Here are some recent babies’s names I came across near where I live:
FEMALE
[name]Rainbow[/name]
[name]Sephora[/name]
[name]Dayton[/name]
[name]Ryne[/name]
[name]Honor[/name]
Hyland
[name]London[/name]
[name]Skye[/name]
[name]Dresden[/name]
[name]Empress[/name]
[name]True[/name]
[name]Briar[/name]
[name]Venus[/name]
[name]Dawson[/name]
[name]MALE[/name]
Zealand
[name]Atlas[/name]
[name]Ulysses[/name]
[name]Rune[/name]
[name]Orion[/name]
Paarus
[name]Fallon[/name]
[name]Rainbow[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like, a hippie stereotype
[name]Sephora[/name] - The sound is okay but I wouldn’t want my child sharing a name with that store.
[name]Dayton[/name] - Very boy imo
[name]Ryne[/name] - Looks like [name]Ryan[/name], strongly dislike on a girl
[name]Honor[/name] - I like it very much for either sex.
Hyland - Would like on a boy but not on a girl
[name]London[/name] - Okay but a negative association with that annoying character on “The Suite Life with [name]Zach[/name] and [name]Cody[/name]”
[name]Skye[/name] - I like it somewhat
[name]Dresden[/name] - Would like on a boy but not a girl
[name]Empress[/name] - Oh, no. [name]Way[/name] over the top. I’d be so embarrassed if this was my name, I’d probably change it.
[name]True[/name] - I would really like it on a boy
[name]Briar[/name] - Not on a girl, “meh” for a boy
[name]Venus[/name] - I like it but am concerned about the rhyme with “penis”
[name]Dawson[/name] - No, sounds like a boy and just makes me think of [name]Dawson[/name]'s Creek.
[name]MALE[/name]
Zealand - Interesting, I think I like it
[name]Atlas[/name] - Torn because it is a neat namesake but I also think of “[name]Atlas[/name] Shrugged” and I think [name]Ayn[/name] [name]Rand[/name] was a bit nuts.
[name]Ulysses[/name] - Okay, I like that it is a president’s name, but don’t care for the look or sound much
[name]Rune[/name] - As in LOTR runes? I don’t think so because it sounds like ruin as in “ruined my life”…not good
[name]Orion[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it
Paarus - Too strange looking
[name]Fallon[/name] - I like [name]Jimmy[/name] [name]Fallon[/name] but it also looks like fall, fallen, or failing, so I am torn on this one.
FEMALE
[name]Rainbow[/name] - I prefer just [name]Rain[/name].
[name]Sephora[/name] - This is a variant of Tzipporah, a Biblical name. [name]Sephora[/name] is probably prettier than the [name]Zipporah[/name] spelling.
[name]Dayton[/name] - Dislike.
[name]Ryne[/name] - To rhyme with tine? Strange, but not unpleasant.
[name]Honor[/name] - Not my style but not bad.
Hyland - No.
[name]London[/name] - Ugh.
[name]Skye[/name] - Ugh.
[name]Dresden[/name] - No.
[name]Empress[/name] - Not impressed.
[name]True[/name] - [name]Verity[/name] would have been prettier.
[name]Briar[/name] - I love this one, its on my own list.
[name]Venus[/name] - There’s only some goddess names I like, not this one.
[name]Dawson[/name] - “I don’t want to wait! For our lives to be over! I want to know right now, what will it be…”
[name]MALE[/name]
Zealand - No.
[name]Atlas[/name] - [name]Love[/name]
[name]Ulysses[/name] - [name]Love[/name].
[name]Rune[/name] - Not my style but not as bad as some.
[name]Orion[/name] - Like a lot.
Paarus - I like double a’s but I don’t know how to say this.
[name]Fallon[/name] - The ones I’ve known have been girls. It’s too surname-y for me for either unless its a family name.
So out of all of those, the only ones I cared for were [name]Atlas[/name] and [name]Orion[/name].
When I hear [name]Dresden[/name], all I can think of is how many people died in the firebombings. I would hate to have that name.
[name]Skye[/name] and Briar are very nice to me. [name]Both[/name] on my list.
I’m actually digging Hyland after seeing it here but for a boy.
Hyland Farms is a local (midwest US) supplier of dairy products. The names makes me think of milk and cottage cheese. I like Zealand, [name]Atlas[/name] and [name]Ulysses[/name] (after the epic hero, not the Pres. so much).
