Girls (In No Order)

01. Ivy - 10 (I love this one!)
02. Josephine - 6 (It's pretty, but I don't love it)
03. Serena - 5 (50-50, it's okay)
04. Odile - 2 (Sorry, not my style)
05. Seraphine - 3 (Again, not really my style)
06. Odette - 4 (This one's okay)
07. Juniper - 2 (Sorry, don't like it at all)
08. Nina - 4 (This is kind of cute)
09. Christabel - 4 (Um, just okay)
10. Vera - 3 (Again, not really my style)
11. Fiona - 7 (This one's pretty nice)
12. Philippa - 5 (This is just okay for me)
13. Hannelore - 4 (Never heard of this, but it's kind of nice)
14. Siobhan - 3 (Not really my style)
15. Georgia - 6 (Georgia is nice--especially with the nick-name Georgie!)

Boys (In No Order)

01. Donovan - 5 (Just okay)
02. Stellan - 3 (Not really my style)
03. Nolan - 3 (Again, not really my style)
04. Alec - 7 (This one's pretty good)
05. Pierce - 5 (This is just okay)
06. Oden - 3 (Uh, not really my style)
07. Cresten - 3 (It's kind of cool, but again not for me)
08. Royston - 2 (With the nick-name Roy it might be okay, but I didn't really like it)
09. Dashiell - 5 (This one is nice, but I don't love it)
10. Stuart - 2 (Sorry, don't like it at all)
11. Grayson - 10 (I'm really starting to like this a lot lately!)
12. Ellison - 6 (This one's just okay)
13. Sayer - ? (If this was supposed to be Sawyer, than I'd give it a 5 or 6, if not then 3 or 4)
14. Shannon 2 (On a girl this would be about a 1.5 for me)
15. Harvey - 4 (This is okay, but I'm not really into it)

So I REALLY like Ivy and Grayson! Sorry if I was kind of hard on some of your names, but overall they are really neat! I just kind of like more common names--but really, you have a great name style! :P

Thanks! No worries, everyone has different tastes :) I definitely like more uncommon names, but I do like some classic names. Grayson and Ivy are great names. Some people on the board prefer Grayer has a name, but I'm not into it. A girlfriend of mine named her daughter Grayson and it bummed me out hahaha. I'm okay with unisex names, but Grayson is DUDES ONLY in my mind.

Oh yes, Grayson is for boys! And I agree on the whole style thing...that's whats so neat about this site--we all have different name styles, but we love each other anyway.
Besides, it makes it more interesting! :)

04. Odile - 4
I kinda like it, though most of my brain dislikes it :/ does have a certain charm though... <3

06. Odette - 2
I don't care for it but it's okay

07. Juniper - 8

10. Vera - 5
Classy, elegant, and sounds nice

11. Fiona - 1
I have the worst memories of a cat I had when I was little named Fiona so I'm permanently scarred :P haha, but it sounds okay <3

12. Philippa - 10
I like it! Personally, I prefer the nick name Pippa! It's adorable, spunky, and young but not too young... <3 But Philippa is nice as well! Cute!

13. Hannelore - 2
NMS :/

14. Siobhan - 6
I love Irish names... So I automatically like this. And I like the original spelling! But, it's just okay to me <3

15. Georgia - 9
I like this name a lot! I used to hate it, but now I love it <3


Boys (In No Order)

01. Donovan - 1
Bad associations...

02. Stellan - 2
Okay, sounds kinda nice. Foreign, cause I know a Romanian man named something close to this. But okay

03. Nolan - 4
I kinda like it. Not overused, certainly! <3

04. Alec - 7
Handsome!

05. Pierce - 1
I just dislike it for whatever reason~

06. Oden - 1
NMS

07. Cresten - 5
It sounds kinda nice, but I'm unsure if I like it. Kinda makes me think of Crest, the toothpaste. But it also sounds kinda nice <3

08. Royston - 5
Anoter unsure, haha! Roy is kinda cute! But I dunno if I like Royston.

13. Sayer - 6
Sounds nice! Though I like Sawyer more myself! I don't think those are related, really. But it is kinda close sounding I guess lol

14. Shannon - 1
I dislike it in general, especially on a boy. I feel like personally, a boy might be teased. But I don't know. Dad tells me he knew boys with 'girly' names that'd get harassed, like Ashley's and Carols that were boys. I feel like a Shannon might A's well D:

15. Harvey - 5
It's pleasantly old fashioned sounding to me. I can't picture. Young Harvey personally, but it's a fine name!


Hope this helps! <3

Shannon is traditionally a boys name. I actually know three boys named Shannon and one girl named Shannon. Only one of the boys said he was ever teased as a kid because of his name, but that's because his last name RHYMED (who does that?? haha). I prefer Shannon on a boy. I know two boys named Ashley and one named Aubrey too! I think it might be a southern thing. But those names are traditionally boys name.

I realize it's traditionally a males name, but some names seem to get more recognized as girls names when they are boys :/ Some for the better, some for the worse <3

Shannon has been more recognized as a girls name. It's extremely unpopular to use it as a boys name, and it's very unusual to meet any man named Shannon especially now adays. I'm surprised you know so many!

I don't think it's bad on a boy, I just dislike it and personally think it has teasing potential. I'm not trying to persuade you that it's bad or not to use it or something, just saying my personal opinion :) <3

Though, I can personally understand Ashley on a boy. Ashton is one of my fav names, I'd use nick name Ash so I like it on a boy. And Lee/Ley/etc is traditionally a boys name, so yeah. But, Carol isn't aunties name and very girly to me personally haha! Aubrey is all girl to me personally, but idk. Id have to think about it a While to try and picture to picture it on a boy, but i still think its very feminine myself <3 And I already said my opinion on Shannon above :P

Hope this helps, Saoirse! :P

I think it's an age difference thing, between you and me.
