These are my faves -->

Boys:
Adrian
Andreas - I like this as a MN
Ari - longer name could be Zakari or Omari (only 2 I could think of)
August - I love the NN Auggie!
Dante
Elias
Ezra :)
Felix
Jude
Julian
Leander
Lucian
Matthias
Maximus
Octavius
Oliver
Quinn
William

Girls:
Alessia
Alexandra 'Sasha' - Love the NN Sasha here!
Annabel - I like the spelling Annabelle
Annika
Anya
Aria
Aurelia
Cecily
Emmeline - I like the spelling Emmaline, so you can use the NN Emma.
Evangeline
Francesca - I think the NN Frankie is really cute for this name - kind of dresses it down.
Isla :)
Jessamine
Josephine
Juliet
Lavinia
Penelope - I love the NN Penny.
Seraphina - One of my guilty pleasures too. :)
Violet
Wilhelmina - NN Mina
Willa

I LOVE your name list - we like a lot of the same names! Although, most of the names you would only use as MN, I really like as FN (or MN). So whatever your style is, it's probably my style too.

Scarlett~ love
Seraphina/Seraphine*~ haven't decided if I love or hate it
Violet~ pretty
Wilhelmina~ elegant and nice
Willa~ adore! It's a truly stunning name!


As for your style... People tell me I am classic/traditional with a modern twist, and I adore half your names, so I bet your style must be similar! Especially for names like Nikolai, which has the traditional Nick like Nicholas yet a more modern appeal to it! Or even if you use a combo like Willa Josephine maybe? Willa definitely sounds noe and trendy (though it isn't!!!! Woot! :) ) and romantic! A lot of girls names of this time seem to be the 'romantic' type such as Sophia and Isabel. So it sounds more modern like, and Josephine definitely sounds traditional.

Hope my ramblings make sense... And help lol!

Your list seems has some very nice names on it, but these are my favorites.
Boys:
Adrian
Aleksei*
Alexander 'Sasha'
Andreas
Ari - Ariel? It is a hebrew male name, but now it is feminine, or Aric nn Ari? that may be a stretch
August*
Cassius*
Ezra*
Julian
Nikolai
William


Girls:
Anastasia*
Annelise
Arabella
Audra
Aurelia
Cassia
Dahlia
Evangeline*
Jessamine
Rosalie - I like it, but what about Rosaleen, or Rosalind? I think Rosalie is better though.
Seraphina

My favorties from these are either Ezra or William for boys. And Anasrais is my all time favorite girl name!

Malligal,

The names with asterisks are my favorites, the ones that I would definitley use as first names. My first post was a bit confusing, sorry.

I have noticed before that we have similar tastes!


Hayden Taylor,

I love Willa Josephine! It is on my list! I think 'romantic' describes it perfectly!

Bekas,

I do like Ariel for a boy but I think I would be putting a big mark on him for teasing :) Not sure that I like Aric much. I do like Audric but like you said might be a bit of a stretch.



Thanks all!

I love how romantic Willa sounds, yet it's not abnoxiously popular! I might actually use it someday, hoping that it doesn't spike in popularity <3

I read an article about how the trend for girls names is romantic girls names :) And I had to agree! Sophia, Isabel, Olivia, Chloe, Victoria, etc. All seem to have a romantic feel to it! I kinda like it, though these names would stand out in the way they deserve if they werent so overused :)
