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.

Ooh Lily. I'd never really given it much thought but I think I like it.

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.

Hihi! ;)

Ashley - nms (I knew lots of snotty Ashley's growing up.)
Ashlyn - eh
Bella - eh
Brenna - bad connections to this name as well, but I still like it.
Jenna - I like this one.
Kate - Like this one too.
Leah - eh
Madelyn - eh (too popular these days)
Meghan - LOVE it. This is actually one of the names on my list.
Mia - eh. Don't love it, don't hate it.
Samantha - eh. Ditto.
Sarah - eh. Ditto.

Boys:

Camden - I actually worked with a girl with this name. Never thought of it as a boy's name.
Matthew - Good strong name.
Timothy - Ditto. :)

I didn't know you were in this community. Hi! :)

I have a bad Brenna connection to but I still can't get over liking it.

Girls:

Ashley - Boring. Know about 50 Ashleys.
Ashlyn - Boring still.
Bella - Pretty, although I would prefer something like Anabella and use this as a nickname.
Brenna - No.
Jenna - I like it. It's my niece's name.
Kate - Classic and nice.
Leah - Hmm.. nah.
Madelyn - It's okie.
Meghan - Know about a million of these. I don't like the way it's spelled either.
Mia - I like it but prefer it as a nickname.
Samantha - Don't like at all.
Sarah - Pretty but overused.

Boys:

Camden - Kinda like.
Matthew - Another one of those overly used names.
Timothy - Don't like at all.

What name would you use to have Mia as a nickname?

I'm gonna chime in here and say Amelia! :)

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

I really like Brenna. We have Brena our list (prounounced: bren-ya). I also like Gwenna.

I love Kate, Mia and Brenna

Brenna's my name!! Haha.

But yeah...

Ashley - yuck
Ashlyn - A bit better than Ashley
Bella - okay
Jenna - nice
Kate - nice
Leah - like
Madelyn - too trendy
Meghan - okay
Mia - like
Samantha - okay
Sarah - way too popular

Boys:

Camden - like
Matthew - like
Timothy - okay

Mia is more of a nn to me, maybe for Amelia. I like Kate and Brenna. Leah is nice. I prefer Megan and Madeleine to MEghan and Madelyn, though, but your choice.

Other names you might like:

Ashton
Brenda
Brynn
Britta
Gaia
Ava
Eva
Gemma

Oh, and I love Matthew, even though it's popular. It's my brother's name, but I just love the sound.

I like Brynn. Thanks for the suggestions!

I only like Leah out of your list....

But what about...
Abigail
Amelia
Anna
Audrey
Aurelia
Ava
Bethany
Brianna
Bridget
Charlotte
Elizabeth
Felicity
Faye
Gabrielle
Grace
Hannah
Ivy
Jasmine
Jessica
Juliet
Lily/Lilliana/Lillia
Natalie
Ophelia
Sadie
Serena

Elliott
Owen
Nathaniel
Andrew
James
Simon
Lucas
Caleb
Hadrian

I like traditional names, too.

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

What else is on your 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.
