1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike? I like that many of your boys names are strong, biblical names. Also, I like that many of your girls names are timeless. The only name I dislike is Leila probably because of the Eric Clapton song.2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe? I love your naming style so basically see the above comments.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal? Probably, Gabriel Adam and Marina Charlotte.4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make? Not really anything. Probably just Leila or Adriana (I dislike someone with this name).5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason? I suppose Jacob and Sofia.6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...) Biblical, Timeless, and Lacy and Lissome (very feminine names)7. What name advice yould you give me? None because I love your style.Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. - Anne Frank
Great Spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
like: attractive classics, nice combinations
dislike: too much Latinization = too flowery / lacy for my taste2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?
I'm not into Biblical boy names so much as all that. A few of them seem archaic to me - and on real guys, overbearing (Jonah, Lucas, Elijah in particular)3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?
Marina Charlotte and Gabriel Adam, maybe Asher Benjamin for great sound4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?
De-latinize the girls and de-biblicize the boys, a bit? They're a tad severe as a group. 5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?
Sofia, Charlotte, Matilda, Grace, Natalia, Annelise6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)
Classic with religious influence, highly conservative, mainstream and good taste7. What name advice would you give me?
You've heard it, about Adriana (the prn - not really that big a deal). Move Aidan River and Kylia Oceana onto your regular lists, what's stopping you? :-)8. Any other comments?
JMOs ~ I dislike Annelise, it sounds sorta squicky. Anna's better. Noah Daniel's a good combination too.- mirfak

Thanks!I do have a weakness for frilly names. There are very few I dislike.I didn't pick the Biblical ones on purpose, actually, and was surprised to see people commenting on it. Hmm.Aidan River is as close to guilty pleasure as I can get. I'm REALLY conservative with boys. Kylia Oceana will stay very firmly on the GP list, but thanks.I LOVE Anna too.

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
I like that there are a lot of "solid" and Biblical boys' names, and pretty, feminine (and mostly non-trendy) girls' names. I dislike that many of them are so popular or gaining in popularity. But I can relate--I like many of these names and it makes me sick that they are so common. :( Also, some of the girls' names are a bit too frilly for me. 2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe? - I love the less common, but "classic" names like Naomi, Simone, Matilda, Leila, Oliver and Jonah. I don't know about loathe but I really don't care for your GP names at all. 3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal? - Olivia Naomi and Jonah Gabriel

4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make? - I've decided I don't really like this question. :b Unless someone is making up names or being kre8tiv, it's all good, imo. lol 5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason? - Sofia, Gabrielle, Grace, James, Lucas, Nicholas, Jonathan, JACOB, Daniel, William 6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...) - Popular and classic 7. What name advice yould you give me? - see above

8. Any other comments? - Have a nice day :)

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
I like the fact that your names are good names. Really, while it's not my style personally, I cannot think of one arguement why Nicholas is a bad name. I don't like that some of these names are very "in" currently.2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?
I dislike Anna a lot, sorry.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?

If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?That's hard, I love more then two. I guess I'd pick Sofia Gabrielle, Natalia Simone, Nicholas Oliver and Nathaniel James.4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?There isn't anything I'd change.5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?Maybe Aidan.6.

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
That all names are well-balanced, and will grow with a child very well through life.2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?
LOVE all of your girl names (save Kylia & Katherine), Loathe Samuel, it just never appealed to me.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?
Probably Olivia Naomi & Lucas Benjamin4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?
Nothing that I can think of.5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?
Aidan & Noah. Ive always hated Aidan, and Noah seems tired to me.6. 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 like the fact that no matter what you name your children, they'll have solid names to rely on in life. I dislike the fact that a lot of these come off as whiny and pwetty-pwetty-pwincess.2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?I absolutely love Matilda, especially with the nn Tilly. It's my cousin's name, and the title character in one of my favourite books. :) I really hate William and Anna. They make me want to kick puppies.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?I'd hijack Marina Charlotte (which brings me immediately back to Armageddon Summer--if you haven't read it, I suggest you pick it up :) and Nathaniel James. But I'd call him Nat, which you wouldn't like. :D4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?I would make you look into names that aren't so popular. These are tried-and-true names, but you're young, with many years ahead to fall in line. 5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?Sofia, Gabrielle, Anna, Olivia, Anneliese, Grace, Natalia, Nicholas, Samuel, Jacob, William.6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)Classic with the occasional unusual influence, mainly from the Hebrew and Spanish languages.

Thanks, that was helpful!I've been trying to branch out. Naomi and Matilda are some names that I had put my fingers to the keyboard to say that I hated them...but realized that I actually liked them a lot. I've been trying really hard to do that more.Thanks again!
