[name]Season[/name] 1: 2009
[name]Bentley[/name] [name]Cadence[/name] - Nay. I don’t like [name]Bentley[/name], and don’t understand what [name]Cadence[/name] is doing in a boy’s name
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Laurent[/name] - Yay. I personally dislike [name]Sophia[/name] for its popularity, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s a pretty name for a little girl
[name]Leah[/name] [name]Leann[/name] - NAY. facepalm this is ridiculous.
[name]Jocelyn[/name] [name]Jade[/name] (now has a younger sister named [name]Jayda[/name] [name]Jewel[/name]) Yay - Nothing is misspelled really, I like [name]Jocelyn[/name] and [name]Jade[/name]. Not a bad name at all.
[name]Weston[/name] [name]Owen[/name] - Nay. I really dislike the double n’s in the name. Not a fan of [name]Weston[/name] on its own, either. [name]Owen[/name] is nice.
[name]Carolyn[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] “[name]Carly[/name]” - YAY. [name]Baby[/name] naming done right, though I prefer [name]Caroline[/name]. The nickname is cute, too, though I’m a sucker for a good nickname.
[name]Season[/name] 2A: 2010
[name]Jace[/name] Vahn - Yay. I like [name]Jace[/name], and although I question Vahn a bit, it’s not a bad name at all.
[name]Lyle[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] - Yay. Very cute, actually. I enjoy both [name]Lyle[/name] and [name]Thomas[/name].
[name]Nevaeh[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] - NAY. I think I just threw up a little. Despise both [name]Nevaeh[/name], and [name]Lynn[/name], the latter because it is so overused in the middle.
[name]Aubree[/name] [name]Skye[/name] - Yay. I likey [name]Aubrey[/name] (prefer [name]Aubrey[/name], but that’s beside the point) and [name]Skye[/name] is a great middle
[name]Aiden[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] - Neutral. not a fan of [name]Aiden[/name] (too popular nowadays), but [name]Elliot[/name] is nice in the middle.
[name]Jordynn[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - Nay. Despite how glorious [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Marie[/name] is, [name]Jordynn[/name] just butchers the entire name. A y and two n’s? Really??
Aliannah [name]Hope[/name] & [name]Aleeah[/name] [name]Grace[/name] (now have a younger sister named [name]Adalynn[/name] [name]Faith[/name]) - NAY. Besides the nice middles, these names are just letter vomit to me.
[name]Summer[/name] [name]Jayde[/name] - YAY. Although I dislike the y in [name]Jade[/name], This combo is beautiful. I adore [name]Summer[/name], and [name]Jade[/name] makes a great middle.
[name]Isaac[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] - Yay. [name]Isaac[/name] is very nice, as is [name]Elliot[/name]. A very good name for a little boy.
[name]Season[/name] 2B: 2010
[name]Brody[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] - Nay. I really don’t like [name]Brody[/name]. Could be worse though. (see [name]Leah[/name] [name]Leann[/name])
[name]Genesis[/name] [name]Alexa[/name] - Yay. I prefer other [name]Gen[/name]- names over [name]Genesis[/name], but this combo is still admirable.
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Allen[/name] - Yay. [name]Liam[/name] is nice, and [name]Allen[/name] is too. 'Nough said.
Za’Karia Sanari - NAY. OMG. It’s like she sneezed when she signed the birth certificate. I just threw up a bit more, by the way.
[name]Austin[/name] [name]Carter[/name] - Yay. Two solid names, both suitable for a little boy in any lifestyle. Well done.
[name]Destiny[/name] [name]Brianna[/name] - Nay. I have issues with [name]Destiny[/name], and [name]Brianna[/name] does nothing for me either.
[name]Rylan[/name] [name]Jayce[/name] - Nay. It’s not awful, but I question the uninvited y in [name]Jayce[/name], and wish [name]Ryan[/name] had been used instead.
[name]Blake[/name] [name]Ray[/name] - Yay. I like [name]Blake[/name]! [name]Ray[/name] is nothing special, but [name]Blake[/name] is a distinguished name choice.
[name]Callie[/name] [name]Danielle[/name] - Yay. Despite my preference of a formal name with nn [name]Callie[/name], [name]Callie[/name] [name]Danielle[/name] is not a bad choice by a long shot.
[name]Season[/name] 3: 2011
[name]Noah[/name] [name]James[/name] - Neutral. [name]Noah[/name] is too popular for my taste, as is [name]James[/name] as a mn, but it’s fine.
[name]Joshua[/name] [name]Jr[/name] & [name]Noah[/name] [name]Matthew[/name] - Nay. If I were a twin, I wouldn’t want to be handed down Dad’s name while my twin got his own shiny new moniker. Not tragic, though.
[name]Miah[/name] [name]Christine[/name] - Uh… Honestly, I don’t know how to say this. [name]Maya[/name] or [name]Mia[/name]? If it were spelled normally, it would be splendid.
[name]Jamie[/name] [name]Paul[/name] ([name]Jr[/name].) - Yay. I never liked the idea of a [name]Jr[/name]. (personally), but the name is just fine.
[name]Kylee[/name] [name]Sue[/name] - Nay. Really have a problem with [name]Sue[/name] as a mn, and [name]Kylee[/name] is nothing great, especially spelled this way.
[name]Preston[/name] [name]Michael[/name] - Yay. All around a decent name. No complaints here.
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Jairo[/name] - Yay. [name]Henry[/name] is definitely respectable, and although I have never heard [name]Jairo[/name], I think it’s a unique middle for a classic first.
[name]Kay[/name]'den [name]Elijah[/name] - NAY. Good grief, are you kidding me? [name]Elijah[/name] is golden, and I could maybe handle [name]Kayden[/name], but and apostrophe? facepalm
[name]Aubri[/name] [name]Rose[/name] - Yay. Overlooking the odd spelling of [name]Aubrey[/name], and trite mn [name]Rose[/name], it’s a fine name.
[name]Aydenn[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] - NAY. I dislike [name]Aidan[/name], but this is just pathetic. Nothing wrong with [name]Anthony[/name], though.
[name]Season[/name] 4: 2012
[name]Gannon[/name] [name]Dewayne[/name] - Neutral. I really dislike [name]Dewayne[/name], but having confirmed that [name]Gannon[/name] is an actual (Irish!) name, I respect that.
[name]Molli[/name] J - NAY. Against [name]Molli[/name], and really confused about the J. She really just has a middle initial?
[name]Nova[/name] [name]Star[/name] - Yay. It’s a little corny, but [name]Nova[/name] is a cute name, and [name]Star[/name] is a spunky middle. So I excuse the corniness for the most part.
[name]Aniyah[/name] [name]Monroe[/name] - Nay. I can get on board with [name]Monroe[/name], but [name]Aniyah[/name] is…not good.
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] - YAY. Beautiful! A little long, but lovely nonethless. I am genuinely impressed!
[name]Chase[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] - YAY. Wow, two great ones in a row. [name]Chase[/name] is solid, as is [name]Alexander[/name] in the middle, making for a great name.
[name]Kaylee[/name] [name]Michelle[/name] - Neutral. I have never been a fan of [name]Kaylee[/name] at all, although [name]Michelle[/name] is a fine choice in the middle.
[name]Tristan[/name] [name]Blaise[/name] - Yay. Not bad at all - [name]Tristan[/name] is relatively uncommon, and I adore [name]Blaise[/name].
Tinleigh [name]Louise[/name] - NAY. What the heck is a Tinleigh?? shudders
[name]Audrey[/name] Animi - Nay. [name]Audrey[/name] is okay (personal associations influence my opinion negatively) but I question Animi. It doesn’t sound bad, but just…odd.
[name]Landon[/name] [name]Levy[/name] - Yay. [name]Both[/name] nice names, though I am not sure if [name]Levy[/name] is prn like [name]Levi[/name], or lev-ee.
[name]Lukas[/name] [name]Todd[/name] - Neutral. [name]Both[/name] decent names, but nothing spectacular.
Wow this took me a long time. Counting it up, I have 22 yays, 17 nays, 5 neutrals, and 1 ?. I’m surprised I liked so many. I think I had really low expectations.
