BOYS:
[name]Taylor[/name]- I was never really fond of this name to begin with but with it’s increasing popularity among girls, it is definitely not one I would give to a child.
[name]Morgan[/name]- This feel so feminine to me.
[name]Reuben[/name]- I [name]LOVE[/name] this one! I also love [name]Rafael[/name], which has the cool nn [name]Rafe[/name].
[name]Kian[/name]- I prefer the Irish spelling [name]Cian[/name]. It’s a nice name.
[name]Jaiden[/name]- I’m sorry but I absolutely cannot take the Jaaden/[name]Jayden[/name]/[name]Jaiden[/name]/[name]Caiden[/name]/[name]Braden[/name]/[name]Brayden[/name]/[name]Aaden[/name] trend.
[name]Eden[/name]- I have only ever heard of this for a girl. Maybe [name]Eben[/name] appeals to you?
[name]Cade[/name]- Not my favorite (I think of cane) but it’s not too bad.
[name]Shea[/name]- For a girl, I rather like it. I love [name]Sean[/name] for a boy though.
[name]Leighton[/name]- Gossip Girl comes to mind. Also, I perceive this as an all-girl name.
[name]Camden[/name]- It feels trendy to me but is possibly my favorite form this list after [name]Rueben[/name].
Lorrison- I’m really not liking Lorrison. [name]Harrison[/name] is a wonderful option.
GIRLS:
Ambrielle- This feels like [name]Amber[/name]/[name]Gabrielle[/name] mix. I say pick either one of those. [name]Ambrosia[/name], [name]Amity[/name] and [name]Danielle[/name] are also brought to mind.
[name]Skyla[/name]- I’m not a fan. It feels a bit like a “ditzy” girl name, right there with [name]Barbie[/name] and the like. I think [name]Sky[/name]/e or [name]Skylar[/name] gives a much stronger and more professional vibe.
[name]Macie[/name]- I can see why people are attracted to it (only spelled [name]Macey[/name] though) but it’s not personally my cup of tea. I only think of the department store.
[name]Tallulah[/name]- I have a friend named [name]Tallulah[/name] and as far as she says, she has never liked her name and can’t believe her parents named her it. Personally, I don’t find it that horrible but I much prefer [name]Natalia[/name] nn [name]Talia[/name] (or just [name]Talia[/name]) and [name]Thalia[/name].
[name]Ciara[/name]-[name]Lily[/name]- I like both names but not hyphenated. Hyphenated names feel extremely dated to me.
[name]Roxanna[/name]- I prefer [name]Roxanne[/name] and I like the nn [name]Roxy[/name].
[name]Madeline[/name]- Despite it’s popularity, I really like it. I like the French [name]Madeleine[/name] even more.
Elleah- This looks like a typo to me. I would stick with either [name]Ella[/name] or [name]Leah[/name], not mix them together.
[name]Tianna[/name]- I prefer it spelled [name]Tiana[/name] and even them, it feels a bit tacky to me (sorry!) It’s also the name of the princess in the new Disney movie.
Ellasyn- At first, I wasn’t sure what this name was. I’m not a fan of cr8tiv spellings. [name]Ellison[/name] is much better, as is [name]Allison[/name], but I’m not a fan of either.
