[name]Elaine[/name]- I prefer [name]Elena[/name] because it still has that same pretty long A sound. [name]Elaine[/name] just reminds me a bit too much of Seinfeld.
[name]Alexa[/name]- This is nice and definitely better than some of the [name]Alex[/name] feminizations. It sounds more exotic than [name]Alexis[/name] for example.
[name]Cora[/name]- [name]One[/name] of my favorite names. So pretty and has such a cute meaning, I just adore this name.
[name]Camille[/name]- This has been growing on my recently along with [name]Camilla[/name]. I think it offers very cute nn options ([name]Cammie[/name] and [name]Millie[/name]).
[name]Zoe[/name]- Not a bad name, but it seems to be the most “popular” choice on your list, I’m not sure if that concerns you.
[name]Vivienne[/name]- Very pretty sound and I like that you used the French spelling. That somehow makes it seem much more feminine to me.
[name]Liam[/name]- Great name but wildly popular. He would probably be one of many in his class. I’ve just taken it off my own list for that reason.
[name]Desmond[/name]- I love this name! It sounds so strong and handsome. I put it in the “unused but not unusual” category. So great.
[name]Levi[/name]- Great vowel sounds, that “cool” letter V, and bonus biblical associations. I like it as a more original substitution for [name]Liam[/name].
[name]Joel[/name]- To me this name always seems very lyrical and flows off the tongue nicely, like it should be sung instead of spoken. I love it.
[name]Ian[/name]- Another one of my favorites. An “all around good guy” type of name that has a great deal of favorable namesakes.
=]
I went to school with a [name]Camille[/name]. She was nice and everyone called her “[name]Cam[/name]”. I also like “[name]Camilla[/name].” [name]Vivienne[/name] is my other fave on your list. “[name]Vienna[/name]” seems to be a new, modernized version of [name]Vivienne[/name]. All the boys names on your list are fine- some of them are too popular for my taste, but they’re all tasteful:-) [name]Joel[/name] is my favorite of your picks because it’s under-used if you ask me. [name]Desmond[/name] is a nice sounding name also and fits a male of all ages. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
[name]Elaine[/name] - I also prefer [name]Elena[/name], but [name]Elaine[/name] is still quite pretty. Maybe better for a middle?
[name]Alexa[/name] - Pretty, but [name]Alex[/name] names just seen a little too popular.
[name]Macy[/name] - Cute name, I like the sound of it. Not the best on the list though.
[name]Cora[/name] - I absolutely love this name! Another similar name is [name]Coralie[/name].
[name]Camille[/name] - Not crazy about this name, not terrible but probably my least favorite on your list.
[name]Cassidy[/name] - I don’t really like this one at all.
[name]Maeve[/name] - I like it for a middle name maybe.
[name]Zoe[/name] - Cute, spunky, peppy! I have liked [name]Zoe[/name] for years, I wouldn’t use it though. It may be too popular.
[name]Georgia[/name] - I prefer [name]Georgianna[/name], but I do like this.
[name]Vivienne[/name] - I love this name, the meaning is lovely, and I like how you used the French way.
[name]Weston[/name] - I don’t really like this name a whole lot, but I can see the appeal.
[name]Liam[/name] - It is quite popular, but I just love this name. It’s short and cool and works on any age.
[name]Desmond[/name] - Cool name, I wouldn’t use it but if you like it then go ahead.
[name]Zane[/name] - I had never heard this name until [name]One[/name] Direction, it is really cool but I think you have to be really brave to use it.
[name]Miles[/name] - [name]Miles[/name] is one of those names that I just really like and I don’t know why.
[name]Collin[/name] - [name]Collin[/name] is a very cute name for a little boy and a handsome name for an adult.
[name]Levi[/name] - I love the sound of this, it just sounds so…I don’t know, I just love it! We recently met a very nice boy named [name]Levi[/name]. I really like it.
[name]Joel[/name] - I do like this name, but I always, always think of [name]Billy[/name] [name]Joel[/name]. Not sure if that’s a bad thing, I’ve just been listening to his music my whole life.
[name]Ian[/name] - It’s an alright name, my least favorite of you boys. Sounds too grownup to me.
[name]Elaine[/name]–I really like this name but prefer [name]Helaine[/name] or Helaina, which is a little bit more unusual but the nick name [name]Hallie[/name] can be used.
[name]Alexa[/name] - Too popular for me, prefer [name]Alexandra[/name].
[name]Macy[/name] --To nicknamey.
[name]Cora[/name] --Have a bad association with this name
[name]Camille[/name]–[name]Love[/name] [name]Camille[/name]! Really sweet.
[name]Cassidy[/name]–Bad association.
[name]Maeve[/name]–I love [name]Maeve[/name] but prefer [name]Maeva[/name].
[name]Zoe[/name]–Dislike this name. Reminds me of the QUICK ASK [name]ZOEY[/name] think from learning to type.
[name]Georgia[/name]–cute, prefer [name]Georgiana[/name].
[name]Vivienne[/name]–Very cute name! [name]Love[/name] it! But prefer [name]Vivian[/name].
[name]Weston[/name]–Not my style. Sounds made up, along with all the other -in ending names.
[name]Liam[/name] -Very sweet but I’d consider using [name]William[/name] for nickname [name]Will[/name].
[name]Desmond[/name]-No offense, but Ew.
[name]Zane[/name]-Cute but reminds me of the one direction band.
[name]Miles[/name]–Too tuck everlasting for me.
[name]Collin[/name]–Have an ex with this name.
[name]Levi[/name]–Reminds me of the jeans.
[name]Joel[/name]–[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Joel[/name]. Very sweet, strong, all together great name.
[name]Ian[/name]–Have a very close friend with this name and [name]LOVE[/name] it. I wish I could use it but it is too short and while it is not exactly my style, I’d have to say this is my favorite from your list. I love the name [name]Ian[/name], but I am a bit biased due to my close friend.
[name]Elaine[/name]: Hmm, Im not a fan, sorry! Like others suggested I prefer [name]Elena[/name], [name]Helena[/name] or even [name]Eleanor[/name].
[name]Alexa[/name]: I really love this name. It in my top 5 list. The combo is [name]Alexa[/name] [name]Rose[/name].
[name]Macy[/name]: Sorry, again not a fan.
[name]Cora[/name]: [name]Love[/name] this name so much. I prefer the longer [name]Coralie[/name] because its what we might name a future daughter.
[name]Camille[/name]: [name]Love[/name] this name! A friend has a younger sister with this name and she goes by [name]Mimi[/name] which I adore!
[name]Cassidy[/name]: I don’t know what it is about this name that I really dislike. I like [name]Cass[/name] and [name]Cassie[/name] but [name]Cassidy[/name] is nms.
[name]Maeve[/name]: [name]Lovely[/name] name. I think I prefer [name]Maeva[/name] though.
[name]Zoe[/name]: I really dislike this name.
[name]Georgia[/name]: Really cute, love it!
[name]Vivienne[/name]: I adore this name and who doesn’t love the nn [name]Vivi[/name]!
[name]Weston[/name]: This has been growing on me lately.
[name]Liam[/name]: [name]Love[/name] this name on its own or as a nn for [name]William[/name]
[name]Desmond[/name]: Im sorry but I have to agree with @dayjoysky2815 with this name
[name]Zane[/name]: Very cute, a friend has a brother with this name
[name]Miles[/name]: love.
[name]Collin[/name]: I cannot stand this name
[name]Levi[/name]: Too cute for words!
[name]Joel[/name]: I actually love this name a lot.
[name]Ian[/name]: Have never been a fan, reminds me of the Eastenders character.
Congratulations!
I love [name]Cora[/name], [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Georgia[/name]! I also like [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Camille[/name] (although I prefer [name]Camilla[/name]). The other names feel a little dated to me but could be great in the middle spot. And they are ultimately still nice names!
In terms of the boys, I love [name]Levi[/name] and [name]Miles[/name]. [name]Joel[/name] can be a bit difficult to say in my Australian accent and ‘[name]West[/name]’ doesn’t have great connotations where I live. [name]Liam[/name] is lovely but hugely popular
[name]Elaine[/name] - Dated, plus I have bad associations which puts me off it. Prefer [name]Elena[/name]
[name]Alexa[/name] - Nice but possibly seen as chavvy, I prefer [name]Alexandra[/name] nn [name]Alexa[/name].
[name]Macy[/name] - Chavvy and nicknamey.
[name]Camille[/name] - I quite like this though I find it tricky to say, [name]Camilla[/name]'s easier but I don’t think quite as nice. [name]Love[/name] nn [name]Milly[/name] though.
[name]Cassidy[/name] - Prefer [name]Cassandra[/name], this is too surnamey for me.
[name]Maeve[/name] - I actually quite like this, though you might get people saying it may-eve if that would bother you
[name]Zoe[/name] - Like, prefer this spelling
[name]Georgia[/name] - Prefer [name]Georgina[/name] but an alright name.
[name]Vivienne[/name] - Like spelt [name]Vivian[/name], I find the -enne over the top.
[name]Weston[/name] - Not really a fan, plus nn Westie reminds me of a dog.
[name]Liam[/name] - Nice but probably the most popular on your list if that bothers you
[name]Desmond[/name] - I find this dated and ugly, sorry.
[name]Zane[/name] - Chavvy but I prefer this spelling over any other.
[name]Miles[/name] - Not bad, nothing special though to me
[name]Collin[/name] - Prefer spelt [name]Colin[/name] and a dad name.
[name]Levi[/name] - Not a fan
[name]Joel[/name] - Quite like this one actually
[name]Ian[/name] - Like but again I see it as a dad name.
[name]Elaine[/name] is too dated, but would be fine as a middle name.
I really dislike [name]Alexa[/name] and all the other variations, such as [name]Lexie[/name], [name]Alexis[/name] etc.
[name]Macy[/name] sounds too nicknamey and won’t age too well.
I’ve never liked [name]Zoe[/name] or similar names such as [name]Chloe[/name] because they sound so juvenile.
[name]Camille[/name] is sweet but makes a better middle name [name]IMO[/name].
I like [name]Cora[/name] but slightly prefer [name]Coral[/name] as it just looks complete to me.
I like [name]Cassidy[/name], on a boy or a girl.
[name]Georgia[/name] is pretty.
[name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Vivienne[/name] are easily my favourites from your girls list, both are gorgeous.
[name]Zane[/name], [name]Miles[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] are the standouts on the boy’s list, love those!
[name]Weston[/name] is just a place in the UK, I prefer [name]Wesley[/name].
[name]Levi[/name] is pretty handsome.
[name]Liam[/name] is nice enough but very popular.
Desmon, [name]Collin[/name] and [name]Ian[/name] wouldn’t be taken very seriously in the UK, very much ‘dad’ names and certainly aren’t ready for a comeback.
[name]Elaine[/name] - dislike spelling, dislike pn. I like [name]Elena[/name] with spanish pn
[name]Alexa[/name] - like [name]Alexis[/name] more
[name]Macy[/name] - cute and sweet
[name]Cora[/name] - dislike, but nice… for someone else’s child
[name]Camille[/name] - love!
[name]Cassidy[/name] - like [name]Cassia[/name], [name]Cassie[/name] more
[name]Maeve[/name] - dislike
[name]Zoe[/name] - love, my favorite
[name]Georgia[/name] - ok, nice
[name]Vivienne[/name] - on my list
[name]Weston[/name] - like
[name]Liam[/name] - like
[name]Desmond[/name] - ok
[name]Zane[/name] - dislike
[name]Miles[/name] - my gradpa is Mile. Dislike
[name]Collin[/name] - ok
[name]Levi[/name] - dislike
[name]Joel[/name] - dislike
[name]Ian[/name] - ok, love if you pn it like [name]Yan[/name].
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Here’s my opinions:
Girls
[name]Elaine[/name]: Reminds me too much of the ‘annoying’ care worker in the kid’s TV show ‘[name]Tracy[/name] Beaker’.
[name]Alexa[/name]: Gorgeous! [name]One[/name] of my favourite names! Could have the nickname [name]Lexie[/name] which is cute!
[name]Macy[/name]: Very cute, really like this! Reminds me of [name]Macy[/name] [name]Gray[/name], who I really love!
[name]Cora[/name]: Nice, I love how it looks on paper but the sounds are too much like ‘corr!’. I don’t know if you’re English but sometimes we say that when we’re shocked/surprised etc. Could have bullying potential.
[name]Camille[/name]: Pretty, and a bit different.
[name]Cassidy[/name]: This is cool, bit of a spin on [name]Cassandra[/name]. I like both names, especially love the nickname [name]Cassie[/name]!
[name]Maeve[/name]: Confusing to pronounce. [name]Don[/name]'t really like the sound. Prefer [name]Mae[/name].
[name]Zoe[/name]: Cute! Like this.
[name]Georgia[/name]: [name]Don[/name]'t like any [name]George[/name] names on girls.
[name]Vivienne[/name]: Pretty and different! Like [name]Viviana[/name]/[name]Vivianna[/name] too
Top 3 Girls
[name]Alexa[/name]
[name]Macy[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]
Boys
[name]Weston[/name]: I live near a place called [name]Weston[/name]-super-[name]Mare[/name] and it’s a really tacky town! Bad connotations.
[name]Liam[/name]: It’s okay, I know someone called [name]Liam[/name] who isn’t exactly my cup of tea, so again, bad connotations.
[name]Desmond[/name]: [name]Don[/name]'t like at all. Bullying potential as it’s not very ‘cool’.
[name]Zane[/name]: Quite cool, reminds me of [name]Zane[/name] [name]Lowe[/name], a DJ who I really like!
[name]Miles[/name]: [name]Don[/name]'t see this as a name.
[name]Collin[/name]: Really middle-aged.
[name]Levi[/name]: [name]Don[/name]'t like.
[name]Joel[/name]: [name]Don[/name]'t like.
[name]Ian[/name]: Too middle-aged.
[name]Elaine[/name] - I don’t know how I feel about [name]Elaine[/name], it’s not a terrible name but I prefer [name]Elena[/name], but even then it sounds too much like [name]Alanna[/name].
[name]Alexa[/name] - [name]Alexa[/name] is usually a short form of [name]Alexanda[/name], and I even know [name]Alexa[/name]'s who short it down to just [name]Alex[/name] or [name]Allie[/name], I prefer [name]Alice[/name].
[name]Macy[/name] - Not a bad name, I think of the store too much.
[name]Cora[/name] - I really like this name. It’s a really happy name, haven’t heard it around much.
[name]Camille[/name] - I really like this name too, although I know a lot of polish boys with the name [name]Kamil[/name]. I almost prefer [name]Camilla[/name] just to make it sound more feminine.
[name]Cassidy[/name] - Never liked this name, don’t like this name. [name]Don[/name]'t like [name]Cassandra[/name], [name]Cassie[/name], [name]Cassidy[/name], none.
[name]Maeve[/name] - I like this name! [name]Haven[/name]'t heard it around too often, it’s very stylish.
[name]Zoe[/name] - Pretty neutral about this name, don’t love it, don’t hate it.
[name]Georgia[/name] - I really enjoy this name. I don’t like the name [name]George[/name], but I do fancy the name [name]Georgia[/name]. The classic sound of it is just really appealing.
[name]Vivienne[/name] - Absolutely love this name, my favourite name on your female list. It’s also one of my favourites.
[name]Weston[/name] - I like this name, no really critique.
[name]Liam[/name] - I like this name, although I always associate it with [name]William[/name], just a shorter version.
[name]Desmond[/name] - reminds me too much of [name]Diamond[/name], just never really fond of this name.
[name]Zane[/name] - I like this name, but I always associate it with the word ‘Insane’ and I know a [name]Zane[/name], and he is insane.
[name]Miles[/name] - I like this name, but I almost prefer it to be spelt [name]Myles[/name] to make it more of a name than a word.
[name]Collin[/name] - Neutral about this name. Prefer [name]Collins[/name] as a last name.
[name]Levi[/name] - Not a bad name, I’m neutral about this name too. It’s very stylish, and ‘hipster’ almost.
[name]Joel[/name] - Not very fond of this name. I feel [name]Joel[/name] is a very immature name, it sounds good for a child, but after the age of 20 it just sounds weird.
[name]Ian[/name] - Neutral.
[name]Elaine[/name]-don’t care for, very harsh to my ears
[name]Alexa[/name]-like
[name]Macy[/name]-okay
[name]Cora[/name]-love

[name]Collin[/name]-love
[name]Levi[/name]-like
[name]Joel[/name]-love
[name]Ian[/name]-okay
[name]Elaine[/name] - Ehh, it’s okay. I used to have it as a middle name on my list but I’m not really a fan anymore.
[name]Alexa[/name] - Cute! I like it, it sounds sweet and girly.
[name]Macy[/name] - I don’t like it, never have. It sounds too nicknamey for my taste and reminds me of the department store.
[name]Cora[/name] - I like it as a nickname to [name]Cordelia[/name], but I think it’s dull on it’s own.
[name]Camille[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name. So pretty, sophisticated and classy. [name]Milly[/name] and [name]Cami[/name] are great nicknames.
[name]Cassidy[/name] - I like it, but I do think it’s very surnamey. I prefer [name]Cassandra[/name] or just [name]Cassie[/name].
[name]Maeve[/name] - Not a fan.
[name]Zoe[/name] - I like it a lot. This is my favorite spelling by far.
[name]Georgia[/name] - I used to like it, not so much anymore. It sounds a little too southern for me.
[name]Vivienne[/name] - It’s kind of trendy right now, so that kind of puts me off.
[name]Weston[/name] - Same as with [name]Georgia[/name].
[name]Liam[/name] - It’s okay, but very popular. Nothing I would personally use.
[name]Desmond[/name] - I kind of like it. Sounds sophisticated.
[name]Zane[/name] - I don’t like it. it’s just one of those “meh” names for me, but I know a [name]Zane[/name] who has probably affected my opinion on the name.
[name]Miles[/name] - I prefer [name]Milo[/name], but [name]Miles[/name] is very handsome.
[name]Collin[/name] - I prefer the spelling [name]Colin[/name], but I think it’s a great name and it’ll age well.
[name]Levi[/name] - I know someone who just named their daughter son [name]Levi[/name], so I guess I’m biased, but I love it!! Sounds strong.
[name]Joel[/name] - Not a fan. It’s very plain to me.
[name]Ian[/name] - Cute.
[name]Elaine[/name] - This is pretty and simple, nice choice. I think it makes a good middle name, it seems to flow well in that spot.
[name]Alexa[/name] - This is also pretty although I love [name]Alexandra[/name]!
[name]Macy[/name] - This is really cute. I have a friend with a little [name]Macie[/name]. It does seem a tad nicknamish for me, but really adorable.
[name]Cora[/name] - I have never been able to like this name and I don’t even know why. It seems popular on nameberry though!
[name]Camille[/name]- This is a pretty name and very flowy!
[name]Cassidy[/name] - I really like this name. Some say it is too masculine or surnamish, but I think [name]Cassi[/name] makes a cute nickname!
[name]Maeve[/name] -I prefer just regular [name]Mae[/name]/[name]May[/name] but this is a nice middle choice or a simple first name.
[name]Zoe[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name], it’s on my own list!
[name]Georgia[/name] - I don’t love this one, I just think state. I do kind of like [name]Georgiana[/name], though I don’t think I’d use it.
[name]Vivienne[/name]- I really like this. I also adore [name]Viviana[/name] and went back and forth between the two for a while.
[name]Weston[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name], it’s my 2nd boys name! ([name]Weston[/name] [name]Jude[/name] [name]Elias[/name]) I love the nn wes or west.
[name]Liam[/name] - This is a handsome name, super popular, but still a great choice.
[name]Desmond[/name] - I am not too found of this one, but it is a nice strong name.
[name]Zane[/name] - I knew the most adorable little boy named [name]Zane[/name] and though it’s not my style, I just picture him and think its a soft yet spunky choice.
[name]Miles[/name] - I don’t care for this one at all. I don’t know why. I dont like [name]Milo[/name] at all either.
[name]Collin[/name] - This one is okay. [name]Conner[/name] seems a similar style and I prefer it much more than [name]Collin[/name].
[name]Levi[/name] - I really like this one. My son [name]Cuyler[/name] was almost [name]Levi[/name] [name]Jamison[/name] and I currently have it on my list as a middle to [name]Gabriel[/name].
[name]Joel[/name] - I’ve always liked this name, but I know two so it’s out for me.
[name]Ian[/name] - I’m not a huge fan of this one. I do like [name]Ethan[/name] a lot though.
