Date: 2010-12-09 10:04 pm (UTC)- 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.

Date: 2010-12-09 11:16 pm (UTC)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. ♥
