Whoa, horrible response to Avery Piper! It's just a GP, though, so don't worry! :)Cora Felicity
Margot Aurelia
Adelle Sofia
Ava Camille (I'm not sure about this one, but I like it.)
Guilty Pleasure: Avery PiperHenry Miles
Simon Alexander
Gideon Vincent
Elliot James
Guilty Pleasure: Clark Spencer - I just did ten combos total because I have a hard time coming up with combos. My faves list is in my profile if you need more, but I think these are enough to answer the Q's. :) -1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)7. What name advice yould you give me?8. Any other comments?

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
like: memorable and timely names not too far out of mainstream. Great combinations, no weak sounds at all, lots of strong long vowels
dislike: couple trendier picks, no big deal2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?
no, nothing too striking except with respect to particular names3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?
Margot Aurelia and Elliot James. Clark too, but not with Spencer4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?
Well, none really - I guess maybe make less popular choices, but that'd be just me. I don't disapprove of the popular ones so much.5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?
Sofia, FELICITY, Avery, Miles6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)
moderately fashionable classics, WUMC, conservative but having a great sense of style. Tending to pick "strong" sounds.7. What name advice yould you give me?
Careful to avoid the bland (nothing too bland here but maybe a tendency). 8. Any other comments?
Margot A. and Adelle S. are great! I hate Felicity. Cora Felicia? ;-)- mirfak

Ah, that makes sense. Sorry! I understand, and yes, according to the trendy NYC babyname site posted today, that would describe a lot of my choices. It happens, though. lol

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
They're all very solid, with a nice level of off-beatness.2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?
--3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?

not answering, its not by bussiness to change your naming style5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?
Elliott, though I still like it6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
I love your naming style, period!2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?
Love? Probably everything. Your names are uncommon and timeless, and they all look great today. Except for Avery Piper, which I really dislike.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?
Cora Felicity and Henry Miles4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?
Drop Avery Piper! 5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?
James as a middle name. It's my dad's name though so I'll probably use it too. It just seems so filler.6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)
Classic and timeless.7. What name advice yould you give me?
You may like: Finnian, Felix, Milo, Naomi, Cecily, Frances and Nora8. Any other comments? Nope!

Felix, Miles, Celia, Francesca and Nora are on my list. lol Great suggestions. Thanks.I love James, but it's too common as a FN to me, so I made it a MN but I guess it does seem filler.

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike? I like that all of your combos are very classic, but not often heard. However, some of them (Ava in particular) seem to be gaining popularity.2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe? Pretty much the same as above. The only thing here that I really dislike is the combo Avery Piper.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal? I would take Cora Felicity and Simon Alexander, which are both gorgeous. 4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make? I might take out some of names gaining popularity, first. Then I would probably tweak the middle names as well, and replace James and Sofia, which it seems that I hear all of the time in the middle name spot.5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason? Ava, Sofia, Elliot, and Camille are all names that I've heard a little too often either on people that I know or on the boards. 6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...) Classic and sensible.7. What name advice would you give me? As I said above, your names seem very "sensible". That's good, but I think you could afford to go out on a limb with some even more unusual names, even if it's just in the middle name spot.8. Any other comments? Great combos! :-)

Thanks. I hate that they're gaining in popularity. That ruined Olivia for me, which is a past favorite. Ava went that route, but I brought it back to see what people would think.

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike? / 2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe? - I love old-fashioned names and classics that are underused. Unfortunately, like me, you love names that seem to be gaining in popularity lately. :( Otherwise, I really like your naming style (we have very similar taste!) and the only one I dislike is your girl's guilty pleasure. LOL. I do love Avery for a boy, though. :b 3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal? - Cora Felicity and Henry Miles (but I actually adore all your boy combos, but I love both of these names, especially). 4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make? - Like me, we need to find some more names that are not currently rising in popularity. 5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason? - Ava has gotten so popular I've taken it off my favorites list, unfortunately (but I love Camille, and it does make a wonderful combo :b).6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...) "Underused classics" maybe? 7. What name advice yould you give me? - see above 8. Any other comments? - Keep up the good work :)

Lol. I know what you mean. Ava Camille I stole from a CAF that someone did, and I love it, but as I said I'm not sure. With EVERYTHING else gaining in popularity, as you noted, it kind of ruins it, though. Here's hoping that people catch a new trend. :)
