Barbara - It's okay.  A lot better than 99.9% of modern names out there.  It's refreshing to hear Barbara instead of Nevaeh.

Elisabeth - I prefer Elizabeth, but the name itself is gorgeous!

Cydney (and a Sydney.  Both girls)  - Sidney for a boy is great, but I can't stand Sydney or any spelling of it for a girl.

Na'imah (NA-ee-ma) - The apostrophe really bugs me.  Not a fan of the name in general but punctuation in names is not a good idea.  A lot of forms don't even allow them.

Evan - Okay, but common.

Donovan - Okay

Kamryn (girl) - I don't even like this one for a boy, but it's even worse for a girl and with the trendy -y in it.

Logan (x2) - Boring!

Liani (Lee-AH-nee) - Not horrible, but I prefer Leilani. 

Jasmine - Good spelling and the name is okay, just common.

Mark - Okay

Kaitlyn (x2) - I prefer the Caitlin spelling, but the name is okay.

Gonzalo - Okay.  

Madyson - Madison is a boys' name (traditionally a surname with occasional use for boys).  It means "SON of  Matthew/Maud".  The spelling is too trendy.

Emma - Boring, but better than most other trendy names.

Justise (girl.  Her parents are cops, so no surprise they named her that) - Don't like the name or the spelling.

Adam (x2) - Handsome!  

Peyton (girl) - Yet another masculine name for a girl.  Don't like it.

Jazzy (girl) - Doesn't sound like an actual name. 

Dredyan (DRAY-dee-an. Boy) - Awful!   I thought it was Adrian at first until I heard it the second  time.  Adrian would have been a lot nicer.

Anna  - Gorgeous!

Shayne (boy) - Shane is acceptable, but Shayne looks trashy.

Solomon - Okay.  I don't think of a kid when I hear it.  I think of someone over 40.  Other than that, it's decent.

Nicholas - Handsome!

Avani (Ah-va-nee) - Not too bad. 

Eddie - As a nickname for Edmund it's okay.

Grace - Don't like it.  It sounds too close to "grease" for me.

Londyn - Trashy!

Mashu (MA-shu) - The kid is originally from Japan, so I don't have any problems with this one.

Lila - Okay, but getting popular.

Jake  - A little boring, but decent nickname for Jacob.

Jayda - Jada is better and even then, still not a fan.

Sam (x2 and a Samuel) - Samuel is great and I like Sam as a nickname.

Ryan Kate - Kate is beautiful, Ryan for a girl is awful.

Avery (girl) - Another boys' name for a girl and very trendy.

Kya (KAI-ah) - Love the name, but would spell it Kaia or maybe Kaya because Kya looks difficult to say correctly.   Kaia and Kaya also look better.

Addison (girl) - Horrible!  It means "SON of Adam".  Nothing feminine about it.  It also reminds me of Addison's Disease.

Tae-Ho (TAY-ho) - I'm guessing he was Korean from the sound of it, so I can't find any problems with it.

Vivian - Gorgeous!

Oona - Not a fan of the sound.

Abby - Beautiful.  I prefer it as a nickname for Abigail or Gabrielle, but it's okay on its own too.

Afnan -  Exotic.  No problems with it.

Charlie (boy) - Okay.

Adaiah (Ah-DAY-ah. Girl) - Not my style.

Kade - Too trendy.

Annabelle - Pretty

Alexander (x2) - Handsome!

AJ (girl) - Not a fan of initials, especially masculine ones for girls.

Amaya (girl) - Beautiful!

Kamilly (CAM-ih-lee) - I prefer Camilla.

Kyndall (girl) - Too trendy

Jaeclyn (Jace-lyn. Girl) - Horrible!  Jacqueline is a good name, but this is a mess.

Mia (x2) - Pretty but too trendy.

Micah (girl) - Too masculine.

Kayla - Okay, but dated.

Jenna - Beautiful.  I really like it.

Nathan (and a Nate) - Nice.  Prefer Nathaniel, but Nathan and Nate are cool too.

Andrew - Handsome, and not as popular as it used to be. 

Jimmy - As a nickname, it's okay.  Not as a full name.

Ayla (EYE-la) - Not a fan.

Riley (boy) - Great name for a boy.  Glad to see a boy Riley instead of a girl.

Cory (and a Corey. Boys) - Dated, but otherwise okay.

Kyler - Too trendy.

Alexis (girl) - Not a fan.   I prefer it for a boy.

Jianna - Pretty name, bad spelling.  Gianna looks better.

Jesse - Handsome.

Zac - Great as a nickname for Zachary.

Ian - Handsome.

JJ (boy) - Maybe as a nickname.

Derek - Okay.

Chad - Not a fan.

Natalie - Gorgeous!

Josh - Okay as a nickname for Joshua.

Mitchell - Nice.

Berry - Stripper name.

Coco - Dog name.

Nasir (Na-seer) - Exotic.

Isabella - Boring.

Levi - Okay

Jessica - Pretty, but a bit dated.

Sean - Handsome.

Dara - Not a fan.

Sofia - Pretty, but common.

Kaylen (girl) - Awful!

Jewels (girl) - Doesn't sound like an actual name.  Maybe Julia or Juliana, nickname Jewels but not a fan of just Jewels.

Tommy - Okay as a nickname for Thomas.

Molly - Lovely!

Roen (boy) - Not a fan of the spelling, but for a boy, the name is okay.

Sarah - Pretty.  Prefer it spelled Sara.

Gavin - Okay.

Troy - Not a fan.

Sage (girl) - Trendy.

Hana - Gorgeous!

Lishai (LEE-shy) - Not a fan.

Mina - Beautiful!

Justin - Decent name, but dated.

Daniel - Handsome!

Franco - Kind of cool and feels more exciting than Frank or Frankie.

Parker (boy) - Don't like it, but I appreciate that it was used for the correct gender.

Quincy - Okay.

Philly - That's what Philadelphia natives (like myself, but I live in Florida now) call the city, so probably not a good idea, but it's okay as a nickname for Phillip.
