[name]Hi[/name]! This is my first time on here, so I don’t really know what I’m doing…

I’m not expecting yet, but we’re planning to start trying soon! Can’t help but think of names! : )

Here is a list of a few of my favorite names. If anyone has time, I would love to know what you all think of these names. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! : )

(*family names)

Girls’ Names:
[name]Eliana[/name] *[name]Diane[/name]
[name]Jessamine[/name]
*[name]Ellen[/name] (nn [name]Ellie[/name]/[name]Ella[/name])
[name]Charlotte[/name] (nn *[name]Lottie[/name])
[name]Corinna[/name] (nn [name]Cora[/name])

Boys’ Names:

[name]Cole[/name]
[name]Mason[/name]

Of your girl names, [name]Charlotte[/name] is by far my favorite. I love classic names, and it is one of my personal top choices. I do think [name]Eliana[/name] and [name]Alaina[/name] are very pretty and feminine, too. [name]Jessamine[/name] and [name]Corrina[/name] aren’t really my style. I think instead of [name]Ellen[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] would be very pretty!

For the boys, [name]Beckett[/name] is my favorite, as I really like surname names. However, [name]Beckett[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] don’t sound ideal together, so [name]Benjamin[/name] would be cute. [name]Cole[/name], [name]Mason[/name], and [name]Trenton[/name] all sound very trendy to me, but I do like [name]Chase[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name], and [name]Theodore[/name], which are very different styles…

My favorite for the girl names is [name]Jessamine[/name]! So pretty. I also adore [name]Charlotte[/name] but it is so popular. For boys, I suppose I would pick [name]Beckett[/name]. None of them are really my style. [name]Trenton[/name], [name]Mason[/name], and [name]Cole[/name] feel a little trendier. The thing about [name]Trenton[/name] (which might not bother you) is that the capital of New [name]Jersey[/name] is [name]Trenton[/name] and parts of it are not so nice.

Good [name]Luck[/name]!

Of your names this is what I think:

Girls’ Names:
[name]Eliana[/name] *[name]Diane[/name] - Like [name]Eliana[/name], though I prefer Illeana
[name]Jessamine[/name] - It’s okay
*[name]Ellen[/name] - [name]Just[/name] call her [name]Ellen[/name], if you’re gonna shorten it to [name]Elle[/name] or [name]Ella[/name] ([name]Ella[/name] is the same syllables) then just name her that
[name]Charlotte[/name] - Again with the [name]Lottie[/name], I know that dropping the beginning of a name is a European thing to do I really dont advocate nicknames. You may as well just name her [name]Lottie[/name].
[name]Corinna[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name] just as it is
[name]Alaina[/name]/[name]Elaina[/name] - I prefer it spelled [name]Alayna[/name]. I like the name.

Boys’ Names:
[name]Beckett[/name] - its okay
[name]Cole[/name] - boring
[name]Mason[/name] - too popular
[name]Trenton[/name] - sounds like the name of a river or other body of water

Girls’ Names:
[name]Eliana[/name] - I like the name [name]Eliana[/name], it’s very elegant. However, all the [name]Ella[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name] nns are very popular at the moment, so that may make it a bit less unique. Would you use a nn? If so, you could go with [name]Liana[/name], [name]Lee[/name], [name]Ana[/name], etc. to distinguish it.
*[name]Diane[/name] - I’m not so keen on [name]Diane[/name]. I prefer [name]Diana[/name], and I MUCH prefer [name]Dinah[/name], which I think sounds a lot fresher.
[name]Jessamine[/name] - I like [name]Jess[/name] as a nn, but [name]Jessamine[/name] reminds me a bit of [name]Jezebel[/name] with all of those associations.
*[name]Ellen[/name] (nn [name]Ellie[/name]/[name]Ella[/name]) - see [name]Eliana[/name].
[name]Charlotte[/name] (nn *[name]Lottie[/name]) - I love the name [name]Charlotte[/name] (and love [name]Lottie[/name] as a nn) but it’s getting quite popular. Not sure if that bothers you though.
[name]Corinna[/name] (nn [name]Cora[/name]) - not my style
[name]Alaina[/name]/[name]Elaina[/name] - I prefer [name]Elaina[/name], and I think it’s very pretty. Again, there’s the [name]Ellie[/name]/[name]Ella[/name] nn thing, but I love [name]Laney[/name] as a nn for this one.

My favourites are [name]Charlotte[/name] and (if you used the [name]Lane[/name] or [name]Laney[/name] nn) [name]Elaina[/name].

Boys’ Names:
[name]Beckett[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Cole[/name] - I really like [name]Cole[/name] as well. It’s simple, strong and masculine.
[name]Mason[/name] - I love this one too!
[name]Trenton[/name] (nn [name]Trent[/name]) - I’m a bit less keen on [name]Trenton[/name] but it’s still a nice name.

My favourite of your boys’ names is probably [name]Beckett[/name] but running very close to [name]Mason[/name].

Good luck!
