I like:
Abigail Charlotte - Lovely! I'm seem to be one of the few BtN-members who genuinely loves Abigail.
Adelaide
Eden
Keziah - Nice to see this!
Winifred Rose - Beautiful.
Bonnie
Lydia
Isobel
&
Henry Charles Raymond
Henry James - His parents literature professors, by any chance?
Josiah Patrick
I *would* like Isabelle Olivia Grace, if it weren't such an overload of currently popular names.
I'd also prefer Oakley on a girl (in fact it's the name of one of my characters in something I'm writing - her mother's maiden name).
What, exactly, is "Swaley?"
Thomas Michael is quite boring. But at least he won't be teased for his name.
You also have both a Guya and Girlie in this post... not names I'd like to have, to say the least (especially not Girlie... wow).

I have no idea about Swaley. My friend (who's nephew it is) thought it was a made up name. I Googled it and apparently it is an Old-English word / place name but I assume the mother (who I don't know) just heard it somewhere and used it.
Oakley is proving to be quite trendy for baby boys here. I assume influenced by the sunglasses brand but don't know. Not my style.
Isabelle is a baby I know of and I think the parents did deliberately use all their favourite names as she may turn out to be an only child. I think it's nice, but a bit of a mouthful.
Don't know anything about the parents of Henry James. They are either huge fans of his writing or have never heard of him and so the association has passed them by!

Abigail Charlotte - nice
Adelaide - very cute
Alice Mackenzie - I don't like Alice at all. However, this combo is oddly nice together. For some reason the different styles really complement each other. I like Mackenzie a lot
Amelia Chloe - Amelia has grown on me a ton this year. I love Chloe
Paige - has grown on me a lot the last few years. Only like it as a MN though
Bella - nice, but overdone (unfortunately)
Eden - nice, but I wouldn't use it
Hattie Louise – very cute
Isabelle Chloe - I like Isabelle but prefer Isabela.
Isabelle Olivia Grace - I adore all of these names. But Isabelle Olivia is a bit of a mouthfull
Keziah - cool name
Winifred Rose - Hate Winifred, much prefer Wynn/Wynne. Don't really like Rose either, I prefer Rosalie
Girlie - whaaaaat? Kind of endearing when you think about it as a name in the 20s. But not today.
Hanna - love it, but prefer Hana spelling
Aimee - hate it
Ruby - see Eden
Bonnie - NMSAA
Lydia
Charlie William – Charlie is really cute. Don't really like William even though there is nothing wrong with it. Just doesn't do anything for me. The combo flows nicely though

Very unlikely. This was in Southampton, England, I'd imagine nothing to do with a Dakota name! I looked it up on the Free BMD site which I sometimes use for family tree research and there are a few born after 1885 including a Girlie Florence and a Girlie Helena. The more I type it, the stranger it seems!

"Girlie Florence and a Girlie Helena"
They had lovely middle names - I hope they went by those!
