Okay, so I recently ran into a name and fell in love with it... Eli! Ive always kinda liked it. I used to love Elias! But at this moment, just Eli stands out as adorable <3 so that's my top addition! <3

I have only a few general questions: Do you think these names age well? Do you see teasing potential? How would you adjust these names to make them yours?

Answer as you please, however you want <3 those are just general questions in my mind! It's always nice to know if people besides me can see if a name fits the old and young. Or if someone notices a teasing thig that slips right by me. And sometimes, when people adjust the names I end up liking it much more and all that! <3 all opinions are helpful, no matter what <3

Here's the names!

William / Liam Alexander
Chase Nikolai
Finn Riley
Eli Christopher*
Jayson Hunter
Ashton Rhys
Blake Henry
Caleb Noah / Noah Caleb

Sorry, one last question! Would Eli and Liam be too close do you think? Would it help at all if I used William and Eli? I am also kinda liking Will as a nick name, actually.. Undecided <3

Thank you SOOOOO much for all help! <3

Remy. Im so so sorry but our name tastes are SO similar, that im really not going to help much unfortunately... it will be love, love, love all these names.

William / Liam Alexander: LOVE them both! William ages really really well, and Liam makes an adorable nickname!! Awesome name!! <3 Alexander compliments it perfectly!! <3
Chase Nikolai: I adore the name Chase, although I sadly cannot see 'Chase' on an elderly man :/ I dont know why, I guess it just seems like one of those younger names, but who knows in 20years Chase may be as popular on older men, as Harry! I guess time will tell
Finn Riley: I prefer the 'fuller' version Finley.. But then Finley and Riley doesn't go well together.. Finn Rileys adorable though
Eli Christopher: Ahh too cute! Goes so well together and ages well too
Jayson Hunter: Jay I love this combo though Remy! <3 <3
Ashton Rhys: Hahahah sorry, its such a cute name and all but it reminds me of my own name Love the combination though!
Blake Henry: Love it very much Can see it on a Baby, Toddler, Child, Teenager, Adult and an Elderly man
Caleb Noah / Noah Caleb: Two of my favorite names! <3 Loveee. I prefer Noah Caleb.

Mmm, my sister Elyse just said there both really nice names! An she would name her kids Eli and Liam.
I honestly dont think there too close together at all

William nn Liam and Eli ? =

Adore your name list though!!

[Remy Hadley]

Thanks Jaymey and Ash! <3


Haha, especially at this moment I've been loving William more But I've gone back and forth on it. Just like with Kate and Katherine, cause I love love Kate and Katherine is okay. But, I mainly lovethe nick name. So who knows, maybe I'll go with William for its fomrality and I do love it. Then Liam is a perfect nick name <3 William certainly ages extremely well, and Alexander does seem to completment it perfectly! <3

William / Liam Alexander << I'm LOVING William at the moment. (Yes, I love the Prince, Kate is so lucky!) I'm not so big on Alexander, but it fits

I haven't ever kept up with the Prince or anything, so I know nothing of them :/ But, oh well :/ Maybe I can read up on them somtimes or something... <3 I would have never known he'd existed if I wasn't watching TV while getting my nails doine and his wedding stuff came up lol!!!

For Chase, I guess I can't see an elderly Chase myself :/ It's a forever young name <3 But I still love it. Hmm... do you think I should stick with Nikolai Chase? Being that middle names aren't as much a worry for aging and all? Time shall tell if Chase can work on an older manlol! I do love Chase so much though... it makes me think of Doctor Chase in that TV series, House. He's sooo sexy, and I love his accent! Melts!!!! <3 <3 <3

I do kinda like Finley, and Finnegan. But they aren't the same as just Finn lol <3 I kinda do like Flynn, actually. I know someone with the last name Flynn, haha. I can't use Flint though, I have a pokemon named Flint, so it makes me think of a charsard!

I never liked Christopher much before, but I just love how it sounds with Eli! Plus, I've lately been liking the sound of Chris I dunno why. I have a cousin named Christopher actually... though I rarely see him. He lives a state away.. <3 I love how the flow is myself! I kinda like Elijah, but not half as much as just Eli <3 I don't know why, but I just absolutely fell for Eli Christopher! I hope I continue to love if forever, cause I think it'd certainly make a handsome name for a little boy! And it seems at lieast a bit less popular than William/Liam. And it flows so wonderfully <3 I tend to love classics like William, Alexander, Christopher, Katherine, Charlotte, etc. They truly are timeless, and I think they'd age well on any kiddo. I don't know, they just work so nicely! <3

Haha, thanks so much!!! I think Jayson Hunter might be it!!! Haha, I'm so glad for such positive reactions haha! <3

And thanks here as well! I'm loving Ashton Rhys! <3 Hehe, it can be after Auntie Ash So if he ever asks "Why'd you name me Ashton?" I can say "Well, because of your amazingly awesome Auntie Ash!"

I love the flow of this one as well! Blake Henry feels like it'd age super well, very handsome on an elder man, or even a little guy! <3 It seems to work perfectly! <3 Haha, I know nothing of Prince Harry, sorry Haha, I really need to read up more on these people!!!

I'm thinking Noah Caleb does flow much better! But I almost like Caleb Noah just because I like Caleb as a first name more. But I much prefer the flow of Noah Caleb.. <3 So handsome! Gah! I dunno, I'll keep it as Noah Caleb for now <3


Thanks so much for opinions on these!!! Super helpful- and definitely reassuring <3 I need the assurance half the time, haha! Otherwise I get wishy washy on how much I like the names and if they sound good and all <3

I kinda do love that as a sib set! William and Eli, or Liam and Eli <3 I would be the mother to send my kiddos out to play sports while their small, just for the excercize and if they like it they can continue. And I think these names would fit that profile so well! Liam and Eli both sound athletic to me, which works so well <3 I like the sound of athletic names... I dunno, haha! An odd thing I think about <3

Remy. Im so so sorry but our name tastes are SO similar, that im really not going to help much unfortunately... it will be love, love, love all these names.

Adore your name list though!!

♥

Haha, thanks so much Ash! I know what you mean! Every time I go to critique your name list, its so hard to do! Cause it's like "love, Love, LOVE, LOVE!!!!" lol! So I sit there, and stare at them for a while. Then I say them alloud a few times. I think of any teasing potential that might be hidden. Google associations sometimes... haha! And usually, there really isn't anything. But still. Tehehe! <3

Nikolai Chase would work Being a middle name, of course it would rarely be used.. so 'aging' shouldn't be a problem!

Haha, Flynn's really cute But I prefer Finn, a tad more <3

It flows so nicely, since Eli is a short name, Christopher compliments it really well because its longer They flow well together. Eli is definetly less popular then William/Liam, so I agree with you that it's a plus!!

Haha thats soo cool Nawhhh.. :') Ashton Rhys is an awesome name!! <3 <3 <3

Haha didnt you watch the royal wedding? The royal family are always in magazine's and on television, over here but thats most likely because they are Australia's [along with the United Kingdom's] Royal Family!

I do prefer Caleb more as a first name.. but it doesnt flow as well as Noah Caleb does.. so im totally with you their

I adored your names Remy, I couldn't even find any flaws. Our name style is SO close it's crazy

Haha yeah they do sound athletic. I can imagine taking my little guys [and girls too!] surfing!! <3 <3 <3 OH, and dance lessons and soccer.. They can do whatever sport they want though, and if they dont like sport then thats fine too

I know its like, how can I critique this name list, when pretty much every single name is on my list haha. Loved them all!! My little Nieces/Nephews are gonna have the most beautiful/handsome names!! <3 <3

[Remy Hadley]

Mmmm, I think it would work better as a middle name! Now there's a dilemma! Mike says he loves Chase, and he'd use it as a first name. Plus his older brothers name is Nick (Nicholas). So it might be awkward to use Nikolai if his name is Nicholas? They'd both be Nick/Nik (though I say Nik as Neeek, but still very alike... ). I mean, my mother loves Nikolai. She said she really badly wanted to name both my brothers Nico, but my dad didn't like it for either one of them :/ So to her, she'd have the baby Niko she never had! But, it's still a bit close to Mike's brother lol <3 Hmmmmm! Middle names don't have issues with aging, just a middle name. But yeah... Think think think...


I do too Finn <3

I do love the lack of popularity! In my mind, I've been giving up on the popularity thing, cause I think what really matters is if I love the name. And having other people in the class with the name name wont hurt lol. But I definitely do see it as a plus anyways, cause it is always nice to have your own, unique name that isn't also every other kiddo's name lol <3 I'll have to go to the SSA name list and see where Eli is... but I agree! Christopher balances how short Eli is with the length and all <3 I like how it not only looks balanced but said out loud, it looks balanced!

Hehe, it'd be so cute!!! <3 I don't think I'd use it unless I had five boys though :x Oh, it was really funny! I was telling my bff Rye about how I only wanted about two or MAYBE three, and she jynxed me! She's just like "Now that you say that, your going to have quads!!!" I mean, I guess I'd count it as a blessing to have quads- but it'd still be... not so great :/ Not only do I not want more than three.... I'd also have them all at once! BAM! And it'd be horrendous cause I don't think I could ever possibly afford four at once at a time, financially or emotionally, so would I have to adopt two and not the other two? Or what?!?! It's been freaking me out to think of it!

Ohh, I see (: No, I didn't watch it. I would have had to wake up at 3 in the morning... 0.o But I sometimes see them in magazines, but I never really kept up with them. So it's not that they aren't common around here- it's just that I hate reading some magazines because I find it silly to keep up with a celebrities personal life. It not only feels violating, but its just not of interest, I guess. Sometimes I do read up on things, like I read up on the Sixteen and Pregnant thinger in a magazine, and made durrr faces and noises cause the teens were just being absolutely silly. I keep up withtthe babies, if anything! And only some... cause me and my friends are making predictions, and I'm enjoying the cuteness factor and whatnot <3 Like, me and Ki were observing Suri Cruise and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (is that her last name?). And we looked at how they dressed and acted and how the parents would raise and treat them (or as much as the magazine shows of it) and our prediction is that Shiloh will grow up to be a happy, healthy young girl who can freely express herself and truly enjoy life. But Suri seems like the girly that'll be spoiled rotton and end up on drugs and whatnot... (I feel terrible for saying it, but it's true! ). Thats just our personal opinion though <3

Haha, oh well... Noah Caleb // Caleb Noah </3

Aww, thanks so much Ash!!! I love how close our names are!!! We have like, exact tastes in names! That's so happy, haha! <3

Mmm, same! I want them to at least try dance, and a sport. Surfing would be pretty awesome.. but I can't surf so I couldn't teach them... maybe in England they'll have lessons haha! Of course only if they want to, but its still nice to try it out! Baseball, soccor, dance, etc. I do prefer they at least give things a try while their very small, so they can see if they enjoy it or not and continue with it if they like. I read somewhere that raising a kid to persue a talent is very healthy and can help their happiness, cause then they get to get many things down, like persuing, dedication and keeping on trying even after messing up, and the joy of success! Which I can totally see how it would make anyone happy haha! <3 And I'll do anything to make sure my kiddo's are happy and can be <3

Awwww, thanks!!!! As are mine!!!! I can't critique yours cause their like, all favs of mine for the most part!!! <3 I've been loving Brooklyn again because of your name list, haha! <3 Now I'm gunna have to look for names to go with Brooklyn <3 Ah well But it will be awesome playing with the nieces/nephews!!! Though, what happens when me and you want to go hang out and the kiddo's need wathing? Lol, we'll figure it out haha! Don't mind me, I'm getting random images in my head about happenings when me and you are older! You with your British Surfer, drop dead gorgeous And you have two adorable little blond kiddo's, blond as you! And they're the darndest cute little kiddo's! And me and Mike with our two little kiddos- dark brunette curly hair <3 And they'll be best friends! And we'll leave Mike and your hubby home with the kids at night and we'll go shopping!! <3 Or me and you will hang out at the beach with the kiddo's and it'll be adorable <3 And oohhhhh my god! Do you know what would be the most adorable thing?! If my kiddo and your kiddo ended up like, best friends for life and all <3 LOL!!!

Tehehe! Don't mind me- I'm getting so excited! <3

[Starlight]

hahaha awwww!!
You have plenty of time, to figure it out at least

What about Chase Nikolai? Thats cute

Yeah I agree.. I dont care if its popular, if I LOVE it then i'd use it regardless But yeah unique names are easier for the child when it's growing up!

Haha awh Remy!! I doubt your going to EVER have quads so dont worry about it.. <3
It would be BAD, to have two kids and be on your third and then bam quads!!
But it would be extremely hard, but also extremely unlikely

Haha, I know the basics of surfing.. I took lessons and that this year so
I think my talent is names ROFL.
I cant play soccer, cricket and that!! Its just boring to me.
I can DANCE though ;D

Awhhhh hehe
You made me fall even more in love with Noah.
Sounds like an amazingg plan for the future. I suppose our husbands could watch the kids so we can have a night out, once in ahwhile.
That would be SOOO cute! Like BEST FRIENDS.
Imagine if our children got married!!
Their kids would be like half British, a quarter American and a quarter Australian.
[They would have to visit all those places, all the time to see family too!]

hehehehe imagine us as grandmothers <3
We could help name our grandchild!!
Ohhh im getting carried away

♥

[Remy Hadley]

Thank god I do! Otherwise.... Ahhhhhh!

I think I'll just stick with Chase Nikolai I think

Mmmm, 'zactly! I popularity means little, though it's always nice for a unique name <3 I think I should be paying attention to Englands popularity list instead of America's seeing as I wanna be there haha!!

AHHHHH! A nightmare! it'd be all happy at first, I can totally see it in my mind! D: I'm gunna have my two bitty boys, and I see myself hugging Liam and Eli and telling them they are gunna have one more sibling. Then I come home from the doctors like "ohhhh crudge buckets! Uhmm, Liam! Eli! Never mind- your gunna have four more siblings!" such a vivid mental picture to- agh! That can't be good! I saw little Liam, like six years old. A brunet, just like me, with Mike's green eyes and thick hair. And he's in a handsome button up shirt ad dark wash jeans. And Eli is wearing a newsboy cap and he's about four, also brunette like me but brown eyes. He's wearing darkwash jeans as well, and a handsome shirt. And Eli is kinda like "oh, okay. Why four?" and Liam is just like "cause mom loved babies, that's why." hahahah! just beig weird, hahaha!!!!

But yeah, thatd be sad. So many kiddo's! :x you want a couple kiddo's, Ash?

I took dance lessons, haha! But yeah, I'm not talented at very much <3 I am musically inclined.... Bt yeah haha! Maybe I can bring my flute over to England or something. Cant bring the piano haha!

Haha, is it a good thing that you love Noah more? (:

Haha, amazing plans! They probably would and all <3 and that'd be adorable! They can be bff's then get married!!!!! Haha, that'd be undeniably cute! <3 that'd be a lot of blood in them! I am Italian, French, Polish and Lithuanian, technically <3 cause I'd have to be native American to be truly American lol. But, we could totally bring them to America and Australia! <3 and hahaha! I so would love to help name the grandkiddos!!!

I'll get carried away right along with you! <3

[Starlight]

Hahah yeah !!
Apparently I have a very 'British name taste' and pretty much adore, all their common names Even the one's that aren't so common in Sydney.

Haha I really want heaps of girls :') I LOVE little girls. Dressing them up, dancing, hair styling... etc.. Im just a HUGE girly girl!
I honestly wouldn't mind having like five girls
Hahaha you make me laugh Remy

Oooh you can play flute? and piano? Bring them I'll happily dance!! We could have our own musical dance group

Haha yes!!! Except now im struggling over another name [Noah] to pick what goes, first on my list!

Awwwwh! Well im... Irish, Scottish, [So British] French, & Aboriginal :L and yeah think thats it!
Though the Aboriginal part goes WAYYYY back in time!! Way, Way back

Were already carried away


♥

[Remy Hadley]

Haha, that must mean I adore most their common names too! I'm not sure if that's good or bad lol... <3

Haha, I'm honestly unsure as to whether I would want more boys than girls or not. Cause I kinda find it just as fun to dress up a little boy as I do a little girl <3 And I kinda think it would be nice if I could raise a young man up nicely, so he can be one of the few boys out there that are actually decent! Unlike creepers these day.... :x But I'd love a girl as well! I kinda want two boys and a girl, or something. Girls can be so much maintenence when they get older... lol! I'm totally girly myself, really. But, I have no idea haha! Cause both genders seem so wonderful <3 I guess my mindset is good though, cause I'll be happy with whatever I have. I know I'll love my kiddo no matter what they are <3 I guess I want a boy and a girl, at least. Though I'd be happy with two boys. Or two boys and a girl. Or whatever haha! <3 I would love to have a zillion kiddos just so I can enjoy all of them haha! A few boys and a few girls! You know, I honestly think if I spaced them out enough, I could have a bunch... like, have two or three between the ages of 19-23, and I'll be about 40 when they were 18. So sometime when they are older (at least 14) I could squeeze in another LOL! Maybe I can have three while I'm really young than adopt one when they're all older and stuff <3 Idk haha! Tehehe, your so funny yourself!

Hahaha sure! I can't bring the piano lol! Not only would mum be angry for taking it cause she loves it- but its pretty large!! But I can certainly bring my flute... (: Haha, we'd be an intense musical group! Maybe you can teach me how to dance lol, cause I stink at it :x I mean, I took dance from when I was three till thirteen, but it's not the same lol. Tap, jazz, ballet, and tumble lol <3 None of which help me too much with regular dancing </3

Hahaha! Sorry! :B I'm still deciding on Noah Caleb or Caleb Noah haha!

I don't know what Aboriginal is haha!<3 But cool, we're both french lol!

That we are <3
