FAMILY 1:
Madeleine - I love
Madeleine! It is one of my favorites.
Shannon - I hate this on a boy or a girl. It's an ugly name in general.
Xanthe - I hate this as well.
Phoenix - super cool name. I'd like it as a MN.
Xascha - think I"m seeing a theme here with the "X" in each name. I really hate this. I don't like
Sascha either.
Hendrix - cool tribute to
Jimi I suppose. Would only tolerate it as a MN.
The funny thing is, I really like
Bennett and West, the two surnames, and would have rather seemed the boys with those names. :)
FAMILY 2:
Alex - I'm in the minority here, but I really dislike the name
Alex on a boy. I much prefer
Alexander as a MN or Alexis/Alexandra/Alexandria, etc. as a FN on a girl.
Melanie - it's alright. I'd never use it though. Seems pretty dated. I much prefer the Greek name
Melaina.
Luke Anthony - I love
Luke, especially as a NN for
Lucas or
Luca. I hate
AnthonyLily - love it
FAMILY 3:
Jules - eh. I like
Julian. Even
Julius. I just prefer the Jul- names (
Juliette,
Julia,
Juliana) on girls.
Anne - it's alright. I much prefer
AnnaIndigo Ellen - don't really care for
Indigo. For color names, I prefer
Sienna,
Violet, or even
Jade.
Ellen is okay, although I would
LOVE Eleanor,
Elena, or
Helena.
Billie Elizabeth - ugh. I hate
Billie, on either gender. Why not
Belle or
Bella? Just sounds like Hillbilly. I love
Elizabeth.
FAMILY 4:
Sami - I used to hate the name
Samantha, but now I like it. Still hate the NN
Sami though. Reminds me of Smelly
Sammy.
Sam - there is absolutely nothing wrong with the name
Samuel /
Sam on a boy. I don't cringe when I hear it, however I have never been a fan.
Nixon
Sam - of all the presidents/surnames to name your son after. I don't like the connotation, and wish they "nixed" the name. Stupid pun for a stupid name. MN
Sam is a nice honor to both parents so I like that.
Avalon - love it!
FAMILY 5:
Albert - NMSAA
Mtia - ?? I have no idea how to pronounce this. Is it a typo? Is it supposed to be
Tia,
Mia, or
Maia? Hate
Tia,
Mia is alright, and I like
Maia. If it is actually Mtia, then I really can't stand it.
Brida-Lee - I don't really get this name. Don't like it at all.
FAMILY 6:
Leila - really pretty
David - like
Samuel, it's a fine, classic name, but never really liked it much.
Edmund "
Ted" - NMSAA
Man, I feel like a Negative
Nancy! I really disliked most of these names. But, I really do love
Madeleine,
Luke,
Lily,
Avalon,
Elizabeth,
Leila, and
Phoenix. :)
