What do you think of these? 🌵

[FreyByTheWay]

I hope you don’t mind, but I literally rated every name. This is part one

[name_m]Anchor[/name_m] - 7/10 I like this one, especially on a girl. The symbolism of being strong and grounded would serve a child well and I like the sea imagery.

[name_f]Apple[/name_f] - 5/10 It’s been used as the default “wacky celebrity name” to the point that it no longer feels that out there. It has a cheerful sound. Not my favourite on this list, but a nice choice, especially in the middle.

[name_m]Athens[/name_m] 9/10 This one is a favourite for me. Its evocative, unfamiliar but very name-like, and fresh. Would love to meet a little [name_m]Athens[/name_m].

[name_m]Auburn[/name_m] - 7/10 I like the autumnal vibes, it feels like [name_f]Aubrey[/name_f] for the odd beat. It’s a solid choice.

Avenue - 4/10 Absolutely beautiful sound, but it’s just too similar to naming a child “street”. The meaning feels too every day for me personally.

[name_m]Berlin[/name_m] - 5/10 It’s a good name, I have no critiques, it just isn’t my favourite sound wise. Maybe the B followed by a lin ending feels too trendy for me?

Bingley - 2/10 [name_f]Love[/name_f] the character, but this name just makes me think of the search engine.

[name_f]Bliss[/name_f] - 6/10 It’s a very nice meaning, but something about the sound just isn’t clicking for me.

[name_m]Booth[/name_m] - 2/10 [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Wilkes[/name_m] [name_m]Booth[/name_m] and restaurant plastic and rhyming with “tooth” - I feel like there’s a lot of odd or negative associations.

[name_m]Bramble[/name_m] - 9/10 [name_f]Love[/name_f], love, love [name_m]Bramble[/name_m]. It feels like a wilder sister to [name_f]Briar[/name_f], and I love plant names for girls that have a bit of bite to them. Brambles don’t have to be pretty or delicate.

[name_m]Brave[/name_m] - 6/10 I prefer [name_m]Bravery[/name_m], it feels a bit more complete to me. I do also worry about putting a bit of personality pressure on a kid with a name so tied to a specific trait. But bravery can come in many forms and it’s a lovely trait to instill in a little one.

[name_f]Brindle[/name_f] - 4/10 I want to like this one more and I almost do, I think the association with dog fur is tripping me up.

[name_f]Bristol[/name_f] - 6/10 Very pretty, and I like the ol ending.

[name_m]Bronze[/name_m] - 6/10 I could get behind this one. It feels fun and evokes images of heat and metal and shine in a way that’s fun. I’m not sure it would work on a person who’s too pale, though.

[name_f]Burgundy[/name_f] - 5/10 Has a nice rhythm, it’s just not a colour I particularly like.

Byers - 1/10 I feel like it’s a bit too corporate. Like the little one is a potential buyer from the moment of birth.

[name_m]Calgary[/name_m] - 6/10 It’s got a nice rhythm and potential nickname [name_f]Callie[/name_f]. Also a good way to honour a [name_m]Gary[/name_m] in the family (I have one in mine and it’s a tricky name to modernize, especially for a girl).

[name_m]Calvert[/name_m] - 4/10. I prefer [name_m]Calgary[/name_m], but the v in the middle has done fun energy.

[name_m]Campion[/name_m] - 7/10 Very cool. I like that it’s one letter from champion but it’s got a more streamlined sound and it’s another unfrilly floral name. Cam/Cami could be a cute nickname.

Capulet - 7/10 [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] for more offbeat tastes. I like the -let ending and the flow of the name. Nicknames [name_m]Cap[/name_m] or [name_f]Cali[/name_f] are also cute. It’s growing on me the more I sit with it.

Carpenter - 7/10 Always makes me think of [name_f]Karen[/name_f] Carpenter, but I don’t think that many younger people will and her music is gorgeous. Daring and interesting choice. I think people might shorten it to Carrie/Cari, which I don’t love, but there’s also [name_m]Pen[/name_m] which is super fun.

[name_m]Castle[/name_m] - 8/10 Such a cool name with more mainstream nickname [name_m]Cass[/name_m] built right in.

[name_m]Castor[/name_m] - 2/10 I want to like this more than I do. The fact that [name_m]Castor[/name_m] oil is a laxative really damages the appeal of the sound.

Cavalry - 7/10 I prefer Cavalry over [name_m]Calgary[/name_m], they both have the same Cassidy-esque rhythm but Cavalry is so bold and heroic. Cav is also such a cool nickname.

Chambers - 3/10 Makes me think of bedrooms. It feels a bit to me like an old timey butler name from a murder mystery who definitely did it.

[name_f]Channary[/name_f] - 9/10 I have such a soft spot for [name_f]Channary[/name_f]. I love that it means “moon girl” in Cambodian, I love the similarity to words like chant and chance, I love how it sounds so preppy and on trend while having this deeper meaning. I’d love to meet a little [name_f]Channary[/name_f].

[name_m]Channing[/name_m] - 5/10 I’m always hesitant to use names that are highly associated with one celeb because you never know if that person will do something that darkens the name association. I’ll say that here and judge the names on their merits. [name_m]Channing[/name_m] is nice - I love that -ing ending, but I think [name_f]Channary[/name_f] is the more appealing name overall.

Chapell - 8/10 Very associated with [name_f]Chappell[/name_f] [name_m]Roan[/name_m] right now but it’s just so cute. Such a light, bright sound and chapel captures all the nice, comfortable, pretty aspects of church. I picture a sweet little country chapel and even as a non religious person, it’s an appealing concept.

[name_m]Chaplin[/name_m] - 6/10 The chap sound feels stronger in this name, but it does feel very name like with that lin ending and has a nice cheery sound.

[name_f]Chesney[/name_f] - 7/10 Reminds me of [name_f]Tesni[/name_f], a name I absolutely adore. Fun, maybe a bit trendy, but a cute name all around.

[name_m]Chord[/name_m] - 6/10 I like this, it’s simple, conjures images of music and working together. Might be a bit teasable if the child isn’t musically inclined, but feels confident and fun regardless.

Chrome - 2/10 Too Google chrome for me.

[name_m]Clancy[/name_m] - 6/10 I picture a smooth talking little detective with this name, feels like a more androgynous, modern [name_f]Claire[/name_f].

[name_m]Clemens[/name_m] - 4/10 I think I prefer maybe [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. This name feels slightly incomplete and I’m not a huge fan of [name_m]Clem[/name_m], but for someone who loves that nickname and wants something more streamlined, this could be great.

[name_m]Cobalt[/name_m] - 8/10 Very cool. I picture a really confident, bright person with a lot of charisma. [name_m]Coby[/name_m] or [name_f]Coco[/name_f] are really cute short forms too.

[name_m]Connelly[/name_m] - 7/10 [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] sound. I’m not a huge [name_f]Connie[/name_f] fan which gives me a bit of pause, but the elly end is so nice on paper.

Corduroy - 6/10 Makes me think of Corduroy [name_m]Bear[/name_m], but it’s a sweet association. If Paisley’s so popular, why not?

[name_m]Costello[/name_m] - 3/10 I don’t know why, it’s just not sparking much for me. Maybe the “cost” part is throwing me off.

[name_m]Courtland[/name_m] - 8/10 I don’t know why, but I’ve always liked this one. Sometimes taste is just random, I guess.

Courts - 7/10 I like a lot as a cute nickname for [name_m]Courtland[/name_m], less on its own. Too similar to quarts.

[name_m]Credence[/name_m] - 3/10 This would probably be higher without those awful Fantastic Beasts movies.

[name_m]Creed[/name_m] - 2/10 Reminds me too much of the creepy guy from The Office (American). I do like the idea of encouraging a child to live by a set of principles, but creed has also been used to describe harmful or extremist beliefs as well.

[name_f]Crescent[/name_f] - 6/10 Feels like a modern [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]. I like of crescent rolls and the crescent moon.

[name_f]Cricket[/name_f] 8/10 - I love [name_f]Cricket[/name_f]. So cute and again, I like nature names for girls that convey energy and aren’t necessarily about passive beauty.

[name_m]Culver[/name_m] - 5/10 Feels too fast food and I don’t love the sound.

[name_m]Cypress[/name_m] - 6/10 I love a tree name and [name_m]Cy[/name_m] is a super cool day-to-day name.

[name_f]Daytona[/name_f] - 7/10 Makes me think of [name_f]Jackie[/name_f] [name_f]Daytona[/name_f] from What We [name_f]Do[/name_f] in the Shadows, but it’s a one-episode reference that just makes me smile, tbh. This one is so sunny.

[name_f]December[/name_f] - 8/10 Makes me picture all the best parts of winter; fresh snow and hot chocolate, cosy fires and ice skating. [name_f]Love[/name_f] Dess and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] as nicknames.

Delaware - 6/10 Gets to Dela in a very cool and unexpected way.

[name_f]Delight[/name_f] - 4/10 Sweet, but very associated with desserts for me and might be a bit ironic during the tantrum phase.

[name_m]Dempsey[/name_m] - 3/10 Feels a bit too dumpy to me.

[name_m]Denali[/name_m] - 6/10 [name_f]Love[/name_f] a mountain name. I feel like it’s so grounded and vast a destiny to give a child. [name_m]Denali[/name_m] also has a lovely sound.

[name_m]Diem[/name_m] - 3/10 Honestly, not really sure what to do with this name. [name_m]Diem[/name_m] as in Carpe [name_m]Diem[/name_m] has a nice sound and meaning, but my first instinct is to say “dime”.

[name_m]Diesel[/name_m] - 2/10 I get the appeal in a [name_m]Rocket[/name_m] or [name_f]Rebel[/name_f] kind of way, but [name_m]Diesel[/name_m] feels a bit too gasoline and cartoon-y.

[name_m]Dover[/name_m] - 3/10 Reminds me too much of the [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_m]Dover[/name_m] joke, which is a shame because the sound is really nice.

[name_m]Draper[/name_m] - 2/10 I can’t really get past the last five letters.

[name_m]Drummer[/name_m] - 7/10 I like [name_m]Drummer[/name_m] a lot. It feels very marching to the beat of one’s own drum, it’s musical like [name_f]Harper[/name_f] but more unique.

[name_m]Drummond[/name_m] - 4/10 I just really prefer [name_m]Drummer[/name_m].

[name_m]Dublin[/name_m] - 6/10 Everything I like about [name_m]Berlin[/name_m] but a little more offbeat and unusual.

Dunaway - 7/10 Has such a cool sound, I’m a sucker for any name ending in -way.

[name_m]Dutch[/name_m] - 4/10 Feels a bit odd to name a child after a nationality or ethnicity or group of people to me, but the sound isn’t bad and if the family has some connection to [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] culture, I think it could work.

[name_m]Dynasty[/name_m] - 3/10 Makes me think of drama TV shows and the nasty ending kind of soils a nice sound.

[name_m]Eclipse[/name_m] - 5/10 Very associated with [name_m]Twilight[/name_m] for me, but I do love the nature meaning.

[name_m]Ferris[/name_m] - 3/10 Too [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] Beuller.

[name_m]Fielder[/name_m] - 5/10 I like [name_m]Field[/name_m] as a concept and it’s pleasantly sporty.

[name_m]Fields[/name_m] - 5/10 Especially cute as a nickname for a [name_m]Fielder[/name_m]

[name_f]Flannery[/name_f] - 5/10 Not a huge fan of the Flan beginning, but it’s fun and would be cute on a little one.

Flyer - 4/10 I love the idea of flying high, not as fond of the papers that get shoved in my hand on the way to the supermarket.

[name_f]Galaxy[/name_f] - 6/10 I think of the chocolate brand, but also a beautiful nature meaning and I love nickname [name_f]Gal[/name_f].

[name_m]Gambit[/name_m] - 4/10 It feels a bit too comic bookey for me.

[name_m]Garland[/name_m] - 7/10 It evokes Old Hollywood and garlands of flowers. Really nice.

[name_m]Gates[/name_m] - 6/10 Cool sound, but it feels like something’s missing for me.

[name_m]Gatsby[/name_m] - 8/10 I love an unusual literary name. The original does have some heavy themes (including abuse and racism) so it may be a book to be proactive in teaching the child about, but the name [name_m]Gatsby[/name_m] does evoke some beautiful imagery and a profound story.

[name_f]Gidget[/name_f] - 2/10 Sounds too much like the m slur to me.

Giverny - 4/10 I’m not usually into luxury brands as names, but it has a nice sound.

[name_m]Groves[/name_m] - 3/10 It’s a lovely image, but the sound of the name feels a bit dark and creepy, maybe because of graves.

[name_m]Hart[/name_m] - 7/10 I think this is sweet and simple and I like that it evokes all of the associations we have with a heart in a trim surnamey package.

[name_m]Harvest[/name_m] - 7/10 A little bit hippie, but in a nice way. I love the association with autumn, harvest moons, and planning ahead and caring for nature.

[name_f]Hathaway[/name_f] - 7/10 I associate it with [name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_f]Hathaway[/name_f] the actor and Shakespeare’s wife, so it feels very literary and theatrical.

[name_f]Horizon[/name_f] - 6/10 Feels so full of possibility.

Hyland - 5/10 Has a really nice sound.

[name_f]Joplin[/name_f] - 5/10 [name_f]Janis[/name_f] [name_f]Joplin[/name_f] is a nice association, but the sound on its own isn’t my favourite.

Joyner - 4/10 [name_f]Love[/name_f] the “joy” not a fan of the “join her” sound.

[name_m]Kansas[/name_m] - 5/10 I wouldn’t think of this one, but it’s kind of cool. Makes me think of prairies and picturesque farms.

[name_m]Keane[/name_m] - 7/10 [name_f]Love[/name_f] the meaning “ancient” and that it looks like keen, meaning clever and enthusiastic.

[name_m]Kearney[/name_m] - 6/10 The meaning “victory” is very cool and [name_m]Kearney[/name_m] sounds cute. I’d love to see it on a kid.

[name_m]Keating[/name_m] - 6/10 Nice literary association and good sound

[name_m]Kessler[/name_m] - 5/10 I wish I liked this one more. The [name_f]Kess[/name_f] beginning is very pleasing, but I’m not a huge fan of the full sound. It makes me think middle manager.

[name_m]Keyes[/name_m] - 7/10 [name_m]Sharp[/name_m] and stylish, I like the idea of opening doors.

[name_m]Kiefer[/name_m] - 4/10 [name_m]Just[/name_m] not a fan. The sound doesn’t work for me.

[name_f]Kismet[/name_f] - 3/10 I find it odd to name a child after a spiritual concept, especially for a religion the child may not be a part of.

[name_m]Knightley[/name_m] - 7/10 Very cool sound.

[name_m]Kodiak[/name_m] - 4/10 Makes me think of the camera company. Still a fun way to get to [name_m]Kodi[/name_m].

[name_m]Laramie[/name_m] - 5/10 A lot of cowboy cool, but just doesn’t hit for me.

[name_f]Larkin[/name_f] - 8/10 I love “Lark” names, and Larkin’s surnamey and smooth.

Lawler - 2/10 Makes me think [name_m]Lawyer[/name_m] and Brawler.

[name_m]Lazuli[/name_m] - 7/10 I love nickname Laz and the sound of the full name, plus the association with the beautiful stone.

[name_m]Levitt[/name_m] - 5/10 Cool streamlined surname.

[name_f]Levity[/name_f] - 4/10 [name_f]Levity[/name_f] can be very welcome in some scenarios, but seems like it would be hard to wear every day.

[name_f]Lively[/name_f] - 8/10 I love [name_f]Lively[/name_f]. I think it’s so bright and charming and feminine.

[name_m]Livingston[/name_m] - 7/10 Seems a bit severe, but I love the [name_f]Liv[/name_f] beginning and it’s ultimately very sleek.

[name_m]Loyal[/name_m] - 3/10 It’s a nice virtue, but something about it seems odd as a name to me.

[name_m]Lyons[/name_m] - 6/10 I’m not sure whether to pronounce in lee-ons or lie-ons, but both are nice and I love the way it looks on paper.

[name_f]Merced[/name_f] - 4/10 Feels like someone was trying to type [name_f]Mercedes[/name_f] and got cut off.

[name_m]Mercury[/name_m] - 7/10 Highly cool and I like a planet name. There is the toxic material to think about, but the sound is still really nice and I think it works overall.

[name_m]Merritt[/name_m] - 6/10 A good solid name, but I think it’s just slightly overused.

[name_m]Monaco[/name_m] - 4/10 Makes me think of rich people on yachts. Luxurious maybe, but not particularly soulful.

Nebraska - 4/10 I prefer [name_f]Alaska[/name_f].

[name_m]Nevada[/name_m] - 5/10 I lived in [name_m]Nevada[/name_m] as well and there is something romantic about desert evenings and the open road and [name_f]Vegas[/name_f] lights.

[name_f]Nimue[/name_f] - 7/10 The association with the [name_f]Lady[/name_f] of the [name_f]Lake[/name_f] elevates this name for me despite having a less than stunning sound.

[name_m]North[/name_m] - 4/10 I get the appeal of [name_m]True[/name_m] [name_m]North[/name_m] and the [name_m]North[/name_m] star and the Northern lights, but the sound just isn’t there for me and it’s very tied to [name_m]North[/name_m] [name_m]West[/name_m].

[name_f]Oasis[/name_f] 6/10 Cool band, cool sound, cool image. I like the implication of finding lushness and beauty in harsh environments as well.

[name_f]Petal[/name_f] - 7/10 [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] and soft and colourful, but I’d prefer to use it as a pet name and put something less delicate on the birth certificate.

[name_m]Pine[/name_m] - 4/10 Fresh and interesting tree name, but perhaps a bit too pine sol scented.

[name_m]Quest[/name_m] - 6/10 Very cool name, evocative and gives a sense of destiny to a little one.

Reacher - 2/10 Feels a bit creepy.

[name_m]Redding[/name_m] - 3/10 There’s a city near [name_f]London[/name_f] called [name_m]Redding[/name_m] and it wouldn’t necessarily inspire a namesake imo.

[name_m]Reeves[/name_m] - 7/10 Cool sound

Region - 2/10 Feels a bit too mundane and well, regional.

[name_f]Rumer[/name_f] - 9/10 I have such a soft spot for [name_f]Rumer[/name_f]. I love the sound, the way it looks, nicknames [name_f]Rue[/name_f] and [name_f]Rumi[/name_f]. It’s just a great name.

[name_m]Rydell[/name_m] - 7/10 Interesting name with a really nice sound.

[name_f]Sabre[/name_f] - 6/10 I’m not sure how I feel about weapon names, but [name_f]Sabre[/name_f] is definitely the coolest of them.

[name_m]Satchel[/name_m] - 6/10 Makes me think of [name_m]Satchel[/name_m] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]. Effortlessly confident.

[name_m]Saturn[/name_m] - 7/10 I’ve not thought of [name_m]Saturn[/name_m] as a baby name before, but it really works.

[name_m]Sayers[/name_m] - 3/10 I feel like this one blends it with all the Sawyers and Sailors.

[name_f]September[/name_f] - 5/10 I prefer other month names, but this one isn’t bad. I like the images of early fall and the leaves turning and cool breezes.

Shelter - 6/10 Comforting and warm, but with a modern sound.

Shepler - 6/10 I love the name [name_m]Shepard[/name_m] so much I think I like this name better by association. But I’d rather use [name_m]Shepard[/name_m].

[name_f]Sheridan[/name_f] - 7/10 Really nice name, but feels a bit trendy to me. Not quite as fresh as some of the others here.

[name_m]Shields[/name_m] - 3/10 A little too sci fi.

[name_f]Shine[/name_f] - 6/10 Sweet name, a little bit literal but a lovely way to emphasize the light a baby brings into a family’s life.

[name_m]Silver[/name_m] - 8/10 I like [name_m]Silver[/name_m]. It’s so pretty and strong at the same time. I’d love to meet a little [name_m]Silver[/name_m].

[name_m]Sparks[/name_m] - 4/10 I like it better as a nickname.

Spears - 3/10 I do love [name_f]Britney[/name_f] Spears, but I think her name is hers alone.

Stocklin - 2/10 A little too stock market.

[name_m]Suede[/name_m] - 3/10 [name_m]Just[/name_m] doesn’t do it for me.

Sutherland - 6/10 I actually do really like this name. Sounds preppy, but smooth.

[name_f]Swayze[/name_f] - 3/10 Looks super cool on paper, but makes me think of the word “sleezy”.

[name_m]Taurus[/name_m] - 3/10 A little too bullish for me.

[name_f]Teal[/name_f] - 7/10 [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] colour and a trim, nice little name.

[name_m]Teller[/name_m] - 1/10 Makes me think of a bank teller or tattle tale.

[name_f]Tempest[/name_f] - 8/10 Big fan of [name_f]Tempest[/name_f]. Might feel a bit too appropriate during the toddler years, but I like girls names that emphasize the power of nature. I also really like the potential nickname [name_f]Tessie[/name_f].

Tennant - 6/10 [name_m]Strong[/name_m] association with [name_m]David[/name_m] Tennant, but I like the concept of a flag bearing little one who sticks to their principles.

[name_m]Tennessee[/name_m] - 6/10 I like the association with [name_m]Tennessee[/name_m] [name_m]Williams[/name_m], not sure I like the inevitable “only ten I see” jokes.

[name_m]Tenzin[/name_m] - 6/10 [name_f]Beautiful[/name_f] name, but I would expect the child or family to have some link to Buddhism or Tibet as a nation.

[name_m]Theory[/name_m] - 2/10 A bit too intangible and wishy washy. I get that scientific theories are more concrete and solid, but the popular association with theory is just an idea or guess and it’s not the most confident meaning for a child.

[name_f]Thistle[/name_f] - 6/10 Cool sound, I like it more the more I picture it.

[name_m]Thorne[/name_m] - 7/10 I like [name_m]Thorne[/name_m] a lot. [name_m]Sharp[/name_m] (literally) and has a cool sound.

[name_f]Tierney[/name_f] - 7/10 Not on my personal short list, but a lovely name with a very bright, happy sound.

Tisdale - 6/10 So sleek and cute at the same time. One of the more pleasing celebrity surname names for me.

Toledo - I wouldn’t use this one unless I had a connection to the city. The name isn’t bad, but there’s nothing in the sound that leaps out to me.

[name_f]Topanga[/name_f] - 2/10 This name is all [name_m]Boy[/name_m] Meets World to me.

[name_f]Topaz[/name_f] - 3/10 I’m just not a fan of the sound.

[name_f]Topeka[/name_f] - 3/10 [name_m]Just[/name_m] isn’t hitting, similar to Toledo

[name_m]Towers[/name_m] - 2/10 [name_m]Just[/name_m] feels too ordinary and noun-ey.

[name_m]Townsend[/name_m] - 6/10 Really nice sound, but I don’t see any fun nickname options, which I personally prefer to have in a surname name.

Tracker - 1/10 I don’t have any positive associations with trackers and it’s not a very nice sound.

[name_f]Tuesday[/name_f] - 7/10 A pleasant day name with a nice tinsely sound.

[name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] - 6/10 A beautiful name, simple yet stand out. However, the history of [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] is complicated. It was the site of [name_m]Black[/name_m] wall street, and also the site of a white supremacist massacre and years of racist violence. I think it’s the responsibility of every parent to have frank conversations with their child about racism, but it may be especially important with a little [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f].

[name_f]Tupelo[/name_f] - 3/10 Intriguing sound, but not for me.

Tuscany - 7/10 Very cool sound. One of my favourites of the Italian place names.

[name_f]Unity[/name_f] - 6/10 I’m not a huge fan of the -ity names, but [name_f]Unity[/name_f] is a noble message and a pretty name.

[name_m]Utah[/name_m] - 6/10 I used to live in [name_m]Utah[/name_m] and while it’s full of natural beauty and some lovely places, I also wouldn’t necessarily use it for my own child. [name_m]Utah[/name_m] has some unique challenges other states don’t. That having been said, it’s a fun and unexpected name, so I don’t know.

[name_f]Vale[/name_f] - 7/10 I like how it’s simple and associated with comfort, protection and natural beauty.

[name_f]Velvet[/name_f] - 3/10 Sounds a bit too much like a name from a bodice ripper novel.

[name_f]Venice[/name_f] - 5/10 Nice. [name_m]Just[/name_m] nice. I like the idea of canals and Italian vistas, but it’s not grabbing me as a name.

Venture - 2/10 Too tied to venture capital for me.

[name_f]Vesper[/name_f] - 5/10 I wish I liked this one more. It’s genuinely pretty, it just feels like it’s trying too hard.

[name_m]Voyager[/name_m] - 8/10 Sounds like a fantasy character and I don’t even care, this is just an awesome name. I love it in the middle especially.

[name_m]Weaver[/name_m] - 7/10 Very cool if slightly mythical sounding name.

Westry - 9/10 No notes on this name. It’s just so cool.

[name_f]Windsor[/name_f] - 4/10 I like the “wind” part, but living in [name_f]England[/name_f], [name_f]Windsor[/name_f] feels too tied to the royal family. It has a genuinely cool sound.

[name_f]Winfrey[/name_f] - 4/10 I know the [name_m]Win[/name_m] names are very popular and this has a genuinely nice sound, but I’m not a huge [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] fan and without that there’s not much else here.

[name_f]Winslet[/name_f] - 4/10 Same as [name_f]Winfrey[/name_f].

[name_m]Woods[/name_m] - 7/10 I love this name especially in the middle, evokes green-gold light through trees and beautiful paths in the forest. [name_f]Love[/name_f] a woodsy name and what could be Woodsier than [name_m]Woods[/name_m]?

[name_m]Worth[/name_m] - 3/10 [name_m]Worth[/name_m] is a lovely thing to bestow on a child, but kind of odd as a name.

[name_f]Wyoming[/name_f] - 7/10 Looks amazing on paper and has a cool western vibe.

[name_m]Yardley[/name_m] - 3/10 I just don’t love the sound.
