What about using some of the more out-there names for middle names? That’d make your list shorter, without losing the names you love!

Personally, I’d remove these:
(putting the reasons under a blur, in case you don’t want to hear them!)
Averitt - It reminds me of “avarice” or “aquavit”… but I’m biased, because I’m not a fan of made-up names
[name_f]Brindle[/name_f] - It just doesn’t sound like a name to me
[name_u]Brighton[/name_u] - I know some other users on the site who do like his name, but as someone who’s lived in the UK I do find it quite silly if I’m being honest
[name_u]Cashmere[/name_u] - Better for scarves and jumpers, in my opinion
[name_u]Cobalt[/name_u] - It sounds quite masculine to me, I’d prefer it on a boy
[name_u]Cricket[/name_u] - I love this as a fun middle for combos, but I don’t think it works as a first
[name_f]Daytona[/name_f] - It just makes me think of the [name_u]Dayton[/name_u] agreement, so it reads as really political to me
Delaware - Similar to [name_u]Brighton[/name_u], I just find it kind of silly
[name_u]Denim[/name_u] - Like [name_u]Cashmere[/name_u], better for clothes than people
[name_u]Dynasty[/name_u] - I don’t really like the vibes of this one… It’s like naming your kid [name_f]Queen[/name_f] or [name_m]King[/name_m] to me. Also feels rather political
[name_u]Ireland[/name_u] - Same as the other places, although this is my least favourite, especially if you don’t have a strong connection to [name_u]Ireland[/name_u]
[name_u]Kansas[/name_u], [name_u]Monaco[/name_u], [name_u]Montana[/name_u], Tuscany, [name_u]Nevada[/name_u] - Again, place names that sound a bit odd and silly to me, especially if there isn’t a connection to them
[name_u]Keller[/name_u] - Too [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_u]Keller[/name_u]
[name_u]Kodiak[/name_u] - Reads as masculine to me
[name_f]Radiance[/name_f] - I know that radiance can be a positive word, but it’s too close to radiation for my liking
[name_u]Sequoia[/name_u] - [name_f]Pretty[/name_f], but odd if you don’t have [name_u]Cherokee[/name_u] heritage (I’m not sure if you do or not!)
[name_m]Slater[/name_m] / [name_u]Skipper[/name_u] / [name_u]Steele[/name_u] / [name_m]Suede[/name_m] - I can’t really imagine these on a person, but I’d prefer them on a boy either way
[name_u]Swayze[/name_u] - I just personally dislike the look of this one. It looks like the name of a soda brand more than a little kid’s name
[name_u]Troian[/name_u] - Like a Trojan horse? I find it strange as a name
[name_u]Windsor[/name_u] - Too obvious a reference to the [name_f]British[/name_f] monarchy for my tastes

What I’d cut:

[name_u]Cashmere[/name_u] - a bit too like cashmere sweaters
[name_u]Chapel[/name_u] - maybe a bit too overtly, unescapably religious for me personally, but also ‘Chap’
[name_f]Daytona[/name_f] - a bit too much like a beauty product?
[name_u]Denim[/name_u]- I wouldn’t want to be called [name_u]Denim[/name_u].
[name_u]Dynasty[/name_u] - that’s a heavy thing to carry, also contains ‘nasty’
[name_m]Hartford[/name_m] - heavy to me
Joyner - too painter/decorator
[name_u]Reynolds[/name_u] - reminds me of raynauds syndrome
[name_m]Slater[/name_m] - like ‘slating’
[name_u]Steele[/name_u] - very harsh
Sutherland - same as above
[name_u]Timber[/name_u] - TIMMMMMBERRR would def be shouted at her where I am
[name_u]Troian[/name_u] - you know when a name just gives you the icks?
[name_u]Yardley[/name_u] - harsh
[name_u]York[/name_u] - Yorkie, Yorkshire - just not vibing

and to balance out the negativity: I love [name_u]Brighton[/name_u], [name_u]Clancy[/name_u], [name_f]Charm[/name_f], [name_u]Flannery[/name_u], [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], [name_u]Garnet[/name_u], [name_u]Kestrel[/name_u], [name_u]Lotus[/name_u], [name_u]Merritt[/name_u], [name_u]Zenith[/name_u]
