Actually Calix is growing on me.

Names for what?? I refuse to believe these are actual names or children.

Don't they just base that off of the most searched names on their site?

I can see why Django's been heavily searched. Everyone (especially the hipster name crowd at Nameberry) is all psyched over the new Tarantino movie coming out.

Along the same lines, who hasn't had a romantic thought about using Gatsby since hearing that the remake is coming out?

Gatsby is definitely my guilty pleasure name! The rest are pretty terrible IMO.

Yea, I'll go with this. There are all pop culture based names, hopefully not being truly considered for actual babies. I have always liked Calix and Caia though and bc of GoT Arya has grown on me.

Hmm I cannot say I like any of those for babies.

However, I had a foster dog named Blue and would name another Gatsby in the future.

I like Niall and Sybil a lot. Meh to the rest.

I like Niall- it's pretty commonly used in Ireland, just hasn't had much eexposure here. Although I did teach one this year (12 yo). The rest range from NMS to WTF.

Sybil is the only one I can tolerate.

No way. Please tell me you're joking. Anything that sounds like it should be on the periodic table is a no-no (Theon, Halcyon, Calix, Decimus).

Theon - Anyone who names their kid this without reading all the books first, should be arrested.

Have to agree with that, although I do like the name. I think Tyrion is a great name to  ??

That's exactly what I thought the first time I saw this list on Nameberry. Bruts.

Niall and Sybil are okay. Gatsby is cute but I wouldn't use it.

I also agree, although I like Theon's name a lot.

I freaking LOVE Tyrion. Both the name and the character. So much so that I'm exercising serious restraint in not using it  

misspunky

I hate almost every single one of those names.

Halcyon: I see halcion (the drug used for oral sedation).  Poor kid.

Love Theon. But I'm a huge GOT nerd.
