This is my daughter, Joanna.
You think: Nice, a bit plain and old-fashioned, but not too dated.
This is my daughter, Nora.
You think: Sweet, simple, pretty.
This is my daughter, Lena.
You think: OK, seems more like a nickname to me, and maybe a bit babyish for when she gets older.
This is my daughter, Amelia.
You think: Love it! (Only downsides are Amelia Bedelia & the fact that lots of people may choose it as an alternative to Emma/Emily)
This is my daughter, Gemma.
You think: pretty, but not my style
This is my daughter, Genevieve.
You think: Love it, but has a mildly bad association for me personally
Boys
This is my son, Jacob.
You think: Love it! Unfortunately so does everyone else. Way too popular now
This is my son, Benjamin.
You think: Likable, but very common. (I would have been Benjamin if I'd been a boy.) I really hate some of the nicknames (Benji, Benny, GACK!)
This is my son, Jasper.
You think: Very unusual, not quite sure about it, but it could grow on me.
This is my son, Joel.
You think: Love it!
This is my son, Jesse.
You think: I like it, but I can't help but think of Jesse James. I also prefer Jessie for a girl.
This is my son, Baron.
You think: No, no, please no. Sasha Baron Cohen makes this a very loaded choice. I also dislike "title" names, like Baron, Earl, Kingston, Royal, Princess, etc.
This is my son, Cullen.
You think: Good name, nice balance between unusual & normal, also fits with the Irish/Scottish surnames trend but not nearly as over-used as other possibilities.
This is my son, Collin.
You think: OK, I prefer it with one "L" and I like Cullen better.
This is my son, Ezra.
You think: Not sure...a bit odd but interesting...I'd certainly prefer it to some of the other popular biblical names right now like Eli and Levi
This is my son, Elias.
You think: Don't really like it. Sorry.

This is my daughter, Joanna.
You say: That's cute, it's nice to see.
You think: I just hope she doesn't get nicknamed 'Jo'.
This is my daughter, Nora.
You say: How sweet - I love it!
You think: Just what I said - Nora's really grown on me lately.
This is my daughter, Lena.
You say: What a great name!
You think: I really like it.
This is my daughter, Amelia.
You say: What a lovely, classy name.
You think: I just hope it doesn't start to get trendy, since it is starting to get popular.
This is my daughter, Gemma.
You say: How pretty!
You think: Just what I said - it's very pretty.
This is my daughter, Genevieve.
You say: What a gorgeous name!
You think: Seriously, Genevieve is awesome. Nicknames are iffy, and I'm not so keen on it if she goes by 'Gen,' but 'Eve' or 'Evie' would be nice, and the full name is, again, awesome.
Boys
This is my son, Jacob.
You say: You can't go wrong with Jacob.
You think: Which is probably why everyone is using it...
This is my son, Benjamin.
You say: Classic! And deservedly so, it's very nice.
You think: Too common, but it is very nice.
This is my son, Jasper.
You say: What a great name - I love it!
You think: Yay!
This is my son, Joel.
You say: I like it.
You think: It's not my style, but I wouldn't mind seeing it on someone else's kid.
This is my son, Jesse.
You say: That's a nice name.
You think: Uncle Jesse, because I'm a product of the '90s.
This is my son, Baron.
You say: How regal - well, it's definitely a strong name!
You think: A bit too regal - give your son a name, not a title.
This is my son, Cullen.
You say: That's interesting - where did you get it from?
You think: Twilight fan?
This is my son, Collin.
You say: Aw, that's a nice name!
You think: Not much one way or the other, though it's leagues better than Jayden and names of that ilk, so I'm glad to see it.
This is my son, Ezra.
You say: What a fun name to say - it sounds so cool!
You think: Too bad some people won't recognize the name and will assume he's a girl based on the phonetics. (It totally does sound cool, though.)
This is my son, Elias.
You say: Oh, that used to be one of my favorites!
You think: And I still think it's nice, as long as he doesn't go by 'Eli'.
This is my daughter, Joanna.
You say: That's cute, it's nice to see.
You think: I just hope she doesn't get nicknamed 'Jo'.
