BOYS
TOP 3
Nathaniel Jayne
John William
Connor James
(I also love the names Reese, Thomas and Michael.)

I like Alison Sophia-Wren (Sophia-Wren sounds a lot like Sophia Loren). I like Lillian Marguerite either way. I do not like Haley. I'm sick of that name, but Olivia is nice. I also REALLY dislike Logan and Cameron for a girl.

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.

Lillian Marguerite is lovely and classy. Not a fan of Haley but I like the spelling and it sounds nice with Olivia. Sophia-Wren is pretty. I prefer Allison with two Ls, and Logan and Cameron for boys.

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

I like Allison Sophia...not sure about the Wren on the end of it though. Lillian Marguerite and Haley Olivia are nice. Abigail is alright, but I don't like Logan or Cameron for girls...especially since I know a Logan and Cameron and they're both male.

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.

Not a fan of Jayne for a boy, but the reason for it is nice enough, I suppose. also, don't like Logan and Cameron for a girl - especially Logan.

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

I love the girls' names overall. i like nathaniel jayne for some reason, i think it just sounds nice i just hope that long term your son could appreciate the middle name.

Alison and Haley are both bleh to me. Lillian/Lilly are way too popular right now too. I love all your middle names though. Logan and Cameron are, and always will be boys names ONLY (to me). Abigail is as popular as Lillian here.

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).

I dislike Alison, Lillian, and Haley. Olivia and Marguerite...I'm on the fence about. I love Sophia; Sophia-Wren makes me think of Sophia Loren.
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).

Willow_reece! I recognize you from your writing on a certain community homophonous to a form of precipitation. ;)

- 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.

MAJOR props for spelling Alison with one L, because that is, in my not-so-objective opinion, the best way to spell it. :P

Hello, fellow North Carolinian!

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.

Sophia-Wren? I would just go with one - Alison Sophia. I like Lillian and I love Olivia, it's one of my top choices for a baby girl. I also really love Abigail and I like Logan on girls.

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.
