i've never known how to pronounce "cheyenne"..is it like shane?

[ellycopter.livejournal.com]

oh and, i've always thought of keegan as a boy's name. but that's only because i have a friend named keegan who is most definitely male. same with nikolai, it reminds me of either a small russian boy (on a video game i used to play) and also of this russian-chinese builder guy with that name. but that's just my opinion :]

i do like the name alexander. but with an x. but then again that name is slightly tainted. cause it's my ex's name. haha.

Shy-ann =)

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

shy-anne

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

It's usually like Shyanne I'd say, but I've known someone who said it more like Shy-enn. (As in the word Shy, then saying the letter N).

Cheyenne Rebecca - Pretty, like it.
Nikolai Michelle - Nikolai sounds masculine to me.
Keegan Elizabeth - Keegan = boy's name.

Peyton Orville - Not my style.
Alessander Martin - Not a fan of Alessander.. just looks like Alexander mispelled.
Liam Jeffrey - Love it.

Nikolai is a male name. I don't care what the Hiltons did. It's ridiculous to misappropriate a name from another language like that.

A similar thing goes for Cheyenne, but it's not as obvious because that name's gone mainstream. But the meaning, from behindthename.com, is:
"Derived from the Dakota word shahiyena meaning "unintelligible speakers". This is the name of a Native American people who lived on the Great Plains."

Yeah.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.
As a Russophile of sorts it really bugs me when those names get pillaged (take it almost as personally as when names from my own heritage fall victim). Appropriating of Native American culture is an issue too because it just screams 'white priviledge'.

That and it just strikes me as really tacky to use 'exotic' names for pretty much the hell of it.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Pillaged - a very apt way of expressing it.

[ashadelic.livejournal.com]

I pretty much agree with what's already been posted. Nikolai's a male name, Keegan's a male name. I would like Alexander Martin, Alessander seems more feminine to me-- dont know why but, I really like Alessandra and Alessandria, but not Alessander.

Really really like Liam Jeffrey.

Cheyenne Rebecca - Sounds pretty, but I'm not a fan of Rebecca. I love Cheyenne, though
Nikolai Michelle - I see Nikolai and/or any other variation on spelling as a boys name. I don't care for it on a girl. If your set on using it, the names do sound nice together, though..
Keegan Elizabeth - Exact same deal as above.

Peyton Orville - I love Payton, I'm not so sure about Orville. I think popcorn...
Alessander Martin This one I like, though I perfer Alexander, personally
Liam Jeffrey - I LOVE LOVE LOVE Liam. It sounds nice with Jeffery, too :)

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

Cheyenne Rebecca - don't like it
Nikolai Michelle - Change it to Nikolai Michael and it is a wonderful boy's name
Keegan Elizabeth - eh

Peyton Orville - I think of Peyton as a girls name and I dont' like Orville (its popcorn)
Alessander Martin - okay
Liam Jeffrey - Liam is nms, but this name is great...I'd say its the best one on your list

"Can you sign my bread for me? Peyton, P-E-Y"

I love Peyton Manning, so I love the name. Some people like it for girls, but you can't get any more masculine than a famous football player, so you're ok.

[hitzpink.livejournal.com]

The only one I like is Liam Jeffrey.

[mrsnelson.livejournal.com]

ditto

[cassandrakfreaq.livejournal.com]

agreed

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Keegan Elizabeth.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Not a big fan of any of the girl names, except maybe Keegan Elizabeth. I like Keegan and Elizabeth but I'm not sure if I like them together.

I love the name Liam. :D

[stars-are-fire.livejournal.com]

Cheyenne Rebecca- I like it
Nikolai Michelle- for a girl? it's pretty masculine, but then thats only because all the Nicks I know were a male
Keegan Elizabeth- Love Elizabeth, but Keegan is masculine as well

Peyton Orville - Peyton Elizabeth would be nice for a girl. I like Peyton, not sure about Orville, it reminds me of Orville Redenbacker, the famour popcorn dude. I hate that I associate names with people that I know of that have the same names! grr!
Alessander Martin - like it
Liam Jeffrey - this is my favorite one

[arbus.livejournal.com]

nikolai and keegan are boys names, to me.

and peyton is more of a girls name, again to me, even though i dont like it for either.

liam is really really great!!

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Cheyenne Rebecca - i hate cheyenne. i think its grossly disrespectful and trendy and annoying. along with dakota.
Nikolai Michelle - i like nikolai a lot, but not with michelle.
Keegan Elizabeth - yuuuuuck! keegan is a surname and NOT feminine at all. i don't think it's acceptable for a girl at all!

Peyton Orville - tons of little girls are being named peyton (which is awful on either sex, imo) and i think any boy would have a rough time pulling this off.
Alessander Martin - i don't like the sound of alessander. it's too soft. alexander is much better.
Liam Jeffrey - liam is okay, but i prefer it as a nn for william. it just seems incomplete on its own.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Cheyenne Rebecca - "Cheyenne" is such a trashy sounding name IMO.. I like "Rebecca" though.
Nikolai Michelle - I agree that this is a boys name...
Keegan Elizabeth - Keegan is also a boys name IMO

Peyton Orville - I love Peyton for a girl... Orville is popcorn.
Alessander Martin - I like Alexander way better
Liam Jeffrey - Best name on your list, no question.

[oh-snitch.livejournal.com]

I only like Nikolai Michelle out of the girls and Liam Jeffrey out of the boys...the rest are...an acquired taste. :]

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

Keegan and Nikolai are boys' names. Nicola is prettier anyway, IMO. Cheyenne, as has been detailed above, pretty much screams, "I am a white girl with no sense of historical perspective!!" Elizabeth and Rebecca are quite pretty - Michelle is a bit dated.

What about Nicola Elizabeth?

I like all of the boys' names, Orville and Martin particularly.

[special-girl.livejournal.com]

I like the name Cheyenne, I think it is very classy & pretty! :)

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Girls names -- I like all the middle names ok, don't like any of the first names.

Guys names -- Orville?!?! Is it just me or does that sound exactly like "awful"?
Liam is nice, don't like others.

[xnaivetex.livejournal.com]

Cheyenne is a nation, not a name. It's pretty disrespectful. Using the name will just make you look stupid and wannabe trendy.

I don't like any of your names besides Liam Jeffrey, and even then I think Liam could have a lot better middle name then that.
