I love a lot of these, and I can see why you’re having trouble!

First, I would definitely eliminate these:

[name]Micah[/name], [name]Sydney[/name], and [name]Dylan[/name]-- they’re boy names…

These are nice nicknames, but too cutesy and insubstantial for a first name:
[name]Caylee[/name]/[name]Caeli[/name]
[name]Kate[/name]
[name]Annie[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Nelly[/name]
[name]Sally[/name]
[name]Ellie[/name]
[name]Ruthie[/name]

These are currently/have been/getting to be very popular, so you might want to avoid them:
[name]Ava[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]

I’ve never heard of these:
Teva
[name]Veda[/name]
[name]Lyda[/name]

Here are my absolute favorites out of the list:
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Celia[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name]
[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]

For boys, I would eliminate:
[name]Beau[/name]
[name]Aiden[/name] (really popular)
[name]Billy[/name], [name]Sam[/name] (too nicknamey)
[name]Knox[/name], [name]Pax[/name] (maybe too associated with the [name]Jolie[/name]-Pitts)
[name]Bodhi[/name]

I really like:
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]

[name]Ava[/name]: [name]Way[/name] too popular for me (#5), but I think it’s very pretty.

[name]Caylee[/name]/[name]Caeli[/name]: I’m personally not a fan of the trendy -aylee names (or yooneekly spelled names) that are part of what [name]Pam[/name] and [name]Linda[/name] have called a meganame trend, including [name]Baylee[/name]/[name]Baylie[/name]/[name]Bayley[/name]/Braelie/[name]Caylee[/name]/[name]Cailey[/name]/[name]Hayley[/name]/[name]Hailey[/name]/[name]Haylee[/name]/[name]Jaylee[/name]/[name]Kaylie[/name]/[name]Shaelee[/name]/Shayley etc.

[name]Eve[/name]: I love it! [name]Genevieve[/name], too.

[name]Flora[/name]: [name]Love[/name]!

I like to give my own opinion before reading what everyone else wrote, so that I’m not influenced :slight_smile: I’ll go back and read afterwards, but sorry for any duplicate responses. :slight_smile:

I’m going to “score” the names with stars (*). More stars equals a better score and if I put a dash (-) it means I would personally remove the name from the list.

Girls:
[name]Adele[/name]***
[name]Alice[/name]**
[name]Annie[/name]*
[name]Ava[/name] - Its so popular :frowning:
[name]Avigail[/name] - I think you mean [name]Abigail[/name] and its very popular, if you actually do mean [name]Avigail[/name], I just don’t like it
[name]Belle[/name] - I know more dogs named this than people
[name]Blythe[/name] I’m not marking this one with anything…i’m just really neutral on this one
[name]Caroline[/name]*
[name]Caylee[/name]/[name]Caeli[/name] - This one falls into the “trendy” group of names, especially with that spelling
[name]Celia[/name]

[name]Ella[/name]/[name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name] - I love these, but as nicknames (PS- they’re really popular, too)
[name]Emma[/name]/[name]Emmy[/name] - ditto

17

Girls:
[name]Ava[/name]–lovely but overused
[name]Avigail[/name]–people will always be saying and spelling [name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Belle[/name]–cute but overused as a nickname for many names currently
[name]Caylee[/name]/[name]Caeli[/name]–has many rhyming names and variant spellings, also reaching the saturation point
[name]Chloe[/name]–[name]Zoe[/name] is more distinctive, go for the z
[name]Dylan[/name]–a little dated and unisex for my taste
[name]Ella[/name]/[name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]–the elle sound is saturated at this point but works well if part of a longer name that contains this sound
[name]Emma[/name]/[name]Emmy[/name]–ubiquitous
[name]Hannah[/name]–it’s alright, but with the quantity of Hannahs running around and [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Montana[/name], many of your other choices are stronger
[name]Luna[/name]–it’s appealing to me but even as an artsy type it still primarily reminds me of [name]Luna[/name] bars and [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]
[name]Lyda[/name]–much prefer [name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Micah[/name]–I prefer this one on boys but it’s alright
[name]Noa[/name]–I think it depends on where you live, how likely you are to be distinguishing her from little boy Noahs
[name]Suri[/name]–cute but closely associated with [name]Suri[/name] [name]Cruise[/name]
[name]Sydney[/name]–cute but I personally don’t think it will age very well
Teva–sandals

I think your best girl name choices are [name]Adele[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Blythe[/name], [name]Celia[/name], [name]Eve[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Miriam[/name], [name]Naomi[/name], [name]Stella[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], and [name]Zoe[/name]. Some of the others are just names I don’t personally care for but most are lovely choices that I feel are very safe and because you have such a variety of names you like, you can choose something a little more distinctive.

Boys:
[name]Abram[/name]–I’m liking this name without the “ham,” uncertain of it at the moment but it’s growing on me
[name]Aiden[/name]–ubiquitous and now rhymes with half of the other names people are using–I think it’s essentially a cool name but I’m just fatigued by its overuse
[name]Beau[/name]–this is kind of hard for me to picture on a grown man but it’s fun to say, underused, and straightforward
[name]Bodhi[/name]–a bit much if you’re not Buddhist, IMHO (more power to you if you are but just be ready to field questions about it either way), and subject to “body” jokes
[name]Cormac[/name]–I’m probably just being a dork here but it makes me think of tarmac and cognac
[name]David[/name]–I have a soft spot for [name]David[/name], one of my favorite classic boy names but it’s so popular that I think it would be best when combined with something fresh and maybe in the middle spot
[name]Dylan[/name]–I like it better for a boy than a girl but it’s rather unisex, just depends on what you’re going for
[name]Jesse[/name]–I like it but it might cause some confusion with girls who go by [name]Jessie[/name], not necessarily a deal-breaker or anything, just a thought
[name]Knox[/name]–with the [name]Jolie[/name]-[name]Pitt[/name] connection, I prefer it in the middle. It’s fun, though
[name]Micah[/name]–I think this is a great alternative to [name]Michael[/name], having its strengths without the overwhelming popularity, although often used for girls
[name]Pax[/name]–same as with [name]Knox[/name]
[name]Sam[/name]–I think this would be great as the full name [name]Samuel[/name], with [name]Sam[/name] as a nickname

My favorites of your boy names are [name]Gabriel[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Adam[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Levi[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Jeremiah[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], and [name]Jude[/name].

Good luck! :slight_smile:
