[name]Jeremy[/name] (because I like [name]Jem[/name])
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Micah[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]

I’ve always preferred the [name]Emilia[/name] spelling too, but my husband thinks it would be a hassle for any potential babies. And I’m glad some other people love [name]Kit[/name] and [name]Jem[/name]! They’re my favorite nicknames.

[name]George[/name] : too…old…
[name]Clifford[/name] : big red dog?

All of your names seem wearable to me, but some I just don’t like. I’m just gonna make a list of the names I wouldn’t use:

Girls:
[name]Bridget[/name]- I like [name]Birdie[/name] and [name]Bridie[/name], but [name]Bridget[/name] reminds me of the slang word “idjit”…or even midget, I guess. It just doesn’t sound pretty, to me.
[name]Piper[/name]- I always picture someone who looks constantly sticky… I just get bad feels from this name.
[name]Samantha[/name]- Never liked the sound, and [name]Sam[/name] should stay with the boys.

Boys:
[name]Atticus[/name]- Too closely associated with TKAM

I almost put [name]Clifford[/name] on here, too. But I think it could work, with the right kid.
