Hm, so I'm mostly just curious what people think of these names. They are my top picks for any future children I might have. ♥
GIRLS
TOP 3
Alison Sophia-Wren
Lillian Marguerite
Haley Olivia
(I also love the names Abigail, Logan and Cameron.)
BOYS
TOP 3
Nathaniel Jayne
John William
Connor James
(I also love the names Reese, Thomas and Michael.)

I like Nathaniel but I DO NOT like Jayne for a male. John William is nice, but very generic... I think William John would even be better. Connor James is very nice! I prefer Rhys to Reese and I also really like Thomas. Michael is ok in my opinion.

I like your male names, especially if that's a Firefly reference. : ) Not a fan of Reese though.

I don't like Jayne for a boy, but since its after a character you love, then I'm alright with it. John William and Connor James are nice.

The Alison Sophia-Wren came from me not being able to choose between Alison Sophia or Alison Wren--so I combined them and really liked the way it sounded.

The other names are nice. Connor James and Lillian Marguerite are my favorite.

I have never been a big fan of Nathaniel. I like John William though, and I actually know a Konner James (terrible butchering, I know).

0_o Conner with a K just looks a little funny to me, but to each there own. XD
And I'm really attached to Alison, I just think it's pretty.
no subject
I definitely prefer Logan and Cameron on boys. In general, I find Logan really ugly (and masculine).
Abigail is okay, though it makes me think of a toddler (it doesn't age well, for me).
I like Nathaniel well enough, but...I'm not really feeling Jayne. The character love makes it a little better, but...keep in mind, your son may not share it. ^^
John, William, Thomas, and Michael are all okay, if a little bland. I'm neutral about Reese (this is the spelling I prefer; I've never seen Rhys in real life and I can't get used to it, haha).
no subject
That is true, and part of the reason why I choose to use it as a middle name instead of a first like I originally wanted too. XD
I tend to veer away from the more out there names for boys; John, William, Thomas and Michael are all very old names that have been around for a very long time.
Rhys is the Welsh spelling. (I think; don't quote me. I'd look it up but I'm too lazy. LoL.) I generally prefer Reese or Reece. ♥

- Alison Sophia-Wren looks really pretty, although I do have a little bit of an issue with how Sophia flows into Wren a bit, sounding more like sohFEE uhREN. I think that's solved by me mentally removing the hyphen and making it two names so I put more of a pause between the two.
- Lillian Marguerite sounds really fantastic, despite me not being a huge fan of either name individually.
- Haley Olivia also sounds good, but I do have a little bit of trouble picturing Haley on an adult since it's a bit on the cutesy side, you know?
- I don't care for Abigail. Logan is definitely a boy's name in my book, but it's not my style either way. I dislike Cameron for OCD reasons so my opinion on it doesn't count much. I will say it seems more masculine to me, although T:TSCC did make me almost not dislike it and that was on a girl.
- I am absolutely in love with Nathaniel Jayne. I think Nathaniel is a lovely name. I adore the nickname Nate--just throwing that out there. Thaniel is okay too. Anyway, pretty cool to see someone considering using Jayne on a boy. I always laugh a bit to myself when I see that spelling on girls because Jayne is the epitome of masculinity. LOL
- John William is a bit bland, as I think someone else already said, but both names are nice and there's nothing really wrong with it. It does remind me of composer John Williams (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones and much, much more). His music is pretty awesome so that's not exactly a bad thing.
- I like both Connor and James, but I'm not too keen on them together for some reason.
- I like Rhys but don't care for Reece very much. I'm not sure why. Thomas and Michael are fine names.

Hm, not attached to the hyphen, as Alison Sophia Wren looks good too.
XD Been attached to the name Lillian forever and Marguerite was my grandmothers name.
It is a bit cutesy, but if she doesn't like it she can always use Olivia, which absolutely translates into adult-hood.
I like the name Abigail mostly because I adore the nickname Abbey. T;TSCC is where I fell in love with the name Cameron. I had liked it before, but the character really made me like it even more. Logan is just one of those weird names I'm attached too, if I use it, it will most likely be as a middle name.
Nate is my favorite nickname for Nathaniel! Not really into Thaniel. Well, I love the name/and character so very much. I actually wanted to go with Jayne Nathaniel, but everyone always tells me that if I name my son that I had better also put him in self-defense classes very early on. =/
Hm, forgot about that association. Not really bad like you said.
My other choice for a middle name with Connor was Joseph; it's my brother's name.
I originally grew attached to Reese as a girls name but ended up liking it better for a boy. Meh. ♥

Nathaniel and Connor are both in my top 5, so very nice!
I have a soft spot for Lillian Marguerite...my great-grandmother was a Lillian, and my grandmother was a Margaret. I think they go quite well together.
Alison Sophia-Wren is cute, too...I'm just not a fan of the hyphen.
no subject
Thank You!!
I'm still debating on the hyphen; I think I might just get rid of it. Either way, the name still works. ♥
no subject
Sophia
Lillian Marguerite
Haley Olivia (but prefer Hayley)
Abigail Nathaniel
John William

I HATE:

Cameron - on a girl
Jayne - on a boy

I like Nathaniel (but not Jayne for a boy - I feel like despite the Joss Whedon reference, he'll always be teased when people find out his middle name, and they will), John William, and Connor James.

You're the first, and quite possibly the only person, to have that opinion besides myself. ♥
