I used to go to school with a girl named Katana (kuh TAN uh).

yes, this is pronounced the same way.

Snow White and L'Oreal? Yikes. Blade and Katana - swords FTW! Poor Autumnsbreeze.

(also, hello ewanspotter's friend!)

Oh, hey, hi! = )

Lamb and Dayspring? Autumnsbreeze? Alrighty...

This list makes me POSITIVE that no matter what I name my baby, it will NOT be even close to as bad as this. Though I have to stick up for Canyon because honestly it was at one point The Name I wanted for my boy...honestly, I still love it.

I like Canyon, too. I included it mainly because he's the only Canyon I've ever met and most people go, "Oh... that's.... interesting" when they hear it.

It's still on my 'short list' for a boy [particularly the combination of Canyon Asher], but whenever I bring it up to people, they snarl their noses like I just suggested L'Oreal or something lol. I love it though; I think it's gorgeous. Like River but not as over-used. Glad to see someone else out there likes it.

Asher is one of my faves... I approve of your combo!

L'Oreal?!

bwahahaha my thought exactly.

Most of these are awful, but I love Aspen. But I am known for having slightly odd name choices. but... autumnsbreeze? Noooooo...

How about Autumn Breanna. Not the greatest but that way her NICK NAME could be "Autumn Breeze" which wouldn't be nearly as bad.

I was pretty much gonna say the same thing: I hate most of these, but Aspen is pretty.

L'Oreal lets hope she doesn't have a lil brother named Revlon
Aspen - cute
Dasha -a
Bonnie (m) for a boys name? why?
Jamaica - i went to school with a Jamaica
Snow White - please no
Canyon - kinda nice
Echo - no
Clarry - like Clancy better
Blade - not really, no
Charmion - think of tp

Eve, Eden- i think these are really cute.

Mercy, Lamb, Dayspring - sure, wtf, no

Kason (m), Fox (m), Mandarin (f), Autumnsbreeze - ew, ok, hmm, omgno

Yay, D'Artagnan! So cool to see it used. I know someone who has a son by that name, too. It's really the only name I have anything to say about! :P

Where does it come from?

He's a character in The Three Musketeers. It's pronounced dar-TAN-yan.

OMG, L'Oreal.

I love Aspen.

LOL, I named a baby doll I had one time 'Jamaica'. Hahaha.

Eve and Eden is wayyy too biblical.

And .. I'm just going to stop there, because Lamb? Dayspring? Autumnsbreeze?!? My word.

I have to admit, some of those are on my list LOL (Mercy and Mad(d)en). Trinity, Fox and Echo are total GPs. Unfortunately Trinity is a polluted river nearby, Fox screams porn star and Echo....well the myth is just not something I want to name my kid after.

I like Eden. Mercy is okay, same with Echo.

D'Artagnan...how cool! I adore The Three Musketeers movies and book. D'Artagnan was my favorite character, so I kind of have a soft spot for it.
