Thoughts: Edna May - that's not a name you hear on little ones often! I can't say I'm sorry it's not more popular, I'm not sure Edna is quite ready for the
Khaleesi Lynneah - These are the people who would have named their kids Queenie 20 years ago. Title names are dumb to begin with, but imaginary title names are just freaking stupid. I like:
James Daniel
Edward John IV - I dislike Juniors, and a fourth is even worse but at least it's a nice name.
Roman Angelo

Ok, I like Marlowe. The combo's cool too.
I don't mind Khaleesi getting normalized as a name. The combo's dumb, though. Did they want Linnea to look more like Nevaeh?
Cadence is one of my favorite neo-normal names.Not bouncing up and down about the boys. Darius is cool to see, but I don't understand Juandy at all. Roman Angelo is nice and romantic. The rest of them are just fifty shades of gray, which in me-speak means "fifty shades of boring." The phrase got stuck in my head and now I can't seem to get it through to my subconscious that it doesn't mean what it seems to beg to mean. Oh well.

Edna May and Clarinda Maureen are such delightful surprises!

My ThoughtsEdna - I know older sounding names are coming back, but this is the first Edna I've seen.
Marlowe - I don't really like this spelling, but I'm surprised how much I like the name.
Lanessa - This is new to me - it reminds me of Larissa, which I like ok.
Mya Jude - I like the use of Jude as a girl's mn.
Clarinda - another new one to me. It sounds like a mash up of Clarissa and Linda, neither of which I really like.
Tegan - This really surprised me on a boy. I like it for a girl and I guess it could work for a boy too.
Leland - Another older sounding that might be making a comeback...? I know there is also a band with this name so maybe that influenced it.
