Help Me Sort Out My Crushes?

Girl Names
1

Disclaimer: Not TTC, just experimenting. I’m fully aware my taste is unconventional, trendy and a few of the names I like are considered generally horrid on this site particularly, but I’m hoping y’all can look past that.

I’ve got a list of favourites currently, and one of crushes that are currently kind of, in limbo. I’m not quite sure whether or not I should keep them or bin them, but I’m hoping to get some feedback that’ll help.

PLEASE ONLY comment on the names on the “Crushes” list! I’m not looking for responses about how much you hate Irelyn, how you’d feel sorry for my poor [name_f]Brylee[/name_f], how I look stupid for liking [name_f]Journee[/name_f], etc etc. If it’s on my favourites, I’m not asking for opinions on it at this time.

Here is my favourites list, for reference;

[name_u]Sailor[/name_u], [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_u]Alexis[/name_u], [name_f]Journey[/name_f]/[name_f]Journee[/name_f], [name_u]Presley[/name_u], [name_u]Addison[/name_u], [name_f]Adalynn[/name_f], [name_f]Aubree[/name_f], [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]/[name_f]Hadleigh[/name_f], [name_u]Peyton[/name_u], [name_f]Zoey[/name_f], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_u]Rylee[/name_u], Rylynn, [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_f]Cambrie[/name_f], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_f]Everleigh[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_u]Jersey[/name_u], [name_u]Britton[/name_u], [name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_f]Aubriella[/name_f], [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Brylee[/name_f], [name_u]Delainey[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], Irelyn, [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_u]Skylar[/name_u], [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f], [name_u]Reese[/name_u].

And these are my crushes;

[name_u]McKinley[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_u]Collins[/name_u]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_u]Tate[/name_u] ([name_u]Tatum[/name_u] is off the table)
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Baylor[/name_u] ([name_u]Bailey[/name_u] is out)
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u]
[name_u]Lexi[/name_u]
[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]
[name_u]Madison[/name_u]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u] (I know more girls with the name than boys, so it’s always felt more feminine to me)
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Callie[/name_f]
[name_u]Blakely[/name_u]
[name_f]McKenna[/name_f]
[name_m]Kensington[/name_m] “Kensie”
[name_u]London[/name_u]
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]
[name_f]Tinsley[/name_f]
[name_f]Tenley[/name_f]
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f]

Which crushes would you add to my list? Any other names you’d suggest?

Thanks! xo

[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]-really not my style, kinda tacky sounding and made up
[name_u]Lexi[/name_u]-cute as a nn but I’d prefer a full name. Maybe you’d like Lexington nn lexi? It’s similar to [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] in style
[name_u]Baylor[/name_u]-just not that pretty to me. I much prefer [name_u]Sailor[/name_u]

I will tell you which ones I like, and give feedback on the ones I don’t like as much.[b]

LexiNevaeh
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_u]Blakely[/name_u]
[name_f]Callie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tenley[/name_f]

Dislike:
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] - I grew up with so many [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]'s, this just feels plain and boring to me.
[name_u]Collins[/name_u] - I want to like this on a girl, but something is stopping me.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] - Idk why I’ve never liked this. It feels a bit too ‘goody-two-shoes’ but I’m not sure why. I love [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] though.
[name_u]Baylor[/name_u] - I don’t like this, the B sound is heavy and not feminine at all - I love [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] though.
[name_u]Logan[/name_u] - I can kind of see this on a girl, but I’d rather it on a boy.
[name_f]McKenna[/name_f] - This is a bit tacky imo
[name_m]Kensington[/name_m] “Kensie” - I like Kensie, it’s sweet. But [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] just doesn’t feel like a name, especially not on a girl.
[name_u]London[/name_u] - Could work, but nms.
[name_f]Tinsley[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Tenley[/name_f] and [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f], but not [name_f]Tinsley[/name_f]. It’s just too forced and made up.

From your crushes, I think these ones fit well:
[name_u]McKinley[/name_u] - has a nice ring to it
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] - fresh and feminine without being frilly
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] - more classic than your others but I feel like it has the same vibe
[name_u]Tate[/name_u] - I enjoy [name_u]Tate[/name_u] for a girl! It has a great sound
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] - more feminine and frilly than your other choices, but it’s pretty and gives the same vibe
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] - feels like it fits well and I’ve always found the sounds interesting
[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f] - probably controversial but I enjoy the sounds and flow of [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u] - it’s grown on me recently for girls. It has a sweet sound
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u] - love it, funky and interesting. Could have nn [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] too
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] - sweet and cheery, reminds me of options like [name_f]Leah[/name_f] and [name_f]Ava[/name_f] on your list
[name_u]London[/name_u] - one that’s grown on me - I like the sounds and the imagery
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] - love it! Cute but with a sharper element

Lucy, Sophia and Hannah could work too, and they’d make great mn options too

I’d suggest:
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]
[name_u]Keeley[/name_u]
Haddie
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
Liliana
Lilia
Esme
Ensley
Winslow
Windsor
Lorelei
Lennon
Navy
Sara
Myla

[name_u]McKinley[/name_u]: I want to like this but I just don’t like the “kin” sound
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]: cute but kind of plain imo
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]: lovely!
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]: love [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_u]Collins[/name_u]: I really like this though I worry the “s” will get forgotten easily
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]: I prefer [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] but [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is gorgeous too
[name_u]Tate[/name_u] ([name_u]Tatum[/name_u] is off the table): I prefer [name_u]Tate[/name_u] over [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] anyway, but I personally would use [name_u]Tate[/name_u] as a nn for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]: too frilly for me, but a nice name nonetheless
[name_u]Baylor[/name_u] ([name_u]Bailey[/name_u] is out): all male to me, though I’m not sure why given [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] and [name_u]Sailor[/name_u]/[name_u]Saylor[/name_u]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u]: knew a lovely [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] so I have positive associations
[name_u]Lexi[/name_u]: cute!
[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]: has a lovely sound but the fact that it’s heaven backwards is offputting
[name_u]Madison[/name_u]: despite the consensus on this site, I really like [name_u]Madison[/name_u]. I think it’s spunky and I love the nickname [name_f]Maddy[/name_f]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]: it brings to mind a really stocky guy so it’s pretty masculine to me. I have known several female Logans though
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]: this is more masculine to me. [name_m]Fin[/name_m] names just make me think of fish…
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u]: harsh sounding for my taste but I can see the appeal
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]: very common but actually one of my favorite names! It’s elegant and classy without being fussy or complicated, short but substantial
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]: sweet but a little boring
[name_f]Callie[/name_f]: I really want to like this and did for a long time, but I started watching [name_u]Grey[/name_u]'s Anatomy and I find the [name_f]Callie[/name_f] in that kind of annoying so now I don’t love this as much. Objectively, I prefer [name_f]Callie[/name_f], but [name_u]Cali[/name_u] removes the negative association for me
[name_u]Blakely[/name_u]: the repetitive “l” sounds makes it kind of a mouthful to me. I prefer [name_u]Blake[/name_u] alone
[name_f]McKenna[/name_f]: I like this but not a fan of “Mc” spellings. [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] is beautiful though
[name_m]Kensington[/name_m] “Kensie”: don’t like Kensie but [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] is nice
[name_u]London[/name_u]: cute!
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]: I like this a lot
[name_f]Tinsley[/name_f]: feels too much like tinsel
[name_f]Tenley[/name_f]: too cutesy for me
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f]: again, not a fan of “kin” sounds personally

I like most of them. The only ones I’d get rid of are [name_f]Aria[/name_f] , [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. Not that they’re bad just a bit of an outlier.

Keep:
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] - Such a sweet name, and reminds me of [name_f]Lily[/name_f] on your list. Popular, but not everywhere.
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] - This seems to perfectly fit your style.
[name_u]Collins[/name_u] - [name_u]Collins[/name_u] is so cool on a girl.
[name_u]Tate[/name_u] - I do prefer [name_u]Tatum[/name_u], but I also like [name_u]Tate[/name_u] on a boy or a girl.
[name_u]Finley[/name_u] - Fits your style and a little [name_m]Fin[/name_m] would be sweet.
[name_f]Tenley[/name_f] - I like that this one is a bit more obscure, but still fits your girly style.
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] - Solid choice.

Maybe:
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] a bit dated and also more traditional than your other picks, though I love [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - It’s ubiquitous, but pretty.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] - I see your style as a bit more vowel-heavy, and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] just feels kind of long for you.
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] - A bit dated, so it would be unexpected on a little girl now. I love [name_f]Em[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f].
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] - Again, a nice classic choice though less exciting.
[name_f]Tinsley[/name_f] - Reminds me of Tinsel and I prefer [name_f]Tenley[/name_f].
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u] - Cool, but I think I prefer [name_u]Lennon[/name_u].
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] - A bit dated, but I prefer it to other [name_m]Ken[/name_m]- names.

No:
[name_u]McKinley[/name_u] - So over the Mc- names, and I don’t like most presidential names. I prefer [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u].
[name_u]Baylor[/name_u] - All boy to me.
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u] - I always hear “ken doll” and I don’t like the Kardashian reference.
[name_u]Lexi[/name_u] - Incomplete.
[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f] - Not my favorite.
[name_u]Madison[/name_u] - Dated and overdone. I prefer [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] to get to [name_f]Maddie[/name_f].
[name_u]Logan[/name_u] - Feels all boy to me and I don’t like the sound.
[name_f]McKenna[/name_f] - Better than [name_u]McKinley[/name_u], but still don’t love it. Again, prefer [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u].
[name_u]London[/name_u] - Reminds me of [name_u]London[/name_u] Tipton.
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] - Prefer [name_f]Kinley[/name_f].
[name_u]Blakely[/name_u] - Prefer [name_u]Blake[/name_u].
[name_m]Kensington[/name_m] “Kensie” - I know a little boy named [name_m]Kensington[/name_m]. It’s just a lot of name.
