Boys

  1. [name]Reason[/name]

  3. [name]Walden[/name]
  4. [name]Thornton[/name]
  5. [name]Lysander[/name]

What do you think?

Girls: I can’t see [name]Cinderella[/name], Tandoori (just makes me hungry), [name]Bloodrayne[/name] as legit names to use. Sorry. [name]Chrysanthemum[/name] is pretty, though I don’t care for the nn [name]Chris[/name]/[name]Kris[/name]/[name]Chrys[/name]. [name]Bellatrix[/name] is lovely, though I am sure you’d get lots of “LeStrange” [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] comments.

Boys: I actually really love [name]Ransom[/name], [name]Walden[/name], and [name]Thornton[/name]. [name]Lysander[/name] is okay, and I don’t particularly like [name]Reason[/name] but could perhaps be talked around to it.

I think [name]Astoria[/name], [name]Walden[/name], Thorton and [name]Lysander[/name] could work.

Actually, I see all your boys’ names as usable, some rather in the middle place, but they work. The most questionable one [name]IMO[/name] is [name]Reason[/name]. The meaning and the sound, too (rhymes with treason). But I like it best of them all…so… ??
Your girls’… Oooo I have this secret love for [name]Bloodrayne[/name] too (not so secret anymore), but I thought I was the only one. What is it with this name? Why do I like it, but wish I wouldn’t?? Lol about Tandoori. [name]Cinderella[/name] is cool, one of my GPs is Cinder. Oh, and [name]Chrysanthemum[/name], swoon.

[name]Cinderella[/name], Tandoori and [name]Chrysanthemum[/name] (in Denmark, some of our deathliest fireworks are called “chrysanthemum bombs”) would be a stretch. [name]Bloodrayne[/name] sounds like an ASOIAF surname or house word, so obviously I think it’s cool but probably a bit out there, perhaps it could be used as a middle (says the girl who’s a sucker for [name]Penn[/name] [name]Jillette[/name]'s daughter’s middle name, Crimefighter). [name]Astoria[/name] isn’t bad, that could definitely work.

I don’t like either [name]Reason[/name] or [name]Ransom[/name] but the other three aren’t too out there.

I have actually met a [name]Cinderella[/name]! (I love my job, meet so many women with interesting names!)
Tandoori just makes me think of food, but I could see the appeal if it weren’t a food!
[name]Bloodrayne[/name]… oh dear…
[name]Chrysanthemum[/name], it’s cute, but I would go for the more accessible Chrysanthe.
[name]Astoria[/name] nn [name]Story[/name] is really cute in my opinion!

[name]Reason[/name] sounds like a virtue name of sorts?
[name]Ransom[/name] reminds me of a starship captain, but sounds almost a bit violent for a child??
[name]Walden[/name], nothing overtly wrong with this name actually, just not my style!
[name]Thornton[/name], [name]Billy[/name] [name]Bob[/name]?
[name]Lysander[/name] is a great name, but too feminine for my taste when it comes to boys, I opted for [name]Evander[/name] instead!

[name]Reason[/name] is one of my GPs for boys, too! I like it, but it’s iffy, and I’d stay away from [name]Ransom[/name], but the rest of your boys’ list is usable, [name]IMO[/name]. Same with [name]Astoria[/name]. [name]Chrysanthemum[/name] is borderline, and I wouldn’t want to be [name]Cinderella[/name], but I know there are some out there.

Tandoori and [name]Bloodrayne[/name]…best left as GPs, no question. Tandoori does have a neat sound; maybe a name like [name]Tanwen[/name] or Karuna would appeal to you. Similar sounds, not so foody.

[name]Cinderella[/name] - This is one of mine too! It’s beautiful but can you imagine how much she’d get teased? [name]Even[/name] though she ends up with the prince?
Tandoori - I’ve never heard this but I like it!
[name]Bloodrayne[/name] - Obviously isnt usable so I’m glad that its on your GP!! ahah
[name]Chrysanthemum[/name] - This is pretty but [name]OTT[/name]
[name]Astoria[/name] - [name]Astoria[/name] is beautiful! I think [name]Astoria[/name] is the most usable on your girls list. It’s pretty :slight_smile:

[name]Reason[/name] - I like this too but would never use this. It’s cool
[name]Ransom[/name] - I like this one too! [name]Ransom[/name]… its just awesome. I wouldn’t use it though either
[name]Walden[/name] - I think this one is usable! NMS but I would think it was pretty cool if I met a baby [name]Walden[/name].
[name]Thornton[/name] - I see why this is a GP for you. Its handsome but too surnamey and reminds me of the chocolate shop!
[name]Lysander[/name] - This is totally usable! I know 2 Lysanders actually. [name]One[/name] is 17 (I think) and one is 4 months. They both wear it well and the older one likes it and his NN is [name]Andy[/name].
