Whoa, that is one long list. :)
Question: Are Courdan Grace and Dallyn Vaughn boys or girls? The names are on both lists and I can't tell. Oh yeah, and Ansleigh Tyrone too - it's on the girls list, but I can't imagine someone using Tyrone on a girl!
How am I supposed to pronounce Deannbre and Lyici?
Calyssa Starlyn is very much a fanfic character name.
Brighten Elizabeth made me laugh. Either Elizabeth is having a bad day, or she's on stage and needs more light.
I'm 99.9% sure Chailey is pronounced Kaylee, and not CHAY-lee or SHAY-lee.
Jazzabella is hilarious. Come on, people. Jasmine Isabella? Arabella? Would those have been so bad?
Onle Kamryn? I'm sure she's not the only Kamryn.
Does anyone have info on Sumaarii? It looks like it could be Finnish, but I have no idea.
Summerlyn is tacky. Summer is fine all by itself.
Two cities in my state are on the boys' list: Barrington and Cranston.
Jrue Allan - Why are people spelling D names with J's lately? It's ugly and confusing.
Wait... Mixon? Not Nixon?
I really, really hate names like Ryatt Buster. "Look how ruff 'n' tuff my little ball of testosterone is!"
I don't have nearly as much to say about the boys' names. It seems like the formula for naming a boy in 2011 is (Surname)(Classic or Stupidly Trendy Name) or vice versa. I'm really just sick and tired of surnames all around, really.
The made-up names are starting to get ridiculous. Aybrie. Maebri. Mynley. Wylynn. Zaelyn? Shaden? Brenzen? BRISTEN?!
I suppose I'll try to find it in my black, black heart to like some of these names:
Sage (but for a boy)
Beverly
Katerina (prefer Katarina)
Margo Trinity
Odessa
Rose Arlene
Rosealia Antonia (prefer Rosalia)
Zoey (prefer Zoe) and Arden (but not together)
Desmond
Gabriel Aurelius
Graham
Charles
Maximus
Roman
Seneca (for a girl - GP)

No problem :) Yikes... I figured Courdan Grace was a girl because of the MN, but there is nothing at all feminine about Vaughn. I don't suspect anyone knows how to pronounce Lyici and Deannbre, good luck to their teachers when they get to school. In my head I'm saying lye-EE-chee (kind of faux-Italian there) and dee-ANN-bree (like a smush of Deanne or Deanna and something that starts with "Bre.")
I don't speak Finnish either, but I know that multiple double vowels are normal in their names and words. Of course, Americans currently like to name their kids with random double I's (Khloii, Zoii, Rylii, etc.) so it's hard to tell. I wouldn't be surprised if someone did name their kid Summary. "It has "Summer" in it!"
