These are my personal favourites from the list (fifteen for each gender). Interestingly, the list also includes a couple of nameberry favourites for girls - [name]Orchid[/name] and, to a lesser extent, [name]Queenie[/name]. Good luck to the children given these monikers…

To me, the ok names – [name]Ace[/name], [name]Jagger[/name], [name]Jazzy[/name], Monalisa, [name]Orchid[/name], Oasis, [name]Queenie[/name], Starlit, [name]Tigerlily[/name], [name]Bond[/name], Crusoe, [name]Mowgli[/name]. If I loved one, I’d actually consider it for a middle spot. But some, I wonder … I’d hate to be named Excel or Espn or Google or Hippo. Especially Hippo.

A lot of those names are laugable (Shoog!!!) and I think [name]Orchid[/name] and [name]Queenie[/name] aren’t that bad for girls. Leeloo is nice sounding, though [name]Lilou[/name] is much prettier. Is it bad that I like the name Cobain for a boy? It’s mostly due to the fact I’m a huge [name]Nirvana[/name] fan, but I really do like how Cobain sounds. Maybe if it becomes more mainstream I’d consider naming it to my future son… but as for now it’s a guilty pleasure ;_;

Admire sounds pretty, but is quite crazy
