Adair-I like the sound of this name, just undecided if I like it for a girl.
Alba-Alba is cute. It's very popular in Spain, not so much here. It also reminds me of Jessica Alba.
Alice-This is one of my more favorite classic names. Most likely due to Lewis Carroll. This name has been on and off in popularity, and it probably will become more so due to all the Alice in Wonderland attention. Still much love for this name.
Annabeth *Annie/Beth*-I adore this name! I'm not a fan of most "Anne/Anna names but this one is wonderful. I first heard this name in the Percy Jackson series and I associate the name with the character, but in this case I think it's fine.
Avia-This one is just ok. Seems to short to be a full name.
Aya-Better than Avia but not my favorite. A lot of people like this name and it is used in many other countries.
Bay-I have seen this as a m/n but not as a f/n. Personally not fond of it much as either.
Bliss-Not a fan of many word/emotion names, and I really don't like this one. If used as a n/n or even m/n it could work but not as a full f/n.
Bridget *Britta*-Bridget is good spunky, fun, sounding name. I think it sounds very modern, however it's only in the 400 in popularity. There should be more Bridgets running around.
Caitrin *Cate*-I've never heard of this name. Unless it's just an alternate spelling to Catherine/Caitlin. I'm not sure if I like it atm.
Carsyn-I prefer the spelling Carson and though unisex, sounds better on a boy to me.
Celia-A very pretty Spanish/Italian/Shakespeare name. It's not even popular here, what a shame. I do think it will become more popular soon though.
Christobel *Tobi*-Nice and unique name. I like the Christabelle spelling. Tobi is a cute n/n but when I hear Tobi I think of a little boy. It's still cute.
Dallas-One of the better state names, but not my style. It was originally a Scottish place name.
Davani-Sounds very interesting, maybe like an Indian or African kind of name. It also vaguely reminds me of Dasani water.
Delilah *Lilah*-An old-fashioned name making a comeback. Very pretty cut n/n as well.
Dianna *Anna/Annie*-Classy name with a beautiful meaning. It's also a worldwide used name
Donovan *Nova*-I do like Nova as a n/n but Donovan is a heavily masculine Irish/Gaelic name, so I don't think works for a girl.
Eidel *Eidie*-Different, very sweet Yiddish name.
Esme/Esmae (considering the alternate spelling to honor the godmother's middle name, Mae)-Mae is one of my faves, the name Esmae is ok but I really like that it's significant to you.
Evangeline *Evie/Annie*-My third favorite girl name. Such a great name; it's an old-fashioned name but sounds modern. I like the n/n "Eva".
Genevieve *Evie*-Another favorite, it's just so fun to say. I also like the n/n though I would spell it "Evee".
Georgiana *Georgie/Anna*-No. Not fond of George female variant names, sorry.
Hallie-I believe it's more closely pronounced as Holly than Hailey. Nice name.
Halo-I've never considered this as a name, but just looking at it is making me like it. lol
Hartlyn-Is this an original name? I like the spelling, not so much the sound.
Hero-I like this name because of it's Greek association, but at the same time the standard "Hero" association is too strong.
Hollis-I'd like to see a child with this unique name. It's derived from a Middle English word for holly trees.
Honor *Nora*-Again not a fan of virtue names.
Imogen *Ginny*-Wonderful name, I'd like to meet an Imogen. I don't like the n/n Ginny though.
Isis-Named from an Egyptian Goddess. A very beautiful and powerful name.
Jemima *Jemma/Maya*-Actually prefer both the n/n to Jemima. Jemima brings pancakes to mind.
Leanna *Leannie/Annie/Anna*-I like this name, not love just like.
Lillia-Pretty and rolls off the tongue easily.
Linnea-A Swedish name that is very popular in Sweden, not here though. It comes from the name of a flower.
Luciana *Lucy/Anna*-I prefer the male variant Lucian.
Maeve-A fierce and fun Irish name. I don't like the spelling, but it does have Mae in it to honor the Godmother too.
Magdalen *Maggie*-I love this name too! I don't think I could ever use it as a f/n, but it makes a grand m/n.
Matilda *Tilly*-I've always liked this name, probably due to the book. A lovely old-fashioned name.
Mirabelle *Mira*-Like Mira by itself but not with belle.
Nora-Not my taste, yet a timeless and loved name.
Nova-Means new, a very cool and modern girl name.
Payton-When I hear Payton I just think of a boy rather than a girl.
Peace-Extremely hippie-ish, still not a fan lol
Penelope *Poppy*-Penelope is cute, and spunky and I really like the spelling.
Philippa *Pippa*-Don't much care for Philippa, but Pippa is a fave, I would never use just Pippa though. Apparently it's a naughty/intimate word in other languages.
Renna-I like the spelling of this name. Is it pronounce with a short or long a?
Rosalie *Rosie*-Many people seem to love this name more and more. It's also an alternative to just rose.
Rowan-This is one of my most favorite names, except for a boy. Can't see it on a girl at all.
Scarlett *Carly*-Scarlett's is Classy without being too grand. I love Carly as a n/n , never considered it on Scarlett.
Sellers-I'm sorry I don't like anything about this one. It sounds like your trying to sell something to someone.
Sylvia *Sylvie*-Nice, cute, and elegant.
Soleil-Interesting name. I am curious on how to pronounce it.
Tessa-Simple but a strong feminine name.
Tyler-I don't like it. Tyler is a male name, not unisex. It sounds very masculine, and I think would be bad to name a girl after.
Vada-I've never heard of this one either but I don't think I like it, don't dislike it either.
Willa-I like William on a boy, but not Willa on a girl

I enjoyed going through your list, you have a wonderful bunch of names here. I'll go through the boys later.

I like these of your girls names:
Alice
Annabeth *Annie/Beth*
Avia
Celia
Delilah *Lilah*
Eidel *Edie*
Evangeline *Evie/Annie*
Genevieve *Evie*
Hallie
Honor *Nora*
Imogen *Ginny*
Linnnea
Maeve
Magdelen *Maggie*
Nora
Nova
Penelope *Poppy*
Philippa *Pippa*
Rosalie *Rosie
Scarlett *Carly*
Tessa
Willa

Alice is beautiful and classic! Annabeth is really classic, but I don't really hear it vey often at all. Both Annie and Beth are gorgeous nick names! <3 Avia seems to have a certain charm. Celia is just sweet. Delilah is beautiful, and I love Lilah! Eidel is unique, I've never heard it before! But it doesn't sound too unique, in my opinion. And I have lately been thinking about how much I like Edie as a nick name, so I really like it! <3 Is it pronounced Ee-dell? Evangeline is beautiful, even if very religious sounding. Love Evie, though Annie does make sense but I don't care for it for Evangeline personally :) Genevieve I love! On my list <3 Hallie is plain and simple, but has that sweet and beautiful girl feel to it! Honor is beautiful, and Nora is beautiful, but I feel like it doesn't quite work as a nick name because they are both the same amount of syllables and stuff, you know? Maybe using Honora nick name Nora? So then it is shortening it a tad to a nick name. Instead of two names that do relate and all but just feel the exact same length and all... Imogen, Linnea, Nora, Nova, Penelope, Philippa, Tessa, and Willa are all just plain gorgeous! I adore Maeve! Magdelen is unique and all, like! Scarlett is such a gorgeous name, but again I feel like the nick name isn't shortening it at all. And I adore Rosie as a nick name, Rosalie is cute!

And the girls names I don't like so much:
Adair
Alba
Aya
Bay
Bliss
Bridget *Britta*
Caitrin *Cate*
Carsyn
Christobel *Tobi*
Dallas
Davani
Dianna *Anna/Annie*
Donovan *Nova*
Esme/Esmae (considering the alternate spelling to honor the godmother's middle name, Mae)
Georgiana *Georgie/Anna*
Halo
Hartlyn
Hero
Hollis
Isis
Jemima *Jemma/Maya*
Leanna *Leannie/Annie/Anna*
Lillia
Luciana *Lucy/Anna*
Matilda *Tilly*
Mirabelle *Mira*
Payton
Peace
Renna
Rowan
Sellers
Sylvia *Sylvie*
Soleil
Tessa
Tyler
Vada

Adair is okay, I just don't care for it. Alba, Aya, Bliss, and Bridget are just okay <3 Bay is kinda cute, but idk. Caitrin sounds like how my ex bf used to tease my friend Kaitlin because our best friend is asain and he'd call her Caitrin and stuff. Carsyn will always be all boy to me, no matter how spelled :) Christobel is interesting, like its nice but I don't know... Tobi is very very boyish to me <3 Dallas also sounds kinda manly. Davani is interesting, never heard ir before <3 Dianna is beautiful just not my style. Donovan is 110% boy to me, never heard it being thought of on a girl before! :o Esme is a fine spelling, because the godmother will be able to hear that her name is being honored when saying it, doesn't necessarily need to be added onto the spelling <3 Georgiana, Hartlyn, and Hollis are okay, just nms. Halo and Hero, I feel like wont age very well. Isis is interesting, kinda nice but I'd never use it personally <3 Jemima is all maple syrup to me! <3 Leanna, Lillia, Luciana, Matilda, Mirabel, Renna, Rowan, Soleil, and Tyler are all nice, just not my style. Payton is all boy to me. Peace and Sellers don't feel like names to me, nor do I feel like they would age. And Vada is kinda nice, makes me think of Darth Vader and I've never even watched a single Star Wars before! Tehehe <3


Boys names I like:
Abel
Abram
Ashton
Beau
Bryce
Callum
Christopher *Topher*
Crispin
Elliot *Leo*
Flynn
Gabriel *Gabe*
Gavin
Gideon *Dean*
Hayden *Hayes*
Jacob *Coby*
Jesse
Jonah
Lionel *Lyle*
Malachi *Kai*
Milo
Nicholas
Nico
Noel
Taylor

I love Ashton, Christopher is handsome though popular, Crispin I love even though it kinda makes me think of crispy chicken or something :x Elliot is wicked handsome, Flynn I love! Dean is a nice nick name for Gideon, even though I don't care for Dean lol. I dunno, its much better than Giddy as a nick name by a long shot hehe! Its nice to know there is a nick name for Gideon though! <3 I feel like instead of Jacob nick name Coby, maybe you might like Jacoby nick name Coby? it'd make slightly more sense and has more of the Coby sound in it and is longer than the nick name itself... Just a thought :D I love Lionel, though I'd use Leo as a nick name. Milo = love! Even though I always think of Milo and Otis ! <3 Nico is cutsy! And the rest are all nice and handsome and stuff <3

Aldo [Shoes! I get a bunch of shoes from this store...]
Amos
Angus *Gus*
Asa

Everett *Rhett*
Fraser
Fritz
Gaige
Gordon *Gordo*
Graham
Grayer
Hayes
Hugo *Huey*
Huxley *Huck* (my only prob with this is Huck is so close to the F word D: I feel like it could be teasing potential </3 )
Jamison *Jamie*
Jasper
Jensen
Jeremy *Remy*
John
Knox
Lyle
Noble
Otter (animal is adorable, as a name I don't feel its suiting </3)

And the rest I don't like.... enough said lol. I don't like going through names and stating why I dislike them D: So yeah, I'll leave it at this :P With three or four of them having an opinion lol.



I hope this is helpful to you! :P

I underlined the ones I love, and strikethrough the ones I don't like.

Girls
Adair
Alba ~~~ but it is a nice idea that you want to use it because it is a family name.
Alice ~~~ okay but it lookes a bit dated to me, probably because I know an Alice who is in her 50s or 60s.
Annabeth *Annie/Beth* ~~~ like it, doesn't always have to be Elizabeth or Annabelle. Like the nn.
Avia ~~~ I love it, it is unique, simple and beautiful!!!

Aya
Bay ~~~ mn potential
Bliss ~~~ is that a name?
Bridget *Britta* ~~~ not really a fan but it is growing on me.
Caitrin *Cate* ~~~ haven't seen this one before, but I am not sure yet whether to like it or not. I prefer this spelling: Catrin or Caitlin. My SIL is Katrin.

Carsyn
Celia ~~~ love this one, also Cecilia or Cordelia/Delia
Christobel *Tobi* ~~~ so masculine
Dallas
Davani ~~~ haven't seen this one either. But I kinda like it!!!
Delilah *Lilah* ~~~ I am not fond of Lilah, but Delilah is growing on me!
Dianna *Anna/Annie* ~~~ I like the spelling!

Donovan *Nova* ~~~ this screams boy to me, but I love the nn.
Eidel *Eidie* ~~~ weird! I don't even like Eden.
Esme/Esmae (considering the alternate spelling to honor the godmother's middle name, Mae) ~~~ Love this name, it is just gorgeous!!! I love the idea that you want to use an alternative spelling, but a slightly different pronouncation comes with it and I am not sure whether it would work, but it is growing on me though.
Evangeline *Evie/Annie* ~~~ sooo long, and I never know how to pronounce it, well I am German, so English pronouncation is a bit different.
Genevieve *Evie* ~~~ cute, I like Evie as nn.
Georgiana *Georgie/Anna* ~~~ prefer Georgina, I have difficulties pronouncing Georgiana, oh wait, if it is sth like that: Georgia+na, then you're good.

Hallie
Halo
Hartlyn
Hero ~~~ don't like this one, also because of the connection to the drug, especially if you want to use it for a girl. And the feminine version is Heroine.
Hollis ~~~ like Holly, but Hollis looks boyish
Honor *Nora* ~~~ Love the nn but I usually don't like 'word names' and since Jessica Alba named her daughter Honor, it is used sometimes. But it is uncommon. But I guess there are way more weird names than Honor.
Imogen *Ginny*
Isis ~~~ Love it. I am a fan of mythological names, and Isis was the mother of ancient Egyptian gods! I love this meaning.
Jemima *Jemma/Maya*
Leanna *Leannie/Annie/Anna* ~~~ Always been a fan of LeeAnn, so Leanna is also one of my favorites. Another nn would be Lea(h)
Lillia
Linnea ~~~ very gorgeous. Another unique, simple and beautiful name.
Luciana *Lucy/Anna* ~~~ I like it more than Lucy or Lucia as fn. Lucy is a great nn, so is Anna.

Maeve ~~~ weird sounding
Magdalen *Maggie* ~~~ prefer Magdalena, Maggie is gorgeous as nn.
Matilda *Tilly* ~~~ not a fan
Mirabelle *Mira* ~~~ It is growing on me, but not my favorite, yet.
Nora ~~~ Love it, it doesn't have to be a nn.
Nova ~~~ Love it, it doesn't have to be a nn.
Payton ~~~ okay, but it is popular

Peace ~~~ noo
Penelope *Poppy* ~~~ like Penelope, but hate Poppy. I know it is a flower, but to me the name isn't beautiful at all. It also has teasing potential: poopy!
Philippa *Pippa* ~~~ It is probably getting popular because of Duchess Kate's sister. It isn't that popular, yet, but it will be. I still don't know whether to like it or not! I guess I like the boy version of that name more!

Renna
Rosalie *Rosie* ~~~ Love this one, well in English I do!
Rowan ~~~ so masculine
Scarlett *Carly* ~~~ It is probably so popular because of Scarlett Johansson. I still don't know whether to like it or not! Love the nn though.
Sellers
Sylvia *Sylvie* ~~~ I actually prefer Sylvie, not Sylvia.
Soleil ~~~ To me, it is not a name. If you want to call her 'sun', I suggest Stella. Soleil has a nice sound but I don't see a person with that name.
Tessa ~~~ okay
Tyler
Vada
Willa ~~~ okay, but I am not really a fan of the 'Willow- family' or William.

Suggestions: (love 'C' names)
Cordelia ~ nn Cori or Delia
Cornelia ~ nn Cori or Lia/Leah
Cecelia/Cecilia ~ nn Celia/Cilia
Catrina
Caitlin
Gabrielle/Gabriella
Brielle/Briella

Boys
Abel
Abram
Aldo ~~~ I know an Aldo, so I think it is a nice name. He was named after Aldo Rossi, an architect.
Amos ~~~ mmh, not sure of it.

Angus *Gus*
Asa
Ashton
August *Augie*
Beau ~~~ It is an okay nickname, but I don't see it as a full firstname
Boone ~~~ weird one.
Broc Owen *Bo*
Brooks ~~~ as nn to Brooklyn.
Bryce ~~~ like it, but it has a harsh sound to it.
Calder
Callum ~~~ I am starting to love this name!
Carleton ~~~ undecided
Christian *Ian* ~~~ I have been loving this name for quite a while, but I can't use it, unfortunately.
Christopher *Topher* ~~~ Love this name, but Chris as nn, not Topher.
Corbin *Ori* (this was supposed to be Ori's (Orin) full name) ~~~ Love this one too, but don't like the nn. I would go with Cory. To me it is unique, simple and gorgeous, and I think it will age well.

Crispin
Curran ~~~ don't know yet, but it is on the 'liking side'.
Dante ~~~ Love it, I have no idea why this names has sth.!
Davis ~~~ Like it. Maybe because it is similar to David and Davy, and I like both names.

Douglas ~~~ noo
Edison *Eddy* ~~~ Nice name that is ageless!
Elliot *Leo* ~~~ not really my style, but I like that you would use it on a boy. A lot of people want to name their baby girls Elliot and I don't see why, it screams all boy to me. Leo is a gorgeous nn.
Emeric/Emerrick *Ricky* ~~~ haven't decided yet.
Everett *Rhett* ~~~ I know an Everett, so I think it will age well! But I don't like the nn, it sounds like rat!
Flynn ~~~ Love it, but it somehow looks like a nn. I also like Finn as nn to Finnegan, Finley, Fineas (Phineas)

Fraser
Fritz ~~~ In Germany, it is oldfashioned, and I always think, that it doesn't sound nice, and it doesn't matter if it is in German or English, especially in English.
Gabriel *Gabe* ~~~ like this one, but I actually prefer the feminine spelling on a girl.
Gaige
Gavin ~~~ like it.
Gideon *Dean* ~~~ have been loving this name since I read it somewhere. It is gorgeous from the first to the last letter. I love your nn Dean.
Gordon *Gordo* ~~~ okay, but don't like the nn.

Graham
Grayer
Hayden *Hayes* ~~~ it is a trendy name. And it gets more popular for girls.
Hayes ~~~ I like Hayes more than Hayden.

Hugo *Huey* ~~~ noooo, even uglier than Fritz
Huxley *Huck* ~~~ different, but kinda cute.
Jacob *Coby* ~~~ you can not be wrong with a traditional name! Love you nn choice!
Jamison *Jamie* ~~~ Never liked Jamie as full first name, because it sounds so cute for an adult. But it definitely works as nn to Jamison. It is stronger, and great alternative to James, which I don't really like.

Jasper
Jensen ~~~ okay, but this is the last name of a friend, so I don't really see it as fn.
Jeremy *Remy* ~~~ Classic name, nothing wrong with that. Another great nn. I like that you try to find different nn to names, and it works :)

Jesse
John ~~~ Traditional name, my cousins name is John, and it works great. But I actually prefer Jonathan.
Jonah
Knox ~~~ like it, unique, simple and gorgeous. I still don't know if it suits every age!
Lionel *Lyle* ~~~ not a fan of Lyle, but it works as nn.

Lyle
Malachi *Kai* ~~~ I am getting used to that name, and I am starting to like it, but it will not hit my top 10 names.
Milo ~~~ it is growing on me, but it will probably not be one of my favorites.
Nicholas *Nico/Claus* ~~~ Love Nicholas, but I don't like your nn. Nico is my brothers name and I don't think it ages well, Klaus is one of my uncles names and I still don't like the name.

Nico
Noble
Noel ~~~ I prefer Joel. I don't like the pronouncation of Noel.
Otter
Pierce ~~~ might work
Sampson *Sam*
Serefin *Finn*
Spencer ~~~ starting to like it a lot, but it wouldn't hit my top 10.
Syler
Taylor
Tennyson
Thaddeus *Teddy* ~~~ I am soo in love with that name!!! Besides mythological names, I love ancient Roman and Greek names that end with ~ius or -eus!!! I know that many of those names are considered as oldfashioned, but to me they are beautiful and they are not oldfashioned in Germany. Some are even considered being strong. I do want a strong, beautiful and ageless name for my boy, not a pretty one, those are for girls. (I make a difference between pretty and beautiful.) So I will always prefer -ius over -ian at the end, despite the fact that -ian is becoming an ending for girls names. I guess you could tell that I don't like unisex names.
Tory
Travis ~~~ I know a Travis, but I am not sure about the name. One of my friends named her son Trevin. Much softer sounding, Travis has a harsh sound to it.
Trey ~~~ I know a little boy with the name Treycen, I prefer the spelling Treyson. Trey would be a great nn to those 2 names.
Tristan ~~~Loving it, same reason as Thaddeus
Truman ~~~ okay, I guess, but not my style

Wilder
Wise ~~~ don't see why that is a name!
Yates
Zajac *Jac*
Zane
Zeben *Ben*
Zeke

Suggestions:
Treyson
Trevin
Julius
Donovan
Finnegan
Philipp/Philip/Phillipp

Avia -- 3/10 (Sorry, not really my style)
