I'm in Derby :)

The classics are beginning to die around here it seems. My husband and I are determined to keep some of the old Celtic and traditional alive to combat all these uber-'special' names.

I like:

---

Jane (mn)
Ava Mae
Elise
Ann Elizabeth (prefer Anna Elizabeth)
Sarah

---

Nathan
Kyran Anthony (prefer Anthony Kieran)
Thomas
Riley (prefer Reilly)

I like Ava Mae, Freya, Ema, Kyran, Lucas, Riley and Max

Nevaya, Ayaven backwards, lol

---

EMA is 'Educational Maintenance Allowance' to me, which means getting paid to stay in school!

---

I like....

---

Marissa Jane
Ava (Robert)
Elizabeth (prefer Elisabeth)
Anthony (Neil, Liam Thomas)
Lucas (Marie)
Michael
Vincent Patrick (Max)

Blegh, Nevaya and Serai. And Kyran is pretty awful as well.

---

I like:
Marissa Jane
Ava
Freya
Elise
Ann spelled Anne as a FN
Elizabeth
Liam Thomas
Lucas
Nathan
Sarah
Elaine
Michael

Wow, what kre8iv ways of spelling Nevaeh and Kieran.

---

My least favorite of those is Nevaya. Is it really that hard to stick with the original? It looks tacky and overrated, and sounds like a perfect for a chav (IMO).

---

I love the name Kieran, but loathe the spelling Kyran. Once again, the parents try too hard to be original, and fail miserably.

---

I do, however, like:
Marissa Jane (Mark and Nicole), though I would like Marisa Jayne better.
Ava and Mae, but not together (Robert)
Freya (Darren)
Elise (Nathan and Katie)
Elizabeth (Steven and Sarah)
Anthony (Elaine, Liam Thomas)
Lucas (Marie)
Riley (Michael)
Vincent Patrick (Laura)

The girls names, apart from Nevaya which is horrible, are nothing to be appaled about, there's waaayyy worse around... Actually Marissa Jane and Ava Mae are nice enough and Freya is very pretty. I agree that Kyran and Riley are obscenely trendy and Wayne's pretty lame, but I like Lucas and I think Vincent Patrick is a good combo.

Marissa Jane (Mark and Nicole) - Marissa is nms, I don't like a lot of -issa names. If I had to, I might prefer something like Carissa or Arissa. Jane is nice, prefer Jayne. Like Mark, but Nicole is a little boring. Prefer Nicolette, etc.
Ava Mae (Robert and Lorna) - Not a fan of Ava, and I don't really like the fn and mn both being three letters. I dislike Robert and Lorna is nms.
Freya (Darren and Tamie) - Freya and Darren aren't my style. Tamie reminds me of Jamie with a T, I don't really like it.
Serai Elise (Nathan and Katie) - Don't like Serai, would prefer something like Sara or Suri... Elise I love. I despise Nathan (but I adore Nathaniel) and Katie is alright as a nn.
Ema (Robert and Tina) - I don't like the name Emma in general, and Ema looks a little incomplete! Robert, I dislike, Tina is nms.
Nevaya Ann Elizabeth (Steven and Sarah) - I don't like Nevaeh, and especially variant spellings, such as this with the Y! Ann Elizabeth is too plain, Anne Elisabeth might be a little better but still boring. Prefer Sara, and Steven is nms. I adore Stephen and like Stephan though.
