[name]Bridgett[/name]* - I agree that I don’t like the spelling but I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]!
[name]Nyla[/name] – It’s ok.
[name]Gracie[/name] - Too cutesy. It’s fine as a nn but I think [name]Grace[/name] would have been a better given name.
[name]Millie[/name] - Again, I only like this as a nn.
[name]Vivyan[/name] and [name]Lillyan[/name] – Ugh, those spellings are terrible. I do NOT understand the whole replacing random vowels with a y thing.
[name]Asher[/name] – On a girl?! No!!!
[name]Pacey[/name] - Too [name]Dawson[/name]'s Creek for me. I never even watched the show and that’s all I think of.

[name]Kinsly[/name] - I think they missed a letter in there…
[name]Kaeden[/name] - This is my friend’s son’s name. Same spelling and everything. I hate hate hate it on a girl.
Jalaina – It’s ok.
[name]Lorin[/name] - I like [name]Lauren[/name], but not really this spelling.
Siboney - What is this name? Is it a cultural name? Or something someone made up to sound cultural?
[name]Laney[/name] - [name]Don[/name]‘t like as a given name, maybe as a nn.
[name]Adam[/name] – On a girl?! Wtf?!
[name]Kinley[/name] - See earlier comments.
Aarya – Hmm. It’s not terrible but I don’t like it that much either.
[name]Daija[/name] – I feel like this could be an [name]Indian[/name] name or something, so I almost like it.
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - A normal name!!!
[name]Harper[/name] - Trendy but acceptable.
Anntionett* – What’s with the weird spelling?
[name]Gabriella[/name] - Normal. Prefer [name]Gabrielle[/name], but this is fine.
[name]Ki[/name]’[name]Yanna[/name] – Ugh. Apostrophes make me sad.

Boy

[name]Logan[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Edwin[/name]* - I kinda like it. It’s NMS but you don’t hear it much.
[name]Ben[/name]* - I’m not the biggest fan of nns as given first names, but this isn’t too bad.
[name]Mason[/name] - NMS but nice.
[name]Angel[/name] – NMS but it’s alright.
[name]Zander[/name]* - Actually kinda like it!
[name]Karson[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like it with a K.
[name]Andy[/name] - See [name]Ben[/name].
[name]George[/name] - Not bad. A classic that you don’t hear anymore.
[name]Evan[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Brayden[/name] - I wish people would spell it [name]Braden[/name], because I [name]LOVE[/name] it spelled like that!
[name]Kyle[/name] - I like it but I know soooo many guys my age with that name, even one girl (hate the name on a girl though, haha).
[name]Keigan[/name] - A fine name, hate the spelling though.
[name]Alexander[/name]** - [name]Love[/name]!
Navbir – Is this cultural? Seems like it could be.
[name]Cayden[/name] - I wouldn’t mind [name]Caden[/name]. I strongly prefer that spelling. But anyways, I feel like it’s kinda overused.

[name]Jonathan[/name] - A classic.
[name]Michael[/name] - Another classic.
[name]Teddy[/name]* - Fine as a nn, [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]!

[Dantea]

I note of [name]Daija[/name] – Nameberry says it’s a spelling variant of the French name [name]Deja[/name] like [name]Deja[/name] Vu.

Navbir is cultural, Siboney didn’t seem cultural.

Also, [name]Angel[/name] was probably Hispanic as [name]Angel[/name] is mostly a Hispanic male name, in which case it would be pronounced ahn-hell instead of [name]Angel[/name] like my name.

The boys list was so much better than the girls.

[rachel27]

There IS a male [name]Angel[/name] in [name]Tess[/name] of the D’Urberville’s, I think. But I kind of hate all of those names. [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Millie[/name] aren’t bad, and I suppose [name]Edwin[/name], [name]Mason[/name], [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Evan[/name], and [name]Sawyer[/name] are okay, too. [name]Harper[/name], [name]Shawn[/name], [name]Gillian[/name], [name]Vivyan[/name] and [name]Lillyan[/name] (if spelled correctly) aren’t really that bad.
But Jalaina, [name]Ki[/name]’[name]Yanna[/name], Aarya, [name]Kinley[/name], etc kind of make me cringe. Overall, I much prefer the boys list.

[lovejaybayy]

Lol! I’m not even gonna comment on these names. Most of them are so bad. WHERE do you live? A lot of them sound extremely ghetto. Especially a lot of the girl’s. It’s about the same down here in [name]Louisiana[/name] actually…

[name]Millie[/name] - it’s cute but I don’t like as a full name.
[name]Vivyan[/name] and [name]Lillyan[/name] – I don’t like these spellings either and a little matchy together (although I don[t think they sound terrible).

[name]Gabriella[/name] -nice name.

Boy

[name]Teddy[/name]* as a nickname -only like as a nn, but prefer [name]Ned[/name] or [name]Ted[/name]. [name]Teddy[/name] sounds kind of childish on a grown man.

[noahsark]

[name]Adam[/name] for a girl must be a printing mistake on the newspaper’s behalf. Please?

[Dantea]

It was a web nursery with pictures and full details of the babies, so i’m not sure if it could be a mistake, but I was hoping too

Also, I live in [name]Little[/name] [name]Rock[/name], Arkansas to the person who asked.

[lovejaybayy]

Ahh, well I’m pretty sure that I live in a more ghetto (ghetto-er?) city than you lol

[saramee]

Thank you so much for posting this. [name]Love[/name] birth announcements! I’ll be sure to check out the newspaper from my hometown tomorrow or [name]Monday[/name] when they publish all the births from [name]May[/name].

The town where I now live doesn’t publish a long list - there are just a few published at a time. Last week there was one that made me cringe. It was [name]Tarra[/name] Mesu. I assume the parents love Italian food…

However, there was also a little boy whose parents gave him a name I adore - [name]Atticus[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] (last name started with an Mc). I love it!

Cool! I love stuff like this. Here are my thoughts! (Sorry if anyone finds them too harsh!)

Girl

[name]Jaylene[/name] – hate.
[name]Fiona[/name] – moms name is Hirankon, – Nice, Hirankon could be cool too, I’m assuming it’s not English, I want to say Japanese, but that’s just a guess.
[name]Bridgett[/name]* not the spelling – I don’t like the spelling either, but I do like [name]Bridget/name
[name]Nyla[/name] – moms name is [name]Keyana[/name] – [name]Don[/name]'t like. [name]Don[/name]'t like [name]Keyana[/name] either.
[name]Gracie[/name] – Make it [name]Grace[/name], call her [name]Gracie[/name], and I like it a lot, despite its popularity.
[name]Millie[/name] – Too nicknamey for my taste, but better than a lot of these names.
[name]Vivyan[/name] and [name]Lillyan[/name] – moms name is Abbegaile – absolutely agree that [name]Vivian[/name] & [name]Lillian[/name] are nice names, [name]Vivyan[/name] & [name]Lillyan[/name] spelt like this and together, however is awful, in my opinion, and spelling beautiful [name]Abigail[/name] - Abbegaile, is frightening.
[name]Asher[/name] – hate this on a girl, love it on a boy – completely agree. PLEASE STOP STEALING THE NICE BOY NAMES FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS PEOPLE!
[name]Pacey[/name] – [name]Don[/name]'t like, sounds made up.
[name]Charleigh[/name] - Make it [name]Charlotte[/name], call her [name]Charlie[/name], and it’s okay. [name]Charleigh[/name], is awful.
[name]Gillian[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. Especailly this spelling, I have a cousin who spells it this way and I [name]LOVE[/name] it. <3
Brynna - Hate
Chaynler - Really Hate. Very made up sounding.
Kingslee – why would you name a girl King? Nope. Never. Or AlliSON, or EmmerSON, or any of those either. Plus this is just a weird name…
Keahton - Don’t like at ALL.
Kinley - Hate.
Kinsly - Hate.
Kaeden - Really hate, I wish the -ayden/aydon/aeden/aedon/aiden/aidon/aden/adon trend would end, and now it’s spreading to the girls, ugh.
Jalaina – moms name was Tonekia - … I don’t like it.
Lorin - Lauren?
Siboney - Don’t like at all, sounds made up.
Laney - As a nickname for Elena or Elaine, maybe.
Adam - it’s okay, at least its a legitimate name that’s spelt correctly… oh wait. I’m still in the girl section… HATE.
Kinley - What is with the K names people??
Aarya – moms name was Ami… Aria? :S Don’t like it.
Daija – Daija Vu? LOL Daija Vu! That’s fantastic!
Elizabeth - I like it.
Harper - NMS
Anntionett* – love the name, hate the spelling – I agree completely.
Gabriella - NMS
Ki’Yanna – moms name was Shermaine - REALLY don’t like.

Boy

Logan - NMS, but decent
Edwin* - ** I agree
Ben* but as a nickname - Make it Benjamin, or Benoit, or Bennett or Benedict and it’s adorable
Mason - NMS
Angel – moms name was Beatris – NMS
Zander* but as a nickname - I agree, make it Alexander
Karson - Hate
Andy - nickname.
George - Cool! This kids going to be a cool kid, I can tell.
Evan - NMS
Brayden - Hate.
Kyle - Okay
Keigan - Eh
Alexander** -
Navbir – moms name is Surjit - I’m assuming this is an actual name in a culture that I’m unfamiliar with, in which case it’s cool.
Cayden - Stop it with the ayden’s already!
Connor - Eh
Sawyer - NMS
Tatum - NMS
Brandon* - Okay
Kace - NMS
Shawn - NMS
Maddox - NMS
Jonathan - Bad personal association, therefore, NMS
Michael - epidemically popular for… ever… but other than that it’s fine
Teddy* as a nickname - make it Theodore and I love it.

Well there’s my take on it, I hope I wasn’t too harsh, I certainly don’t mean to offend anyone!
