Comments:
Davily - looks more like an adverb than a name for a little girl :(
Genimi Odessa - Is the fn just a misspelling of Gemini...weird, either way
Bravo - why, what has he done to deserve an ovation? He was just born! lol
Damien Bishop - Does this seem like a contradiction to anyone else? :b
Tayon - And his sister, Rayon
George William

In the WWTT department: Paz may mean peace, but it sounds like "pass." Aww.
I don't think Davily is so bad. It's strange, but memorable.
Lavell was the name of my neighbors' dad when I was growing up, oddly enough. He was white, too.
Ward - heh. Like Ward Cleaver. Must be after his granddad.
Devon is okay, but I can't stand Riley on a girl. I think it seems tacky.

I like:
Victoria Paz - Paz means "peace" in Spanish, so this combo sort of means "victory of peace" or "victorious peace"
Teresa Joan
Samantha Marie - Like both names, but not together as the Ms clash and make it sound mumbly to me
Alyssa Marie - Pretty, but dull
Felicia
Laura Elizabeth
Emma Elizabeth
Amber Nicole - Very '80s and dull, but it's still pretty
Natalie Jade
Taina Vanessa - Taina's the Finnish form of Tatiana, and perfectly alright imo. On the other hand, if they're not Finnish...
Sean Anthony - Prefer Seán or Shawn
George William
Francis Dean
Nathan Isaiah
Robert Arthur Dupont - I hope Dupont's a family surname, since DuPont's is also a manufacturing company
Shawn Christian - Like both names, but not together because I dislike the double -n endings. Also, although I like the name's secular (especially royal) history and sound, I would only use Christian if the family was indeed Christian
Alejandro
Richard Francis
Max Daniel - Prefer Max as a nn (for Maxwell, Maximilian, Maxime, etc.)
Victoria Paz - Paz means "peace" in Spanish, so this combo sort of means "victory of peace" or "victorious peace"
Teresa Joan
Samantha Marie - Like both names, but not together as the Ms clash and make it sound mumbly to me

I like/love:
GIRLS:

Marie

Savannah Lynn
Laura Elizabeth- This is gorgeous.
Emma Elizabeth- Don't care for this combo, but the names are alright.
Amber- Ok.

Robert Arthur
Chandler
Christian
Alejandro
Bravo- lol, I don't like this, but it's rather amusing.
Max
Michael
Anthony Lamar- I don't care for Lamar, but I like it's sound as a mn.
Marisell is rather pretty. It's nms, but it's got a nice sound.

I like:
Samantha Marie
Alyssa Marie
Savannah Lynn - I know Savannah's trendy, and I would never use it for my daughter, but I just can't help liking the name! It's sweet.
Emma Elizabeth - A great name compared to some of the travesties we see far too frequently now, but ideally I think Emma should be paired with a middle name that doesn't start with a vowel sound.
Emma Celcilia - Is the middle name supposed to be Cecilia? Celcilia is such a weird spelling or variation, but I think Emma is lovely and classic.
Sean Anthony
George William - Curiously enough, I've really started to love the name George on a boy despite the fact that I despise the current President.
Francis Dean - I'm so happy to see Francis on a boy! I hope this becomes popular again; there's absolutely nothing wrong with the name, and there's so much history behind it.
Nathan Isaiah
Richard Francis - Francis twice in one birth announcement post! Amazing. Richard is a classic you don't see too often now, either.
Jeffrey Talley - I don't know if Talley is the mother's maiden name or just a random trendy combination of syllables, but I do really like Jeffrey with this spelling.
Max Daniel
Samantha Marie
Alyssa Marie
Savannah Lynn - I know Savannah's trendy, and I would never use it for my daughter, but I just can't help liking the name! It's sweet.

Shawn Christian - Haha, I have a friend named Sean Christian

Damien Bishop? - Thats just odd
Paz means Peace in Spanish, there is an actress named Paz Vega.
I'm somewhat partial to Bravo since it's my "brother's" surname.
Bishop, haha, I actually know kids named Deacon & Churchman as well. I'm waiting to see Priestess show up one day, haha.
