[phosphorescence]

[name]Allegra[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] - seriously beautiful. A real winner of a combination. [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Allegra[/name] would be equally stunning
[name]Freja[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] - I also love this.
[name]Yardley[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] - I really dislike [name]Yardley[/name] and [name]Caroline[/name] is not a personal favourite. It seriously pales in contrast to the other two combinations.

[name]Josie[/name] - love it as a nickname. Are there any longer forms you like?
[name]Sophie[/name] - sweet but very common. I do often wonder if it isn’t a little incomplete, but [name]Sophia[/name] is ubiquitous and [name]Sophronia[/name] a very brave step.
[name]Audrey[/name] - beautiful and sweetly old fashioned.
[name]Francesca[/name] - a new love of mine.
[name]Isla[/name] - I like it, but want to pronounce is iz-la à la the Spanish noun. [name]How[/name] about [name]Lila[/name]?
[name]Laila[/name] - Not my cup of tea.
[name]Theodora[/name] - a whole lot of name, but gosh, I love [name]Thea[/name].
[name]Delaney[/name] - I really don’t like this name.
[name]Dylan[/name] - I see this as more of a boy’s name, and quite bland.
[name]Luna[/name] - adore.
[name]Charlotte[/name] - sweet, timeless, classic.

Boys:

[name]Grayson[/name] [name]Everett[/name] - I seriously dislike [name]Greyson[/name] and [name]Everett[/name] is more of a surname ([name]Rupert[/name] [name]Everett[/name] for example).
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Jude[/name] - handsome!
[name]Tristan[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] - also really handsome. I’d love to see [name]Tristan[/name] used.
[name]Linus[/name] [name]Edward[/name] - swoon.
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Noble[/name] - I don’t like this one.

[name]Sebastian[/name] - adore.
[name]Conrad[/name] - handsome, if not a name I’d consider myself.
[name]Channing[/name] - dislike.
[name]Gable[/name] - this would be a wonderful, unexpected nickname for [name]Gabriel[/name]. As a standalone, it’s all architectural feature to me.
[name]Beau[/name] - dislike.
[name]Gideon[/name] - dislike. In theory, I should love it, but “giddy” isn’t the most attractive of sounds to my ear.
[name]Darius[/name] - a bit sleazy.
[name]Colin[/name] - handsome.
[name]Hayden[/name] - I don’t like this one.
[name]Shiloh[/name] - thanks to a certain celebrity family, I really struggle to envision this on a boy, and would imagine other people to think the same. If you like the sound, how about [name]Milo[/name]?

[greyer]

[name]Allegra[/name] Geneveive - [name]Allegra[/name], to me, is just okay. Not great, but not awful, either. [name]Allegra[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] is a mouthful, but I do love [name]Genevieve[/name].
[name]Freja[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Freja[/name] spelled this way. [name]Evangeline[/name] is too frilly for me with sturdy [name]Freja[/name]. My first thought was [name]Freja[/name] [name]Imogen[/name].
[name]Yardley[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] - Not a fan of [name]Yardley[/name], but love [name]Caroline[/name]! [name]Freja[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] or [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] would be lovely!

[name]Josie[/name] - don’t like, sorry
[name]Sophie[/name] - love, but sooo popular in my area
[name]Audrey[/name] - nms but very sweet and classy
[name]Francesca[/name] - not a fan. I think of the really hairy Italian girl I knew in high school. I do like [name]Frances[/name] though.
[name]Isla[/name] - very sweet
[name]Laila[/name] - prefer spelled [name]Layla[/name] or [name]Leila[/name] but I love it!
[name]Theodora[/name] - I think I like just [name]Thea[/name] better
[name]Delaney[/name] - too trendy for me
[name]Dylan[/name] - better on a boy… or not at all
[name]Luna[/name] - cute, but I worry about teasing
[name]Charlotte[/name] - really pretty!

[name]Grayson[/name] [name]Everett[/name] - Really trendy, the whole thing. I’d replace [name]Everett[/name] with the rarer [name]Everard[/name]. [name]Everard[/name] [name]Gray[/name] would actually be a handsome combo.
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Jude[/name] - It’s okay.
[name]Tristan[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] - [name]Tristan[/name] is sooo trendy to me. I remember when every other little boy I met was named [name]Tristan[/name]. [name]Tristram[/name] is a nice alternative though. [name]Tristram[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] would be gorgeous.
[name]Linus[/name] [name]Edward[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Noble[/name] - [name]Love[/name]! I love [name]Noble[/name] up front, too. I knew a little boy named [name]Noble[/name] and he totally made it usable for me.

[name]Sebastian[/name] - never saw the appeal, it’s just so long and fussy. I also think of the crab from [name]Little[/name] Mermaid.
[name]Conrad[/name] - so handsome, love it
[name]Channing[/name] - I like it.
[name]Gable[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Beau[/name] - [name]Love[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] - I like it but I’m slightly put off by the Gid- sound, it’s so abrupt
[name]Darius[/name] - I think of [name]Sailor[/name] [name]Moon[/name], lol! The girl who did the voice of [name]Sailor[/name] [name]Moon[/name] used to say “[name]Darius[/name]…” in this over the top cheesy romantic voice, so I just crack up when I hear it because of that.
[name]Colin[/name] - not a fan, and this coming from someone who would have been named [name]Colin[/name] if I was a boy
[name]Hayden[/name] - not bad
[name]Shiloh[/name] - I know this is unisex, but I feel like because of the [name]Jolie[/name]-[name]Pitt[/name]'s daughter, it’s gone too far for a boy to use it.

Honest opinions follow, hope that’s OK. Enjoyed reading and thinking about your list, thanks

[name]Allegra[/name] Geneveive - nice, I like [name]Genevieve[/name] a lot and [name]Allegra[/name] is interesting. Quite a mouthful though!

[name]Yardley[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] - not a fan of either, sorry

[name]Josie[/name] - lovely and a little unusual
[name]Sophie[/name] - lovely but too common for me
[name]Audrey[/name] - growing on me slowly. It was my grandma’s name, and she hated it, she was called ‘Awful [name]Audrey[/name]’ in the playground. [name]Audrey[/name] Tatou has made it sound cute on a little girl, but I’m not sure how I’d feel about a teenager/grown-up!
[name]Francesca[/name] - fantastic name, though I don’t like nn [name]Fran[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] - simple & sweet, love it
[name]Laila[/name] - too popular for me, but I like the meaning. Prefer spelling [name]Leila[/name]
[name]Theodora[/name] - love [name]Thea[/name], not sold on this long version, but it’s interesting
[name]Delaney[/name] - not my taste at all, sounds like a slightly trashy use of a surname
[name]Dylan[/name] - not keen for a girl
[name]Luna[/name] - sweet & simple, love it
[name]Charlotte[/name] - not my style, too girly and conventional, and I dislike ‘[name]Charles[/name]’, but have warmed to nn [name]Lottie[/name]

Boys:

[name]Grayson[/name] [name]Everett[/name] - love [name]Gray[/name], but not the rest
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Jude[/name] - really like [name]Declan[/name], dislike [name]Jude[/name]
[name]Tristan[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] - too wordy for me
[name]Linus[/name] [name]Edward[/name] - great, especially [name]Linus[/name]. I like most [name]Ed[/name] names - [name]Edmund[/name] even better.
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Noble[/name] - used to like [name]Callum[/name], nice sounds and meaning, but now way way too popular. [name]Don[/name]'t like [name]Noble[/name] - surname as first name.

[name]Sebastian[/name] - nice, has character, though I think it’s probably zooming up in popularity
[name]Conrad[/name] - I like the first part, would prefer [name]Connor[/name]
[name]Channing[/name] - too surnamey
[name]Gable[/name] - ditto
[name]Beau[/name] - a nice idea, but says wimp and/or vain to me
[name]Gideon[/name] - waaaay too religious for me
[name]Darius[/name] - ick, harsh sounds, bad association from UK TV show
[name]Colin[/name] - sweet but dated, not a lot of character
[name]Hayden[/name] - too popular, and lots of associations from students I’ve taught
[name]Shiloh[/name] - girly (thanks to Brangelina) and religious, not for me

[kala_way]

[name]Allegra[/name] Geneveive - not fond of [name]Allegra[/name], connotation is allergy medicine. Geneveive is nice.
[name]Freja[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] - unless you’re Scandinavian, [name]Freja[/name] just seems weird to me.
[name]Yardley[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] - I like [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Yardley[/name] sounds like a butler’s last name, or maybe a dog, not a girl.

[name]Josie[/name] - I like, it’s cute
[name]Sophie[/name] - like
[name]Audrey[/name] - like
[name]Francesca[/name] - meh, if you’re Spanish, if not, then no

[name]Laila[/name] - not bad
[name]Theodora[/name] - no (I don’t like boy names with girl endings)

[name]Hayden[/name] - meh
[name]Shiloh[/name] - this has never felt like a name to me, I know it’s used a lot but I don’t really like it as a name.

[jeska]

I love the name [name]Allegra[/name], and am very glad we don’t have that allergy medication in Australia to ruin it! I cannot stand [name]Genevieve[/name], though.

I also like [name]Sophie[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Layla[/name] and [name]Luna[/name].

From the boys, I only like [name]Grayson[/name] (lovely) and [name]Linus[/name]. Something about [name]Sebastian[/name] always sounds terribly pretentious to me - like it should belong to an effeminate frock-coated butler, or something.
