[Opinions] Some recent names
Here are some recent sightings: Saturn (boy)
Bradley (girl)
Saelyn (girl) And a recent birth announcement from someone I know:
Isla MarenI think Saturn is interesting, but don’t like Bradley on a girl, or the name Saelyn. I love Isla Maren, though. What do you all think?

I'm not a fan of these names at all, to put it nicely. Bradley is actually a name that I'd consider for a son, because I find it very handsome and strong. I definitely can appreciate Isla Maren, however! Also, I'd consider the name Saturn for a pet or fictional character.
Saturn doesn't appeal to me one bit. It's a beautiful planet, OK, but the god it's named after is mythologically complex if not confused. Either way, it doesn't seem suitable for humans.
Bradley for a boy is just another lnfn; for a girl, it suggests that the parents have assumed that their child will share their preferences for unisex names at all costs, even if it means that William is a girl and her brother is Angela. They might be right; or not.
Saelyn? Seems nautical. Also seems like the Rod Stewart song, which I like though I usually don't enjoy Rod Stewart. But as a name, I'm glad it isn't mine.
Isla Maren is pretty; I wonder if people might feel the need to pronounce the s? That would be unfortunate.
Isla Maren is nice. I hate Bradley for a girl.
Isla Maren is nice, don't like the others, especially Bradley for a girl
Saturn is flat out ridiculous on any gender, dislike Bradley for a girl (just why?) and also Saelyn which sounds a lot like "Sailing", but Isla Maren is absolutely lovely.
Isla Maren is STUNNING, whoa! Saelyn and Bradley on a girl, not so much. I think Saturn is really cool, though!
I think Isla Maren is lovely. Saturn and Saelyn aren’t my thing and I don’t like Bradley on a girl.
