[name_u]Sterling[/name_u]

[name_m]Alvis[/name_m]
[name_u]Finch[/name_u]
Eric
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]
[name_m]Musa[/name_m]
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f]
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_u]Noli[/name_u]/[name_m]Nolly[/name_m]- like [name_f]Polly[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] but with an N
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f]
Holly
[name_u]Dune[/name_u]- boy of girl
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]- same question
Of the boy names, I like [name_m]Eric[/name_m]. If you like [name_m]Edwin[/name_m], would you consider [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]? I think it is similar but has a rounder feel. [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] and [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] I like quite a bit. They might shine best in the middle spot though, if your boy name taste is more classic. As for the last two names [name_u]Dune[/name_u] and [name_u]Bay[/name_u], both are truly unisex to me.
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] I like this variation of [name_m]Edwin[/name_m]ā¦ [name_u]Win[/name_u] could be a more unique nn.
[name_m]Vinson[/name_m] - I am not a fan as it seems incomplete ā¦ Much prefer [name_m]Vincent[/name_m].
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m]. I like this name and the Nn [name_m]Cas[/name_m].
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u]-this comes across as too posh for my taste
[name_m]Gerald[/name_m]- I could like this name if it werenāt for the nickname [name_u]Gerry[/name_u].
[name_m]Alvis[/name_m]-this strikes me as a misspelling of [name_m]Elvis[/name_m]. I peer [name_m]Alvin[/name_m], [name_m]Albert[/name_m], and [name_m]Alvin[/name_m].
[name_u]Finch[/name_u]- I like this nature name and the connection to āto Kill a Mockingbird.ā
[name_m]Eric[/name_m] - I like this name though it seems a bit 80s to me.
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] - okay. I Picture an artistic, dreamy girl with this name.
[name_m]Musa[/name_m]-it makes me think of Mufasa from The [name_m]Lion[/name_m] [name_m]King[/name_m].
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f]- okay. ā¦ It just seems a bit dated and not yet vintag.
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f]- I like this name. It works with vintage trend.
[name_u]Noli[/name_u]- it comes across as made up. I much prefer both [name_f]Molly[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] which have some tradition behind them,
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]- I like this name a a lot.
[name_u]Dune[/name_u]- I like for a boy but not a girl. It strikes me as similar to [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and [name_u]Dane[/name_u] which I see as masculine.
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]- It strikes me as a bit feminine. I prefer it for a girl.
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] ā I prefer [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], but [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] is not bad. I find it a bit intriguing.
[name_m]Vinson[/name_m] ā Dislike, for the same reason as pp.
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] ā Nice and charming!
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u] ā I donāt like it as a first name, but I love it in the middle spot.
[name_m]Gerald[/name_m], [name_m]Alvis[/name_m], [name_u]Finch[/name_u] and [name_m]Eric[/name_m] ā I donāt like any of them.
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] ā I kind of like it (although itās not my style at all).
[name_m]Musa[/name_m] ā This means āmouseā where I live, and is slang for something sexual. I very strongly dislike it.
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f] and [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] ā Dated.
[name_u]Noli[/name_u] ā I agree with the pp, it sounds made up.
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] ā Dislike.
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] ā Sweet and charming.
[name_u]Dune[/name_u] ā Sounds a bit incomplete, but is alright.
[name_u]Bay[/name_u] ā Same as [name_u]Dune[/name_u].
To answer this question:
[name_u]Dune[/name_u]- boyā¦ I guess. Never heard of anyone named [name_u]Dune[/name_u].
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]- Girl! itās one of my favorite girl names.
I didnāt know [name_m]Musa[/name_m] meant both mouse and something sexual- it might be off the list now.
[name_m]Vinson[/name_m], [name_f]Brenda[/name_f], [name_m]Gerald[/name_m] and [name_u]Noli[/name_u] are all family names, [name_u]Noli[/name_u] is my great aunties name, though I am considering to honour her with the name [name_f]Nola[/name_f].
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m]āNot my favorite [name_m]Ed[/name_m] name, but Iām form [name_f]Louisiana[/name_f], and one of our most notorious governors was [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] Edwardsā¦granted, the state did pretty well under him, but he was jailed for financial crimes. Heās very dashing, though, and outside of the state, I think it works well.
[name_m]Vinson[/name_m]āNot sureā¦I think I prefer [name_m]Vincent[/name_m].
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m]ā[name_u]Love[/name_u] this.
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u]āReminds me of [name_m]Archer[/name_m] (the character [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] [name_m]Archer[/name_m]), but is a nice name.
[name_m]Gerald[/name_m]āThis is a nice name for a boy or a man.
[name_m]Alvis[/name_m]ā[name_m]Elvis[/name_m] or [name_m]Alvin[/name_m]?
[name_u]Finch[/name_u]āReminds me of American Pie, but not bad.
[name_m]Eric[/name_m]āI like it, but I know a lot of them!
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]āIām not fond of word names, but I do like this one.
[name_m]Musa[/name_m]āI prefer [name_f]Musette[/name_f] or [name_f]Musetta[/name_f].
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f]āI feel this is very dated because of where I live; many women born in the late 50s through the early 70s share this name in my area.
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f]āI love it! Could definitely make a comeback.
[name_u]Noli[/name_u]/[name_m]Nolly[/name_m]- like [name_f]Polly[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] but with an NāIām from [name_f]Louisiana[/name_f], so it reminds me of [name_f]Nola[/name_f], our nn for [name_m]New[/name_m] Orleans, Louisana.
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f]āCute. I like it.
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]āI have six Hollys on my FB friendlist. Six.
[name_u]Dune[/name_u]- boy or girl: I think boy?
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]- same question: Eitherā¦I love it for the character Baelfire/[name_f]Bae[/name_f]/[name_u]Neal[/name_u] on Once Upon a Time, BUT there is the unfortunate internet association with the word ā[name_f]Bae[/name_f],ā so many people might think of that.
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] - Might sound a bit wimpy today
[name_m]Vinson[/name_m] - Nice! Like [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] but more original
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] - Reminiscent of a cute ghost but I like it
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u] - Strong. Awesome. Thereās an Australian rugby player called [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] Mortlock (strongest name Iāve ever heard)
[name_m]Gerald[/name_m] - Same as [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] for me, but in the right environment it might be ok
[name_m]Alvis[/name_m] - Too much like [name_m]Elvis[/name_m], unless youāre huge fan and thatās what you want
[name_u]Finch[/name_u] - Nice. Not over used and just nice.
[name_m]Eric[/name_m] - Grown-up sounding. I like it though
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!
[name_m]Musa[/name_m] - Itās cool, might be too music-y or too Greekā¦
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f] - Quite old fashioned that might not come back
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f] - Cute! I like this one!
[name_u]Noli[/name_u]/[name_m]Nolly[/name_m]- Different, but I think itās sweet!
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] - Not a weekday name heard often! It sounds nice though.
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] - Reminds me of [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]! Cute!
[name_u]Dune[/name_u] - Not sure if this one would work for either
[name_u]Bay[/name_u] - People called boyfriends and girlfriends [name_f]Bae[/name_f] ([name_u]Bay[/name_u]), [name_u]Baby[/name_u], [name_u]Boo[/name_u] as a nn in [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealandā¦
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] - Nice enough. Lots of good nn possibilities.
[name_m]Vinson[/name_m] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] sounds weird
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] - Cool name
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u] - Cool name
[name_m]Gerald[/name_m] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] donāt like the sound of it
[name_m]Alvis[/name_m] - If you are going to use this then Iād just go all out and spell it with an E
[name_u]Finch[/name_u] - Cool name
[name_m]Eric[/name_m] - I donāt hate it as much as I used to
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] - Nice name
[name_m]Musa[/name_m] - Not sure what this is
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f] - Too 90ās BH90210 for me
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f] - Has too many bad associations as a derogatory term for a homosexual for me.
[name_u]Noli[/name_u]/[name_m]Nolly[/name_m]- Sounds like some kind of insultā¦ like, āYou [name_m]Nolly[/name_m]ā
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] - Cool, but I personally couldnāt use unless the baby was actually born on a [name_f]Sunday[/name_f].
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] - very nice name
[name_u]Dune[/name_u]- Quite like this, because of the books Iād probably say boy - although I hate gender stereotypes in anything other than names, so I hate myself for saying that.
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]- [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like this as a name, but I could see on either gender - maybe a bit more boy
I love [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] & [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f].
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m], [name_u]Sterling[/name_u], [name_m]Gerald[/name_m], [name_m]Eric[/name_m], [name_f]Holly[/name_f] & [name_u]Bay[/name_u] are nice enoughā¦ I donāt love them, but theyāre all right.
I donāt care for [name_m]Vinson[/name_m], [name_m]Alvis[/name_m], [name_u]Finch[/name_u], [name_m]Musa[/name_m], [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], or [name_u]Dune[/name_u].
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f] & [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] are very dated, but theyāre fine. I had a doll named [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] when I was young so I have a soft spot for it.
[name_m]Nolly[/name_m] would be cute as a nickname.
Interesting mix!
I probably should have mentioned that I do not live in the US, I live in Scandinavia. Itās probably fine where you live; I was just trying to explain why the name is unappealing to me
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] - I prefer [name_m]Edmond[/name_m] to [name_m]Edwin[/name_m], but if you like it, go for it.

[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] - Not my style
[name_m]Musa[/name_m] - no, just donāt like it.

[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] - this is fine, quite a nice name - but I am not at all keen on [name_m]Eddie[/name_m]
[name_m]Vinson[/name_m] - [name_m]Will[/name_m] be mistaken for [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] over and over and over
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] - I love this

[name_m]Gerald[/name_m] - Itās ok. [name_u]Gerry[/name_u] is nice.
[name_m]Alvis[/name_m] - Sort of [name_m]Elvis[/name_m], but not.
[name_u]Finch[/name_u] - Gorgeous
[name_m]Eric[/name_m] - Where I am from an [name_m]Eric[/name_m] is slang for an erection. So no for me but elsewhere - fine!
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] - Itās ok, love the meaning donāt love the sound
[name_m]Musa[/name_m] - Muesli
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f] - Very fusty with an unattractive sound
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f] - I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_u]Noli[/name_u]/[name_m]Nolly[/name_m]- like [name_f]Polly[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] but with an N - Quite sweet
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] - I like this
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] - Nice, very middle of the road
