A task for all you awesome name finders

[ashadelic.livejournal.com]

Ok... As I've posted several times before, my top 3 names for girls are Caeslin Amari, Ainsley Brynn and Zoe Laine. A few people like these names, a few dont. That's not the question anyway=)

If you would, help me find some "less trendy/made up/popular-in-a-round-about-way" names I would love it.

Here's the criteria:

I generally don't like names in the top 100 (I know Zoe may be an exception). I don't like old sounding names (Vivian, Evelyn, Josephine, Grace). I tend to lean toward Gaelic names but am willing to move away from that.

The boy's names I love have also been split decisions for the community: Elijah Malachi (Which breaks my no top 100 preference again, but I love Elijah way too much to care) and Tidus Aaron (which I've been told looks made up, although it stems from the Biblical name Titus and we're just trying to keep our child from being called Tit-us every day of his junior high life). My new obsession (as of today) is Dathan, but I doubt I'll be able to convince my husband that it's a name worth considering.

Happy suggesting! (Please and thank you!--- also.. my apologies for all those stinkin parentheses.. I got a little side-note happy *grin*)

I like Cooper, Ezra and Zechariah. Micah is my husband's name, so it's a good name, but we're not into Jr's and stuff.

I like Delilah, Keelin, and Reese, but the only Reese I've ever actually known was a boy (besides knowing "of" Reese Witherspoon).
