Girls:

---

Willow Carlene - I'm guessing Carlene is honoring since it sounds so dated
Diamond Kole - diamond coal?
Khalessi Storm - if you like Game of Thrones, at least try to get the spelling right.
Harlow Reign - what's the appeal of Reign as a MN? It sounds tacky.
Kyler Moon - sounds more like a boy's name
HazelGrace LaDonna - if it was Hazel Grace Ladonna, it wouldn't be so bad, but what's with all the random capitalizations?
Ursula Rose - so glad to see Ursula, and in the first spot too!
Athena Rayne - this one's nice too.
Temperance Henrietta - Never been fond of Temperance because it makes me think of the temperance movement during the 1800s.
Emorea Razia-Quinn - sound like something wacky New Age types of people would name their kid
Axlie Judith - Axlie?
Xena Rose - wasn't Xena canceled years ago?
Piper Jae (Peyton and Pierson) - I don't like when parents give all their kids the same letter. It makes me think of the Duggars.
Murphie James - ugh
Cleo Marie - nice to see Cleo being used
Rayne Harper - yep, it's definitely raining Harpers and it's the reign of Harper considering the name's popularity for girls

---

Boys:

---

Trapper Douglas - Trapper?! These occupation names are getting out of hand.
Axton Edward - Axton?!
Abram Bennett - probably one of the few tolerable ones
Liam Leslie - nice to see Leslie used on a boy, even if it's in the middle spot
Asherton Lee - preppy
Avery Grey (Bryce [m], Keoni [f]) - okay, this sibset looks really mismatched
Gideon Edward - this one's not that bad, actually
Beckett Hawke - ditto
Maddox Riot - Riot?!
Canaan Knight - sounds like the name of a superhero
Axel Steele - sounds like the name of a porn star
Froylan Romeo - I'm guessing he's Hispanic - I looked up Froylan and most of the bearers seem to be Hispanic.
Romeo Ribelino - Ribelino sounds like a last name
Ledger Ripken - ugh
Addix Kade - ugh even more
Kreed Jaxxon - I've always hated double X's in names.

I love Ursula Rose.

I love / like:

---

Willow Carlene - Carlene is kind of "country bumpkin" to me, but I love Willow.
Ursula Rose - Ooooh, this is pretty! Then again, I've always had a soft spot for Ursula.
Xena Rose - Okay, this is totally GP, but great! I like that Rose calms down the craziness of Xena.
Wes Clark - I'm hoping Wes and Mac are nicknames.
Abram Bennett - This is nice and simple.
Gideon Edward - This is distinguished. Lotus drew the short straw in that sibset.

---

What the heck:

---

Diamond Kole - "Cameron is so uptight that if you stuck a piece of coal up his a$$, in two weeks you would have a diamond."
Luna Ray - What is it with calling girls "Ray"? Long before The Force Awakens came out, daughters have been named Ray / Rey / Rae, and I don't get it.
Ridgley Hannah - Ridgely is just awful.
Khalessi Storm - They didn't even spell Khaleesi correctly...
Kyler Moon - WTH is Kyler? Did they just stick an R at the end of Kyle? Or did they remove the S from Skyler?
HazelGrace LaDonna - Oh this girl is going to have fun in school...
Emorea Razia-Quinn - Is this a World of Warcraft character?
Aphelia - Took the charm right out of Ophelia.
Annistyn Rayne - I'm guessing Mom's a big Rachel Green fan?
Axlie Judith - WTH is Axlie?
Vayda Chyler Ann - Veda is the traditional spelling. Vada was used in My Girl. WTH is Vayda? Oh, and there's Kyler again...
Murphie James - This is a girl?
Trapper Douglas - Hunter is a name because it's also a surname. Who the heck is honestly naming their son Trapper???
Trice Elliott - I keep thinking Trice is a typo for Thrice...
Kayson Soren Lynx - Well, I like Soren. That's it.
Maddox Riot - Mad riot?
Easton Brantley-Kage - Cage is spelled with a C.
Canaan Knight - This seems like more of a book / video game title than someone's name.
Kaiden Artice - I misread that as "Kaiden Article," lmao!!! And I'm sure I won't be the last!
Axel Steele - Maybe he won't want to work in an auto-body shop when he grows up...?
Bentley Laine - No, you don't park your Bently in this lane, go to the other one.
Froylan Romeo - Was Froylan someone's surname? Because I'm sorry, but that's a very unattractive sound.
Ledger Ripken - Ledger is bad enough as a first name, but Ripken? "Rip kin?"
Addix Kade - Oh, this is just...
Kreed Jaxxon - ... I give up.
Leyota Anne - Leyota sounds like a cross between Latoya and Toyota.

I laughed out loud at Wilde Roy Clarke.

---

Ridgley, Hannah
Sutton, Laura
Murphie, James
Axton, Edward
Caven, George
Watson, Oliver
Welles, William
all sound like nice normal names if you add the comma. :p

Girls:

---

Willow Carlene -Carlene isn't my style, but this name is fine.
Diamond Kole -A geologist trying to name a child, but mostly failing.
Luna Ray -No, Solvieg Ray. Luna only has rays from the sun.
Kimber Jo -Because Kimberly Joanna was already taken and we hate finishing what we start.
Ridgley Hannah -And here I thought Ridgley was name only used in soap operas and harlequins.
Khalessi Storm -When you're not sure if your love for Game of Thrones or X-Men is stronger.
Harlow Reign "Horror Reign" came to mind immediately so...
Kyler Moon -Okay, but what's her name when she's not doing porn?
HazelGrace LaDonna -Hazel Grace would have been fine left alone, but for some reason we had to add this 50s bullsh*t to it?
Ursula Rose -I'm personally not a fan of Ursula, but I can't fault this name. Especially not in a sea of Khaleesis and Kylers.
Haddie Lorraine -Prefer Hattie and this looks like a nickname, but in relation to the rest of the list, I'm gonna let this one go.
Athena Rayne -Not my style, but you now what? Whatever.
Temperance Henrietta -I like Temperance, but Henrietta always makes me think of a big, fat hen.
Emorea Razia-Quinn -Someone's character in a fantasy roleplay game?
Winter-Rose Eloise -This is actually pretty cute. I'm feeling it.
Aspen Wynter -I'm gonna let this one go.
Aphelia -I'm either hearing "I feel ya," or something horrible like, "She's been diagnosed with aphelia." OMG, IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE OPHELIA? WHYYY??
Annistyn Rayne -I'm sometimes willing to let Rayne go if it's paired with something sensible, but...
Emerald Marie -This kid is gonna be just fine.
Axlie Judith -I can't even come up with anything smartass to say about Axlie. That's just ugly and stupid looking/sounding.
Sutton Laura -I prefer Sutton on a boy, but overall, this is good.
Xena Rose (Elena and Logan) -"Seen a rose."
Vayda Chyler Ann -Veda was taken? Chyler is Kyler's ugly cousin. If I were her, I'd fall back on Ann.
Piper Jae (Peyton and Pierson) -Peyton is nice. Pierson is manageable. But now Piper too? TOO MUCH.

Glad to see Athena, Temperance, Abram, and Gideon.

---

I like Wes as a nickname for Wesley, but not on its own.

---

Lee and William seem refreshingly ordinary.

---

Overall, horrible.

Awful!

---

Diamond Kole - yes, diamonds are indeed coal. But do you really have to give your child a name that's more or less a geology class?

---

Luna Ray - Luna is fine. But Luna Ray? Moon doesn't send out any rays.

---

Ridgley Hannah - "richly Hannah"?

---

Khalessi Storm - this is just so stupid. What's a khalessi storm? A storm of dragons? A storm of Calici virus?

---

Harlow Reign - looks like "horror reign" or "harlot reign".

---

HazelGrace LaDonna - Hazel and Grace are fine per se. Not together. And LaDonna is just ugly.

---

Ursula Rose - can't say I'm a fan of Ursula, but not bad.

---

Athena Rayne - I like Athena, but Athena Rayne sounds like "Athena reigns".

---

Temperance Henrietta - I would prefer Temperance to be the mn, but I like this.

---

Emorea Razia-Quinn - Emorea sounds like a disease. And Razia Quinn sounds like a rapper. Raz Ya Queen.

---

Winter-Rose Eloise - cute.

---

Aphelia - My God, what is this? An eye disease?

---

Emerald Marie - cute.

---

Sutton Laura - you sat on Laura?

---

Xena Rose - I've seen a rose as well.

---

Vayda Chyler Ann - Darth Vayda.

---

Piper Jae (Peyton and Pierson) - what a horrible trio.

---

Essie Grace - cute. But I would have named her Esther Grace and called her Essie.

---

Larkin Meadow - "lark in meadow".

---

Rowan Aoife Ophelia - would prefer Rowenna, but I like it anyway.

---

Trapper Douglas - TRAPPER?! That's soooo bad. Sarah Palin name.

---

Leeam Thomas - that's one of the worst re-spellings I've ever seen.

---

Wilde Roy Clarke - you really want your boy to become a cowboy, right?

---

Gideon Edward - not crazy about Gideon, but still good.

---

Maddox Riot - RIOT?! Who the heck names their son RIOT?!

---

Canaan Knight - Bible thumpers.

---

Harper Lee - HARPER LEE WAS FEMALE.

---

Axel Steele - an ax of steel?!

---

Bentley Laine - you're only allowed to drive on that lane if you have a Bentley?

---

Froylan Romeo - WTF is FROYLAN? Sounds like dog food. Freulein?

---

Addix Kade - addict on cocaine?

---

Kreed Jaxxon - Creed Jackson is bad enough.

Ursula Rose
Temperence Henrietta (!!)
Emerald Marie (love Emerald)
Cleo Marie
Larkin Meadow
Rowan Aoife Ophelia (!!)

---

appreciate:

---

Gideon Edward (i don't like Gideon but this combo is nice)
Harper Lee
Abram Bennett
Watson Oliver (gonna get SO many jokes though. well tbh i forget what that one Sherlock catch phrase involving Watson even is)
Riot as a mn- ok it sounds at first like just another violent word as a boys name for the sake of sounding tough. but maybe it's in recognition of all the important of history + the ones in recent years that have been slandered by so many people. though if that's not the case, and the parents are the ones to be disgusted by protests, that'd be. hilariously awful
Wes Clark- don't like Clark, but i like how short yet sharp this combo is
Avery Grey- sounds kind of like a character in a Fitzgerald book.

---

Wilde as a fn in honor of Oscar Wilde is very bold, though maybe get annoying to spell. "Wilde, like Oscar Wilde" may get some blank stares unfortunately lmao.

---

some cringe ones:

---

Trapper (why....especially since tr*p is a slur...but even besides...why. why do boys names need to sound like you're in Mad Max)
Addix - yknow what it sounds lke
Easton Brantley-Kage- the fn is okay but together it sounds like a law firm
Kaiden Artice- i. idk what this is
Caven- cave in

---

not gonna diss the kre8tiv spellings because even though it's not my thing, i don't have much new to say and i think people can be a bit too mean about it.

I like Ursula Rose, Sutton Laura, Cleo Marie, Watson Oliver, Gideon Edward, Beckett Hawke and the names Canaan & Welles. But some of these names are just so bad (Emorea! Axlie! Ridgley! Aphelia! Leeam! Trice! Caven! Addix! Kreed Jaxxon!), I am left completely speechless. Very interesting, indeed.

---

Thanks for providing these names.

Love: Athena

---

Like: Temperance (in its own quirky way)

---

Nope:

---

Kyler Moon
Axlie Judith
Sutton Laura
Murphie James
Leeam Thomas (This spelling makes my eyes twitch.)
Wilde Roy Clarke (Wilde -- talk about predictive programming; I do like the sound of it, though.)

---

Ace Emilio & Raiden Bernal (m/m) (brothers: De’Ante, Jayden, Josiah) -- a VERY eclectic sibset

They're all pretty bad. Axel Steele sounds porntastic. Harper Lee is lame. It would be lame for a girl too.
Tami Lee? Is it like Tammy, or like Tommy? Because Tommy Lee? Motley Crue? Please. Leota? that sounds like 1928, and not in a good or fashionable way.
