TTC. I have a name list but I just feel sort of "eh" about everything on it. Any suggestions? I'm not a fan of super trendy cutesie names. I tend to lean towards names that are more traditional.



Girls:

Ashley
Ashlyn
Bella
Brenna
Jenna
Kate
Leah
Madelyn
Meghan
Mia
Samantha
Sarah

Boys:

Camden
Matthew
Timothy

Ashley - ::yawn::
Ashlyn - ::yawn::
Bella - Nice, but prefer Belle, or a -bella name. Bella reminds me of Bela, which reminds me of dracula.
Brenna - No.
Jenna - I actually really like this.
Kate - LOVE this!
Leah - Nice, but boring. But not boring in a bad way like Ashley.. boring in a non-standy-outy way
Madelyn - It's trendy, and spelled a million different ways, but it's nice.
Meghan - Like this.. especially with the H
Mia - Love this
Samantha Love this
Sarah - Love this too.

Nice list. =)

Kate, Bella and Brenna are really nice, and I like Sarah and Samantha, too.

Other suggestions that seem to fit your taste: Isabel/le, Isabella, Miranda, Lily, Alexandra, Christina, Gabrielle, Laurel, Jocelyn, Erin.

I love Matthew, am indifferent to Camden and don't like Timothy.

Cameron, Jeremy, Christian, Benjamin, Lucas.

I'm not good with girls names. I really like Camden though, it's on my list too.

the funny thing is, half your girls list is "super trendy cutesy" from about 20 years ago! (not very traditional...)
and camden I would put in that category now.

I knew a Maria and Ana Maria with the nickname Mia. Though I do think I like Mia better than those two..

Ava
Eva
Gemma

I like traditional names, too.

Sarah, Leah, and Mia, are all on my short list.

Sarah, Sara, Zara, Kara, Shara, Maia, Krystal, Sarina, Sarissa, Rosa, Karissa, Marissa, Marley, Leah, Mia, Mariel, Heidi, Saree

Ryan, Orion, Mark, Bryan, Alexander, Zander, Darius, Devon, Evan, Quinn, Elijah, Elias, Jason, David, Brandon, Nicholas, Aaron

I think we'll use Sarah Rose for a girl.
Boy's name undecided, but favorite for a long time was Ryan Alexander.

The names are kind of 'eh' to me.
In my opinion, traditional names would be names like Evelyn, or Dominique, Cora, Frances, Audrey, Katherine, Eleanor, Ella or Lillian.
