Re: Make Me Love or Hate These Names
Benaiah sounds like Benjamin but if you wanted it to sound even more christian. Also not a fan of the triple vowels. I really hate this name, but also I dislike B names in general so I'm biased.
Devin's a weird one. It's the kind of name I'd use for a character that's supposed to be kind of annoying. I don't hate it but not my preferred kind of name.
Emmett feels almost comically childish. I couldn't imagine an adult with this name. Also I'm pretty sure it's the name of the main character from the Lego Movie? Either way, I'd go for Elliott instead.
Tyson is fine. Reminds me of Mike Tyson. Whether or not that association is a good or bad thing is up to you. Generally I'd prefer Taylor.
Annalise I like... Kind of. I'm not a fan of "Anna" names, but this one isn't too bad. If somebody is dead set on Anna this is probably the best option.
Claribel reminds me of Clarinet. I'd probably like the name if it didn't have that association.
Elysia is very whimsical. Like something I'd name a fairy princess. Not that that's a bad thing, I just couldn't imagine an actual human with that name.
Nairobi sounds like "Nair". I really like the meaning though. Pretty unfortunate.

Ahhh, I'm not Christian so Benaiah is definitely off my list, LOL.
