Ray Lee Jane is very choppy and seems to be a female name consisting of one strictly male spelling and one unisex (but I see it as more male) spelling. I don't like it at all. I think it should be Rae Leigh Jane, although I dislike both Rae and Leigh. Actually, I suppose it is possible that Jane is a family surname and Ray is, in fact, a male.
Apollonia has such a neat sound to it! It's not anything I would ever use though.
Interesting to see London on a boy. I think I like it better like that. I wonder if his sibling Jordan is a girl or boy.

I have a feeling it should be Raylee, Raylie, Rayleigh---one of those "aylee/aylie/ayleigh" names. And the child is a girl.

I like Apollonia, but it reminds me of a joke I once read about nuns getting to choose their own names: "If I got to choose, do you think I'd pick Sister Apollonia?"

They didn't say if Jordan was a boy or girl. I prefer London on a girl and Landon on a boy.

I was wondering if the two were actually both considered her "first" name. Saying it as Raylee Jane flows much better, but I still don't like it.

I agree. That looks better and Jane is a really good middle name, but Raylee is too cutesy.

Paiton Lea (Hayleigh, Chloey)

Really?

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I raised an eyebrow at that one, too.

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

I loved London, I was going to use it on a boy at the time. Everybody told me it sounded more like a girl's name though and I dropped it. I too thought Apollonia was neat, but wouldn't use it myself.

The Abraham Joseph one made me giggle because it's my brother's name, only backwards.
