love bodhi and augustus for boys and daisy, zelda and callista for girls. overall there are very few i dislike so your list is great in my opinion!

thanks! i really like zelda but i am worried about teasing. i wasn't a big fan of the game, i just like the name. my newborn niece is named zoey and my SIL wants us to use a Z name if we have a girl which i'm not opposed to, so zelda is my favorite. anyway, i appreciate your compliment! a lot of people gimme a hard time because my style's kinda different compared to many of the people i know /:

I always liked Zinnia and Zillah for Z names.
I want to mention Azariah too, seeing as you've a lot of biblical names on your list, and it has a strong Z sound in it.

I love some of the names you agree on, like Eliza, Roman, Nathaniel and Julian. I really dislike Danika, Canyon and Bodhi but Daisy is ok.

Otherwise, I love Zelda, Callista, Ezekiel, Conrad, Rhys, Asher and Ezra.

I like: Alexandra, Charlotte
I really dislike: Danika, Cambria
Daisy is okay, but it makes me think of a four year old. (I don't like Josie, but it also makes me think of a child.)

I like: Benjamin, Charlie (as a nickname, but I don't care for Charles)
I kind of like: Ezekiel, Roman, Nathaniel, Spencer, Julian, August
I really dislike: Conrad, Canyon (the Grand Canyon flashes in my head every time I read this, haha), Bodhi, Tucker (I keep thinking Trucker)

I prefer the spelling Lila, to Lyla. I really like Danika, but it's not a name I've thought about before really. I love Eliza and Charlotte. Daisy is cute, but doesn't age so well. I love Levi, but only on boys, really.

You have most of my favourite boys names on your list: Gregory, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Judah, Asher, August, Ezra.
Roman is a good name too, as is Julian, and Ezekiel growing on me.
Canyon does nothing for me, personally.
I've toyed with Rhys, but even though I like how it looks, after a while of thinking it over I find myself singing "Rice rice rice" over and over to myself. Could be todo with the whole "It's nearly 5am" thing. But who knows.

I remember you posting on here about Levi Daisy, which I think is fab, plus I LOVE Charlotte and Josie. For boys, I like:

Zane
Conrad
Gregory
Rhys (especially spelled this way... thanks to the Witherspoon, Reese will always feel girly)
Asher
Julian
Tucker
Ezra

Roman, Nathaniel and Julian are all on my list, so needless to say I love those! Ezra, Rhys, Judah and Asher are nice, too.

Of the girls' names, I like Danika and Lila.

The rest is all ok. Basically, the only ones I really don't like are Spencer (for either gender), Zane, Ezekiel and Bodhi.

I have a Roman :) My only "complaint" is people are always asking..."RoNan? RoWan?" I thought I would never have to spell the name out, but I do all of the time!!

yea, the reason i love Ezekiel so much is because of the nn Zeke. But i live in the deep south so i wonder if the cuteness would be mistaken for hillbilly-ishness. NOT saying everyone in the deep south is a hillbilly but that is the stereotype people get, ya know. Like if i named him Cletus or something like that lol. regardless i still love the name.

Oh man, you have one of my top favourite boys names here and one of my LEAST favourites.

I ADORE Judah and it's absolutely the plan if I have a son(or Deacon), while Canyon is probably the boys name I hate the most. I just don't get the appeal. It doesn't look good, it doesn't sound good, wtf I just don't get why people like it. I'd laugh if I met a kid with that name.

Other than that, I pretty much like all your choices, haha.
