Girls--
Marleymae Piper - Hm, not the most graceful invention ever. But it's decent. Vaguely ... unsophisticated. I don't care for Piper. No wonder they put it as the middle name.
Quinterica Lutura (dad – Quinton; siblings – Darius & Victoria) - Quinterica is cool, in a geeky way. I like the sibs too. Lutura sounds like a luxury car, ick.
Alexandra Rachelle (sister – Cleo) - I like both first names. I think they go oddly nicely together too. Rachelle's nms
Kaya Arianna - nice modern name; I never know whether to say KYE-a or KAY-a. I like the former best
Cori Jasmine - Cori for what? Oh well. It's nice. I'd like it as a nick better; kind of too "spunkified" for me
Mya Alicia - nice. I prefer Maya or Maia/ Clumsy combo to say out loud.
Shariya (sha-RYE-ah) Syriana - baby passed away :( Shariya is pretty. I would've spelled it Shariah. I've seen Syriana as a name somewhere else too.
Jalie Ann (sister – Brianna) the Mediocre Sisters =) in an ok way. I like Brianna alright. Jalie reminds me of "jail" though.
Kamryn Vonann - hm. not only do I not care for Kamryn, I think it's past its prime fashionwise and will make her seem older than she is. Vonann sounds like she was named for gramma.
Serena Lee - sweet, nice name. I like the mn Lee. Not Leigh.
Elyssa Ann-Marie - okay. I think I'd find it frustrating because it's not that different from Alyssa or Elisa, but it's neither, and would constantly need spelling out.

This is a few months' worth of copying down babies' names at the hospital where I work. I probably would do it anyway even if I didn't end up posting them--cuz I'm a name nerd like that--but still, it would be nice if someone would reply. :(

---

To amuse myself, here are my own comments about the names I posted (how pitiful am I? lol)....

---

Girls--
Marleymae Piper - Marley on its own would've been MUCH better. Marley + Mae smushed together is not attractive, imo. Piper is a bit trendy but ok.
Quinterica Lutura (dad – Quinton; siblings – Darius & Victoria) - Again with the 'naming the child after the father' bit. It's old, and the name is not attractive, imo. Mn sounds like a make of car. :-/
Alexandra Rachelle (sister – Cleo) - I don't love Alexandra nor Rachelle but they're not bad, and I love Cleo.
Kaya Arianna - trendy
Cori Jasmine - I'm partial to Cori because it was the name of my beloved late 14-year-old dog. :( Jasmine would be lovely if it weren't so trendy (along the lines of another flower name - Heather :b)
Mya Alicia - trendy; I love Maia and Maya but not Mya (ugh)
Shariya (sha-RYE-ah) Syriana - baby passed away :( - This was my "primary" (a baby I chose to care for whenever I was at work), and at first we laughed a bit about her mn and stumbled over how to pronounce her fn. But she unexpectedly passed away at 3 weeks old, so this name will always represent a sweet baby girl to me who was taken away from this world too soon.
