some random lady's list of baby names she wound up not using

Lucky Delaney. Literally anything on that list besides Aussie would have been better than Markie.
The only names that I love are Serena, Daisy, Farrah, Pollyanna, and Annabelle. I do also think that Kendall and Dakota are quite decent, and I enjoy the sound of Ellery (despite literally rhyming with the word "celery"). The others, I'm not a fan of...I'd like McKenna if it were Makenna instead. I find Sunday, Aussie, Summerlin, Laken, and Parker as not so nice, to put it kindly.
I think I like Kit best as a younger sis of Delaney. Although in general I like Kit as a guy name more.
Runners up would be Ellery (nms) and Annabel (but not spelled Annabelle).
These people's personal taste doesn't really have any overlap at all with my personal taste.
Also I feel like Markie should have been the first daughter's name. It'd work out better, I think, for a firstborn to be named after a parent, than a second-born.

I'm not a big fan of Juniors. I like a lot of the other names better than M@rkie. Delaney and Daisy, or Delaney and Kendall might be better.
In real life, Delaney is all ln to me, and the ln of an unpleasant acquaintance at that, and Markie is awful. Jean and Mae are fine, though I'd prefer May.
On her Possibilities list, I like Polly and could be OK with Polly-Anne. Pollyanna is a one-owner name. Serena is just OK. Daisy is delightful; Kit is fine as a nn. I like Annabel, but not over-ornate Annabelle (which is also a false etymology! Shudder!). The rest, from Sunday to Aussie, make me happy that she didn't use them.

Summerlin is a surname in my family tree.
Delaney Jean is not bad. I don't like Markie; from the list, for a sibling of Delaney, I'd swap it with Farrah or Kendall.
None of the names on the list are names I'd consider using except maybe Daisy as a MN. As a group, they seem precious and boring/trendy. Annabelle, Serena, Pollyanna are the ones I'd most like to see someone else use. Parker, McKenna, Aussie are the ones I'd least enjoy seeing used.
