[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
Here are my thoughts-
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f] Jess-I don’t know that I love [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]. Which is weird, because I do like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], & it looks similar enough. It’s not a bad name though. It’s feminine & strong & a little exotic . [name_m]Jess[/name_m] doesn’t do much for me as a MN, but it’s not awful.
[name_f]Judy[/name_f] Madelyn-Judy is not a name that you see much these days. I don’t care for it, but I think that I’d also be tickled to meet a little tyke named [name_f]Judy[/name_f]! Guess it’s just refreshing. [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] is fine as a MN, but I’m picky & don’t like how [name_f]Judy[/name_f] & [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] both have 'd’s.
[name_f]Epiphany[/name_f] [name_f]Ruthanne[/name_f] (Effie)-I can appreciate that [name_f]Effie[/name_f] is cute & vintage. [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f] is a lot though. Really hard to say & spell at first glance.
[name_f]Deanna[/name_f] Lila-Oh, that’s refreshing. [name_f]Deanna[/name_f] is not necessarily a name that I love, but much like [name_f]Judy[/name_f], I’m still pleased to see it on your list. I like the way that [name_f]Deanna[/name_f] [name_f]Lila[/name_f] feels too.
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (Marnie)-I’m just not into the ‘Mar’ sound in [name_f]Marnie[/name_f], but [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is gorgeous.
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] Jolene-So pretty! Romantic & charming.
[name_f]Lilibet[/name_f] Ethel-I don’t care much for either name. The combo works though. I love the [name_f]Lili[/name_f] part.
Boys-
[name_m]Laurence[/name_m] Timothy-Ooh, you spelled [name_m]Laurence[/name_m] how I prefer it. This combo is handsome.
[name_m]Colby[/name_m] Lynn-I can’t get into [name_m]Colby[/name_m]. It just feels a little early 2000s dated. [name_f]Lynn[/name_f] is unisex, but still feels feminine. Maybe [name_m]Colby[/name_m] [name_f]Wynn[/name_f] would be better? Unless [name_f]Lynn[/name_f] is an honor name for you, then go for it.
[name_m]Kieran[/name_m] Shawn-My sweet little nephew is [name_m]Kieran[/name_m], & nine years later I still prefer the [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m] spelling. Still a beautiful name. I don’t like [name_m]Shawn[/name_m] much, but it’s okay. Prefer [name_m]Sean[/name_m] for sure. [name_m]Feel[/name_m] stronger about that than [name_m]Kieran[/name_m] vs [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m].
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] Tucker-I’m not on the [name_m]Felix[/name_m] train as much as most berries seem to be, but it’s cute enough & I really like the way [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Tucker[/name_m] sounds. Spunky & cuddly.
[name_m]Marcel[/name_m] Evan-I don’t love either name, but the combo works & [name_m]Marcel[/name_m] is different.
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] Michael-I really like [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & I really like [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]. Why can’t I get on board with [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]? It’s a perfectly nice name; just don’t love it for some reason.
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] Elliott-Saved the best for last. I love it! [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is one of my top guys, & [name_m]Elliott[/name_m] is equally dashing.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
