Hmm. I never remember my GPs, but I’ll try! haha
Girls:

That’s all I can think of! I honestly have never had that many boys’ GP names.
Girls:
[name]Dani[/name] (on its own)
[name]Elora[/name]
[name]Taleesa[/name]
[name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Sage[/name]
[name]Aria[/name]

Boys:
[name]Hunter[/name]
[name]Taliesin[/name]
[name]Gerald[/name]
[name]Aurelian[/name]
[name]Brandon[/name]
[name]Jaiden[/name] (this spelling only, even though the ayden trend is getting old I tthink the name looks cool, like something out of a sci-fi series)
[name]Jackson[/name]
[name]Edgar[/name]
[name]Winston[/name]
[name]Albert[/name]
Girls:
[name]Braelyn[/name] (I know a lot of people don’t like the “made up” looking names)
[name]Briar[/name] (This may have too much of a curling connotation for where I live - it’s one of our biggest sports)
[name]Ceridwen[/name]
[name]Coraline[/name]
[name]Embry[/name] (Everyone I’ve said this name too automatically says “Like an embryo?”)
[name]Eowyn[/name] (From [name]Lord[/name] of the Rings. I would hesitate to use it for that reason but it’s such a pretty name)
[name]Ireland[/name] (Lots of people don’t like country names, but I can’t help it with this one)
[name]Katarzyna[/name] (I don’t think anyone would know how to pronounce it)
[name]London[/name]
[name]McKinley[/name] (I think this is generically used for a boy, but I used it for a character in my book once and fell in love with it on a girl)
Boys:
[name]Aiden[/name] (For popularity reasons)
[name]Brighton[/name] (I love the character from the show Everwood with this name, and I think it’s really nice)
[name]Indiana[/name]
[name]Jackson[/name] (For popularity reasons)
[name]Jayden[/name] (For popularity reasons - this is also the only spelling I would ever use for this name)
[name]Kase[/name]
[name]Maddox[/name]
[name]Paxton[/name]

5 [name]Lilac[/name] and [name]Clover[/name] (for twins)
6 [name]Leila[/name]/[name]Leilani[/name]

I’m not sure about the order but these are my favorites:
Girls.
Boys.
I don’t think I can come up with 10 but here are a few I like…
Boys
[name]Camden[/name] - This would be honoring my dad’s side of the family because he grew up in [name]Camden[/name]. But seeing what the city is like now… no thanks.
[name]Judas[/name] - I would never use this name for obvious reasons, but I do really like the sound and the possible nn [name]Jude[/name].
[name]Braden[/name] - I don’t know if I consider this a GP or not. I love the name, but I don’t think I could use it with the -aden trend :-/
Girls
[name]Aria[/name] - I used to work at a place with this name, and a lot of my friends worked there. I don’t think I can shake the connection.
[name]Acacia[/name] - So pretty, but where I went to college, there is a chapter of the [name]Acacia[/name] fraternity. Some really great guys, but I’d feel odd naming a child “after” them (especially since I was also in a sorority there).
[name]Keely[/name] - I just love this name, but I’m afraid it’s too “cutesy”.
Jaina - From a video game. The character is a pretty main person in the storyline, so it’s pretty obvious haha.
