Re: Opinions?

  • I really like your boy list.  I love Glenn and August feels really strong (like, he'd be a deep rooted individual -- old soul, if you will).  Crazy, I know.  I like both of them, but they wouldn't pair well as a FN\MN combo.

    Hazel is fine, it's just NMS. 
    I like Sylvia.  Very pretty.
    Isla is cute.  It seems pretty popular, but it's not one that I'm tired of yet.
    Lilah is fine.  I just don't see it aging well for some reason.  Weird, considering it sounds the same as Isla, but with an L.
    I don't like Annabelle at all.  I don't like it aesthetically, and I don't like the sound of it either.

    Ayla...  I can't comment on.  I'm not familiar enough with it to even form an opinion.

  • I love August! It's such a beautiful, strong name. I think the nn Gus is adorable. I'm not too big a fan of Glenn. It's a nice name, but doesn't compare to August. - from your girl name list my favourites are Hazel and Sylvia. I think that both are beautiful names, commin enough for everyone to know them, but uncommon enough not to be trendy. Lilah is a pretty name, I just don't really care for it. Annabelle is okay, but quite fru-fru/frilly. Isla is great, but a bit more popular than Hazel and Sylvia. How will you pronounce Ayla? I'm not very much into A-la and if you're going for eye-la I'd stick with the Isla spelling.

  • DD is Annabel, and I prefer it spelled this way. It is my favorite from your girl list but of course I am super biased. Nothing wrong with the boys, but neither are my style. If I had to choose, I would go August. Glenn is just not a good name for me in any way shape or form.

  • Love August with NN Gus.

    Sylvia and Annabelle are my favs from your list.

  • I think Ayla and Isla are so soft and pretty. Hazel is my least favorite. August is a great name. Glen is nms.

  • Thanks ladies. I pronounce Ayla like A-la. Hazel, Annabelle, Glenn, and August are family names but I didn't want to bias opinions. I just love to see so many different perspectives! I love Walking Dead Glen but forgot all about Family Guy Glen. Yuck!
