hi! just waned some opinions on my name list. also if you have any suggestions for middle names, that would be great also, any ideas on how to honor my mom Laurie Jean? she hates both names lol. thanks!

Boys:
Andrew
Asher Nathaniel
Benjamin Jay (Jay after my godfather, his real name is Barry but always goes by Jay)
Cedric Daniel (Cedric is a guilty pleasure name, Daniel after my uncle)
David
Henry
Hugo
Jackson Levi nn Jack
James
Jasper
Jude
Landon
Lucas Arthur nn Luke (Arthur after my dad)
Lucian
Miles
Oliver Maxwell
Tobias nn Toby
William
Zachary

Girls:
Allison nn Allie
Cadence
Claire Elizabeth
Emma
Evelyn
Isabelle Kate
Lily Hermione
Olivia Kerri (Kerri after my cousin)
Saoirse

Variants of Laurie: Girls: Laura, Laurel, Lauren, Lorelei, Lorna, Lorraine, Lara Boys: Lawrence/Laurence, Lorenzo, Laurent
Variants of Jean: Girls: Jane, Jana/Janna, Janine, Janelle, Jeanette

I love:
Asher Nathaniel, Henry, Jude, Lucian, Miles, Oliver Maxwell (Very handsome!!) & William
Combos: Oliver Jude, Oliver William, William Henry, Miles Henry, Miles Jude, Lucian Jasper, Lucian Maxwell, Jude William, Jude Henry

I like:
Benjamin Jay (I don't love Jay and the combo is J heavy but I can make an exception for honoring loved ones), Cedric Daniel (again a bit D heavy), Hugo (I like this in theory just not sure how practical it is), James, Jasper, Tobias (I don't care much for Toby though which feels more like a pet name), Arthur
Combos: Benjamin Asher, Benjamin Arthur, Tobias Jude, Tobias William, Jasper Henry, Jasper William, James Oliver, James Maxwell, Cedric Miles, Cedric William, Cedric Arthur, Arthur Benjamin

Claire Elizabeth, Emma (very popular at the moment though), Evelyn, Isabelle Kate (much prefer the spellings Isabel & Isobel - again popularity is an issue for me), Lily, Saoirse, Olivia (prefer Livia)
Combos: Saoirse Elizabeth, Saoirse Evelyn, Saoirse Lily, Evelyn Claire, Lily Saoirse, Olivia Kate

I don't care much for:
Andrew (just feels kind of blah), Jay (I can appreciate its meaning to you though), David (see Andrew), Jackson Levi (Too trendy for my liking), Landon (ditto & it sounds like 'land on' to me so with whatever middle name it is paired with it just sounds like "land on James" or "land on William" etc.), Lucas, Zachary (Lucas & Zachary feel very 90's dated to me)

Allison (bland and boring), Cadence (trendy), Hermione (too HP for me), Kerri (dated)

You could use your moms initials and find two names that you really love that start with an L and a J....

Of your boys names I LOVE..Henry, James, Jasper, Jude, Cedric Daniel, Lucas Arthur, Jackson Levi nn Jack, Oliver Maxwell (LOVE nn Ollie), William, Tobias (but only for a mn).

My favorites would have to be Oliver, James, William and Jude.

Of your girl names I like Lily, Emma and Cadence...I LOVE the nn Evie for Evelyn.

Combos...James Henry, Jude William, Oliver Daniel, Henry James (kinda close to Harry James )

Boys:
Andrew ~ not my style, but I see the appeal. I like Andy for a nickname.
Asher Nathaniel ~ I like Nathaniel Asher better. I like both names seperately though.
Benjamin Jay (Jay after my godfather, his real name is Barry but always goes by Jay) ~ I like it. Benjamin is a classic and so handsome!
Cedric Daniel (Cedric is a guilty pleasure name, Daniel after my uncle) ~ !!! Cedric is my number 1 guilty pleasure name for boys. I just love it. Mostly because of Cedric Diggory! Daniel isn't my favorite, but if it honors someone you know, that makes me like it better
David ~ not a fan of David, but only because I know I Dave/David I don't like. Other than that, it's okay
Henry ~ I love it! Classic, handsome...I just love it!
Hugo ~ not a fan, sorry
Jackson Levi nn Jack ~ I like it, but it sounds familiar somehow...
James ~ My favorite boy name of all time! I love it especially as a middle name, mostly because it goes with almost anything, but it's just so handsome
Jasper ~ okay, not my favorite. Reminds me of Twilight, which is the association you will most likely get
Jude ~ okay. I can see it's appeal
Landon ~ Love it! Ever since A Walk to Remember this has been a guilty pleasure
Lucas Arthur nn Luke (Arthur after my dad) ~ I like Lucas (even though I prefer Luka or just Luke). I am not a fan of Arthur, but since it would honor your dad and has meaning, I kind of like it. They flow well together
Lucian ~ not a fan, sorry
Miles ~ love! I could picture this on a little boy, but not so much on a grown man, though
Oliver Maxwell ~ like Oliver, but I'm not really a fan of Maxwell, though I love just Max
Tobias nn Toby ~ not a fan, sorry
William ~ LOVE! Liam is a favorite nickname
Zachary ~ love it! It's classic, yet trendy! I love Zach.

Girls:
Allison nn Allie ~ I am a huge fan of Allison! It's a major guilty pleasure of mine because it's so close to my name, but I still love it!
Cadence ~ another guilty pleasure. Caddie is a cute nickname.
Claire Elizabeth ~ I would prefer Elizabeth Claire, but this is nice!
Emma ~ love it! I prefer it to Emily any day
Evelyn ~ cute! I love names that start with "E" lol
Isabelle Kate ~ I would prefer variants of each name like Isabella Katherine or Katherine Belle. Isabelle Kate just sounds too harsh in my opinion
Lily Hermione ~ cute! I like Hermoine, especially as a middle name because it's more subtle, but I don't like Lily is the perfect fit for it
Olivia Kerri (Kerri after my cousin) ~ Olivia is great, but I'm not a fan of the name Kerri, but since you are honoring someone, that makes it better, in my opinion. It always does.
Saoirse ~ not a fan

My Favorites of your names:
Benjamin
Cedric
Henry
James
Jasper
William
Zachary
Oliver

Allison
Emma
Hermoine
Olivia
Elizabeth

(P.S. Half of the names I had Hayden call out over her shoulder XD I'm not as talented with names...)

thanks for the input everyone!

I love your boys names! A bunch of your names are on my all-time favorite list.
Also, I secretly love Harry Potter names.


Andrew: I definitely like Andrew. It's a little common, but it's really nice anyways, especially when it's not shortened to Drew.
Asher Nathaniel: I don't love Asher. It's a little hard for me to say and seems a little nicknameish. If you have to do an Ash- name, I like Ashton.
Benjamin Jay: I love Benjamin. It's such a handsome name, and Jay works well with everything, IMO!
Cedric Daniel: LOVE Cedric! I think it's so different...it's a strong name (and it reminds me of Robert Pattinson in his pre-Twilight days...which is good )
David: Classic. A nice name, but overall too common I think.
Henry: I think Henry's a very nice name. It seems very dignified and...European to me. Haha I like it.
Hugo: On its own, I'm not that crazy about this name, but it makes me think of Josh Hartnet's character in "O", which makes me like it way more. Oh, associations!
Jackson Levi: Jackson's a little trendy for me. I prefer just Jack, but Jackson Levi makes for a nice pair.
James: LOVE. Such a classic, beautiful name. What's not to like?
Jasper: Also LOVE. Although it's extra-Twilighty these days, which I'm not crazy about.
Jude: LOVE LOVE! This is a little guilty-pleasure for me...but I would LOVE to meet a kid named Jude, I think it's such an amazing name.
Landon: LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! My all-time favorite name on planet earth. It's so handsome!!
Lucas Arthur: Lucas is another one of my faves, though I'm not extra-keen on Luke. It sounds nice paired with Arthur too.
Lucian: Not so crazy about it. It sounds a little bit like somebody with a bizarre accent saying "lotion" to me...I love Luca though, for something similar!
Miles: Not my very favorite name...just not quite my style I guess.
Oliver Maxwell: I LOVE OLIVER. Such a cute, classy name. Maxwell's nice too, and I really like it as a middle name.
Tobias nn Toby: Toby is cute...but Tobias is a little weird for me. Just not my style.
William: I really like William! I think it's not used very much anymore, and I wish it was. It's so classic and nice, and I love the nn Will.
Zachary: A very nice name, but I know about seventeen million Zacharys...it's a little too common for me.


Allison nn Allie: I love Allison...I like it even better with just one l. It's really breezy and pretty, but Allie is a little trendy for me to use as an all the time nickname.
Cadence: I don't care for this name personally just because I have a hard time saying it! I know that sounds weird, but names that have that -den thing are awkward for me to pronounce. The den tends to turn into a diphthong--the d and the n sort of run together so that it's like Aidn. Haha that probably sounds crazy! But it's a cute name for those of you who don't struggle to speak english!
Claire Elizabeth: I think Claire's an adorable name! It's simple and gorgeous, and you can obviously never go wrong with Elizabeth.
Emma: I love this name, but it seems very common to me. I like Emmaline as well, and it's a little more unique.
Evelyn: I LOVE this name!! It's so classy and seldom-used...it's gorgeous.
Isabelle Kate: Thank you SO MUCH for not using Isabella! It's so overused these days. I like the spelling Isobel, but it's a pretty name either way, and Kate is so pretty and simple.
Lily Hermione: I LOVE LILY!!! It is so pretty to say and to see written and it conjures such a lovely image, and Hermione's such a guilty pleasure...I LIKE it!!
Olivia Kerri : Kerri seems so dated to me, but since it's for your sister I guess it's all right. Olivia's very pretty too, but just a tiny bit overused IMO.
Saoirse : I could never pronounce this name properly to save my life. It's very pretty and unique...but imagine having to deal with teachers stumbling over this name!!

Boys:
Andrew - Too dated IMO.
Asher Nathaniel - Cute but I much prefer Ashton or even Ashlyn. (On a Girl)
Benjamin Jay - Like it
Cedric Daniel - I love Daniel but I am not a fan of Cedric. It reminds me of Harry Potter.
David - Maybe as a middle name?
Henry - Very common and boring..
Hugo - Nice!
Jackson Levi nn Jack - Love this one.
James - Wonderful name.
Jasper - Cant stand this one sorry.
Jude - Dont like this one either.
Landon - Not my style.
Lucas Arthur nn Luke - I really like it, suggestions: Luka/Luca and Lukas.
Lucian - Not my style. How about Lucia though on a Girl?
Miles - Great name. Complete classic.
Oliver Maxwell - Reminds me of a dog sorry
Tobias nn Toby - Not a fan.
William - Really like it nicknamed Liam.
Zachary - A bit bland for me..

Girls:
Allison nn Allie - A classic but very dated IMO.
Cadence - I love this one, its a guilty pleasure of mine.
Claire Elizabeth - A complete classic.
Emma - This name has recently become a favourite of mine, love it.
Evelyn - Gorgeous and simple, very sweet with the nickname Evie/Evy.
Isabelle Kate - GORGEOUS. I simply adore it.
Lily Hermione - I really like Lily but the middle name is a little TOO much Harry Potter.
Olivia Kerri (Kerri after my cousin) - Sweet but I have met a million Olivia's.
Saoirse - I cannot ever pronounce this one... It looks pretty though.

Good Luck!
