So even though my list is done I founds a few new names that I have a feeling are going to ve strictly gp's. Opinions?
Branigan
Connolly
Lorcan
Cecilia/Cecelia (opinions on spelling?)
And maybe first name that has the nickname Elsie? (Other than Elizabeth or Elise)
New Names?

I really like Connolly, though I prefer Conley, which I just added to my own list. I wouldn't used Branigan myself, but I appreciate its Irish sound. I'd spell Cecelia like this - it's not a favorite of mine, but it is very pretty. I understand the appeal. Even just using Elsa nn Elsie could work. I think its very cute and it reminds me of Ella/Ellie without the overuse. Lorcan isn't my style

I LOVE Branigan acutally <3 I don't like the way it looks though.... I might spell it Brannagon, Branegan something like that.. though I think Brannagon/Branagon is probably my favorite

First off, I love Elsie!!! I kind of want it on my list, but idk what Mike would say. Normally its short for Elsa, but I think Ellison / Ellisyn, Elisa / Elissa, Elessia / Elissia, Eliska, etc could all work.
Branigan is okay. As Rose said, I can appreciate the Irish sound. I just don't care for how it looks really.
Connelly is nice.
Lorcan always made me think of a shows villian's name. Idk why, it just has that feel to it, maybe? Probably just me lol
I definitely prefer Cecelia spelled this way. I think its cute! It was on my list for a while (Piper Cecelia) but people kept bringing up how Cecelia means "blind" every time they saw my list and it really started to bother me, so I took it off.
It is really pretty though, I like it! <3

Thanks guys!
I'm pretty much at the point where the sound of Branigan is nice but I'm thinking of people not being sure how to spell it.
I like Elisa but I'm not totally sold. Elsa is okay but my first thought is the owner of the company I work for.
And yeah, I never really put a lot into what a name meant (even though that's what got me into names). But I can see where blind isn't exactly a wonderful meaning.
And I see where you're coming from on a villian's name. The first time I saw Lorcan it was the name of the anti-hero in a book.

After a day of nothing I've found the totally unrelated Camden. Opinions? I'm not sure if it's too last name-y or screams I was born in 2010 like Aiden and other "newer" names. Maybe Camden Michael or Marcus Camden if I use it as a middle?
And Elsie, I've made no progress. I like Elodie but is it too much of a stretch to Elsie?

I love Lorcan and Cecelia! I saw Lorcan in a book I was reading and cosidered adding it to my list, but I haven't...yet 
I like Branigan, but it would be strictly be a GP for me. And Connelly is nice, but I wouldnt use it myself. .
As for Camden, there's a boy that comes to church name Camden and he is ADORABLE! I know a couple who named their son Camden, but with the spelling Kamden (their daughter was Karleigh....) I love the combo Camden Micheal as well
