Leslie- I think this is a pretty name.
Chelsea- Love it ;-).
Margaret- Don't really like it, but I don't hate it at all. It's a family name for me anyways.
Missy- Really don't like as a formal name. It's an ok nn, but sounds really really childish on a grown woman.
Jennifer- Pretty, but sooo boring since it's so overdone.
Ann- Nice enough, but dull. Like it better than Anne though.
Carolyn- Don't like it.
Uno- lol, it's not even the feminine spelling.
Terry- I don't like this name at all for either gender.
Celia- Pretty sound but very bad meaning.
Sylvia- Lovely name.
Constance- Ok.
Valerie- Pretty and not commonly used. I like it :-)
Jeanne- Ok, but a little dull.
Tracy- Ok. Tolerable. A little dated to me.
Anne- Ok but a little dull. Prefer Ann.BOYS:
Kevin- Ok, but a little boring.
John- Nice.
Cedric- Love this!
Allen- Don't really like this name, but it isn't bad at all.
Jonathan- Never really like this name, but I don't hate it.

Tom- Good nn.
Gary- My grandpa's name so I think it sounds so weird on a little kid.
