I really like Alexander but as the poster said above, Sasha is not my favorite nn for it.

Henry, Nicholas, and Oliver are three of my favorite names ever!

Charlotte "Charlie" - My bf's grandfather's name was Charles so he wants us to name our first son Charles/Charlie, but I adore the name Charlotte with the nn Charlie for a girl as well.

Eleanor-I've never been fond of this name, though I like the nickname Ellie. It just sounds like an old lady name for me.

Felicity - Guilty pleasure name! Love.

LOL, I have to do this in two parts because LJ told me it was too long to post!

Alexander "Sasha" - nice strong name, love the nn... I'm so tired of Alex!
Arthur - alright
Asher - eh, kinda hipster
August - nice, it's earthy but refined at the same time
Callum - like, very flannel-shirt-wearing
Caleb - a bit bland to me
Calvin - not a huge fan, it's a bit stuffy
Colin - like, very friendly
Gabriel - meh, a little blah
Garrett - okay, but I can't get over how it sounds like carrot
Graham - love, such a huggable name
Henry - love it, very handsome and regal
Jeremiah - don't hate, but only because of a character in a book. Because I dislike Jerem- and -iah, so yeah!
Jonas - alright, but also a little too... I wear a white undershirt for a t-shirt and play guitar and need a haircut.
Levi - okay, but it seems too youthful and only makes me think of jeans
Louis - love, and with either pronunciation.
Max - nice enough, it's kind and straight to the point
Miles - like, it's very intelligent
Morgan - I used to love this, but now it's down to like. I just got bored of it, I think.
Nathaniel - okay, it's a bit generic
Nicholas - love, very nice and scientific. Plus it's my husband's fn and son's mn. :)
Oliver - like, especially with nn Noll
Sage - not my style, too wordy
Samuel - loved this for a long time, but I got bored with it. Still a nice, cuddly name, though.
Thomas - like a lot, very classic and strong

Adah - looks strange to me with the -h, but totally an adorable name nonetheless
Anna - not really a fan, but I LOVE Anne. My #2 girl's name.
Audrey - nice, very dark and alluring
Catherine "Cate" or "Cat" - love it, prefer Cate b/w those nns
Charlotte "Charlie"? - very fresh, sweet name, but not convinced on Charlie as a nn. It would work if your Charlotte was an upbeat, athletic girl, I think. I just started liking Lottie as a nn, even though I didn't used to.
Cecily - nah, it's too incomplete and it annoys me for no other real reason. I'd rather see Cecilia. Plus the character in The Importance of Being Earnest is kind of obnoxious. :P
Eleanor - love it, wanted to use it but wouldn't anymore (but not for lack of liking it). I love Nora as a nn, but Nell is very sentimental, too.
Elizabeth "Lizzie" or "Ellie" or "Beth"? - Love it, my #4/5 name. Can't get much more classic, and it's so fresh and open and white. I'd rather see Lizzie or Beth, Ellie is too cutesy-trendy. But all three are nice. My favorite is Nell, and I also like Libby and Bess.
Eve "Evie" - Evie is totally adorable, but I don't really like Eve. It's obnoxious to me, and I actually think it's because Eve = Eden = an annoying girl I went to high school with! Silly.
Felicity - nice, I used to think it was frilly and prissy and disliked it, but for awhile now I've found it to be stronger, and it's a pleasant light yellow, but not washed out.
Imogen - nice, though a bit posh
Ivy - really like, I get a wonderful image from it that would take an entire paragraph to describe. Which I can, if you'd like. :)
Jane "Janie" - very sophisticated and literary, and cute nn
Juliet - like, very musical and burgundy, and like a smooth red wine being poured into a glass. Good associations, too.
Kasia - I've never seen this before. *looks it up* Ah, it's okay. Not a huge fan of the sound, and would rather see it as a nn, maybe.
Lauren - nice, very girl-next-door-y
Lavender - ehhh, it's sickeningly sweet, I'm afraid. And I'm not a huge fan of the smell. :P
Leah - dislike, don't like the sound and I've never met a Leah who wasn't one of the most annoying people ever.
Linden - ?? This is a boy's name. I was about to say, yay, very handsome and gentle and businessy, then remembered I was in the girl's list. :(
Louisa - very pretty and bright, with a sense of humor
Lydia - nice, it's quiet and dark
Madeline - like, very elegant
Margaret "Meg" - my absolute favorite #1 name of all-time! We plan to name our first daughter this. I could gush about it forever, so I won't. Meg is a very nice nn, and I'd use it except that we decided we couldn't not think of the Family Guy character. So my tops are Mae and Mamie, though I do like Margo and Greta. And DH likes Maggie.
May - love! So fresh and springy and caring and gorgeous.
Mia - okay, it has a nice exotic thing going on
Susannah - like, it's sweet and cute and light blue and prairie-girl-y. Like the folksong, too! How cool would it be to have your name in a folksong?
Tamsin - alright. I want to like this more, but I just can't. I think the sound is too masculine.

OK my thoughts...

Boys:
Alexander "Sasha" - I have always thought of Sasha as a girl's name, even though in Russian it's indeed masculine. I think you could try to nickname Alexander Sasha, but kids and teaches will revert to Alex automatically. Sasha isn't going to happen!
Arthur - meh...I always think of the PBS cartoon when I hear that name.
Asher - coole, but maybe a bit trendy?
August - Nope
Callum - Nope
Caleb - OK
Calvin - Nope
Colin - Probably my favorite boy name EVER
Gabriel - classic, people are going to call him Gabe, just so you know :)
Garrett - Eh...maybe it's just because I haven't met a nice Garret, but it doesn't thrill me...
Graham - I always think of senator Lindesy Graham!
Henry - Another classic...I guess this depends on your last name. I'm not a fan because it seems sort of plain, but it's a matter of taste, really
Jeremiah - Ok, not crazy about it
Jonas - I think w/ the Jonas brothers this will be very, very trendy in about 10 years when the teeny boppers start cranking out kids
Levi - Ok
Louis - Ok
Max - I'd say Maxwell with Max as a nn
Miles - I dig it! Like Miles Davis
Morgan - I always see this as a girl's name
Nathaniel - AWESOME, I am considering this & Caleb if I have a boy!
Nicholas - Good
Oliver - Eh...depends on the last name. Could be great, or the kid could hate you for it
Sage - Another one that I think of as a girl...I would use it for a girl but def. not for a boy!
Samuel - Another classic name, I like it
Thomas - Kind of plain, but still ok

Girls:

Adah - Nope
Anna - Ok
Audrey - Little trendy, I think
Catherine "Cate" or "Cat" - I like Cat...some of my favorite people are named Cat!
Charlotte "Charlie"? - I love Charlotte, but not necessarily Charlie
Cecily - Nope
Eleanor - Nope
Elizabeth "Lizzie" or "Ellie" or "Beth"? - Great, great name
Eve "Evie" - Like in V for Vendetta?
Felicity - Nah.
Imogen - Like Imogen Heap? I think a little girl probably wouldn't like this one!
Ivy - <3
Jane "Janie" - sort of plain
Juliet - I'd say Julia instead, I've never like Juliet
Kasia - how is this pronounced?
Lauren - I'm partial to this one :-D As a Lauren myself, I've never had any troubles with it, and it's not so common that I'm always around six other Laurens
Lavender - nah...I'd say Laurel maybe if you're going for a flower name
Leah - kind of a plain name, again
Linden - really uncommon, but I like it a lot
Louisa - Another one of those old fashioned names, I don't meet a lot of Louisas so if you're looking for something unique but still 'normal' this is a good one
Lydia - A little catty-sounding, like Cruella DeVille or something haha - but that's just my gut reaction and probably unfair!
Madeline - I LOVE IT!
Margaret "Meg" - or Megan
May - So, so pretty!
Mia - cool. I knew a girl named Mia (pronounced it Meeyah) and she was awesome.
Susannah - Nah...
Tamsin - Also a nope
