It’s difficult to say why I don’t like the others. Some are not masculine enough or ’geeky’, while others are a bit too strange for me.

Girls:
Alexis nn Lexi -- okay, I prefer Lexi to Alex

Aubrey nn Bre -- terrible & nn sounds like a cheese

Cheyanne nn Chey or Annie -- too trendy & 1980s/90s

Elaina nn Ella, Ellie, or Lainey -- nice

Hailey -- ok

Julianne nn Jules -- nice

Kara (care-a) nn Kare Bear -- nice

Keely/Keeley -- no

Lacey -- no, seems ’tarty’

Leah -- nice

Lily -- nice

Mia nn Mimi -- don’t like that nn; why have a nn for a three-letter name?

Piper -- no, seems silly & too trendy

Shaylene nn Shay or Leena -- no

Shae -- only as a middle name

Boys, I like:
Caleb
Carter
Chase
Emmett
Everett nn Ev -- don’t like the nn. Sounds like a girl (Evelyn, nn Ev.)
Kyler nn Ky -- dont like the nn.
Liam
Ty

Boys, dislike:
Colt -- like the beer
Cooper nn Coop -- rhymes with "Poop." Also know many dogs named this.
Griffin nn Fin -- Like the nn, but not the full fn. Reminds me of the mythical animal (lion/eagle) and also of Harry Potter (Griffindor).
Holt -- Short and sounds made up. Bolt.
Keaton -- Sounds more like a girls name.
Keegan -- Also sounds feminine.
Nash -- sounds like hash.
Seth -- I just dislike this name.
Wes -- dislike the name.
Wesley nn Wes -- dislike the name. For some reason doesn’t sound smart or well liked to me.

Girls, I like:
Alexis nn Lexi
Aubrey nn Bre -- don’t like the nn. Sounds ditsy.
Elaina nn Ella, Ellie, or Lainey
Julianne nn Jules
Kara (care-a) nn Kare Bear -- nn is okay for family but NOT school.
Keely/Keeley
Lily
Mia nn Mimi
Piper
Shaylene nn Shay or Leena
Shae
Sydney nn Syd

Girls, Dislike:
Cheyanne nn Chey or Annie -- sounds very dated and unsophisticated.
Hailey -- also sounds dated and ditsy.
Lacey -- same as above. It wouldnt age well.
Leah -- plain.

I like Caleb and Seth the best for boy names! I said them all outloud and these sound the best with your ln Olsen. I like Carter, Chase, and Liam, but I don’t think they sound as good with your ln.

For girls I love all your names!! I think we have the same style :)
I LOVE Aubrey and Julianne the best. The nn’s are also super cute. I actually have both of those on my list with the same nn’s! I also really like Kara, Leah, Lily, and Sydney. Although Lily is becoming super popular, so I’m not sure if that bothers you.

Just a note, it also sounds like you are getting the majority of your advice from high schoolers that only like super trendy names and think everything else is "dated". It’s pretty obvious when the comments are just rude and not helpful and positive. I would disregard their comments entirely.

ok maybe not all of them...just 1 or 2.

Carter and Piper are my favorites
