This was a lot of fun! I wish more people would do this.
[name_f]Amaia[/name_f]- It’s ok. Never been a huge fan of the Am/An/[name_m]Al[/name_m] -iya-aya-aia names, if you known what I mean (think [name_f]Aniyah[/name_f], [name_f]Aliyah[/name_f], etc)
[name_f]Amalia[/name_f]- Never been a huge fan. I prefer [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] despite its popularity.
[name_f]Amanda[/name_f]- Too dated for me.
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f]- I love this! It combines two of my favorite sounds, “[name_f]Anna[/name_f]” and “[name_f]Lise[/name_f]”.
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]- I like this. Definitely prefer it to [name_f]Arabella[/name_f].
[name_f]Aster[/name_f]- Okay.
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f]- Okay.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]- Pretty! I probably prefer [name_f]Aurora[/name_f].
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]- [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s been popular for centuries, I feel like it’s been through the wash too many times. Might be time to give it a rest for now. I like it as a middle though.
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u]! Short, sweet, and beautiful. Also love [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this classic! So popular though
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this floral name!
[name_u]Denali[/name_u]- Too masculine? Too trying-to-be-hipster in my opinion 
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this classic!
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this one too!
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]- Not a fan.
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]- I like this, but I prefer [name_f]Elise[/name_f].
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]- Cute, but -son names aren’t really my style.
[name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]- I love the meaning behind this name, and Hispanic names in general.
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]- Too weird? No! I love this name and the meaning behind this name, “Mother [name_f]Earth[/name_f]”. Might even prefer it to [name_f]Gia[/name_f].
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this classic! When I think of [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], I think of sun, beach and peaches. [name_u]Love[/name_u].
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f]- Not a fan. Too 90s-ish to me.
[name_f]Holiday[/name_f]- Not a fan. I love simple and sweet [name_f]Holly[/name_f], though!
[name_u]Holland[/name_u]-No, see [name_f]Holiday[/name_f].
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]- I think of the college in Pretty [name_m]Little[/name_m] Liars lol. See [name_f]Holiday[/name_f].
[name_f]Indira[/name_f]- Growing on me, but I like [name_f]India[/name_f]/[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] better.
[name_f]Izabella[/name_f]- I don’t like [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], so don’t bother suggesting it. Ok, then I won’t but you know what I’m thinking. When I see [name_f]Izabella[/name_f], I think, why are you messing with a beautiful and classic name? Go [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] or go home
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f]- This is becoming a lot more popular in UK, but hasn’t hit the US yet. Maybe because we have Aunt [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] syrup. It’s cute, though!
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]- Beautiful!
[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]- I like it! Would be best as a nickname for [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f].
[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u]! I’m not a fan of [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], but [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] is unique and beautiful. [name_u]Love[/name_u] how it’s a flower.
Jullienn-I dropped the extra e because of the cooking thing. No…Definitely prefer [name_u]Julianne[/name_u] or [name_f]Juliana[/name_f]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] [name_f]Julienne[/name_f] is better; most people probably won’t get the cooking reference- I didn’t.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]- Absolutely love!
[name_f]Kirstin[/name_f]- Again, too 80s/90s-ish to me.
[name_f]Lillia[/name_f]- Pretty, but I definitely prefer [name_f]Lila[/name_f]/[name_f]Lily[/name_f].
[name_f]Lilium[/name_f]- Not a fan. Reminds me of lithium lol. Definitely prefer the beautiful [name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]/[name_f]Liliana[/name_f].
[name_u]Lindsay[/name_u]- Too dated for me. Also too “cutesy” blond twenty-something lol
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f]- I don’t know how I feel about this name. It’s grown on me since I’ve learned it’s not pronounced “[name_f]Laura[/name_f]-lay” lol.
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]- I like this! Sounds so graceful.
Lucillia- I like this a lot! I also like [name_f]Lucille[/name_f].
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u], but unfortunately this spelling is so popular. I prefer the rhyming-with-vine pronunciation, not the lynn one.
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]- Absolutely love! A favorite.
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]- Cute! Prefer it to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]- I love it! Waiting for it to become popular in the US…
[name_u]Matisse[/name_u]- Too masculine? It would be kind of cool to be named after a famous artist.
[name_f]Mazarine[/name_f]- Not my style. Sounds a little made-up to me.
[name_f]Mercedes[/name_f]- Too car-ish? I think so, even though it has some popularity as a name. Not my style though.
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u]. Short, sweet, and classic.
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]- This one’s okay. I love O names, but this one’s probably not one I would use.
[name_f]Oriole[/name_f]- Unsure…at first I thought it was the constellation, but that’s [name_u]Orion[/name_u] lol. [name_f]Oriole[/name_f] is a bird, and I’m not sure if it works like [name_u]Robin[/name_u] or [name_u]Wren[/name_u] have.
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]- When I google it, all that comes up is an alcoholic drink. Probably a no-go then.
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]- This has grown on me since I found out it was [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] Middleton’s real name. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] nn “[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]”!
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] only.
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]- Absolutely love! Especially to get to [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a nickname.
[name_m]Quill[/name_m]- No. I think of a quill pen.
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]- Not really my style.
[name_u]Reagan[/name_u]- Cute, but [name_u]Reagan[/name_u]-esque names are not my style. I prefer more floral/classic/feminine sounding names.
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]- Never been a fan. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the candy though
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]- [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] has never been one of my favorite-sounding names, but I love its history.
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f]- I don’t like this one. It’s popular on NB, but for some reason it doesn’t sound much like a name to be. I’m also not a fan of -y names.
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]- This is really pretty!
[name_f]Rosaline[/name_f]- Would you pronounce it rhyming with bin or vine? I like it rhyming with vine a lot!
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]- You can’t go wrong with the classic [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I might prefer it in a name ([name_f]Primrose[/name_f] is my favorite right now).
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f]- Another popular NB name, but I’m not a fan.
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]- Not my style.
[name_f]September[/name_f]- Too odd? [name_u]Love[/name_u] the month, but not sure it works as a name.
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] love love! [name_u]Love[/name_u] the sounds.
[name_u]Sequoia[/name_u]- What a beautiful name! I love nature names, and this is definitely a fresh option.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]- Beautiful. It’s getting super popular though.
[name_f]Tempest[/name_f]- A no-go for me. It reminds me of Temptress, which was talked about in Freakonomics (really good read).
[name_f]Topanga[/name_f]- What’s the origin behind this?
[name_f]Turquoise[/name_f]- Different, but I love the color so much, I like it.
[name_f]Vada[/name_f]- I like it! Always have liked it since I watched My Girl.
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]- I like it! Lots of nickname potential.
[name_f]Violetta[/name_f]- I like this a lot! [name_m]Just[/name_m] as beautiful as [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
[name_f]Viviana[/name_f]- This is beautiful.
[name_u]Zola[/name_u]- I like this! I might still prefer [name_f]Lola[/name_f].
