List 1(Names I would use for kids)
Isabelle Makynli - I like Isabelle (except for its popularity), but Makynli?! Why don't you at least spell it normal?
Dakota Faith - I'm not a big fan of Dakota, but Faith is pretty here.
Jasper Daniel - I don't like Jasper for either sex.
Jasper Elexa - See above.
Karmen Elexis - I'd like it much better if it was spelled Carmen.
Teiliana Kait - Nah.
Delya Charlotte (*Del-I-ah) - I absolutely LOVE Charlotte, but I think most people would mispronounce Delya DEL-ya.
Noa Regina (* No-uh Ray-hee-nuh) - Noa for a girl? No thanks.
Makenzie Claire - I'm not a big fan of Makenzie.


List two(Names of my American Girl Dolls - Don't laugh! I've been collecting them since I was four and my aunt gets me a new one each year tongue.gif )
Taryn Elisabeth Brady (I didn't pick this name tongue.gif ) - I'm glad you didn't pick it.
Kit Margaret Kittredge (or this one) - Quintessential American Doll name.
Ruthanne Jessica Smithens (or this) 'Ruthie' - Ruthanne sounds way too old fashioned.
Leah Victoria Beattie - I kind of like this name!
Makenzie Celeste Hale - Not a fan.
Jasper Ashlynn Hale 'Jazz' - See above.
Rosalie Allison Hale 'Rose' - Rosalie is pretty.
Alice Jodelle Cullen - Okay.
Emily Noelle Bennett - See above.
Rylan Elexis Gray - Rylan?! Blegh.



Anyway, I hope I haven't been too harsh to your names. Most of them I didn't like (sorry!!!), but my favorites were Isabelle Makynli, Leah Victoria, Rosalie Allison, Alice Jodelle, and Emily Noelle.

I'm not offended.
I know my spelling of names is strange, but I like different spellings better. I'd rather be Ryleigh than Riley. I added a couple more names; and there's one I LOVE but I just can't remember right now...

List 1(Names I would use for kids)
Isabelle Makynli (THIS IS THE NORMAL SPELLING! I have a cousin names Makynli and I don't like McKinley or Mackinley) - Normal is relative, but if by 'normal' you mean 'legitimate' and not just that you've seen it in real life, then I strongly disagree. I'm sorry, but knowing somebody with a name doesn't make it a 'normal' spelling. Not trying to me mean. I may disagree with your spelling choice, but since you said you don't like the more common spelling, you should stick with what you like. It is only a middle name after all. I'm not a fan of Isabelle; it is so trendy right now, it is ridiculous. Isabelle and Sophia are just... too popular for my tastes, but not bad names in their own right. The combo sounds okay together, but they definitely look weird together.
Dakota Faith - I don't like most place/unisex names. Dakota is just not feminine in any way. Faith is a bit better than Grace/Rose/Lynn/Anne and the other monosyllabic filler middles. Not a favorite of mine, but not terribly bland.
Jasper Daniel - Jasper is just not nice sounding. It isn't particularly strong or pretty, so I really can't see it on anyone but the vampire.
Jasper Elexa - ^ ditto. Not pretty. I do think the main redeemable feature is the nickname - Jazz. I like Jazz/Jazzy, and I think it sounds nice. If I knew somebody named Jasper, I am certain I would call them Jazz/Jazzy 100% of the time. I prefer Alexa, but I would rather have Elexa than Elexis.
Karmen Elexis (Carmen Elexis is to much like Carmen Electra) - I don't think changing the C to a K makes the name any less like the actress. You still say it exactly the same until the last two syllables. Elexis is okay, but without the Alexander to Alexis connection, Elexis makes me think of an eco-friendly Lexus.
Teiliana Kait - I prefer Kate, though Kait is the best respelling on here since it isn't hard to figure out at all. Teiliana reminds me of the girl at my work named Teila. Is it pronounced like hers? (Tea-la) -> (Tea-lee-ahn-uh)? I looked both of them up and I think they are made up. I can't stand names that aren't names. Sorry. I don't think you will care, but Teila's name is misspelled on the server chart every day, our manager still thinks it is Telia, so that is what he writes down. She fixes it every day.
Delea Charlotte (*Del-I-ah) - I really doubt people will pronounce it like that. Delya would be easier to understand than Delea, which looks more like Del-ee-ah. I'm getting a strong made up vibe from it, too. If I had to spell it like you are pronouncing it, I would pick Deliya. Why not Dahlia, Dalia, Delia, or Delilah? Charlotte is okay.
Noa Regina (* No-uh Ray-hee-nuh) - Why is the 'g' pronounced like an 'h'? Isn't that how it is in Spanish or something? Noa is okay, I guess, but it sounds just like the boys name that is gaining popularity.
Makenzie Claire - I prefer Makenna to Makenzie, but Makenzie is something I can stand. Claire is a bit filler, though still something I can stand.
Cayene Elayna (Kay-Enne) - Cayene looks made up, and I still have no idea how you got to that to that pronunciation. Maybe Cayenne or Cayen wourd make more sense. Cayene looks like it should be (Cay-een). Elayna is fine.
Jodelle Makayla - Jodelle. My guess is that it is made up. Not a fan, and it makes me think of Superman's father Jor-el. Admittedly, it isn't that close, but just though I should mention it. Makayla is okay. I find I actually prefer it to Makenzie.
Serena Rose - By far the best combo. Rose is a tad boring, but still quite good.

List two(Names of my American Girl Dolls - Don't laugh! I've been collecting them since I was four and my aunt gets me a new one each year :) )
Taryn Elisabeth Brady (I didn't pick this name :P ) Sounds fine to me. I don't mind Taryn too much, for a doll.
Kit Margaret Kittredge (or this one) - Heard Kit Kittredge before. Wasn't it a movie or something?
Ruthanne Jessica Smithens (or this) 'Ruthie' - Not fond of Ruth, and I have a friend named Ruth. No offense mean't to her.
Leah Victoria Beattie - Okay, not fond of the last name but the first two are nice.
Makenzie Celeste Hale - I like Celeste as a middle. Two very good reasons to not use it as a first name, though: incest and molest. Mackenzie is fine, like above.
Jasper Ashlynn Hale 'Jazz' - I don't mind Jasper for a doll, and Ashlynn is nice.
Rosalie Allison Hale 'Rose' - I'm starting to get overwhelmed by the Twilight names. Not a bad flow on the combo.
Alice Jodelle Cullen - So much Twilight. So many 'L's, too.
Emily Noelle Bennett - Nice, NMS but nice.
Rylan Elexis Gray ( My little sisters came up with this; they wanted me to name it Riley because it looks like me, but I refused so they picked Rylan :P )- I don't like Rylan or Elexis. Flow is average.

^ like she said, sorry for harshness. Just want to give as much honest feedback as I can.
