I like Juliet and Hazel.

I've never been a Mae fan. Laurel sounds too nature-y for me. I have nothing against Willa or Faye; they just aren't my style.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

I love Faye and Juilet, I really don't like the others.

If you like Willa why not Willow?

[hygher.livejournal.com]

I like Laurel and Juliet. Willa is okay.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Willa - it's been growing on me
Faye - Dunaway. I think of it as an old lady name
Juliet - LOVE.
Hazel - Eh.
Laurel - No. Bad associations with a Lauren and it's too close.
Mae - West. Love it.

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

Love Juliet and love Mae. I would use Mae as a middle name, but I adore Juliet.

[pap3r-heart.livejournal.com]

I <3:
Hazel
Laurel

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

I adore the name Mae. It's my little sister's middle name so if I ever use it it would have significance, but I just love the sound of it!

[knitcole22.livejournal.com]

Mae & Juliet = <3
The only one that i dont like is Laurel, but i knew a laurel once and she was a bitch....so i have a name aversion haha.

[geeki.livejournal.com]

I love juliet.

[yourethedancer.livejournal.com]

I love all those names and also your icon.

[quixocado.livejournal.com]

First of all, I love your icon. Second of all, the only one I really liked was Juliet, but... someone named that has DUN ME RONG and since then I've ceased to like it at all.

thanks

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Willow too, I just like Willa more cos it's less common.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Willa has been growing on me as well, it's not a name I thought of at all until recently.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

now the tricky part is seeing if the fiance likes them at all :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

aww your sister has a cool name!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

lol, I know all about name aversions.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

One of the kids at the school in which I work recently got a new baby sister. I was excited when I heard they named her Juliet, until I found out they used the Italian spelling so it's Giuliette

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

lol oh no, mean people should not be allowed to have pretty names!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Willa Mae is pretty but it's kind of "country" sounding to me, which wouldn't necessarily be bad except fiance has a quite Jewish last name.

[prettyandpink06.livejournal.com]

I love Laurel

[prettyandpink06.livejournal.com]

Is that so bad? I mean my husband has a spanish last name, and we've pretty much decided on all irish/ hebrew names. Never mind, I just thought of the name Willa Mae Abromowitz, lol.

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

I like Laurel and Mae.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

Willa: Sounds to masculine to me for some reason.. I associate it with William I guess.
Faye: Love this.
Juliet: Classicly pretty, but starting to be overdone.
Hazel: I like it as a middle name.
Laurel: Not my style.
Mae: Love it as both a first and middle.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Willa - I love this name. It's so much better than Willow
Faye - very pretty
Juliet - love it
Hazel - looooooooooooooooooove so so so much. Def my fave on your list
Laurel - pretty but I do prefer Lauren
Mae - pretty, simple, and classy.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I love Willa and I hate Willow. Willow doesn't seem like a name to me and it sounds too much like pillow.

[lastcastle.livejournal.com]

I like Willa, Mae, and Juliet a lot. Mae is really cute, I'd love to see someone with this as a first name (or May). Laurel is fine, and Faye is a bit dated for me but could work with the right middle name. I hate Hazel. Ugly.

[geeki.livejournal.com]

Considering I married into a very italian family I actually prefer that spelling :)

And it goes well with out last name.

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

Willa - i prefer Willow, Willa sounds incomplete to me

Faye - Love this. I know two 4 year olds with this name, but they're the only Faye's i know, soit's not overly common here (UK). Another name which sounds similar is Freya (pro. Fray-uh), i actually like this more than Faye.

Juliet - I think this is cute as long as u dont use the nn julie.

Hazel - kind of 'eh' to me

Laurel - I don't like it. I prefer Lauren

Mae - i like this :)

My fave from your list is Faye =) Good luck!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

lol, yeah you see what I mean

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I've always thought it was lovely.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input! :)

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

Willa -- Not really my style, but okay.
Faye -- I don't like it.
Juliet -- LOVE
Hazel -- Also love.
Laurel -- Very pretty.
Mae -- I don't like it.

[velvetheart.livejournal.com]

Willa: it's ok.. but I prefer Willow (my daughter's name) and it's not that common it hasn't hit the top 500 in the US, so that's less that 500 kids per year with it.

Faye: Makes me think of Tammy Faye Baker, so ew.

Juliet: I like it

Hazel: It's a tree name (which I love) but the name itself makes me think of someone's grandma baking pies.. lol

Laurel: another tree name! I love it but my BF already said no if our #2 is a girl.
Mae: it's ok, but again.. sounds like an old lady.

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Willa - I like it. I like Willow too but I think they're both a little too "hippyish" for me to use.
Faye - I don't really like it.
Juliet - Pretty
Hazel - Blah. Liked this when I was a kid but not anymore.
Laurel - It sounds too much like Lauren and every Lauren I've ever known has been a total bitch.
Mae - Love this as a middle name, maybe not so much as a first.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input, too bad my fiance nixed all of the names!
pickiest man ever!
Right now I'm trying to sell him on Sophie and Hannah.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks, and I wouldn't use the nick name Julie either.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Willow as well but I know that my fiance won't say yes to it, I thought he might say yes to Willa. Alas, he nixed all the names. He is really picky.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

wow everyone seems to have known alot of bitchy Laurens!

[velvetheart.livejournal.com]

With Willow it was so easy, I've wanted to use that name since I was 13 years old (I had her at 28) and he just loved the name, we didn't even bother thinking of others. BUT, this time I suggested literally hundreds of names and he hated everything - so I told him to suggest some.. he suggested about 5 and I hated those.. lol

About a month ago I thought of a name, looked up the meaning and the popularity and it hasn't been in the top 1000 since 1994. So, of course, I'm not telling anyone what it is.. lol

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Lol! I noticed that too!
