Kenneth - I love Kenneth. It's a family name for me too. I don't care for Kenny much though.
Evan - One of my grandmother's is named Evelyn. How funny. Evan is ok. I really don't relate it to Evelyn though.
Asher - I don't care for Ash names. They make me think of cigarettes.
Hamish - I want to like this, but don't quite. I always want to say ham-ish rather than hay-mish.

Alexia - this is a kind of reading disorder. It's an inability to read. Not a name.
Alexis - Nms. I find it too 80s.
Georgia/Jorja - Nms but nice.
Leilani - Ditto
Millani nn Milla - Nice

Ditto on Alexia! An LD, not a name!!
And Alexis will always and forever remind me of a bitchy soap character from the 80s, too :)

I'm not crazy about the boys names. But I do know of someone who named their son Everett after a relative named Evelyn if you wanted something a little different from Evan.

As for the girls, I love Alexia/Alexa/Alexis. Pretty much all the variants on that name. And I love love love Leilani. I could never convince my fiance on that one, so I had to give up on it, but I think it's really gorgeous. Millani is pretty too, but I like Leilani more.

I like all your boys' names except Evan, which I find boring and wishy-washy.

Hamish is pretty darn awesome :)

I really like Georgia and Milla.
Is there an ethnic reason for the spelling Jorja? If not, please no :)

Also, Evelyn was originally a MALE name, so...


(just kidding, really. I wouldn't use it on a boy. It's even farther gone than Ashley ;) )

I adore Evan... but my name-to-be is Evans so.. Evan Evans isn't really viable... :(

Evan - my fiance's name is Evan, so I'm biased. He does have the problem of people calling him 'Ewan' all the time, but that's probably because his last name is McGregor lol.
Asher - One of my favourite names. My fiance doesn't like it though.
Hamish - this is a great name too. Do you have a Scottish/Welsh background?


I'm not really a fan of any of your girls names, but I love all your second names choices, especially Isabel.

second names chosen from Isabel, Rose, Grace, Maree

Georgia and Jorja aren't pronounced the same. Jorja is something like hor-ha.

I love both Evan and Asher... they are in my top ten for boys. Evan is number one right now. =]

I like Evan. Maree is my middle name, and I like it being spelled this way, even though most people misspell it as Marie. Haha sorry, this doesn't really add much to the thread...

I like Evan & Milla. Georgia is the name I'm using for my daughter (due in March) so obviously I love it. :)

Milla Grace
and I'd use Georgia Rose (which is my grandma's middle name) but my husband doesn't want to. :/
