[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f] – [name_f]Bella[/name_f] is a cute nickname, but I’ve never been a fan of [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] - especially now that it’s used so frequently!
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f] – Not my style, but it’s not bad
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - I prefer the more simple [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], but this is pretty
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - Pretty! Not something I would personally use, but I think it’s beautiful!
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] - [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] this. My favorite on your list!
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - I’m still not over the ‘Friends’ reference on this one, but it’s not bad!

We have nearly opposite tastes in boy names (I like short, usually quite masculine names), but I’ll give it a go…

Boys :
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] - Twilight fan? It’s not my style at all
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] - I have a hard time seeing a little boy pull this off. That’s where my mind always goes - a little boy on the little league team, a high school boy playing soccer, a college student on the dean’s list, a name on his office door.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u] - I’ve been warming up to [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], but I still have a hard time picturing someone actually wearing it. [name_u]Gus[/name_u] is cute.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] - See [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Christian[/name_m] - This is cute, classic, very wearable. A nice choice
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] - By far my favorite on your list!
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] - I’m neutral on this name!

Possible list :

[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] - Eh, I’m not a huge fan
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - This is adorable. I think it’s going to get a huge popularity boost!
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] nn Mem or [name_u]Remy[/name_u] - I really dislike [name_f]Remember[/name_f], but both Mem and [name_u]Remy[/name_u] are adorable. I have a friend with a daughter named [name_u]Memphis[/name_u], goes by Mem.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m] - This is OK, a lot of teasing potential for a boy going through school though
[name_m]Deveraux[/name_m] - This is a hall at our local university, it’s not bad but I tad frilly, [name_f]IMO[/name_f]
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] - Ok
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m] - Very fussy, but not terrible
[name_m]Valor[/name_m] - Another name I think will get a boost this year…I usually dislike value names, but this is not bad

Good luck & [name_f]Happy[/name_f] naming!

[tigermama527]

Girls :

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f]: [name_m]Way[/name_m] too popular and instantly reminds me of twilight so I’m not a fan at all.
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f]: Makes me think of 50 Shades of [name_u]Grey[/name_u] and is too frilly for me.
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]: Seems made up.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]: [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] by itself yes but I don’t like this combo.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]: This is very pretty and it would be on my short list by my husband isn’t a fan.
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] yes. This name I’m not a fan of though.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: Seems dated.

Boys :
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]: Not a fan.
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]: Definitely not a fan.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u]: [name_u]August[/name_u] yes but no to this combo.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]: I like this.
[name_m]Christian[/name_m]: I like this.
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]: I like this.
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]: Has always seemed girly to me.

Possible list :

[name_f]Alaska[/name_f]: Not a fan at all.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]: My husband likes this but I’m not sure how I feel.
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] nn Mem or [name_u]Remy[/name_u]: [name_u]Remy[/name_u] on its own is fine but [name_f]Remember[/name_f] as a first name is just not okay.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]: It’s too much.
[name_m]Deveraux[/name_m]: Seems like it’s trying too hard.
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]: [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m] as a middle name.
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m]: It’s too much.
[name_m]Valor[/name_m]: Cool as a middle name.

[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] (not for a first)

[southern.maple]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] - very lovely, but I prefer [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] or [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] - too frilly for me and bad personal association
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] - I would love, love, love to see this gem used
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - I prefer the simplicity of [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], but [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] is lovely as well
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - the only [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] I’ve ever met was incredibly snooty, and it’s hard for me to get that impression out of my head
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] - just use [name_f]Emily[/name_f] or [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - lovely, strong, and slightly quirky

[name_m]Edward[/name_m] - love it
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] - only as a middle name
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] - far too pretentious for me; I prefer [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] - I would love to see this used. If we can do [name_m]Julian[/name_m], why not [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]?
[name_m]Christian[/name_m] - feels a little overdone to me
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] - love it
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] - dated

I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] from your “maybe” list. I love [name_m]Valor[/name_m] and [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] as well, but only as middles.

[HarderToBreathe]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f]- I like it, but it is really popular around me, so it is somewhat boring to me. I prefer [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] as a nickname, because I know a lot of Bellas.
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f]- I love it, and wish I could use but I can’t due to family reasons. I think it is regal sounding. I also like the nickname [name_f]Sissy[/name_f], I think it is cute.
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]- Prefer this to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. it is so unexpected and beautiful and sophisticated sounding.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]- I like it. I prefer [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], it is less fussy. But I like [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]. It is definitely classy sounding.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]- [name_f]Love[/name_f]. I think it so feminine and cute without being to princessy. I have it on my list. I like the nickname [name_f]Evie[/name_f].
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]- I have this one on my list too. I like it, but prefer [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. I love the nickname [name_f]Milly[/name_f] for it.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]- I’m crushing on this one right now. I really love it, it is on my list. I think it is feminine without being frilly, love the moon imagery. [name_f]Love[/name_f] it.
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]- I’ve never liked this one. It is really formal and boring sounding to me. Twilight didn’t help this image for me.
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]- I think it is really grand, not sure if that is a good thing or bad. It is a big name for someone to carry.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u]- I’m warming up to this one. I really love [name_u]Gus[/name_u], but [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] is so long and grand, but I’m starting to like it.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]- Not a fan. I think it sounds a bit feminine, even though I know it isn’t a girl’s name (I think it is the [name_f]Dori[/name_f] sound).
[name_m]Christian[/name_m]- I like it. I’m really used to it because it is my brother’s name, so it isn’t the most exciting name for me.
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]- I’m warming up to this one too. I really like the sound. I would love to meet a little [name_m]Gideon[/name_m].
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]- I like it. I had a best friend in elementary school with this name, so I get a good feeling from it. I like how it has the literary/history connection, but it is still laid back.
Possible list :
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f]- I can’t get over the fact that it is a state. I don’t really like the sound of it. And their was a girl on Toddlers and [name_f]Tiara[/name_f]'s with this name, so that is what I think of.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]- [name_f]LOVE[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. I think it is so classic and beautiful sounding, it ages well, it doesn’t need a nickname. The downside is that non-namenerds are realizing this too, so it is getting really popular.
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] nn Mem or [name_u]Remy[/name_u]- Not a fan of word names. What if the child is really forgetful? I think it would be better in the middle spot.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]- It has a nice sound, but hate [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. Can’t get over it.
[name_m]Deveraux[/name_m]- I love this. I love the sound and the look, but I think non-namenerds would have trouble pronouncing it.
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]- I don’t like word names. You are naming your kid an animal? Not a fan.
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m]- [name_m]Heath[/name_m] by itself is better, less fussy. But [name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m] is okay.
[name_m]Valor[/name_m]- I love this virtue name. I think it is awesome. I prefer it in the middle spot (because it is a word).

[bellerose]

Thanks all of you for your comments . I really appreciate it

[shealahtoba]

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is my favorite, love the nickname [name_f]Gigi[/name_f]

[mrs_darling]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f] - Trendy. What about [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] or [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]?
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f] - Trendy. What about [name_f]Annika[/name_f] or [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]?
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] – Swoon! But I wouldn’t use it. Its just… too much?
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] – Sweet.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - Classic but not my taste. I prefer [name_f]Georgia[/name_f].
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] – Classic and pretty.
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] – Okay. I only like it with the french pronunciation. I think it’s a bit wasted on English speakers.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] – Not a fan.

Boys :
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]- Handsome
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] – I don’t think this is quite usable. Big shoes to fill.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u] – A favorite on nameberry, but I’m not sold.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] – [name_m]Will[/name_m] always be attached to [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u].
[name_m]Christian[/name_m] – Growing on me daily.
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] – Phenomenal, but has a horrid meaning.
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] – Sweet, but not my style.

Possible list :

[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] - Not a good idea.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] – [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] classic, can’t go wrong.
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] nn Mem or [name_u]Remy[/name_u] – Not a good idea.
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m] – Okay, but don’t pair it with [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. Also possibly asking for drama.
[name_m]Deveraux[/name_m] – [name_f]LOVE[/name_f]!
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] – Only as a middle.
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m] - Too much.
[name_m]Valor[/name_m] – Growing on me.

[Wendla]

I like all your girl names, particularly [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. I find nothing wrong with any name on that list, though!

As for boy names, my absolute favorites are [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] “[name_u]Gus[/name_u]”, [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] and [name_u]Tristan[/name_u], but again I like them all. I’d leave [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] for the middle name spot because it seems a bit too much for me, but there’s nothing wrong with it.

Although both names are fine, I wouldn’t use both [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] “[name_f]Bella[/name_f]”, for obvious Twilight reasons

From your ‘possible’ list, I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], but that’s the only one I like.

[bibliophile]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f] - Pretty, but too popular. I prefer [name_f]Isadora[/name_f].
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] pronounced ana-stay-zhuh, but despise the other pronunciation. Plus, now that it’s in Fifty Shades of [name_u]Grey[/name_u], I’m not sure I could use it.
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] - Cute. I like it.
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] - If you can get past the tragic heroine, it’s a lovely name.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - Not a fan.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - Pretty.
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] - Spunky and unusual.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - All the [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]'s I know are rather ditzy.

Boys :
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] - Twilight ruined it for me.
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] - A little over-the-top. I prefer [name_m]Amadeo[/name_m].
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u] - [name_m]Will[/name_m] spike in popularity soon due to The Fault in Our Stars.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] - A bit effeminate. Plus, [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is all anyone will think of.
[name_m]Christian[/name_m] - Okay, but definitely religious. Awkward if the child is atheist or converts to another religion. I prefer the Dutch equivalent, [name_m]Cristian[/name_m] (cris-tee-ahn).
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] - Awfully…giddy.
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] - Makes me think of a debonair romance novel charmer.

Possible list :

[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] - Spunky. I like it.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - I love [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_u]Caroll[/name_u], so this one’s a winner.
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] nn Mem or [name_m]Remy[/name_m] - [name_m]Remy[/name_m] is a boys’ name. [name_f]Remember[/name_f] is okay, if a little over-the-top.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]
[name_m]Deveraux[/name_m] - Interesting. Not great nickname choices though.
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] - Dislike.
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m] - Makes me think of a broody English widower who lives on a cliffside mansion overlooking the sea. In a good way, I think.
[name_m]Valor[/name_m] - Interesting as well. Might get confusing due to the similar-sounding girls’ name [name_f]Valerie[/name_f]. Also, a bit problematic if he has anxiety or neuroses.

[flamingo]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f] - common but nice
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] on it’s own better than [name_f]Ana[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] - Different. I like it
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] - not one of my favorites.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - I don’t like the [name_m]George[/name_m] names, sorry
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - It’s so feminine, sounds like a princes name to me
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] - very sweet
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - I like it’s spunkiness

Boys :
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] - I’m not a fan
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] - I’d love to meet a little guy with this name
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u] - I don’t like it, though many people do
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] - Sounds too feminine to me
[name_m]Christian[/name_m] - great if you’re [name_m]Christian[/name_m]!
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] - love it
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] - not so into it

[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] - unless there’s a real special meaning of the place to you, I think it’s tacky.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - simple and sweet
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] nn Mem or [name_u]Remy[/name_u] - I don’t like this word name at all.

[larkub101]

Hey [name_f]Belle[/name_f]! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you’re doing well. Here’s my breakdown of your list.

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f]: Strangely, I like just [name_f]Bella[/name_f] better than [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], even though both are extremely overdone.
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f]: [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], like always. [name_f]Ana[/name_f] is pretty, but I favor nickname [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. But I love this choice all the same!
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]: I never found [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] attractive. It sounds to me like [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] trying too hard to be unique.
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]: [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]! It’s so romantic and beautiful. And it’s not too overdone, but very familiar, which is nice. I personally adore the nickname [name_u]Jet[/name_u].
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]: I think I prefer [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], but [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] is very pretty too.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]: This is my #1, so naturally I adore it. It’s so [name_m]French[/name_m] and strong yet dainty and feminine and lovely. Oh, I just love it!
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]: This may sound dumb, but I could never figure out how to pronounce this. I think I like it, but I’m not entirely sure, lol.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] reminds me of feet, honestly. I never liked [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] very much.

Boys :
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]: Very distinguished and strong.
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]: I like it, but I wish it had a more accessible nickname to help it fit in.
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u]: Perfect! [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] is very handsome. I must say, I prefer nickname Auggie, but [name_u]Gus[/name_u] is a nice option.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]: Hm, I like [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]. But once again, nickname…? Sorry, I’m a stickler for nicknames.
[name_m]Christian[/name_m]: Nice! Not too common, but certainly familiar and respectable.
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]: [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]! It’s brilliant and antique yet it fits in the modern world perfectly.
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]: I know a [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] who isn’t my favorite person. He’s not mean, just kind of annoying. But It’s a fine name, I think I would love it if it weren’t for the association.

Possible list :

[name_f]Alaska[/name_f]: Very pretty! I think it’s a great up and coming state name.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]: I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] okay, but I would never choose it. It sounds too timid and old-fashioned for me.
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] nn Mem or [name_u]Remy[/name_u]: I feel like this may cause trouble as a first name. [name_m]How[/name_m] long will it take before people start calling her “Forget”? But I like word names in general, so I think it could work, especially with functional nicknames.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]: For some reason [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] seems to have surpassed its connotation, but I feel like [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] is still stuck in the tragedy.
[name_m]Deveraux[/name_m]: This is wicked cool. I could see this on a really hot guy with nickname [name_m]Dev[/name_m] or Raux.
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]: I actually like this, there was a reality TV family with a son [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] who went by Wolfie. I think it would be awesome as a boy’s name. Once again, I picture a really hot guy named [name_m]Wolf[/name_m].
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m]: Never heard this before. It’s interesting, but it’s not dazzling me.
[name_m]Valor[/name_m]: This is cool! It sounds as honorable as its meaning. I think I’ll add this to my list.

Great list [name_f]Belle[/name_f]! Your style is so neat: elaborate and fanciful with a touch of mystery.

[aj_bear]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f]- way too popular for my tastes, and [name_f]Bella[/name_f] Swan has put a bad taint on this name.
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f]- a bit 50 Shades of [name_u]Grey[/name_u], but I like it.
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]- like this much more than [name_f]Isabella[/name_f].
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]- pretty.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]- longtime favorite
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]- Also really like
[name_f]Amalie[/name_f]- bound to have pronunciation issues. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] would be fine
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]- really like this

[name_m]Edward[/name_m]- Really like this name (though I would be reluctant to put [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f] into a sibset)
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]- a bit much for real life
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u]- I really like this
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]- also really like [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
[name_m]Christian[/name_m]- it’s alright. Never really jumped at me
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]- very nice.
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]- bland, as I’ve known about a dozen growing up

Possible List:
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f]- not a fan of place names
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]- I really like [name_f]Alice[/name_f], lovely and timeless
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] nn Mem or [name_u]Remy[/name_u]- dislike. A very hard virtue name to pull off

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m]- too much, especially paired with [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] (I’m sensing a couples theme: [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] and [name_m]Christian[/name_m], [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f], and [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f])
Devaraux- agree with previous posters, seems like you’re trying too hard
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]- Good middle, better as a nickname for [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m]
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m]- better as a middle name
[name_m]Valor[/name_m]- not my cup of tea

You have a fantastic list!

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] (A lovely, but popular, name.)
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] (I’ve never really liked this name and “Fifty Shades of [name_u]Grey[/name_u]” does nothing for it. I liked the suggestion of [name_f]Annika[/name_f] though.)
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] (I prefer other [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] alternatives, like [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] and [name_f]Isadora[/name_f].)
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] (A beautiful name.)
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] (It reminds me of [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], Mr. [name_u]Darcy[/name_u]'s sister in “Pride and Prejudice”. I like this name a lot, but I do prefer [name_f]Georgia[/name_f].)
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] (I love this name.)
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (It’s very pretty, but there might be some pronunciation problems.)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] (I love its spunk!)
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] (This is one of my favorite names, especially with [name_m]Ned[/name_m] as a nickname.)
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] (I really don’t like this name, even in the middle spot. It’s just to pretentious.)
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] (I love [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], especially with [name_u]Gus[/name_u] as a nickname. [name_u]August[/name_u] is another nickname idea.)
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] (This name sounds too feminine to me, although I know it isn’t.)
[name_m]Christian[/name_m] (One of my favorites. :))
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] (I love this one too!)
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] (This name makes me think of a modern Mr. [name_u]Darcy[/name_u]: moody and very handsome.)
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] ([name_f]Alaska[/name_f] is definitely not my style, but it has a certain powerful femininity to it that I like.)
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] (You can’t go wrong with this gem of a classic!)
[name_f]Remember[/name_f] (I’m not a fan of virtue names, especially this one. However, [name_u]Remy[/name_u] is a great nickname.)
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m] (I think only the Beckhams can pull this one off.)
[name_m]Deveraux[/name_m] (I like it, but I think it’s better suited for the middle spot.)
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] (I prefer this as a nickname for [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] or a middle name.)
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m] (The nickname [name_m]Heath[/name_m] is fantastic.)
[name_m]Valor[/name_m] (I really don’t care for this.)
