[Opinions] Re: The names this influencer wanted to name her child
Oaken - Cool word, don't like it as a name, but like Oak for a boy
Vessel - Again, the word is cool but it would have TERRIBLE connotations as a name
Sparrow (assuming the extra r was a typo) - I like this, especially as a middle name. I'd say unisex but slightly prefer for a boy.
Nature - Would be a good name meaning but the word itself would make a terrible name
Valleigh - Took me a minute to realize this is the tragedeigh version of "valley". Valley could work as a middle name, I guess, but Meadow is more established as a name (even though the sound of Valley is more namey).
Talon - I like it for a boy.
Earth - Same comment as Nature. I guess there's Eartha but that feels dated.
Stori - What's wrong with Story? Story would be cute, especially as a middle name but it could work as a first name too, but Stori looks like an 80's girls name from an alternate timeline where Story was popular for boys.
Reason - This one feels more like a Puritan name. It would be interesting to see on someone, but I wouldn't use it or encourage anyone to use it.
Crimsyn - I like Crimson for girls, but the y is cringey.
Belay - I get it, you like climbing, but this is not a name!
Oak - I like it for boys
Current - Nope, not namey. I'd suggest River or even Creek instead
Windsor - Nope. It looks like you're trying to sound rich. It looks especially weird with all these nature and outdoorsy names.
Grey - I like this for a boy, mostly as a middle name but it would be fine as a first name too.
Merrick - I like this for a boy
Alder - I like this for a boy
Oath - Another one of those "cool word, weird name" situations. If I met someone who introduced themself as Oath I'd ask them to repeat it a few times while trying to figure out if they had a lisp.
Theory - I guess it sounds sort of namey, but it's a bit of a weird word to use as a name. if I ignore the meaning it sounds like it could be a girls name. Reminds me of words like Poem being used as names.
Written - Also a weird word to use as a name, but it doesn't sound namey at all. If I heard this I'd assume it was a boy named Ritten and that it was a surname used as a first name.
