Ben, Kate - good, production-line names
Zachary, Emily - love Emily; pity it rhymes with clumsy Zachary
Regan, Grant - mildly surprising, not bad
Kirstyn, Merit, Matthew - Kirstyn is awful - sticking a -y- into a name doesn't make it dainty and feminine! Merit is a lot to live up to, and I've always found Matthew bland and dull
Simone, Dior - Simone is better than Simon; Dior had better not grow up not minding what s/he looks like
Levi, Nate, Shoshana - Levi and Shoshana go well together; Nate should have been Nathaniel
Hannah, Brian - love Brian, fall asleep in the presence of Hannah
Grant, Everett, Rosalie - almost a sentence: Grant Everett Rosalie but deny him Annabel
Dag, Freya - I like Nordic names; Dag could have pronunciation problems
Ellery, Declan, Hadley, Gareth - three production-line trendoids, and suddenly up comes beautiful Gareth. Lucky!
Aiden, Mackenzie - unremarkable
Scarlet, Jaysten, Cade - I find them all unfortunate
Lucas, Colin, Charlotte - good set of standards; I only like Colin, but that's just me
Ellie, Margot - dislike Ellie; dislike nns as fns. Prefer Margaret to Margot
Madeline, Naomi - Madeline is good, Naomi is clunky and clumsy
David, Karon, Sharon - he's lucky not to be Davod. I love David and Karen, but not Sharon at all.
Jeremy, Gianna, Jace, Cora - Jeremy is fine, Gianna has pronunciation issues, Jace will be mistaken for Jason, and Cora squawks like a crow
Andrew, Evan - nothing wrong with them but they fail to excite
Blake, Colin, Declan, Sloane, Turner, Hadley - the only one I enjoy is Colin
