Donald - ew, though my college mascot is Donald Duck.

That's how I feel! My husband was this close to being a Donald. Ugh. Now he wants it as a middle name since Donald is his favorite Grandpa's name.

Kelly - I like this, although more for a boy.
Yeah, my sister is Kelly and she hates when we call her Kell because she's all like "That's a boy name!"

Elyse - I like Elise better, but it's nice You know, I didn't know anyone spelled it with an i until recently! My other sister is Elyse.

Kathleen (called Katie) - Don't like Kathleen at all. My new stepmom is Kathleen, but she goes by Kathy. That's my name and I'm not all that fond of it because everyone always wants to call me Kathy and I HATE the name Kathy! My mom started calling me Katie when she knew she was pregnant (good thing I was a girl) and thought it wouldn't be a proper first name, so I got Kathleen.

I do like Katie and Kate a lot. :)

I like Eleanor and Julia.

Eleanor was my grandma and her mom was Julia:)

favs
Kathleen - if I had a daughter named Kathleen, I'd probably use Kat as a nn
Lenee
Catherine -
Patrick
Jamie - either for a guy or girl
Jack - one of my favorite boy names!
Julia
Mark

I like Jack too, but my 6 year old cousin is Jack. So if we ever had a boy, I'd really like Sean (Irish for John). My sister "called" Sean though so we might just go with John! I think we'll have a good few years to think about it.

Kathleen (called Katie)- hate it.
William- hate
Kelly - hate-
Elyse love. im not so sure about the spelling though, is it from a different country or just the y's in there for the sake of it? Maybe i do like the spellnig.. i dont know.

Timothy - hate
Lenèe- hmm i dont know is that male or female? Like renee with an l. it's quite cool.
Mary- dont like, it's my middle name. i wont be using it.

Julia- like
Phillip- prince...awww
Sharon- hate
Janice- HATE reminds me of janice from friends OH MY GOOOD
Gerald- hate
Mark- meh maybe
Dawn- i like the idea of it...

Elyse is French for Elizabeth. I actually never saw it spelled with an i until recently. It's like Elyse Keaton from Family Ties.

Lenèe is like Renee with a L. I don't like it. I like Renee though. My husband's parents couldn't agree on the name for their second kid. His mom wanted Lenea or something and his dad wanted Renee, so this is the compromise.

"Janice- HATE reminds me of janice from friends OH MY GOOOD" LOL! I didn't think of that!
