[Opinions] A Utah university's dance team roster
Replies
My first instinct is to classify Ashlee as a kre8iv Ashley, but actually I think Ashlee is cute. I don't dislike it.
Aspen is pretty good, I wouldn't give my kid a first name that starts with "ass" but I do like tree names.
Sadie... idk, it's a bit of a dog name and a bit of a "too nicknamey for a full name" name but I don't know what I'd do with it. Using it as a nickname for Sarah doesn't make sense either. It sounds friendly at least.
Megan, Brooke, Madison, Alexis, and maybe Ashlyn feel very millennial. I sometimes like Megan. Ashlyn sounds good but looks a little trendy/dated/dateable. I might prefer Ashlin.
I don't like Madalynn but I'd like Madelyn. (Or better yet, Madeline- only if pronounced like the word "line")
Paezlei and Teigyn are tragedeighs. Tegan would be alright.
Jessica is also pretty millennial/gen x but I like it.
Tyra is fine.
Hallie and Molly are cute.
I have no idea what to do with Meekela. It looks like a version of Mikayla at first but it looks like it's pronounced... MEE-kell-uh? MEE-kuh-luh? That doesn't sound bad but I don't like the "ee". Mikela maybe?
Kenya is sort of a GP.
Katherine would be good but Kathryn is too dated.
Kaydree looks so awkward and trendy but sounds fine if I just say it and don't look at it. The "dree" sound is like the end of Audrey, Adri, etc. I don't know of a non-awkward way to spell it but I don't hate the sound.
Don't like Aunika but would like Anika or Annika.
I like Kali if it's KAH-lee, but if it's like Callie then it needs more letters.
Kalli is okay but it just seems like a trying-too-hard version of Callie. But I understand if it's short for something (like Kallista)

Some of these feel very Utah, like Paezley Teigyn, Meekela or Kaydree. I've seen Mormon name memes and jokes online, so I guess it comes from a part of truth.
I'm surprised that Kalli/Kali is so popular.
