Thanks so much!!

[name_u]Kristian[/name_u]: I don’t like it, sorry. It’s a very good name in its own right but it’s just not my taste, I don’t mind the spelling though.
[name_u]North[/name_u]: yeah, this is a name that I believe will be always tied to [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_u]West[/name_u] and the Kardashian/[name_u]West[/name_u]/Jenner clan.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]: this spelling for sure. I love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f].
[name_u]California[/name_u]: I don’t like this. I think it suits The Game’s daughter because of the lifestyle, it fits the vibe, but I don’t particularly care for it.
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]: love this name!
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]: see [name_f]Elle[/name_f].
[name_m]Chance[/name_m]: I don’t like this name, sorry.
[name_f]Alabama[/name_f]: this name intrigues me, I think I like it. I love similar names like [name_f]Arizona[/name_f] and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f], so I think [name_f]Alabama[/name_f] ‘fits’.
Devenity: Tacky.
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]: yeah, only for boys [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. It’s a nice name… for a boy.
[name_u]Channing[/name_u]: all boy (and [name_u]Tatum[/name_u]) to me.
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]: this name is nice, not my style, but nice.
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]: see [name_u]Haven[/name_u].
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]: adore this name.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]: meh. I know of a handful of people where I live who called their fully British kids this and it feels bizarre, like it belongs to an Italian only.
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u]: I liked this name for a short while, it’s quirky.
[name_m]Ace[/name_m]: dislike, sorry. It just feels pretentious to me.
[name_m]Kingston[/name_m]: my favourite of the [name_m]King[/name_m]/[name_u]Kingsley[/name_u]/[name_m]Kingston[/name_m] trio. It’s a nice name.
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]: love!!
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m]: dislike, but I really can’t get behind names like this.
[name_m]Justus[/name_m]/[name_u]Justice[/name_u]: see [name_m]Prosper[/name_m].
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]: cool. But maybe too cool.
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]: love!!
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u]: I’m unsure whether I like it or not, it’s a good name though.

[name_u]Everest[/name_u]: dislike, sorry.

[name_u]Kristian[/name_u] - I don’t hate it but I do prefer it on a boy, and spelled [name_m]Christian[/name_m].
[name_u]North[/name_u] - I do think this is very tied to the Wests. However, I do actually love [name_u]North[/name_u]. Perhaps as a middle?
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]/D’[name_f]Lila[/name_f] - Definitely [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. It’s a beautiful name.
[name_u]California[/name_u] “[name_u]Cali[/name_u]” - Not a fan. I do like just [name_u]Cali[/name_u], though.
[name_f]Elle[/name_f] - This is a lovely name.
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this!
[name_m]Chance[/name_m] - I think this suits the middle spot more.
[name_f]Alabama[/name_f] - Definitely not a fan, sorry.
Devenity - Again, not a fan. However, I do like [name_u]Deven[/name_u]/[name_u]Devon[/name_u].
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] - I think [name_m]Jett[/name_m] is adorable on a girl! I’d use it as a nickname for [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] - This leans more masculine for me (likely due to [name_u]Channing[/name_u] [name_u]Tatum[/name_u]).
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] - I think this is nice.
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] - I actually had [name_f]Honor[/name_f] on my own list years ago. I think it fits the middle spot a bit better.
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] - Very pretty.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m] - I love this but find it very tied to [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m].
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u] - I love this, too.
[name_m]Ace[/name_m] - [name_m]Ace[/name_m] has been growing on me recently. I do prefer something slightly longer - like [name_u]Asa[/name_u] - though.
[name_m]Kingston[/name_m] - I like this, though I personally like alternative Kings- names (like [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u]) more.
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] - Really like this!
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]!
[name_m]Justus[/name_m]/[name_u]Justice[/name_u] - [name_u]Justice[/name_u] makes me think of actor [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] Ackles’ daughter, [name_u]Justice[/name_u] [name_u]Jay[/name_u] “JJ”. I think it’s better suited as a middle.
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] - I absolutely adore [name_m]Wolf[/name_m], and the nn Wolfie is lovely.
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m] - A nice twist on [name_m]Henry[/name_m].
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u] - I really like this.

[name_u]Everest[/name_u] - I prefer this on a boy, but I do really like it.

[name_u]Kristian[/name_u] (pronounced [name_m]Christian[/name_m])- I really like [name_m]Christian[/name_m] for a boy but I can’t picture it on a girl
[name_u]North[/name_u]- unfortunately, I can’t think of anything or anyone other than [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_u]West[/name_u].
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]/D’[name_f]Lila[/name_f]- DEFINITELY [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. I don’t understand adding apostrophes to names where it’s not necessary. I’m neutral on [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], it was ruined for me when it was given to every white MC in fan fiction a couple years ago, but I can appreciate the sound and appeal
[name_u]California[/name_u] “[name_u]Cali[/name_u]”- I actually knew a girl who had an ex-stepsister named [name_u]California[/name_u] “[name_u]Cali[/name_u]” but I think it’s difficult for a person to wear
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]- I love the simplicity of this! I think it will be assumed that this is a nickname though
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]- OMG love! I really like [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] [name_f]Cara[/name_f] and she’s turned me on to this name
[name_m]Chance[/name_m]- I dislike this on a boy, but don’t hate it on a girl as much as I thought I would. You have better names on your list but I love this as a middle name option
[name_f]Alabama[/name_f]- hmm I go to Clemson so I strongly dislike this name :stuck_out_tongue:
Devenity- I like [name_u]Deven[/name_u] but I don’t understand misspelling a word name… and divinity is kinda tacky as a name
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]- tbh, the only reason [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is on my long list is the nickname [name_m]Jett[/name_m]. I think it’s a little masculine as a full name but I think it’s a spunky nickname
[name_u]Channing[/name_u]- I can’t picture this on a girl
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]- pretty sound, and I know a nice girl with this name who goes to my university so it ages well
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]- nms, but a nice name and meaning
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]- I like it

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]- huge GP of mine, but I think it’s unusable in real life
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u]- nms but I like the sound and the nickname [name_u]Cai[/name_u]/[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Ace[/name_m]- not a fan. I just think of the hardware store and their extremely annoying jingle
[name_m]Kingston[/name_m]- again, nms but I like it
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]- too tied to [name_f]Miley[/name_f] for my liking, but she isn’t a bad namesake. I like the sound though
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m]- this is a popular name on this site but I can’t get behind it. While it has a nice sound and meaning, I don’t think it would translate well into real life
[name_m]Justus[/name_m]/[name_u]Justice[/name_u]- not a fan. [name_m]Justus[/name_m] looks like “just us” and [name_u]Justice[/name_u] is a (very tacky) pre-teen girl’s clothing store
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]- sure, why not? It isn’t my taste but I’ve seen weirder.
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]- it’s a very harsh name so it isn’t my style
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u]- [name_u]Love[/name_u]!

[name_u]Everest[/name_u]- actually really like this. Sounds like [name_u]Everett[/name_u] but has [name_f]Evie[/name_f] as a nickname option for a girl

[name_u]Kristian[/name_u]: It’s not my style. I don’t particularly mind the spelling but it’s always been a little bit of a weird name to me because Christianity is, like… a whole religion, ya know? That said, I do know some female Kristians so it can work if you like it enough.
[name_u]North[/name_u]: [name_f]IMO[/name_f] it’s 100% unusable outside of celebrities due to the Kimye association.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]: I’ve never really liked this name, not that there’s anything wrong with it but I just don’t like the sounds in the name. Definitely the [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] spelling though. D’[name_f]Lila[/name_f] is, for lack of a better term, tacky.
[name_u]California[/name_u] “[name_u]Cali[/name_u]”: [name_u]Cali[/name_u] is cute, [name_u]California[/name_u] is a celebrity name.
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]: Simple but solid.
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]: So pretty! I hope it rises with the recent popularity of [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] [name_f]Cara[/name_f].
[name_m]Chance[/name_m]: I like the name on a boy, but it’s super masculine to me and I can’t imagine it on a girl.
[name_f]Alabama[/name_f]: Um… [name_f]Alabama[/name_f] is NOT a state you want to be named after…
Devenity: I love [name_u]Devin[/name_u]/[name_u]Deven[/name_u] on a girl, but not with a misspelled word as a first name. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t get me wrong, I’m all for alternate spellings. A ton of names on my own list are not the most commonly spelled versions of the name. However, [name_f]Divinity[/name_f] isn’t even really established as a name. So taking a word that’s not really established as a name and then changing the spelling seems very tacky. It’s like if I named my child Doerknobb or something because I like the way that looks better. Maybe a superlative example but you get the point. Not to get into the whole issue of religions either.
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]: I much prefer it on a boy as I think it’s very masculine, but with that being said I have encountered it on a girl before. It’s still weird to me on a girl though.
[name_u]Channing[/name_u]: Very cute.
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]: I think it’s a really pretty name. The sounds in it are very melodic. I prefer it over [name_f]Heaven[/name_f].
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]: [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t feel one way or another about it.
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]: I’m not a huge fan of this name but that’s just my personal taste. There’s nothing wrong with it.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]: Never really been a big fan. The whole tragedy thing never left a good taste in my mouth…
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u]: I can see it working. It’s different but familiar enough.
[name_m]Ace[/name_m]: I really like this name!
[name_m]Kingston[/name_m]: Very trendy right now.
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]: Extremely old school to me. But who knows, maybe it’s ready for a comeback?
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m]: It’s… overly Puritan for me.
[name_m]Justus[/name_m]/[name_u]Justice[/name_u]: Not a fan but I’ve known guys with both spellings. I prefer [name_u]Justice[/name_u].
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]: I think it could work. Wolfie is cute.
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]: I think it’s a perfect middle name.
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u]: Seems feminine to me?

[name_u]Everest[/name_u]: Vastly prefer it on a boy.

[name_u]Love[/name_u]:
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_u]Cali[/name_u] (with a different full name)
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u]
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m]
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_u]Everest[/name_u]

Dislike:
[name_u]Kristian[/name_u]
[name_u]North[/name_u] (association)
Devenity
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] (association)
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u] (very negative association)

The other ones I’m just so-so on!

Girl Names:
[name_u]Kristian[/name_u] - I don’t like this. [name_f]Christine[/name_f] works fine and sounds essentially the same.
[name_u]North[/name_u] - Sorry, but yes, they definitely claimed this. And they’re not going away anytime soon. Which is a shame because I actually like this name.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]/D’[name_f]Lila[/name_f] - [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] for sure, and I think this is cute.
[name_u]California[/name_u] “[name_u]Cali[/name_u]” - Tbh this is probably best left to the celebrities, though I do like it. [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] & [name_f]Callista[/name_f] are two names I can think of that could have the nickname [name_u]Cali[/name_u] but are more usable.
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]- cute! Really popular though.
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]- Not my favorite but definitely works.
[name_m]Chance[/name_m]- I’ve only known a boy named this but I think it could work if you’re willing to be brave.
[name_f]Alabama[/name_f]- I don’t like it, but I think it’s possible to use this (unlike [name_u]California[/name_u].)
Devenity - I don’t like it. What about just [name_u]Devin[/name_u]? [name_u]Devin[/name_u] for a boy is nice.
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] - Doable in my opinion but brave. I think it would be really nice with a longer, “girly” middle name!
[name_u]Channing[/name_u]- It works but not my favorite. Again, brave. [name_u]Channing[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] would be adorable!
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]- definitely works.
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Honorine[/name_f], nickname [name_f]Honor[/name_f] better.
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!

Boy Names:
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]- Definitely brave but I see it working. He might get teased though.
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u]- Could definitely work, but a brave choice. I like it.
[name_m]Ace[/name_m]- Works, though maybe use it as a nickname? Also, it’s the informal term for asexual, so you might want to consider that.
[name_m]Kingston[/name_m]- Not my style but I definitely think it could work.
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]- [name_f]Miley[/name_f] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] will forever be tethered to this name, but if you’re fine with that association, then go for it. I like it if it didn’t have that family as the association.
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m]- While not my style I think this works well for you as you seem to really like virtue names! This one is more out there, but possibly doable.
[name_m]Justus[/name_m]/[name_u]Justice[/name_u]- [name_u]Justice[/name_u]. This has been used a lot for girls though, so as long as you’re okay with that I think it works.
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] - I think this is cute and strong! I actually really like it, though some may think it’s too out there. I like Wolfie!
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]- I think this is nice! And if you want, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] works well as a nickname.
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u]- The association with [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Cruz[/name_u] is way too much for me. For that reason, I really dislike it and wouldn’t want this name (and that person) associated with my kid so I just wouldn’t.

Unisex:
[name_u]Everest[/name_u]- [name_u]Love[/name_u]! I can’t tell if I like this more as a boy a girl’s name—[name_u]Everest[/name_u] works well for me as a boy name, but [name_u]Ever[/name_u] seems really feminine.

My whole thing just got accidentally deleted! Ugh. So this won’t be as detailed. Sorry!

[name_f]Alabama[/name_f]
Devenity
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] (association)
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u] (negative association)

Girls:
[name_u]Kristian[/name_u]- I just don’t like this. It works, but I’d prefer [name_f]Christine[/name_f] (even though I’m not a big fan of either.)
[name_u]North[/name_u]- actually like this name but the Kardashians have claim over it now, and they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
[name_u]California[/name_u] ([name_u]Cali[/name_u])- [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Cali[/name_u] (maybe [name_f]Callisto[/name_f], [name_f]Callista[/name_f] or [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]?) but [name_u]California[/name_u] just isn’t usable unless you’re a celebrity.
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]- like it! Simple and sweet.
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]- definitely works and is pretty.
[name_m]Chance[/name_m]- only known a guy named this but with bravery I think it works.
[name_f]Alabama[/name_f]- [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like it at all. Celebrity name for sure.
Devenity- I would just go with [name_u]Deven[/name_u] or [name_u]Devin[/name_u]. I super dislike this. [name_f]Divinity[/name_f] is too out there in my opinion, too, at least for a first name.
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]- with a longer, ‘girly’ middle name this would be sooo adorable. Brave choice though.
[name_u]Channing[/name_u]- Very associated with [name_u]Channing[/name_u] [name_u]Tatum[/name_u], love it as a middle though.
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]- love it!
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]- I like this as a nickname for [name_f]Honorine[/name_f].
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]- love it! Big shoes to fill, though.

Boys:
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]- I like it but I think he’ll be teased.
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u]- definitely works! I like it.
[name_m]Ace[/name_m]- [name_m]Ace[/name_m] & [name_m]Jett[/name_m] (with long middle names) would make such a stylish sibset! I like it. But keep in mind that it is the informal term for asexual.
[name_m]Kingston[/name_m]- definitely works.
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]- Association with [name_f]Miley[/name_f] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] and her family is way too strong for me. If you can get past that though the sound is really great!
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m]- I like this for you because you seem to love virtue names, which is a really cool style. I can imagine you using all virtue names as middles ([name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_f]Honor[/name_f], [name_f]Divinity[/name_f], [name_m]Prosper[/name_m], [name_m]Chance[/name_m], [name_u]Justice[/name_u] or whatever) which I think would be awesome.
[name_m]Justus[/name_m]/[name_u]Justice[/name_u]- I prefer [name_u]Justice[/name_u] but do think this one is pretty feminine. If that’s not an issue for you it definitely works.
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] it! Wolfie is adorable.
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u]! [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is an adorable nickname option.
[name_u]Cruz[/name_u]- Ok, I hate this one because all I can think of is [name_m]Nikolas[/name_m] [name_u]Cruz[/name_u], which is a super negative association. Honestly that tainted this name for me forever. I’m sure the association will fade for most people but I don’t like this name at all.

Unisex:
[name_u]Everest[/name_u]- One of my absolute favorites! I like it for a boy but [name_u]Ever[/name_u] seems feminine to me so idk.
