don't like this, make me think of anime for some reason
Talia -oh like the character in the Mercedes Lackey book...actually I like the name Athalia, which is similar, way better than Talia
Violet- really nice, I name I have strongly considered using in the past

BOYS:
Aiden - I like it better with a second "a" instead of "e"
Brent - a nice solid name
Caden -to me this is trendy and will not stand the test of time
Hayden -a great canadian musician, maybe as a middle name
James -classy
Jayden- alas now this is also trendy
Shayden - this seems like a made up name to me
Simon - not my style but a nice name

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i like amelia (i hope thats just a typo), anna, belle (its ok), charlotte, grace (popular though), ivy, lily, talia, and violet.

and for boys i only like simon.

whats with shayden? the newest addition to the -ayden families? i dont typically like any of the ayden names anyway (i used to like hayden, but thats been ruined by the trendiness of the ayden-ism of little boys everywhere) but shayden? thats the worst ive seen, yick.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

My mom knew this woman who had a son named Shayden, and she asked me if I liked it and I love it.

[sayga.livejournal.com]

besides the popular -aiden ending names (which i love the sound of but would never use myself due to their popularity), i like a lot of those. i don't see how alyna can make "aleena." i know someone with a daughter named Saryna (pronnounced sareena) and i always think of sar-uh-nuh every time i see it. y does not say ee in the middle of a word!

[depeche810.livejournal.com]

My favorites:
Ameila
Anna
Audrey
Charlotte
Felicity
Grace
Ivy
Jasmine

Sadie

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Adrienne - nms but fine
Alayna - much prefer the spelling Elena which looks a lot classier to me
Alyna - don't really care for it
Ameila - love
Anna - too plain for me
Audrey - nice
Belle - too cutesy-wutsy
Charlotte - ok
Elizabeth - too plain for me
Felicity - nice
Grace - completely sick of it, hate it.
Ivy - nice
Jade - don't really care for it.
Jasmine - pretty
Jessica - i've had bad luck with Jessicas. Dated and boring too.
Lillian, Lily - nms but fine. I'm not into the Lily names for some reason.
Lydia - nice
Rose - blah. I'd much prefer a more unique flower name. (Same as I'd prefer a bouquet of something other than roses. Boring.)
Sadie - nice
Serena - nice
Talia - love
Violet - nice

Aiden - this spelling is one of my biggest name pet peeves. Tired of it either way though.
Brent - don't care for it. seems dated and low-class to me (could be an association... I can't remember anyone though.)
Caden - my favorite of the -aden names.
Hayden - another -aden...
James - nice as a fn with no nn.
Jayden, Shayden - well, I guess you're firmly on the -aden boat. Me, not so much.
Simon - ok, has seemed a bit passive and meek to me though. But it beats and -aden name, honestly.

I only have comments about Alyna and Alayna. Why not Alina and Elena? They look much more sophisticated.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

Alina, looks like A-LYNN-A and Elena looks like ELLEN-A. But I have changed my mind about Alyna, and now I like it spelled Alena

[ghost-dance.livejournal.com]

Alena looks like ah-lay-nah or ah-leh-nah. Even Alyna looks like ah-lynn-ah. I think it's better to use the orignal spellings because you're going to have pronunciation problems either way, but at least most people know that Elena is eh-lay-nah and Alina is ah-lee-nah.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

Are you saying I am dumb for not knowing about this and that everybody else does? Besides I wouldn't spell Alayna like that anyway because I am not prounouncing like that, I am prounouncing it a-lane-nah, not eh-lay-nah. And I spell it how it's pronounced no let me refraise that how it should be prounounced, and it's not my fault my biological grandmother spell Alyna that way so yeah. And Alena does not look that all! Infact I know a woman who named her daughter that and spelled it Alena. I just like names that are spelled the way they should be prounounced. You probably know the name Lena, well and the letter A, so put that together and you get Alena. Get it now?

[ghost-dance.livejournal.com]

blah blah blah calm down. i'm not saying you have to listen to me, and i wasn't calling you stupid.

BOYS:

You like a lot of the en trendy names. I like Caden and Aiden :)

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

Actully where I live the en names aren't that trendy, or popular which is one of the reason I like them so much.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

I really like your names. My favorites are:

Anna, Belle, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Ivy, Lily, Rose, Serena, Violet
Aiden (spelled Aidan), Caden, Hayden, James, Jayden

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

The only girls names I like are Elizabeth and Serena. Serena was going to be our second daughter's name, but we changed our mind. The rest are too common/popular/trendy. I'm definitely not a fan of the -den trend with boys names. Shayden is just icky.

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

It's so nice to see Felicity on a list! Great name. I also love Simon.

[ships-sail.livejournal.com]

GIRLS:
Adrienne- love it.
Alayna- noooo.
Alyna (pronounced A-LEEN-A)- oh hell no.
Ameila- eh, kind of old fashioned, but solid..
Anna- love it. it's whimsical and classic at the same time.
Audrey- boring, but cute.
Belle- very cute, but more of a nickname.
Charlotte- i love the name charlotte. it's great.
Elizabeth- boring, but it's a good name.
Felicity- old fashioned.
Grace- classic, but kind of grandmotherly. a good middle name.
Ivy- i like it.
Jade- too 90's. over it.
Jasmine- nah.
Jessica- good. i like most people i meet named jessica.
Lillian- adore it. i love the name lily.
Lily- well, it is a nickname for lillian.
Lydia- i think of beetlejuice.
Rose- boring and outdated, though it is beautiful. a greawt middle name imo.
Sadie- interesting. it could work.
Serena- nah. too trendy.
Talia- i like it with a th- but no one will be able to spell it either way.
Violet- love it.

BOYS:
Aiden- good choice. i love aiden.
Brent- no. it's a bad combination between "bret" and "bent."
Caden- is this a name? def. no.
Hayden- trendy, but i like the sound of it.
James- traditional, strong and yet versatile. it's always a go.
Jayden- is this a name? no.
Shayden- eh, it's just kind of ugly.
Simon- kind of cute. it's quirky.

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

GIRLS:
Adrienne - pretty sounds; I grew up with an Adrienne so it seems less fresh to me than I think it does to most people
Alayna - the extra 'y' in there distracts me a little; I do like other spellings of this name (Elena)
Alyna (pronounced A-LEEN-A) - it's nice enough. I have an ancestor named Aline, and I've been quite taken with that lately.
Amelia - Pretty pretty.
Anna - I'm bored with it. A few years ago I'd have preferred it to Ann(e), but now I just lump it with Grace/Emily/Isabella/blahblahblah, and I think Ann actually sounds fresher.
Audrey - Cute.
Belle - What a big name to live up to! I think I could like it on the right person, but I see names like "Beautiful" on lapdogs more often than I do on people, so I have that association.
Charlotte - Love it, love it, love it.
Elizabeth - Oh, who doesn't find Elizabeth appealing?
Felicity - It's so fun to say! I love it.
Grace - I don't think I'm as bored with any name in the world as I am with Grace.
Ivy - Adore this.
Jade - I'm tired of this being pushed as the edgier alternative to Jane. It isn't edgy any more!
Jasmine - As I've grown up a little and gotten away from the Aladdin association, it's really grown on me.
Jessica - Pretty sounds, but so overdone that I don't even appreciate this name when I hear it.
Lillian - Some days I love it, but on other days it seems a little over-the-top to me.
Lily - I like it.
Lydia - Beautiful.
Rose - Pretty enough
Sadie - Cute as can be.
Serena - I've never been very into this one. I think of fantasy novels and cartoons.
Talia - I like it.
Violet - I LOVE it.

BOYS:
Aiden - Nice. I like the actor Aidan Quinn. Overdone lately, though, isn't it?
Brent - Something I only expected to see on men of my generation. Still a bit dated. Give it time.
Caden - Doesn't appeal to me at all.
Hayden - Ditto Caden.
James - Another run-of-the-mill, stock boy names. I don't even hear this name when I say it.
Jayden - Ditto Caden/Hayden.
Shayden - Definitely not my thing. Apparently it is lots of people's thing, so what I'd point out is do you want your kid to get lost in the shuffle of -aydens in his class? There are bound to be many boy and girl classmates of his named any possible consonant tacked onto those two syllables. (Braden, Vayden, etc.)
Simon - I love this name and would probably use it.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

Actully where I like the ayden names aren't that common, so that's why I like em so much.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

GIRLS:
Adrienne - love it
Alayna - pretty
Alyna - okay
Ameila - love it
Anna - don't like
Audrey - LOVE

Charlotte - okay
Elizabeth - love it
Felicity - love it
Grace - would love to see as a fn instead of a mn
Ivy - okay nms
Jade - don't like
Jasmine - love it
Jessica - like
Lillian - love
Lily - love, but better as a nn
Lydia - okay
Rose - see Grace :)
Sadie - only as a nn
Serena - okay
Talia - nms don't like

BOYS:
Aiden - eh too common
Brent - okay
Caden - hate
Hayden - hate
James - LOVE
Jayden - hate!
Shayden - omg. I'm sorry for being so blunt but this name makes me want to vomit.
Simon - cute

I don't like the -ayden names.

[k-t-bug.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! I can see now why you didn't like any of the boy names I posted the other day - totally different styles! I personally can't stand any of the -ayden names.

Your girls names are all very classic and pretty. I especially like Violet, but that's because it's my cute pup's name! :) For babies, I like Serena, Charlotte and Lillian.
