Girls-
Ava
Aeryn*
Caidence
Caithlynne
Daphne
Gabrielle (Brie)- I like Brie more than Gabrielle. I would personally go for Gabriella.
Honor-Neat name. I still expect to see a 'u'(canadian spelling) so it looks unfinished ot me.
Jayne-I prefer Jane, but maybe thats cause thats how my step-mom spells it so Im used to it.
Kelleigh-Love the name, hate the spelling lol
Leigh-I like it for a middle name..
Lillian (Lily)-LOVEEEE Lily.
Lynleigh or Linley-Neat, I like the second spelling.
Maura-I know a very awesome lady named Maura. I dont love the sound but I still like the name.
Melody
Nicolette
Olivia
Pandora-I like the sound, but it reminds me of a downtown street where I live.
Tana (pronounced Tan-uh)
Teagan (pronounced Tee-gan)-I associate it with Tegan & Sara-perhaps why I love it (prefer Tegan though)
Violette

I love love love the name Caidence. But alas, my husband refuses to use it because he is a percussionist and he thinks it would be like naming his child Tympani or mallet. =\ If it werent for the drum association in our family, I would totally use that name! =)

I also love Fiona and Teagan.

For the boy's list:
I don't like Eagan, but I love Deagan. I also really like Rohan. A close friend of mine growing up had a little sister named Rhyder so that name has a female association for me.

I've met a girl named Tympani. Makes me cringe...

You have some very weird spellings, i think they're pretty awful.
Haelie- I know Haylie can be spealt many different ways but this version just looks like you're trying too hard to be trendy.
Kelleigh- What's the point?
Alicyn- Again!?

[adamant-turtle.livejournal.com]

Re: weird spellings - I agree. I know everyone these days is trying to be "unique," but it's not too good for the child to have to go around explaining his/her name for the next 90 years, either. In the '80s, I grew up with people named Kelly, Haley and Jessica - NOT "Kelleigh," "Hayleigh," or "Jesyka" - and somehow those people lived, too :-/

The only "weird spellings" I think are acceptable are the ones that are derived from some other ethnicity. For instance, I'm Polish, and I prefer the Polish spellings of some names...like you listed "Amelia" as one of your favorites. The Polish version is "Emilia," which I think is prettier.

But of course, it's all a matter of personal preferance :-)

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I do also like Emilia, but then she might want to go by Em which I wouldnt like as i know too many Emily's & Emmas :-)
Amelia is my favourite name!
