GIRLS:
Staci - dislike the spelling; Stacey and Stacy are cute and haven't been used in a while
Bunnie - ridiculous
Diana - love this name! I think of Diana in "Anne of Green Gables"
Nicole - I've always hated this name, but I haven't seen it as a first name on little girls in a while, so I'm starting to lose my aversion against it. Really dislike it as a middle name, though.
Kathleen - like it, very nice. Especially with nickname Katie/Kate instead of Kathy
Amanda - love it, despite its popularity. I don't think it's dated
Nora - very nice!
Paris - no
Terry - no. I prefer Theresa or Tessa.
Carolyn - nice, but I prefer Caroline.
Virginia - nice. To prevent virgin jokes, nickname Ginny is nice and very Harry Potter, which kids'll love
Barbara - haven't heard this on a baby girl in a long time. Still sounds a bit dated to me, but is ripe for a comeback in about 5 to 10 years. Barbie was a cute nickname before the doll, now it's out of the question. Sigh ...
BOYS:
Hap - no
Charles - great. Love nickname Charlie
Oleg - cool
Kevin - okay. I always think of "Home Alone"
Jimmy - prefer James on its own or nicknamed Jamie
Conrad - very nice
Joe - love it, even on its own. Personally, I'd use it as a nickname for Joseph.
Staci - dislike the spelling; Stacey and Stacy are cute and haven't been used in a while
Bunnie - ridiculous
