Wow, more boy names than girl names? Usually it’s the other way around!
Jane Louise was easy to choose as a favorite for me. I love how simple and elegant it is and how well it flows.
Other noteworthy girl names…
Adela Hart - I wonder if Hart’s the mother’s maiden name or otherwise honoring someone? I love Adela.
Arya Marie - I’m sure most would argue that it’s boring but I think it sounds sweet.
Lavinia Violet - A bit of a “v” overload but both names individually are stunning.
Some names that stood out in a not so good way…
Hannah Grace - All I’m able to feel towards this name is boredom x2.
Alleigh Joann - Allie / Ally is much better. Even then I’d wish they used a more formal name with Allie / Ally as a nickname.
Macy Elizabeth - “Macy” annoys me to no end. Maisie is so much better!
Marilee Marie - Seems redundant to me.
Elliott Kathryn - Ellen? Elena? Elizabeth? Why Elliott?
Saylor Kaye - Ugh. I just really dislike Saylor / Sailor.
Charleston “Charlie” Lynn - If they were planning on using Charlie as a nickname all along, why not use Charlotte as the full name? Even just Charlie would’ve been better than Charleston.
Preston Hope - Bad for a boy, even worse for a girl.
Finley Kate - Ugh.
For boys I really adore Miles Joseph. I love how fun and youthful Miles is.
Other names I liked…
Judah Leonard - Such a nice combo, I really enjoy both names.
Judah Michael x2
Isaac David - Classic and handsome.
Ellis James - A close second for my favorite. Such a handsome combo!
Eli Daniel - Though I wish Eli were short for Elliott / Elias / etc.
Jude Thomas - Another combo I liked a lot.
Milo Everett - I think it’s fun and cute.
Callen Edward - Though I do prefer Callan. I’ve always loved this name on a boy.
William Caleb - Classic and well put together.
Carson John - I’ve always liked Carson as well.
Micah Jameson - I love how these names sound together, even though neither of them are really my style.
Names I didn’t like…
Kenan Phillip - Really dislike Kenan.
Caden James - Not a fan of Caden or most -aden names.
Kenneth “Tripp” Wayne - I dislike all three names in this combo. Kenneth is old and boring (as well as Ken), Tripp is childish and insubstantial, and Wayne has always sounded ugly to me.
Sailor John - I dislike Sailor on both genders.
Branson - Need I even say anything?
Keenan James
Carl “William” - Huh?
Worth Benjamin - What kind of name is Worth?
Branson Walker
Wilder Jackson - Two surnames?
Hudson Nathanael - Dislike Hudson.
Griffin Scott - Griffin has always sounded so ugly to me.
Jax Phillip - Jack is so much better than Jax.
Tucker Banks - Probably my least favorite name on the list. Tucker sounds so redneck to me and Banks just seems odd.
Walker Clark - Wow, more surnames.
Caston Garrett - Like Gaston with a C?
Bennett James - Benjamin is better.
Camden - Juvenile and trendy.
Judson Roosevelt - Judson is butt ugly.
Calsen David - Calsen sounds weird.
Jedidiah David - The son of an overzealous cult leader. The nickname Jed is no good either.
