Glee actresses Jayma Mays and Jessalyn Gilsig's name have recently caught my attention. Neither are "real" names, and they have a sort of trendy feel to them.
I really like Jayma, actually. It's cute, but pretty at the same time, and not too weird.
Not sure about Jessalyn, though. I would prefer just Jessa, I think.
So what do you think of these names? Have any names that aren't "really" names to add to the list?

I really like the name Tessalyn. Alaesia (Uh-Lay-shuh) is one I made up a while ago; i'm not so into it anymore, but it's still made up

Jayma and Jessalyn are starting to look very normal, compared to these namesAnother couple I thought of:
Brynlee
BrittaLyn
Alynora
Avareanna
BrookieLee
and two I've actually heard before:
Sunserae
Flannery
There's something about Jayma that I've really fallen in love with. Or maybe it's because I'm so into the actress and her character on the show

I think they actually look very nice, even if I wouldnt use them myself x3
I was watching the credits to despicable me and some of the casts names were hysterical! We sat there and giggled bunches at the names! All I can really remember was Fredrique with accents everywhere :0 wasnt the funniest of all though :/

After reading To Kill A Mockingbird I fell in love with Mayella. I know she wasn't a "good" character but I think Mayella is such a pretty name.

I'm not sure what my opinion on Jayma is. It's kind of a cross between Gemma & Jamie I guess. I think I like it.
Jessalyn seems a bit too made up,, I think Jessa Lyn (with Lyn as the middle name) would be sweet. I love Jessa

Well I have heard my fair share of made up names! Some I actually like! Some I heard of:
Taylee
Analeigh
Brynlee
Jennalyn
Anyone else notice that probably 90% of the made up names are girls names! LOL!
