June
Hadley: I like June a lot but Hadley is just blah. This is definitely better than Hadley June.

Hollis
Maeve: I can't stand either name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

Sophia
Blair: Sophia is attractive but has lost a lot of its glamor due to overuse. Blair is ugly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maren
Grace: I like Grace, though it's pretty overused for a mn. Maren is one of those names that doesn't seem to know what it's trying to do. I'd even rather see plain old Mary Grace, or better yet, Maria or Marina Grace.

Thea
Noelle: Love Noelle but Thea is unattractive to me for its sound and its chopped-off feel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

Chloe
Gray: Chloe is obnoxious and Gray isn't much of a name to me. Chloe Gray just sounds like a paint color.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

Samantha
Jean: I actually know a Samantha Jean. It's cute, though very undistinguished.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boys

Cassian
August: Sounds like a teenage fanfic junkie's idea of a hottie name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

Jason
Andreas: I like Jason. Andreas is okay but I'd prefer Andrew or Andre.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

Kit
Maxwell: Kit is sickly-cutesy for a boy. Even on a girl it's too precious.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

Dustin
Hollis: I think Dustin is a sexy name. Not crazy about Hollis but at least it's in the middle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

Rudy
James: Love James, first or middle. Rudy sounds like a 1950s ducktail-wearing, switchblade-carrying thug. Or a big, goofy dog.

Benjamin
Knox: Benjamin Knox Overthelamp? Can't stand Knox. Benjamin is great.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
