[name]Mavis[/name] - lovely! very on trend
[name]Guinevere[/name] - a lovely name but hard to wear, I’d go with [name]Gwen[/name], [name]Gwendolyn[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Gwyneth[/name]. But I definitely prefer it to a lot of the girls list

[name]Garnet[/name] - meh, a nice mn

[name]Reese[/name] - okay
[name]Zelpha[/name] [name]Dolores[/name] - meh

Wow- so many ideas here. [name]Do[/name] the asterisks mean anything?

[name]Mavis[/name]* - An acquired taste. I think it can be fabulous in a horn-rimmed glasses kind of way, but choosing it might limit future baby names, know what I mean? If you have a daughter named [name]Mavis[/name], you’d want a son named [name]Clark[/name] or [name]Harvey[/name], a second daughter named [name]Gladys[/name] or [name]Shirley[/name].
[name]Xanthe[/name] - An exotic but also minimal possibility. Too cold for me - reminds me of xanthum gum - though objectively I think it’s a good name. I much prefer [name]Xenia[/name].
[name]Finnegan[/name]* - Boy boy boy.
[name]Foster[/name] - Boy, beer, adoption.
[name]Guinevere[/name]* - Beautiful. So beautiful. Too beautiful? A bit damsel-in-distress… The options of nns [name]Gwen[/name] or [name]Winnie[/name] make it wearable.
[name]Garnet[/name] - I love this. Really interesting. Sparkly, but not over-the-top.
[name]Elliott[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]) - Not my style. [name]Blythe[/name] is great, but I detest [name]Ellie[/name].
[name]Everette[/name] [name]Bryce[/name] ([name]Evie[/name]) - I dislike the sound and the look of this one.
[name]Emerson[/name] [name]Estelle[/name] ([name]Emery[/name]) - I’m not wild about surname first-names, especially on girls. [name]Estelle[/name] is very pretty.
[name]Gannon[/name]* - What is [name]Gannon[/name]? Doesn’t feel “name-ish” to me. I think of backgammon.
[name]Raquel[/name] - Dated.
[name]Sagan[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name]* - [name]Ottilie[/name] is fabulous. [name]Sagan[/name] like [name]Carl[/name] [name]Sagan[/name]? If you’re really into astronomy/astrophysics, there are so many possibilities that might be prettier. Names of stars, types of stars, constellations… [name]Ottilie[/name] [name]Nova[/name]?
Sovannary [name]Ophelia[/name]* - Sovannary is quite a mouthful. I love the sound of [name]Ophelia[/name], though it’s too tragic for me.
[name]Rhiannon[/name] [name]Blake[/name]* - [name]Rhiannon[/name] is excellent excellent, though imo it needs a middle name that will brighten/lighten it, and [name]Blake[/name] is not that.
[name]Lennox[/name]* - No.
[name]Auden[/name] - Though I love WH [name]Auden[/name], I find it slightly strange as a first name. Close to [name]Aidan[/name], so I’d assume [name]Auden[/name] to be a boy.
[name]Thisbe[/name]* - Neat. I like this. Mythological and shadowy, but it also has really cheerful sounds, and the nn [name]Bee[/name].
[name]Isla[/name] - Overused, but lovely.
[name]Inez[/name]* - A good one. Like [name]Esme[/name], but without the pop-culture connection. I like [name]Agnes[/name] and Inés too.
[name]Collins[/name] - No!
Monti - For a boy, as [name]Montgomery[/name] nn [name]Monty[/name].
[name]Max[/name] - [name]Maxine[/name] nn [name]Max[/name] could be spunky, but [name]Max[/name] as a standalone girl name is unfortunate.
[name]Zelpha[/name] [name]Dolores[/name] (grandmothers names) - Clunky but kind of wonderful. I like the idea of a [name]Dolores[/name], who you call “[name]Dot[/name],” and who doesn’t love a Z-name? I love [name]Zelda[/name] even more. [name]Zelda[/name] [name]Dolores[/name], [name]Dolores[/name] [name]Zelpha[/name] “[name]Dot[/name].”
[name]Reese[/name] - The only female [name]Reese[/name] I know of is Witherspoon. I dislike it.

[name]Lincoln[/name]* - Sure. A bit predictable, but very sturdy and wearable.
[name]Sebastian[/name]* - Yes.
[name]Hollis[/name]* - Yes. [name]Love[/name] this- subtly tree-related, but clean and serious.
[name]Marshall[/name]* - Handsome, but I’m not so into the soldier connotations.
[name]Dermot[/name]* - I think “dirty varmint”
Theoren* - Theorem? No.
[name]Thaddeus[/name]* - A cool possibility. Part of the rugged-Biblical, complicated, old-mannish name trend. But it would need a similarly weighty sibling name.
[name]Beckett[/name]* - If I knew someone named [name]Beckett[/name], I would torment him with stupid jokes about existential angst. [name]Malone[/name] or [name]Murphy[/name] would be less pretentious.
[name]Conrad[/name] [name]Brandt[/name] - [name]Conrad[/name] yes. I find [name]Brandt[/name] very grating. [name]Bran[/name] perhaps? [name]Conrad[/name] [name]Bran[/name] would be lovely.
[name]Grant[/name] - Classic, handsome, presidential.
[name]Dean[/name] - Sexy, simple, retro.
[name]Jude[/name]* - Biblical and handsome, a bit safe for my taste.
[name]Wesley[/name]* - Sweet. Tender like [name]Timothy[/name], but cool and cowboyish at the same time.
[name]Graham[/name]* - Modern and old-fashioned at once. Quite nice.
[name]Harrison[/name] - I’m not wild about the sound. Too suit-and-tie for me… but a perfectly acceptable name.
[name]Reed[/name] - Sleek, organic, minimal. Nice.

[name]Mavis[/name]* -It’s pretty nice,
[name]Xanthe[/name] -I think it would cause too many problems
[name]Finnegan[/name]* -For a boy, sure.
[name]Foster[/name] -For a boy.
[name]Guinevere[/name]* -[name]Love[/name] this name! Guin is such a cute nickname!
[name]Garnet[/name] -Middle name potential
[name]Elliott[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]) -There are so many nice girl names to get to [name]Ellie[/name]. Leave [name]Elliot[/name] to the boys.
[name]Everette[/name] [name]Bryce[/name] ([name]Evie[/name]) - Same as [name]Elliot[/name]. So many nicer ways to get to [name]Evie[/name] than a boy’s name! (for example- [name]Evelyn[/name])
[name]Emerson[/name] [name]Estelle[/name] ([name]Emery[/name]) - [name]Estelle[/name] is nice, but [name]EmerSON[/name] is all boy.
[name]Gannon[/name]- Boy’s name. [name]Gannon[/name] was also a gross bad guy in the legend of [name]Zelda[/name] series.
[name]Raquel[/name] -I like it. Has potential.
[name]Sagan[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name] - [name]Ottilie[/name] is super nice! I have no good feelings for [name]Sagan[/name].
Sovannary [name]Ophelia[/name]* -no.
[name]Rhiannon[/name] [name]Blake[/name]* -It’s okay. I don’t like [name]Rhiannon[/name]. I’ve always thought it sounded like Rhiannah’s frumpy cousin
[name]Lennox[/name]- boy
[name]Auden[/name] -sounds like a boy’s name. What about [name]Arden[/name]?
[name]Thisbe[/name] -It’s okay
[name]Isla[/name] -I like this name :slight_smile:
[name]Inez[/name]* -for some reason I picture a huge nose when I hear this name
[name]Collins[/name] -It’s a surname. Very manly, it sounds like [name]Colin[/name].
Monti -[name]Monte[/name] is a lovely name- let’s leave it to the boys.
[name]Max[/name] -If it’s shot for [name]Maxine[/name].
[name]Zelpha[/name] [name]Dolores[/name] -I actually really like this! Very pretty and unique.
[name]Reese[/name]- The only girl [name]Reese[/name] I’ve heard of is Ms.Witherspoon. I don’t like it either way.

BOYS:

[name]Lincoln[/name]* -Cute! I love the nickname [name]Linc[/name]!
[name]Sebastian[/name]-[name]Love[/name] love love!
[name]Hollis[/name] -Kind of reminds me of shortened Hollister
[name]Marshall[/name]* -I like this name. It’s pretty nice, but kind of clunky.
[name]Dermot[/name]-I think of dermatitis when I see this. What about [name]McDermott[/name]? Since you like surname names.
Theoren -Like a theorem? I like [name]Theron[/name] much better.
[name]Thaddeus[/name]-It’s kind of like a mix between [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Christos[/name]. It’s all right.
[name]Beckett[/name] -Bucket
[name]Conrad[/name] [name]Brandt[/name] -Too country for me. I hate the name [name]Conrad[/name].
[name]Grant[/name]- It doesn’t do anything for me. It’s okay.
[name]Dean[/name]-Simple, but still very cute.
[name]Jude[/name]-I like this name a lot. Hey [name]Jude[/name] is one of my favourite songs.
[name]Wesley[/name]-I do like this name a LOT
[name]Graham[/name]*-Too old man-ish for me. I’m biased, though.
[name]Harrison[/name]-I like this. But I don’t like the [name]Harry[/name] nickname
[name]Reed[/name]- Too short, nms.

Of your girls names I only like [name]Ottilie[/name], [name]Emerson[/name] / [name]Emery[/name], and [name]Zelpha[/name]. Most of the rest are either a bit over the top for me or way too boyish. I would love some of them as your boys options.

Of your boys names, I like [name]Harrison[/name] and [name]Reed[/name], though I prefer the [name]Reid[/name] spelling. I moderately like [name]Thaddeus[/name] and [name]Conrad[/name]. [name]Lincoln[/name] wears a tall hat, Theoren wields a battle axe, [name]Sebastian[/name] is a French crab, [name]Dermot[/name] is a dermatologist or a dirty varmint, [name]Beckett[/name] kicks the bucket, [name]Wesley[/name] is wimpy, [name]Jude[/name] is one rude dude, [name]Dean[/name] works at the college and his first name is [name]Jimmy[/name] and now I’m hungry for sausages. I would like [name]Brandt[/name] if he hadn’t been branded, [name]Graham[/name] if he weren’t a cracker, and [name]Marshall[/name] if he didn’t lead a double life as a drill sergeant and a department store. [name]Hollis[/name] is a girls name to me.

[name]Just[/name] my associations; it’s all about personal preference. If you like [name]Brandt[/name] and [name]Graham[/name], you might like [name]Braham[/name] for a suggestion. Good luck!

He sure does have a long list, that’s really great that he is so interested in helping with the naming process!

Girls:
From your list the only ones that I think are beautiful are: [name]Raquel[/name] and [name]Mavis[/name]. [name]Mavis[/name] has the vintage charm and [name]Raquel[/name] is very feminine and sassy.
Many of the names are clearly boy names and I can guarantee the first thing a teahcer does when they call role and see a boy name is assume that the student is a boy. Instead of [name]Everette[/name] with nn [name]Evie[/name] how about [name]Evelyn[/name] with that nn? Instead of [name]Elliott[/name] with nn [name]Ellie[/name] how about [name]Ellie[/name] or [name]Eloise[/name] with nn [name]Ellie[/name]?

Boys:
From the boys list I like:
[name]Lincoln[/name] - Strong sounding
[name]Sebastian[/name] - This name is really starting to grow on me
[name]Marshall[/name] - Reminds me of a funny outgoing person
[name]Thaddeus[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Grant[/name] - Reminds me of old time Hollywood glamour
[name]Dean[/name] - This is a great name
[name]Jude[/name] - Like it a lot
[name]Wesley[/name] - Handsome
[name]Harrison[/name] - Like it
[name]Reed[/name] - Great choice

Some of your “unisex” girls names are still a little too masculine for mine…and I like boys names on girls! Here are my favorites from your husband’s list: [name]Mavis[/name], [name]Blythe[/name], Sovannary, [name]Lennox[/name], [name]Auden[/name]. Also, from your boy’s list, I really like [name]Hollis[/name] and I prefer it on a girl.

And for boys: [name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Thaddeus[/name], [name]Conrad[/name], [name]Jude[/name], and [name]Reid[/name] (prefer this to [name]Reed[/name]). Also check out [name]Branton[/name], you might like it (it’s my dad’s name so I’m obviously biased, but I prefer it to [name]Brandt[/name])

[name]Elliott[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]) - [name]Elliott[/name] for a girl? Absolutely not. It’s wretched on a girl. [name]Blythe[/name] is cute, though.
[name]Everette[/name] [name]Bryce[/name] ([name]Evie[/name]) - Ugh. Another one I can’t get behind. What about [name]Evangeline[/name] nn [name]Evie[/name]?

[name]Raquel[/name] - Eh, it’s okay.
