in reply to a message by elevator
GIRLS
Taylor - This name is growing on me. It's a little trendy, but it has a nice sound to it, for a boy or a girl.
Cassandra - Love this name! Especially with nn Cassie.
Leigh - Too plain.
Sarah - Simple but cute. Prefer Sara, the H seems unnecessary.
Rebecca (Becca) - Prefer Rebekah, but still an awesome name. Becca / Bekah is nice to hear over Becky once in a while.
Brittany - Dislike this name in general, but I prefer Britney.
Nicole - Cute but common. I love the nn Nikki.
Colleen - I'm a little tired of this name.
Charleen (Charlie) - Don't like either name, and Charlie doesn't seem feminine enough for me.
Kathleen (Katie) - I like the nn Katie, but I do not like the name Kathleen. I'd prefer Catherine or something.
Shayla - Dislike. Sounds like Sheila with an accent. Prefer Shayne or Shay.
BOYS
Madison - Kind of cool to see it on a boy for once. Still seems trendy though.
Brendan - Love it!
Matthew (Matt) - Love the name and the nn, but I like Mathew with one T a little more.
