TU=Thumbs Up


TD=Thumbs Down





Bennett: A very cute name, I think the nickname Ben is also nice, it's becoming even as just a nickname because you can picture it on a person of any age. TU 8/10





Boy Connor: My brother's name, really cute and Irish sounding while still being masculine and appealing to a vast majority of people. TU 8/10





Boy Donovan: Not really a favorite of mine, it just doesn't have an appealing sound and I don't like the nicknames Don, Donnie etc. TD 4/10





Boy Gavin: Cute, an uncommon name that's still masculine and not unheard of, it's just the right balance of being different but having an old-fashioned flare. TU 7/10





Boy Jason: I've never been a huge fan of Jason, I don't love it, don't hate it, but I actually really love it's meaning. TU 5/10





Boy George: This name just rubs me the wrong way, it's old-fashioned but it doesn't suit my personal tastes. TD 3/10





Boy Keenan: This name isn't my style either, it sounds so awkward to me, I don't think it looks very masculine on paper either because it ends in -an but that's just my opinion. TD 3/10





Boy Leland: This name is okay, I've seen better but I've seen worse, it has a certain quality to the sound that I could see growing on me. TU 5/10





Boy Nathan: Cute, simple and classic. Very strong name. TU 7/10





Boy Nathaniel: Stunning, old-fashioned, masculine and less common than Nathan. TU 9/10





Boy Tanner: I prefer this as a surname, it just doesn't seem very masculine and makes me want to use it as a word. "Those tanners are so prone to getting skin cancer." That's just me being weird though. TD 4/10





Boy Weston: Love this name, I think Wesley seems a little more first/middle name like and Weston more like a surname but it's just adorable and Wes is nice too, I recently lost someone named Wes. TU 7/10





Girl Alaina: I'm a little uncertain about Elaina with an 'A' but it could work, I like other names spelled with 'A's that were's originally supposed to be, so I thought, why not. TU 5/10 (I like Alivia too :p)





Girl Annie: Great as a nickname but not so much a first name, it's cute though. You might want to try: Anne, Anna, Annabelle, Annabella, Anya, Annika etc. TU 5/10





Girl Brooklyn: I've never really liked place names and this one is pretty close to the top of the list of names I dislike. Sorry, it's just my preference. TD 1/10





Girl Clara: I love this name, it's surprisingly underused and much more fluid and feminine than Claire. TU 9/10 Stunning.





Girl Emma: Very cute name despite being so popular, it's very timeless and elegant. TU 9/10





Girl Emmeline: Love this name no matter how you pronounce it, it's so cute and flirty. Originally I pronounce it Emma-line which is old-fashioned and warm feeling but I also like is said Emma-leen or Emma-lynn TU 7/10





Girl Gloria: I don't really like this name, though it seems like it may be a family name, in which case more power to you, please use it. As is: TD 4/10





Girl Gwendolyn: This name has grown on me a lot lately I never used to like it but I think it's alright now. TU 5/10





Girl Jasmine: A trendy flower name that doesn't have the elegance of Rose, Lily, and others in my opinion. (Sorry just preference) TD 4/10





Girl Katherine: I like this name spelled better with a 'C' if you're using it as a first name because it looks softer but it's best with a K for a middle name to provide some food for thought. It's very strong, timeless and becoming. TU 7/10





Girl Kristen: I've never really liked any Kr/Chr names aside from Christine, sorry so say. They're just not my style. TD 4/10





Girl Kristie: Seems like a nickname, same reasoning as above TD 4/10





Girl Laney: I like this as a nickname for Alaina. TU 5/10 I also like it spelled Lainey





Girl Laura: Strong, old-fashioned and feminine. TU 6/10





Girl Leona: Cute name, it sounds Italian which I like. TU 5/10





Girl Lydia: Love this name, it's surprisingly uncommon, much like Clara but it's also gorgeous. TU 6/10





Girl Marcella: This name is okay, I don't love it, don't hate it, but it does remind me of Marsala (a type of wine) TU 5/10





Girl Melanie: I like this name, it's cute but not a favorite, this could also be a full name for Lainey or Laney TU 5.5/10





Girl Monica: Not really my style, I had a bad experience with a Monica growing up so it's effected my opinion of the name TD 3/10





Girl Noelle: Cute as a middle name, I like the meaning behind this name too TU 6/10





Girl Paige: I've never liked this name, just not my style. TD 4/10





Girl Shannon: Same as above, just never really liked it TD 4/10





Overall you've got some great names and some okay ones, it was a really nice list and I had fun rating the names. Sorry about the thumbs downs though.





Overall Favorite Names: Nathaniel %26amp; Clara


Overall Least Favorite Names: Keenan and Brooklyn


Good Name By Association: Weston (Will always have a soft spot in my heart for this one)


Bad Name By Association: Monica





Favorite Ideal Combinations: Clara Noelle and Nathaniel Leland
Reply:I voted!





Boys favorites:


Weston -- #1 favorite; solid, masculine, and not too common


Leland -- daring because it's so old-fashioned


Gavin -- love it, but I'm afraid it's too common


Bennett -- good "snappy" choice that sounds at home with modern names





Boys' least favorites:


Donovan -- I really should like this name (it suits my style and it was on my list for a while) but it sounds like someone who would try to seduce you. Weird, huh?


Tanner -- Too trendy


Keenan -- Makes me think of the Nickelodeon show "Keenan and Kell"





The others:


Nathan/Nathaniel -- good solid classics


Jason -- a little 80's sounding, but it fits in with current naming trends, so it could work


Connor -- it's a bit common, but I prefer it to Tanner since it has more history as a first name


George -- not as "in" as some other kingly names, but it works as a middle name





Girls' favorites:


Clara -- Love it! Simple, sweet, and underused.


Katherine -- Love it! Classic, elegant, and literary, but a bit more common than I'd like.


Gwendolen -- Love it! Distinctive and regal, but still familiar.


Lydia -- Great uncommon name; literary and biblical


Shannon -- This is a name I shouldn't like, but I really do! It's totally 80's and it was originally a boys' name, but I completely see it's sweet, feminine appeal. Weird, huh?





Girls' least favorites:


Alaina -- It's alright, but it's not very distinctive and has numerous spelling variations. It's one of those names that will blend in with many others and will constantly be misspelled.


Brooklyn -- Very trendy. If you like -lyn names, consider Rosalyn or Evelyn instead.


Kristie/Annie/Laney -- Cute nicknames, but put a more formal first name on the birth certificate. Some adults wouldn't mind being "Annie" in professional contexts, but many would.


Paige -- I'm just not into this one. It sounds too modern and masculine. If you like one syllable names, there are tons of more interesting options, like Blythe, Bliss, Lark, Wren, True, Eve, Maeve, and such.





The others:


The rest are good names, just not personal favorites. I tend to shy away from Emma because of its commonness, but I still like it.
Reply:Loved:


Bennett, Connor, Gavin, Jason, Nathan, Nathaniel (but I like Nathan better), and Weston


Alaina, Emma, Emmeline, Laura, Leona, and Noelle





Didn't like the rest of them.





Now, something to say about Annie. I love the nickname! I am like in love with the nickname Annie, but I don't think that a baby should be named Annie. Maybe Anne or Annabel or Annalee, something that has the nickname Annie rather than that just being her name.


Just a suggestion! :)
Reply:my favorite girl name on your list is Laura. It's pretty, classic, underused, and it's not pretentious.





My favorite boy name on your list is Donovan. I'm not sure why...my husband has a friend that I had only heard called Don...I thought his name was Donald. Then I found out that it was short for Donovan and somehow that name just really grew on me. Maybe 'cause I like the guy a lot, I dunno. It's really cute though!
Reply:From the ones I voted on (couldn't vote on all of them), I really like Nathaniel and Kristen.


I don't like Keenan or Gloria.





But, from your entire list I love Jason, Clara, Emma, Lydia, Marcella and Shannon.


Very nice list! =)
