Names from the paper
Now over the Montana Cheyenne business, I had a look at the births in today's paper to "see what I could see".
Okay then we have....
GIRL- RUBY ASTA-I like this, I've always loved the name Ruby and Asta is interesting.
BOY-MITCHELL RYAN-Not keen on either but its a biased opinion for both the Mitchell and the Ryan I know were both idiots!
GIRL- TAHLIA JEAN- Love Tahlia! Jean's a little boring but it flows nicely with Tahlia.
GIRL TWINS- AIMEE BRIANNA-Prefer Amy. Used to like Brianna, until it got too popular where I live!
and KATIE JOANNE-Katie is too cutesy for me. Joanne is okay but I much prefer Johanna (Johanna is also the name of one of my closest friends).
BOY -JASPER FLYNN-Jasper's a bit icky to me but I love Flynn!
BOY-ROAN PATRICK-LOVE BOTH!! I like Irish boy's names.
GIRL-RUBI ANNE-No! Ruby can never be Rubi! That's just awful! Anne is boring.
GIRL-ASHLEIGH ROSE-Ashleigh! Eeewww! This spelling is especially awful there are so many little kindy kids called Ashleigh! Boys and girls! Rose is SO boring.
GIRL-EMILY SARAH-Both nice but (especially Sarah) too popular!
GIRL-LAURA-No matter how already popular this name is I will always love it! My friend's name!
GIRL-TARA LILY-Nice but unfortunately my image of Taras is a little tainted by a not-so-nice person I know. Lily is a pretty name.
GIRL-HARMONY ROSE-Harmony okay for a musical person other than that, trashy! Rose=yaaawwwn
GIRL-MADDISON ROSE-NO NO NO NO!!! ARRRGHHH Rose again!
GIRL-SAGE LILLIAN-Both names are beautiful.
GIRL-SHAELYN THERESA-Shaely-not fond of it Shae on its own is better. I Love Theresa! I think Theresa Shae would have been a better idea it sounds better.
GIRL-HOLLY JOY-Yuck and yuck.
BOY (i think!)-BAILEY ETHAN-Bailey is too feminine, Ethan is ok.
BOY-ZANE DARBY-Zane is cool. Its okay until dopey Darby comes and spoils it.
BOY-SIMON PATRICK BURTON LESLIE-Simon Patrick is enough! Burton and Leslie are NMS.
BOY-LIAM MELCHIOR-Love it, especially Liam.
GIRL-ELIZABETH GRACE-It flows nice and I like Elizabeth but Grace is just too common as a middle name.
GIRL-KATISHA AMANDA-Katisha is interesting but also a bit trashy. Amanda is a very pretty name but also a bit plain.
BOY-JACK EDWARD-Boring boring boring. Edward makes me think of senile old men.
BOY-LEO ROGER-Leo is a great name but Roger spoils it.
BOY-CHARLIE JOHN-Yawwwn!
GIRL-HANNAH DIANE-NO NO NO! Hannah WAS a great name, but now EVERYONE seems to use it where I live! Diane is trashy and bland.
GIRL-KIRA TEALE-Kira is nice but I think of it as a trashy name. Teal is better than Teale.
BOY-WILL ANTON-I like William, Anton is one of my favorite boy's names!
BOY- THOMAS GLENN-Both are ok yet a little boring.
GIRL-KIARA ROSE-Rose again! Kiara is trash.
GIRL-ELLA MIRANDA-Both names are beautiful, especially Ella.
BOY-JAKOB ANTHONY-That's not how you spell Jacob! Anthony is so-so.
GIRL TWINS- HAYLEY-No! Eeeewww.
and ALYSSA-Too cutesy and popular! At least the two names go well together.
GIRL-KATELYN ROSE (KATIE)-ROSE AGAIN ARRRGHH! Katelyn? I though it was Caitlin! Besides Katelyn looks contrived and trashy. Katie is too cutesy.
GIRL-TALIA MARY-Talia is nice but Mary is bland. Good flow though.
GIRL-MIKAYLAH ROSE-ROSE NO NO NO NO! boooorring. And what on Earth is Mikaylah? Some people can't spell, its Michaela!
Phewww! Out of those my favorites are boys-Liam Melchior
Roan Patrick
Will Anton
And Girls- Tara Lily
Sage Lillian
Ella Miranda
I also like Tahlia, Talia, Elizabeth, Theresa, Laura
Simon, Leo, Flynn, Zane and Ethan.

Im glad you like my name! Its pronounced (TAHLEE-ah) :-) xoxox tahlia
my name happens to be harmony rose. people always compliment me on my name, and no one has ever said it's trashy. i'm not a musician either. harmony means so much more than music. you are an awfully mean spirited person to be going over all these people's names and talking bad about them. who cares anyway. you must have a lot of time on your hands to be so worried about other people's names.

I kinda like Mitchell Ryan. Mitchell's one of the nicest boys I know, and I liked the siblings: Ryan and (girl!) Jordan. The Mikayla and McKenzie I know are too sweet for me to dislike the spelling.

For some reason, Simon has never caught on in the US as a boy's name, altho it's certainly had a run in the UK. Maybe it's becuz of the "Simple Simon" connection from the nursery rhyme. But it still seems strange becuz it's a far better name than some of the ones being used.
These are the ones I particularly like:
RUBY ASTA
JASPER FLYNN
SIMON PATRICK BURTON LESLIE
ELIZABETH GRACE
JACK EDWARD
LEO ROGER
THOMAS GLENN
RUBY ASTA

Wow, with a name like yours, I'm surprised you gave such critical remarks on all those names!
Katisha Amanda just blows my socks off! Amanda is pretty production-line stuff, but Katisha! Not only does it sound like a sneeze, it's the name of the contralto in The Mikado - typical G & S older woman, fierce and furious, desperate to marry the hero but ends up with a totally wimpish person she will dominate for ever through a wonderful turn of the plot. Oh well, the same opera contains a (soprano, natch) heroine called Yum-Yum, so it could have been worse... but I'll be whistling happily all day, so I do thank you!
In fact, your list was really interesting. Not much birth-noticing happens where I live now - maybe one or two a day in the biggest daily paper, and they tend to be Jewish parents with systems of their own - also heavy US influence, actually, with the occasional Dorit or Ilan. Just one of the things South Africans mostly don't do.
