Honest opinions on

[Youssarian]

These names have been on my name list for so long ~ just looking for some feedback on them, anything you can think of [name_f][/name_f]- you can be brutally honest!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Kelley[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Larissa[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lissette[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Misty[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Sky[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Christophe[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Claude[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ryland[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Sage[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Slade[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Toby[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Zander[/name_m] (as a standalone, not a nickname for Alexander)

[rosajune]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f]: [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] name, feels a bit chic, fresher than [name_f]Angela[/name_f] but with a bit more flair than [name_m]Angel[/name_m], and a good alternative to [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] if that’s not up your alley

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m]: Feels quite 90s, I think I prefer it for a boy but don’t mind it for a girl. I do think this spelling is prettier, but would hesitate to use it since [name_f]Kelly[/name_f] is more popular

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f]: I get pretty, cool brunette girl from the early 90s lol

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lissette[/name_f]: Ooh, interesting and [name_f]French[/name_f] chic. I think most names with that “ette” ending have this charming quality about them, and are refreshing to hear among the plethora of feminine names ending in A or N.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f]: In theory, I find this name very cute. In reality, I knew a dog with this name growing up and cannot separate the two, though I’m generally fine with or even a fan of dog/human crossover names. Not sure why this one isn’t landing with me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m]: I love just [name_m]Sky[/name_m] as opposed to Skyler/Skylar. The sky is one of the most beautiful things in the universe, and it’s simple, instantly recognizable as a name. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite of your girls list!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m]: [name_m]Classic[/name_m], never got too overused, flows well with so many first and middle names, masculine in nature yet sounds pretty soft. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a lovely name overall, a favorite of mine.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m]: Never heard this pronounced in real life, but seems like a nice [name_f]French[/name_f] alternative to the classic [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m]: I don’t like the “Cl” sound in names, nothing against the name itself though

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m]: I quite like it. Sort of gives me western surname vibes, it has a nice sound [name_f][/name_f]- I think as a middle specifically, it would pair swimmingly with many other first names.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f]: Ooh, love [name_f]Sage[/name_f] for a boy. Very cool, understated, gentle and unique in the best way [name_f][/name_f]- a 10/10 for me!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m]: Like this one more in theory, I feel like I should like it more as it sounds very similar to [name_f]Sage[/name_f], but for some reason it feels a bit try-hard.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m]: [name_m]Super[/name_m] cute for a little boy! And fits well enough as an adult (though I prefer it for a child)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m]: I prefer it to [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. It’s more streamlined, edgier, rolls off the tongue better, I just get cool-and-good-looking vibes from this one. I love [name_m]Zander[/name_m], [name_f]Sage[/name_f] & [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] the most from your boys list!

[name_f]My[/name_f] thoughts

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] ~ beautiful name my favourite from your list she’s elegant, romantic and surrounded by pink pastel imagery. [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] name with the fun nickname [name_f]Angie[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] ~ she’s a melodic name that feels sparkly and glamorous. I also like the nickname Rissy. However I do prefer [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m] ~.a bright, bohemian name that feels fun and I think with this spelling has a more hippy feel which I love.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lissette[/name_f] ~ this name feels very Parisian chic a sleek feminine choice I also like the nickname [name_f]Ettie[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m] ~ personally I find [name_m]Kelley[/name_m] a little dated and the sound doesn’t appeal to me either.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f] ~ finally [name_f]Misty[/name_f] I think she would make a fun nickname for [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] but not keen as a stand-alone I just do not like the overall vibe.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] ~ I actually love [name_f]Sage[/name_f] for a boy I think the name is so peaceful, outdoorsy and calm strongly prefer for boys. For me something like [name_f]Sage[/name_f] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] would be heavenly.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m] ~ sweet boyish [name_m]Toby[/name_m] is so adorable and cuddly a really lovely name that feels so endearing perfect choice.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m] ~ a handsome classic choice that feels gentlemanly however I do prefer [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] I just like the familiarity of this name.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] ~ I think this name is really handsome and stylish however I do prefer [name_m]Xander[/name_m] spelling wise as I feel it’s more intuitive.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m] ~ feels very cowboy cool I can envision [name_m]Ryland[/name_m] riding horses in his western boots and flannel shirts.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m] ~ distinguished pan European choice however doesn’t immediately warm to me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] ~ personally feels a bit dated and I’m not keen on the sound

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m] ~ this name just reminds me of sleigh and [name_f]Santa[/name_f] [name_m]Claus[/name_m] for some reason

[daisydarcy]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – she’s so chic & elegant, with a vibe of Parisian romance! I love the versatility of all her nicknames, and I definitely prefer her over [name_f]Angela[/name_f] or [name_f]Angelina[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Kelley[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – I prefer [name_m]Kelley[/name_m] on a boy, actually! [name_m]Kelley[/name_m] feels very 90s for sure, especially on a girl. Maybe [name_f]Keeley[/name_f] would be a little fresher?
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Larissa[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] is one of those names I go back and forth on… [name_f]Lara[/name_f] or [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] definitely rank higher for me, but I love all her sounds & how underrated [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] is!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lissette[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – I can totally picture sisters named [name_f]Angeline[/name_f] & [name_f]Lissette[/name_f]! She’s pretty & Parisian, with a hint of ballerina. I love all the nicknames as well, especially [name_f]Lettie[/name_f], [name_f]Lissy[/name_f], & [name_f]Etta[/name_f]!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Misty[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – in all honesty, [name_f]Misty[/name_f] feels a little more horse-name than human-name… though that might be because I knew a horse named [name_f]Misty[/name_f]. I like the sounds in theory, but just not my favorite.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Sky[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – so bright & bohemian! I love the zippy sound & nature connections, and definitely prefer [name_m]Sky[/name_m] over any other variation (Skyla, [name_f]Skyler[/name_f] / [name_f]Skylar[/name_f], etc.)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – such an underrated pick, but one of my loves! [name_m]Just[/name_m] like [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] is one of those classic names that I did a complete 360 on overnight, but now I can’t imagine disliking it. [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] has such strong sounds but a relaxed & friendly vibe.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Christophe[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – I’ve never been a fan of any of the [name_m]Chris[/name_m]- names, they just feel very dated.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Claude[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – ooh, another underrated pick! I do prefer [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] slightly over [name_m]Claude[/name_m], but the cool Roaring 20s / old money vibe is great either way. He does feel a bit unapproachable, but a fun nickname might help with that.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ryland[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – a cool cowboy pick, love his grounded sounds and rugged vibe.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Sage[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – love [name_f]Sage[/name_f]! This name just has such a peaceful sound & gorgeous imagery.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Slade[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – not my favorite, reminds me of the words “slay” & “slave”
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Toby[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – this is my little brothers name!! He fits it so so so well, and I love how bright, cuddly, & versatile the name is!
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Zander[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] – cool & zippy! Definitely prefer [name_m]Zander[/name_m] over the more popular [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]!

[EagleEyes]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] → elegant and chic. I think this is one of the best [name_m]Angel[/name_m]- names!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m] → I like it, but prefer [name_f]Kelly[/name_f] or [name_f]Kellie[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] → definitely a bit dated at this point, but I do see the appeal. I prefer the similar [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] or [name_f]Marissa[/name_f] personally.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lissette[/name_f] → lovely name but I think it looks nicer spelled [name_f]Lisette[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f] → Sweet, nickname-y and nature-y, but maybe a little hard to wear as a full name. It reminds me of names like [name_f]Missy[/name_f], [name_f]Pixie[/name_f], etc.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m] → Very cool. I love that it has very chill, kind of surfer vibes, but I can also totally see it as a chic, buttoned-up professional.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] → [name_m]Classic[/name_m] and strong. I do wish it had another obvious nickname besides [name_m]Tony[/name_m], which feels a bit dated (although I love [name_f]Toni[/name_f] for a girl!).

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m] → Cool and elegant, but I can see people in English-speaking places thinking it’s [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] missing a letter, or hearing it as [name_m]Kristoff[/name_m] like in Frozen.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m] → [name_f]Vintage[/name_f] and artistic. Not a personal favorite of mine but there’s nothing wrong with it.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m] → I adore the very similar [name_m]Rylan[/name_m] and this is also very cool and handsome. It feels laid back and outdoorsy.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] → I have to admit, I’m just not really into [name_f]Sage[/name_f] for any gender, and I’m not sure why.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m] → a little harsh to me. I know it has totally separate origins, but it reminds me of blade and slash put together

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m] → so sweet and friendly. I also like that it’s classic but underused.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] → I do prefer the [name_m]Xander[/name_m] spelling personally but either way I think it makes a great standalone name. It hits that sweet spot of being very well-known without being overly popular.

[RadioactiveSquid]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Elegant, soft, timeless but less common than [name_f]Angelina[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]. It feels a little formal, though nicknames ([name_f]Angie[/name_f], [name_f]Lina[/name_f]) make it approachable. Some might find it a bit dated, but it has grace.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- A little mid-century (peaked in the 70s/80s). The -ey[name_f][/name_f] spelling feels casual, friendly, approachable, but may come across less timeless than [name_f]Kelly[/name_f][name_f][/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Pretty[/name_f], romantic, slightly European vibe. Feels distinctive but not too out-there. Might get shortened to [name_f]Lari[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], which not everyone loves, but the full form is striking.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lissette[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Chic and rare. [name_f]French[/name_f] flair, stylish, but may come off as “incomplete” compared to [name_f]Lisette[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]. Still, very polished and sophisticated.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Soft and nature-y, but very tied to a specific era (70s/80s). It feels whimsical and poetic, though some might see it as too airy/informal for adulthood.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Sleek, modern, simple. It has a very free-spirited, unisex vibe. Works well for a middle name too. [name_m]Can[/name_m] feel a little trendy/“hippie,” but undeniably pretty.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Classic[/name_m], strong, always recognizable. Might feel a little overused, but it ages well and has good nickname options ([name_m]Tony[/name_m]).

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Feels elegant, [name_f]French[/name_f], sophisticated. Less accessible than [name_m]Christopher[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] in English-speaking contexts, but very stylish if you like [name_m]Euro[/name_m] flair.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Old-fashioned, artistic (Claude [name_f]Monet[/name_f], [name_m]Claude[/name_m] Debussy). In some circles it feels vintage-chic; in others, a bit clunky. Depends on taste, but definitely distinctive.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Contemporary surname style, trendy but not too overdone. Feels like a blend of [name_m]Ryan[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] and [name_m]Rowan[/name_m][name_f][/name_f]. Very usable.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Gentle, earthy, and unisex. For a boy, it feels calm and modern, though some might see it as leaning feminine. Still, very cool in today’s naming climate.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Edgy, tough, bold. Very comic-book/superhero energy. Works if you like dramatic, sharp names, but might feel “villain-coded” to some.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Friendly, approachable, warm. Ages surprisingly well despite sounding boyish. It’s cozy but not as formal as [name_m]Tobias[/name_m][name_f][/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Works as a standalone. Sleek, cool, slightly modern. Less traditional than [name_m]Alexander[/name_m][name_f][/name_f], but feels approachable and not too out-there.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f] Overall vibes:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]
• Your girl list leans elegant with a touch of whimsy ([name_f]Angeline[/name_f], [name_f]Larissa[/name_f], [name_f]Lissette[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] vs. [name_f]Misty[/name_f], [name_m]Sky[/name_m]).
[name_f][/name_f]
• Your boy list ranges from classic ([name_m]Anthony[/name_m]) to sleek modern ([name_m]Ryland[/name_m], [name_m]Zander[/name_m]) to bold/edgy ([name_m]Slade[/name_m]).
[name_f][/name_f]

[ashthedreamer]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- pretty name, maybe my favorite of the [name_f]Angie[/name_f] names. [name_f][/name_f] It still makes me think of [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] though.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Kelley[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- feels dated to me, fine name in general though.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Larissa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- lovely name, though I prefer [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f], [name_f]Lara[/name_f], or [name_f]Lana[/name_f] in general.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lissette[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- absolutely love this name but vastly prefer the [name_f]Lisette[/name_f] spelling.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Misty[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- feels dated but still nice. [name_f][/name_f] Like that it reminds me of a misty evening
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Sky[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I’ve never been a fan, the only name I like with sky in it is [name_m]Schuyler[/name_m] on a boy—I just don’t like the look of [name_m]Sky[/name_m] as a name?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- classic name, I like [name_m]Antony[/name_m], [name_m]Anton[/name_m], and [name_m]Antonin[/name_m] better myself though!
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Christophe[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- more unexpected than [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], but I don’t love it enough.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Claude[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- like a lot but not as much as [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] for a girl and other short [name_f]French[/name_f] names for a boy (like [name_m]Gaston[/name_m], [name_m]Florin[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Timeo[/name_m], etc)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ryland[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- like a lot, maybe my favorite on this list.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Sage[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- it’s growing on me! [name_f][/name_f] Very cool for a boy.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Slade[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- does absolutely nothing for me, sorry!
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Toby[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- like but don’t love, prefer [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Tobiah[/name_m], or [name_m]Tobin[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Zander[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- eh. [name_f][/name_f] Doesn’t do a ton for me, it’s a fine name/nn. [name_f][/name_f] I wouldn’t use it—there are other diminutives for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] I like more (Sasha, Skandar).

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m], [name_f]Lisette[/name_f], and [name_m]Toby[/name_m] are my favorites!

[Greyblue]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] → sleek and elegant; familiar but with a twist
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Kelley[/name_m] → a bit lacklustre and dusty for me, but it would kind of be cool to meet a young [name_m]Kelley[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Larissa[/name_f] → delicate and light but with plenty of substance and a little sass [name_f][/name_f]- love potential for nickname [name_f]Lissie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lissette[/name_f] → sharp but sweet, but I think I prefer [name_f]Lisette[/name_f] or [name_f]Lizette[/name_f] in appearance?
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Misty[/name_f] → cute and sparky; reminds me of [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Indie[/name_f], [name_m]Kelley[/name_m], [name_f]Rainey[/name_f], [name_f]Lainey[/name_f], [name_m]Storm[/name_m], [name_f]Kerry[/name_f], and [name_f]Macy[/name_f] at the same time
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Sky[/name_m] → bright and whimsy but sophisticated and powerful at the same time

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] → classic and solid, but it has no spark for me
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Christophe[/name_m] → it has a cool arty feel to it, while still feeling grounded
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Claude[/name_m] → elegant and arty, oldy-worldy but with a bit of [name_m]Jude[/name_m], [name_m]Cade[/name_m] and [name_m]Crew[/name_m] about it too.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ryland[/name_m] → I don’t hate it [name_f][/name_f]- there’s something about the rye- + -an sounds I don’t love (my brain reads them as a bit sticky) but this has a bit more earthiness?
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Sage[/name_f] → warm, wise and friendly
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Slade[/name_m] → a bit harsh for me
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Toby[/name_m] → sweet but solid, handsome but bubbly
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Zander[/name_m] → kind of edgy cool without being too edgy?

[cosyghost]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] is beautiful! I like it more than other [name_m]Angel[/name_m] names like [name_f]Angelina[/name_f], [name_f]Angela[/name_f] etc. [name_f]Angeline[/name_f] feels fresh and a little different, but still very recognisable

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m] is just okay to me. It feels a little dated to me as I associate it with people I know born in the 80s and early 90s. I like it more for a boy as it feels a bit fresher

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] is pretty! I prefer it to [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f], I think. I went to school with a [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] and she was lovely so it has good associations for me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lissette[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I’d prefer [name_f]Lisette[/name_f]. With two Ss it looks wrong to me for some reason! This one has the potential to feel dated to some but with the right middle name it could give more of a fresh [name_f]French[/name_f] vibe.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I love [name_f]Misty[/name_f]! I asked about [name_f]Misty[/name_f] ages ago and the general consensus then was that it’s a bit 80s dated. But to me it feels like such an American name that it doesn’t feel dated to me, it feels fresh and interesting. I’m [name_f]British[/name_f] and have never met a human [name_f]Misty[/name_f], only the occasional cat. It also reminds me of the The [name_f]Mysti[/name_f] Show which I watched when I was a little kid. It was about a fairy and a popular [name_f]British[/name_f] kids TV show

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Sky[/name_m] is pretty. I just like a lot of other names more, and ever since Mamma [name_f]Mia[/name_f] I’ve preferred it for a boy.

[name_f][/name_f]

Your girls names give me quite an 80s/90s vibe overall. I don’t think this is a bad thing! [name_f]Angeline[/name_f], [name_m]Kelley[/name_m], [name_f]Larissa[/name_f], [name_f]Lissette[/name_f], [name_f]Misty[/name_f], and [name_m]Sky[/name_m] sound like a fun group of supermodels and actresses from the period!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I like [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]. I’m not sure how widely used he is anymore. [name_f]My[/name_f] main gripe is nicknames [name_f][/name_f]- I don’t really like Ant or [name_m]Tony[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I would prefer [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], and I think unless you’re in an area that is French/speaks French/is familiar with [name_f]French[/name_f], I think most people would just assume [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] anyway? I went to school with a [name_m]Christophe[/name_m] and he would have teachers put an R on the end of his name because they thought he’d spelled his own name wrong.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I think [name_m]Claude[/name_m] is nice, and I’d be pleased to meet a baby [name_m]Claude[/name_m] in 2025. I just like a lot of other names more!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I don’t really like [name_m]Ryland[/name_m], sorry! I don’t really like the similar sounding [name_m]Ryan[/name_m], [name_m]Rylan[/name_m], [name_m]Ryder[/name_m] etc.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] is so wonderful for a boy! I think [name_f]Sage[/name_f] is nice for a girl, but I love it so much more for a boy.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Sorry I don’t really like this one either. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not my style!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I love [name_m]Toby[/name_m]! Probably my favourite on your boys list

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I think [name_m]Zander[/name_m] is more intuitive for people than [name_m]Xander[/name_m], but I prefer the look of [name_m]Xander[/name_m] more for some reason. I think it stands fine on its own, though. It doesn’t need to be short for anything!

[name_f][/name_f]

Overall, I like your girls names more than your boys. But I do think they all fit well together if you mixed and matched them as potential sibling names.

[Gingilocks101]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] → underrated! I’m a fan of [name_m]Angel[/name_m]- names (esp [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] and Angelique) so this feels very elegant. Could be misheard/mistaken as [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] if [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] continues to increase in popularity, but this is unlikely.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m] → a bit dull and I think the second E might be confusing, but it does have a pleasing symmetrical element that [name_f]Kelly[/name_f] lacks.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] → feels like a cool girl name [name_f][/name_f]- sassy, mall goth(?) vibes. Fun nickname options with the potential for unexpected, like [name_m]Issy[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lissette[/name_f] → it’s okay, not my style. I prefer [name_f]Lizette[/name_f] if any, but otherwise it feels too informal/nicknamey for me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f] → I don’t know how I feel about [name_f]Misty[/name_f]? Soundwise it’s sweet but I think it’s very USian in a way that wouldn’t fit where I live in the UK. It also reminds me of a dog in Bluey, but I like the nature name aspect. Could be due a comeback tbh.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m] → I like this name but only in the middle. I think it’s a fun sound, nice imagery, unisex and works with lots of firsts. Feels like a modern classic [name_f][/name_f]- the new May/Grace.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] → [name_m]Classic[/name_m], strong name. Easily recognised, possibly turning a little dated (at least in the UK).

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m] → very European, sounds fancy. Agree with @RadioactiveSquid[name_f][/name_f] that it’s less accessible in Anglophone spheres but still has the same nicknames if that’s something you’re happy with.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m] → I have a real soft spot for [name_m]Claude[/name_m]. I think he’s a bit old-fashioned, not quite back yet, but I really like it. I also like it spelled [name_m]Claud[/name_m] but I prefer [name_m]Claude[/name_m] with the E. [name_f]My[/name_f] top girl middle is [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] so [name_m]Claud[/name_m] is probably not in the cards for me, but 100% encourage people to use it because it’s so cool.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m] → not my style. I’m not a fan of names like [name_m]Roland[/name_m], [name_m]Ryan[/name_m] or even [name_m]Rylan[/name_m]. [name_m]Ryland[/name_m] feels like a store name more than a person name to me. It isn’t super odd though [name_f][/name_f]- its similarity to the other names like [name_m]Ryan[/name_m] and [name_m]Roland[/name_m] will work in its favour when your child introduces themselves.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] → similar to how I feel about [name_m]Sky[/name_m]? It’s nice but I prefer it as a fun nature middle. It works with tons of firsts, it’s got positive imagery, it’s a nice shade of green. I think it works better for a girl based purely on how it sounds like [name_f]Paige[/name_f], but lots of established boy names rhyme with girl names so that’s not really anything to be concerned about.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m] → I cannot take the name [name_m]Slade[/name_m] seriously because it just reminds me of the UK band [name_m]Slade[/name_m] and their hit “Merry Xmas Everyone” which famously begins with the lead singer screaming “IT’S CHRISTMAS!” To me, [name_m]Slade[/name_m] = [name_f]Christmas[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m] → cute! I love [name_m]Toby[/name_m], I think it’s a great name that can be a nickname for many things (my favourites are [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and [name_m]Tobin[/name_m], but [name_m]October[/name_m] nn [name_m]Toby[/name_m] is a GP name for me) and I think it works well as the child ages.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] → prefer it as a nickname for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] than on its own but the Z initial is kinda cool.

[name_f][/name_f]

Overall impressions: a lot of your names are not my personal style but there isn’t anything bad about any of them. All of my criticisms are very much based on my own feelings rather than anything to be concerned about, and overall I think they go nicely together.

[VEL]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] – Elegant, vintage-Francophone vibe. Feels romantic but less common than Angelina/Angela. Could get mistaken for those, but it has charm.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m] – Feels very 80s/90s (especially this spelling). Fresh spellings like [name_f]Kelly[/name_f] still work, but overall it leans dated compared to today’s trends.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] – Soft, pretty, melodic. Popular in the 90s/early 2000s, but still wearable. Has a European flair.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lissette[/name_f] – Chic, French-leaning, unusual. Might be confused with [name_f]Lisette[/name_f] (one “s”), but it feels stylish and distinctive.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f] – Nostalgic and tied to the 70s/80s. Sweet and dreamy word name, but also has a “retro cheerleader” vibe. Could feel dated, though it has nature/whimsical appeal.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m] – Modern, light, ethereal. Very on-trend with nature names. Simpler than [name_f]Skye[/name_f], which feels more feminine to many, but [name_m]Sky[/name_m] works well.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] – [name_m]Classic[/name_m], solid, traditional. Feels familiar across generations, though less stylish than it once was. Nickname [name_m]Tony[/name_m] does feel dated.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m] – Distinctly [name_f]French[/name_f], elegant, unusual outside of Francophone cultures. Could get mistaken for [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], but it has a refined flair.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m] – Old-school, artsy, painterly vibe. Feels very vintage-chic, though not currently common. Could come off as heavy to some, but stylish in the right context.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m] – Modern, surname-y, trendy in style. Feels like a contemporary alternative to [name_f]Riley[/name_f] or [name_m]Rylan[/name_m]. Definitely usable.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] – Gender-neutral, nature-inspired, serene. Currently more common for girls but completely wearable for boys. I’d consider it a strong, modern choice.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m] – Edgy, sharp, dramatic. Has a comic-book/sci-fi villain vibe, but also feels sleek and stylish. A bold pick, less soft than the others.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m] – Friendly, approachable, warm. Underused right now, though it has a boy-next-door charm. More nickname-y, but can stand alone.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] – Works fine as a standalone, feels modern and zippy. [name_f]May[/name_f] still get “short for Alexander?” questions, but it’s established enough, especially with this spelling.

[GinnyPotter]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I don’t like names beginning with ‘Angel -’ as a rule because it just feels overly sweet and prim. Comparing [name_f]Angeline[/name_f] to other similar names, it sounds a bit incomplete; I think I’d prefer [name_f]Angela[/name_f] or [name_f]Angélique[/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Not a fan of how the name sounds, I do think it’s dull on a girl but cooler on a boy. The [name_m]Kelley[/name_m] spelling is an improvement on [name_f]Kelly[/name_f] though.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- A nice Russian name, pretty, maybe a little too delicate. I prefer the spelling [name_f]Larisa[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lissette[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Fairly sweet and stylish, although again on the delicate side. Prefer the spelling [name_f]Lisette[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Flimsy and flighty, and on top of that, it’s a word [name_f][/name_f]- so it would 100% be made fun of where I am.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Not a fan, but then I don’t like word names in general.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Love[/name_f] it. It’s so friendly and approachable, but substantial.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- A fine name, an improvement on [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] (although I like [name_m]Kristoff[/name_m] better).

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Not a fan of the sound, but nothing wrong with it. Dignified in a vintage way.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Quite surname-y, but has a cool sound nonetheless.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Not a fan. It’s not an especially appealing sound, and the actual meaning of the word ‘sage’ (aside from the plant) pushes it into excessively-prim-and-proper territory.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I don’t hate it, but it is[name_f][/name_f] what a villain would be named either in a high school flick or a superhero film.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Like it a lot (see Anthony). It has a somewhat distinctive sound to it.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Not a fan of it honestly, it’s chopping off the best part of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].

[EloiseT]

My faves if your girls are Angeline & Sky (though I prefer Skye). They’d be beautiful as a sibling pair. Kelley and Misty are very 80s to me - sports stars, TV anchors, dancers etc. I like Lissette but I’d never choose a Liss or Riss name, as the sound gives me the chills, so no Larissa either (which makes me think of rissoles so a definite no).

I like all your boys except Slade which is too grungy and intense Sk8ter boy for me. But it would go with Kelley & Misty even if Slade seems more of the last twenty years. I prefer Anthony as a middle. Claude, Ryland, Toby & Zander (though I’d spell Xander) are my faves.

[Fabfitfun77]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lisette[/name_f] ( love [name_f]Colette[/name_f] but this is beautiful)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] (( beautiful sound))

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] ((adore this on a boy ))

[name_f][/name_f]

[AmyVermeersch]

[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Always makes me think of Angels. Feels like a big name for a baby or a child. It feels pretty and like a princess name.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Kelley[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Feels dated to me. I also don’t love this spelling and prefer [name_f]Kelly[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Also feels dated to me. I don’t love any of the nickname options.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lisette[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I like the nickname options of [name_f]Lissie[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f] or [name_f]Ettie[/name_f]. Feels vintage in a way, but not too dated to be unusable. I like it!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Misty[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I think of the girl from Pokemon which probably ages me haha. It feels like a nickname to me rather than a full name.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Sky[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Not a horrible name. [name_f]Every[/name_f] [name_m]Sky[/name_m] I’ve known as been annoying so it’s jaded me on the name. I prefer it spelled with an E (Skye).

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Feels very Italian. I like the nickname [name_m]Tony[/name_m] or Anto for it. I don’t hate it, but don’t love it.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Christophe[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Feels like a misspelling of [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]. I feel it would get mistaken for [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] a lot and become annoying.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Claude[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Feels like a big name. Feels a little frumpy. I can’t picture a baby or toddler [name_m]Claude[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ryland[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- There’s a home builder around here called [name_m]Ryland[/name_m] so I think of that. I like the nickname [name_m]Ry[/name_m], don’t love the name though. Feels too country to me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sage[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I like this name for a girl, not a boy. I would assume it was a girl’s name since I’ve never met a boy [name_f]Sage[/name_f] before. I always think of the spice.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Slade[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Don’t love this one either. It feels like it’s trying too hard to be cool.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Toby[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I like it as a nickname, but not as a full name. I’d prefer [name_m]Tobias[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f] I don’t hate it. You might get some weird spellings or mispronunciations with it.
