Girls:
Ava Ronni - too much like macaroni
Charmaine Jade - don't like Charmaine
Grace Tegan - OK
Tahlia Daniela - pref Talia
Bridie Lillian Rose - OK
Hannah Mackensie - boo for Mackensie
Shelby Elise - OK
Riley Georgina - pref Riley on boys
Mya Sinead – SIB Laoise - pref Maya; I've never seen the sister's name - is that like "Louise"?
Matilda Adelaide – SIB Eliza (Two names I really like, but I don't think they work together...) - Like, and the sibset is OK.
Emma Ruby - OK
Alexandra Ci Hui Sing (Not surname...) - I'm guessing the mn is Chinese or Taiwanese?
Marne Marie (horrible! Are they going to pronounce it Marn or Marnie?? Either way it doesn't work with Marie!) - too sing-songy
Eden Mary - OK
Olivia Mya - pref Maya
Chloe Emma - OK
Boys:
Axel Giacomo - I like
Jayden Todd James - boo on Jayden
Gus Maxwell - very nice
Rohnan Thomas - Is that H necessary?
Brody Kai – SIBS Taylah & Bailey (ahhh Taylah, it's the H that makes it classy ;) - Taylah? Is that Taylor said by someone in Massachusetts? Brody Kai is OK.
Elijah Herbert - nicely retro
Stavro – SIB Erica - OK, although I think it should be Stravos.
Jayden Steven - don't like Jayden (Jaden is OK)
Maverick Ludvig (woah... this sounds like an 18th century villain to me) - terrible4
Jack Caleb - OK
Oliver George Norman - very nice
Rory Fergus - Nice
Daemon Logan (what were they thinking? I even double-checked the spelling!) - terrible
Boston Robert - boo; don't like Boston as a fn.
Riley James - OK
Jacob Edwin Ernest - so-so; I might like it better if the "Jacob" weren't first.
James Dimitri - this one is bizarre to me because I'm part Greek and lots of Greek men/boys named Demetrios (or another spelling) go by Jim or James. I have cousins who do. So it feels like James James to me.
Leo James - OK
Darcy Tighe - nms
Gabriel James - OK
Twins:
Blake Alan & Harrison Anthony (sounds like this woman gave birth to twin accountants... snore)
