Most of these names are pretty nice. However, I think Reslynn is really weird, and Joyanna sounds like a messed-up version of Joanna or Johanna.

Also, if you're looking for unique names, I wouldn't go with names that contain the -aid sound ;).
I really like Elijah and Ellie, and Julianna is nice too!

Other suggestions (quite a lot of J's):
Sophie
Jillian
Josephine (Josie)
Jelena (it's Russian)
Juliet
Joni
Geneva
Juna

I'm sorry I don't have to offer any boy names! I'm worse with those ;)

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

really, i LOVE Reslynn! it's one of my faves. and Joyanna. but to everyone their own. Elijah and Ellie would be good if I knew I were to only have a boy and girl lol, they are so cute together. Julianna has always been a fave. i do like Jillian a lott and Jelena is really pretty!

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

Well, if you really love Reslynn, you should definitely use it! =)

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

I feel like your plucking your favorites off the duggar's list. joyanna?

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

a few of them are from that list...but i like them. lol

[lorienellen.livejournal.com]

I like most of those names (which is rare b/c I'm picky too!), except I've sort of been turned off by Aiden and names that rhyme since they are SO POPULAR now.

I also prefer Josiah to Jessiah.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

yeahh...im back and forth with it. and Jossiah is good sounding.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I love Micah, Elijah, and Collin. Jedidah and Aiden are okay, though not my style. Jessiah, no offense, sounds like a girls' name like Jessie or Jessa or something. I love Jesse for a boy, but Jessiah is a bit much. But Micah, Elijah, and Collin (I prefer Colin with one l) would all be great names for a boy.

Jocelyn with one n (the extra n looks tacky), Julianna, or Ellie are all great names. Joyanna looks smooshed together -- Joy Anna would be okay, or Joanna, but Joyanna looks really weird. Jaden/Jayden/Jaiden is all boy to me and, like Jaeda, sounds super trendy and slightly trashy these days. Reslynn is pretty awful, too. But Jocelyn, Julianna, and Ellie are all great. Even Joyanna wouldn't be awful, though I think Joy Anna would be better.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

everyone dislikes Reslynn...but i jus am in love with it. And I loveee Jocelynn with two n's...gives it the umph i want.

[frost.livejournal.com]

I like Micah and Elijah, and kind of like Jaiden, but on a boy.
Okay: Aiden, Collin, Julianna, Ellie. (Ellie seems like a nickname...)
Neutral/Have no real opinion about: Jaeda. It kind of looks weird to me, though... =/
Hate: Jessiah, Jedidiah (I think this one is hideous), Joyanna, Reslynn.

[frost.livejournal.com]

Ah, I missed Jocelynn. I don't like it. Either way, I'd lose the extra N.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

Micah and Elijah are my faves! Reslynn is so my fave =/ I'm thinking ill use it cuz no1 else likes it so no1 else will use it haha

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Um, picking a name on the basis that no one else likes it... not a smart idea. Not many people want to go through life with a name that provokes an "ew" from every person they meet. I mean, if you talked about naming your child Poop, no one would like that. It sure doesn't make it a good idea for a name.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

i'm not picking it from that reason..i absolutely adore the name. i know of one other person with the name. perhaps they don't like the sound or the way it looks...i think it's a beautiful name all around.

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I am assuming you meant to use the word retarded instead of "reatrded". Either way, it is offensive and has no place on this blog.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

uhmm...excuse me? i don't find it offensive. i also hate how people freak out over "thats so gay". it's a term. chill out and get over it. im young, my lingo isn't going to sound like im 80. kay? good.

[fairly-contrary.livejournal.com]

Some of us (myself included) have friends and family members with disabilities. By using the term as an insult, you are being incredibly offensive. The same applies to gay.

I'm young. Probably younger than you are. If you think you have to be eighty to show your fellow human beings some common decency... well.

Of your names, I like Julianna, Micah and Collin. The rest sound trashy.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

my mother worked with people with disabilities, my best friend's brother has a diability and i have the utmost respect for them. to me, it's a term.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___heyvanity/]

It's ok if you don't find it offensive, but others do. And speaking with decency is not a sign of age, it's a sign of respect.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

at least you can speak your mind nicely. i'll try better next time to reread waht i post.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

I seriously can't tell if you're trolling or not, and I don't care enough to look any further into it. but you should probably grow up a bit and maybe learn how to spell.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

trolling? i don't even know what that means. and one...i'm grown up enough. and two i can spell but it's kinda hard with a kid hanging off of you, so i juss tyoe fast and as long as it's readable it's good to me.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

"as long as it's readable it's good to me" lol okay. I can type in perfectly comprehendible sentences with real words that are spelled correctly, even when I'm taking care of up to four children. also, if you were grown up enough you would understand the hurt implicated by saying things like "that's so gay" and "that's retarded", you might also understand that they're not "just terms". or maybe you just decency?

by the way, the spelling comment was about your names.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

just lack*

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

ohhh, and i can't type. right right. and wonderful for you, i'm still new to the whole mothering thing. there are tons of hurtful terms in this world, you don't see me whining about the ones that hurt me all the time. and none of the names are spelled wrong...they're spelling the way i want.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

Being new at mothering isn't a free pass to be insenstive and make an ass of yourself. I had my kid when I was young and I managed to act like a civil person and didn't make a total ass out of myself.
Just because you don't whine about things people say to you doesn't make it okay for people to say horrid things. And there is a small difference between you personally being offended and disparaging an entire group.

and spelling a name "the way you want" can still mean it's spelled wrong.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___heyvanity/]

Micah and Elijah are nice.

Jocelyn is nice, not Jocelynn. I also like Julianna. I like Ellie as a nickname.

Reslynn is cracking me up because it sounds just like Restylane (pronounce like Rest-a-lyn), which is a filler that has some of the same affects like botox and it helps reduce wrinkles.

Jaiden, Aiden, and Jaeda are terrible. Joyanna is pretty bad too in my opinion.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

thank you, those are my top 2 boy names. and Yeah my bff's bf saud Reslynn sounded like a drug haha.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

Jessiah - not a real name
Aiden - dislike this Anglicization
Collin - don't like two ls

Jocelynn - not spelled right
Julianna - prefer with one n
Jaiden - made up and a boy's name
Jaeda - not a real name
Reslynn - not a real name
Ellie - nickname

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

one, names being spelling right is in the high of the beholder...kinda how we have 3 ro 4 different spellings for ashley. and two Jaeda and Reslynn are real names.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

Not really. Ashley is the real spelling. Just telling it like it is, which I think you deserved after that post.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

deserved it? i love that i did nothing && i get attacked. it's people like this that i shake my head at. and they are real names, different spellings are the way parent's choose to make the name unique.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

If you're looking for unique names, throw Aiden and Ellie out the door this instant.

I like Micah, Elijah, and Collin (though I prefer Colin). Jedidiah sounds too much like a redneck punchline. I have never heard of Jessiah and I'm pretty sure it would get constantly mistaken for a girl's name.

I like Jocelynn (prefer 1 n), love Julianna. Jaiden is very much a boy name to me, Jaeda is too retarded, as you put it, but Jade is nice. Joyanna is okay, I guess, but very backwoodsy. I don't like Reslynn AT ALL.

If I was going to pick from your lists, I would go with Micah and Julianna.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

yeah i really should...i am unsure with Aiden, prolly won't ever use it but i like it. I love Ellie cuz if i knew i was only to have 2 kids a boy nd girl id name them Ellie and Elijah. Julianna has been a long since favorite. And noone likes Reslynn but I think I might use ti cuz it's my fave lol

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

i would really like to know how my names are made up and misspelled. i'm supposing every other variation of ashley is wrong too? and other names with new spellings. carly and karlee?

saying the names are ugly i find rude. those are valid names from valid people. and they are not misspalled. who cares if they are trendy? have you seen half the names in here? there are some uglyyyy ones.

[calorie-queen27.livejournal.com]

a valid name is one that is in current use and has been used on a few different occasions, correct? i can name you at least 5-10 people i have known/seen/heard of with any of the names on my list. and fyi...a lot of names today are ones that people made up

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I really like Micah, Elijah, Collin and Julianna. I am fine with the other boys' names too except I think Jessiah could be mistaken as a girls' name these days with the huge popularity of Jessica over the last few decades.

The girls' names are all fine to me too except Reslynn. I think I would be ok with it except for the fact that when I read it, I hear the word "wrestling".

Some more J names:

James, Joshua, Julian, Jacob, Jethro, Jeffrey, Jasper, Jude, Judah, Joseph, Jeremy, Jonathan

Juliet, Jade, Jane, Janine, Josie, Jasmine
