Well, since I stayed home from school today and seeing how I have NOTHING to do. I'll comment on every name and give a rating. I'm not really good at thinking up middle names so I wont be much help there but if I think of a good one I'll list it.

P.S. Jaymey I hope you get to read all this but it may take a while! Lol. Sorry!



Archer- This makes me think of Archery and then I think of a forrest and deer and little animals. (I know I'm weird, probably no one else made that connection. Haha) & I dont know if its just me but it has a sort of medieval feel to it. Lol. I dont love it or hate it. Its just an alright name. I think it ages well. 6/10

Atticus- Defnitely not my style. All I think of is Attic. It kinda of seems like a name for a cat or something. Idk. I cant really picture it on a little baby, toddler or teenager. 1/10

Arthur- I never liked this name. I always associated it with the cartoon charcter, Arthur. (What was he an anteater?) Idk. The cartoon is where I first heard the name so I always pictured it on an animal instead of a person. Not my style. 1/10

Braxton- Eh. I dont hate it too much but I'm not in love with it either. It feels southern. Like, I can picture a little country boy with a cowboy hat, riding a horse, living on a farm or something. Haha. Hmm..5/10

Brighton- I've never heard this for a boy. Theres a girl in the grade below me named Brighton so I can only see it on a girl. On a boy I'd give it 1/10 but I think its cute for a girl.

Benjamin- This is a good strong name. Its not my favorite, but its nice. nn Ben is handsome, too. 6/10

Boston- This is a city to me, not a name of a person. 1/10

Brent- Love this name!! I like it spelled Brendt better though. 10/10

Beckham- Eh. Seems like more of a last name to me. It'd be kinda cute on a little kid though. 5/10

Braddock- Same. Seems like a last name. 1/10

Colby - Its okay. 5/10

Coach- I cant picture this as a name. 1/10

Caius- Not my style and I'm not really sure how to pronounce it.

Corbin- Hmm. Theres a girl in my grade named Korbyn so this is really a girl name to me since the first time I heard this name it was on her. Even now I think I still like it better for a girl. 4/10

Carson - I like it! Its underused a lot too but its such a nice name! 8/10

Darius- Not my style 3/10

Darron- I like this better then Darius, but its still just okay. 5/10

Elijah- Loveee it! 8/10

Elias- Theres a teacher at my school with the last name Ellis. So thats what I think of when I hear this name. I'm not really a fan even though I do love Elijah and they're kinda similar. Elias just isnt doing it for me. 2/10

Flettcher- Same. My friends last name is Fletcher. & I just really hate the sound of it. It makes me cringe. 1/10

Gage- Love Gage! 8/10

Garrison- Another teachers last name at my school! Haha. I'm not really a fan of this one. 2/10 What do you think of Garrett?

Hudson - Loveee it! This is my favorite after Brent. 9/10

Henry- Too old for my taste. & I cant picture Henry on a little kid. 3/10

Heath- I think of the candy bars. Lol. 3/10

Harry- Same as Henry. 1/10

Isaac- Loveeee Isaac!! Great name. 10/10

Judah- Not my style. 1/10

Jayson- Nice! I especially like the spelling. 8/10

John- I like Jon but with a more formal name like Jonathon nn John. 7/10

Kyler- I'd much rather just use Kyle. Kyler seems a little over the top 4/10

Kaspian- It makes me think of Captain which really annoys me for some reason. Haha. & Then I think of that one old cartoon with the ghost Kasper. Lol. Not very good associations. 1/10

Keith- Its alright. I can see it on a teenager+ but I cant picture it for a little kid. 6/10

Levi- Very handsome! 7/10

Leighton- This is all girl to me. 1/10 for a boy.

Logan- Dont love it or hate it. Its just alright. 7/10

Maximus- I love the nickname Max but I dont like Maximus. 6/10

Morgan- All girl to me! 1/10

Malachi- Its fun to say. Haha. Its different, I like it. 7/10

Noah- I've just never liked this. 4/10

Nathan- Love Nathan!! 9/10

Oran- Not my style 2/10

Porter- I think of Porta potty. Lol. I really dont like this name 1/10

Payson- Eh. Not my style. I like Payton..but not Payson. 2/10

Paxton- Same as above 2/10 Pax would be a cute nickname though. I like Pax a lot.

Quinn- I've always disliked this name for either gender. 2/10

Remus- How do you pronounce that?

Reid - Love! 9/10

Reuben- Nms 1/10

Roman- Nms 3/10 I like it better than Reuben

Uriah- Nms. 3/10

Vance- Its nice 7/10

Weston- Its okay 6/10

William- I like it for a middle name! 6/10

Wesley- I've always really hated this name for some reason 1/10

Yale- Nms. I think of the college. 1/10

Yaron- Never heard it before. Seems kinda made up. 1/10

Zane- Nms 1/10

Zebulon- Nms 1/10

Zachary - Love it! 8/10


Azaria- Its fun to say. Haha. & Its different like Malachi was. I think Malachi & Azaria would make a great sibling set, but I'd never use it for my own kid. 8/10

Annalise- Sooo pretty! 8/10

Alaina- I have Alaina on my list, too! 10/10

Acacia- I never know how to pronounce it. Not one of my favorites.

Brielle- Nms 3/10

Bethany- Cute! 8/10

Coralie- Nms 3/10

Delaney- Nms 3/10

Erin- I've always hated this name 1/10

Esther- 5/10

Grace - Sooo beautiful! 10/10

Hadley - 6/10 Its alright.

Jenna- 5/10 Dont love or hate it

Jessa- Ehh 5/10

Katelynn- 8/10 I used to love this name and its still high up on my list!

Lina- I like the spelling Lena a lot better. I think because Lina looks like Lima to me and I think of Lima Beans. Haha. 5/10

Lishelle- Nms 1/10

Mercedes- 10/10 & I love the nickname Sadie

Mary Ellen- Too old for my taste. 1/10

Noella- I like Noelle, not Noella 1/10

Noelle- 7/10 (I only like it for a middle name, though)

Ophelia- 1/10 Cant picture it on a little kid or teenager.

Olivia- Cute! 7/10

Persephone- Nms 1/10

Sienna- 6/10

Trinity- 6/10

Vienna- 3/10

Victoria- 10/10 (I only like it for a middle name, though!)

Willow- 5/10

Winter- 3/10

Zenna- Seems made up 1/10



If I had to use your list to name my kid these would be my choices;

Boys;
Braxton (Its growing on me!) I never really paid attention to that name then I saw it on your list and I was like noo wayy! LOL. And now by the time I'm done with your list, I actually kinda like it!

Sooo, Braxton
Benjamin
Brent
Carson
Elijah
Gage

Jayson
John
Nathan
Reid
Vance
Weston

Zachary

Girls;

I rated low on a lot of your names but I guess we just have a different style sometimes! There was a lot I liked at the same time. (All the ones listed above) I love them! I'll be adding a few to my favorite name list that werent on there before.

Archer - I like it.
Atticus - I like it but I don't know if I would use it. Maybe for a middle name.
Arthur - NMS, I don't like the nn Art and Arthur seems too old and dated for me.
Braxton - Don't like it.
Brighton - Don't like it.
Benjamin - Boring.
Boston - I like certain city names as names but Boston is not one of them.
Brent - I like Brent.
Beckham - I like it for the only reason that I like the nickname Beck, but then I'd probably use Beckett instead.
Braddock - NMS.
Colby - I have bad associations with the name Colby.
Coach - No. Reminds me of the TV show. Imagine applying for a job with the name COACH. And all the sports jokes that he would face.
Caius - Interesting. I'd like to see what middle names you'd pair it with, but I think it's kinda cool.
Corbin - I like Corbin or Corban. I am cool with both spellings, depending on middle name. Aesthetics!
Carson - I like the name Carson but I know two girls named Carson and I think it's on the way out as a strictly boys name.
Darius - NMS
Darron - NMS
Elijah - I like it but maybe as a middle name. I like the nn Eli though.
Elias - I like it better than Elijah, again with the nn Eli.
Flettcher - Lose one of those T's and then I'd dig it.
Gage - It's okay.
Garrison - I don't like the idea of people possibly calling him Gary, and Garrison reminds me of Mr. Garrison from South Park.
Hudson - I like it okay.
Henry - Love it. Such a strong name.
Heath - Strong name, I like it.
Harry - lol I know why you like this name, but for me it's okay. I don't hate it though, it's a nice strong name.
Isaac - I like it but I'd never use it.
Judah - NMS, I kinda Jonah or Josiah though. Maybe with the nn Jude.
Jayson - Prefer the spelling Jason, then I'd like it more. Jason is a good name.
John - Can't go wrong with John.
Kyler - NMS
Kaspian - Prefer the way Caspian looks, but I love the name.
Keith - I have your back on Keith. It's a nice name.
Karson - See above "Carson"
Levi - I like it alright.
Leighton - Again, a unisex name, kinda like Carson, that I feel is on the way out for boys and on the way up for girls.
Logan - Same as above.
Maximus - I like the nn Max but I don't know if I like Maximus.
Morgan - I think this is better for boys than it is for girls, even though I know a lot of girl's named Morgan.
Malachi - NMS
Noah - It's okay. Overused. Kinda like Benjamin.
Nathan - I prefer Nathaniel.
Oran - NMS
Porter - NMS
Payson - Sounds made up, I prefer Peyton.
Paxton - NMS, don't like it.
Quinn - I like it more for a girl.
Remus - NMS
Reid - I like the name Reid.
Reuben - NMS, don't like it.
Roman - I like Roman okay. I don't know if I'd use it though.
Silas - Love Silas.
Tyson - NMS
Travis - Boring.
Uriah - NMS, can't get into it.
Vance - I hate the name Lance and Vance doesn't sit well with me either.
Weston - I like the nn West. I have a great friend named West.
William - Can't go wrong with William. I like the nn Liam.
Wesley - It's okay.
Yale - That's a college, and a good friend's last name. I can't get into it as a first name.
Yaron - NMS
Zane - Not a fan.
Zebulon - Not a fan.
Zachary - Boring.

Azaria - NMS
Annalise - I prefer the spelling Anneliese, but I love that name.
Alaina - It's okay, I wouldn't use it but I like it.
Acacia - NMS
Brielle - NMS
Bethany - I hate the name Bethany. I especially hate the nn Beth.
Coralie - NMS
Delaney - It's okay, too popular.
Erin - I dig Erin and I feel it's not that common these days.
Esther - Love the name Esther.
Grace - I like it as a first name, but too many people use it as a generic middle name.
Genesis - NMS
Glorie - I could make a really inappropriate joke that kids in the 8th grade-12th grade age would make, but I don't. Nooooo.
Gisselle - Prefer Giselle, one S, but NMS.
Hadley - NMS
Ilona - Love it.
Jenna - It's okay.
Jessa - Prefer it as a nn for Jessamine or Jessenia. Jessa on it's own just sounds like a nn for a longer name.
Katelynn - Prefer the spelling Caitlin, but it's okay, kinda boring.
Lina - Prefer the spelling Lena, unless you are pronouncing this Ly-na. I love the name Lena. If it IS "Ly-na" though, I think it is interesting.
Lishelle - NMS, don't like it.
Mercedes - NMS, don't like it.
Mary Ellen - Dated.
Noella - NMS, don't like it.
Noelle - NMS, don't like it.
Ophelia - Love Ophelia.
Olivia - Pretty name but too popular. I'd probably use it as a middle name.
Persephone - I like it, not sure I know what I'd use for a middle name.
Sienna - I've really warmed up to the name Sienna, I like it.
Trinity - Oh lord, NMS at ALL. Don't like it. I feel the same way about Trinity as I do about Cadence, Destiny, Hope, Faith, Serenity, Temperance, and all that stuff. Not into it.
Vienna - Reminds me of vienna sausage.
Victoria - I like Victoria, I don't like the nn Tori or Vicky though.
Willow - I prefer Willa.
Winter - I like it as a middle name.
Zenna - NMS, don't dig it.
