i have never come across "freedom" before, that's interesting.

and i don't like tanner or mika, but that's only because i have personal vendettas against two people with those names.

I really like Taegan and Tristan.

I'm curious why you respelled Arabella, since it's not so common that most people would respell it to make it more "unique". I think that if you used the traditional spelling, you could still get the nickname Ari out of it (if you wanted to use that nickname), plus she wouldn't always have to be correcting the way people spelled it.

*Lana - Very pretty.
*Aribella - Like it, but prefer the spelling Arabella.
*Taylor - nms.
*Lacey - nms and kind of has a "stripper" stigma with it for me.
*Tatem - I've only known boys named this, spelled Tatum.
*Talia - Very pretty, love it.
*Charity - Has the same trashy vibe as Lacey for me.
*Hannah - Nice and classic.
*Harmony - Again with the stripper vibes, lol.
*Mika - Is this prn. mee-ka? I like it.
*Teagan - Don't like.
*Freedom - Hate it. I don't like patriotic names.
*Summer - Like.
*Anastasia - Okay.

*Parker - Okay.
*Zander (Xander) - Used to like it but it's gaining popularity.
*Cohen - My best friend's dog's name, so I can't picture it on a person, lol.
*Tanner - Like.
*Thatcher - Eh, just okay.
*Nash - Noooo.
*Todd - Seems like a nickname even though I know it's not.. nms.
*Tristan - I see this a lot lately.. nms either though.
*Keagan - too trendy for my taste.

I like Lana & Hannah
and
Parker * Tristan
:)

[hygher.livejournal.com]

I like Hannah, Xander, Tanner, Thatcher (as a middle name) and Keagan.

[dancing-crazy.livejournal.com]

I like Talia a lot, more and more lately, but I prefer it spelled Thalia. It seems more complete to me, and it also translates to Hebrew to mean "praise God" (תהל יה); without the H it translates to טליה, like 'dew' (which is also pretty). Mika is my favourite Hebrew girls name. Cohen and Nash are really nice (I've always secretly loved the name Nash) and I don't mind Parker, Tanner and Thatcher as well. My top picks would be Talia and Mika for girls and Nash and Cohen for boys.

*Zander (Xander)
*Cohen
*Thatcher
*Todd

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Lana, Talia, Hannah, Teagan and Tristan.

I have never seen someone have Cohen as a first name and I find it a little odd, as being a Kohain is something you have to be born into.

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

*Lana - Pretty. I knew a little girl named Lana when I was small. She was from Hawaii and I thought she was the coolest thing ever.
*Aribella - I much prefer Ariella.
*Taylor - Too masculine. I have a female cousin named Taylor, but I still don't like it.
*Lacey - Never cared for it for some reason, despite having a friend by the name.
*Tatem - Usually spelled Tatum I believe. Makes me think of 'taters.
*Talia - Gorgeous. This and Lana are by far my favorites on your girl list.
*Charity - Yuck
*Hannah - Way too common. It's definitely top 10, maybe top 5.
*Harmony - Well, better than Charity anyway.
*Mika - Nice
*Teagan - Ok
*Freedom - Too much
*Summer - Lovely. I love this one too.
*Anastasia - Pretty, but I don't like the nn options.

*Parker - Too trendy/unisex.
*Zander (Xander) - Makes me think of dander. And then danderuff.
*Cohen - Nice
*Tanner - Did you see the post about occupation names a couple days ago?
*Thatcher - Ditto.
*Nash - Makes me think of someone gnashing their teeth.
*Todd - Ok but rather dated.
*Tristan - Can't stand it. Seems to be a huge chart-climber. Just makes me think "sad."
*Keagan - More of a girl's name these days.


I like Talia, Lana, Summer and Cohen.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

*Lana - pretty
*Aribella - Arabella is okay, I don't like Aribella
*Taylor - don't like for a girl
*Lacey - too cutesy and childish
*Tatem - Tatum is okay
*Talia - pretty
*Charity - don't like
*Hannah - okay
*Harmony - don't like
*Mika - as in Meek-uh or Mike-uh? either way, not a fan
*Teagan - okay, sounds trendy though
*Freedom - no way
*Summer - okay but nms
*Anastasia - LOVE

*Parker - okay
*Zander (Xander) - WAY too nicknamey and childish
*Cohen - surname, trendy, blah.
*Tanner - okay
*Thatcher - don't like
*Nash - don't like

I guess I'd pick Anastasia and Tanner or Todd from your list
