Just curious, is Camden a boy or a girl?

Okay then. I like Camden, it's actually on my list if we ever have another boy. I also like Jude, but I couldn't use it, it just wouldn't work with our last name. Most of those names are decent, some could be spelled better, and I just don't understand Chiara. Tyler is actually a unisex name, but it's used more often for boys. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't name my girl Tyler, but I wouldn't name my boy that either. It is my nephew's middle name, his first is Jeffery, but he only goes by Tyler.

I've got to agree, Tyler was overused in the 90s. My nephew was born in '91 (I think, I'm horrible with these things.) I really dislike the name Madison, I prefer Madeline, but that's also overused. :(

Chelsie - is this like Kelsey or Chelsea?
Chiara (pronounced KEY-etta) - I'm ok on the "key" but "etta?" Wha??
Leo (nn Norm??) - Well, that's a shame. I love Leo WAY more than Norm (fat guy on a barstool anyone?)


Pretty good list overall.

I see Norm and at first I think Cheers and then I think of Norman, the calf from City Slickers.

Yeah, go for it! I've got to warn you though, my life hasn't been all that interesting lately, but hopefully it won't be this boring for long. :P

I kind of like Wesley. I don't know why; it's totally not my style.

wow a lot of these names are really great. some are vomit worthy, but i am surprised at how many i like!

such as: wesley, rhett, delaney, dillon, luke, kathleen, albert, and camden (one of my favorite towns in maine but i like it and it lends itself nicely to a good nickname, cam)

How could you possibly get "KEY-etta" out of Chiara? There is no T sound there. I could see going between "KEY-ra" and "KEY-ah-ra", but huh? Not a fan of Braeden or Lawson, either.

regarding Chiara (one of my favorite names) - it sounds like a Spanish or Italian pronunciation. they dont have pirate rrrrrrrr's if just a single r is in the name.

it's still an r sound but you just touch the tip of your tongue lightly behind your front teeth when making it, it sounds more like a t to English-speakers
