     Boys:

    Owen - over used

    Henry - classic but popular... love Hank (but, biased)

    Wesley - like, good friend associations from high school

    Girls:

    Emerson - I think of this snotty biotch of a SIL to my friend who named her daughter this.  It makes me hate the name...  And, I think LN turned FN sounding, and thus should be a boys' name.

    Cameron - Boy name.

    Riley - Boy name

    The boys' names sound classic and masculine, the girls' names are trendy and unisex.

     Boys:

    Owen - I like it.

    Henry - I like it better than either of the other options.

    Wesley - I like it. But it's DHs name, so I'm a bit biased.

    Girls:

    Emerson - Ugly, for a boy or girl.

    Cameron - Definitely a boy's name in my book. Please don't use it on a girl.

    Riley - Ugly, for a boy or girl.

    Owen is good. I've always liked Owen.

    Henry is insanely popular. I like it but there are soooo many of them.

    Wesley is nice. I like it.

    I don't like any of the girls names. Sorry.

    I love Owen and Henry. Can't stand Wesley.

    Not a fan of the girl names.

    I like your list! I'm a fan of boys names for girls--however, you will find that 99% of this board is not. I like Henry and Emerson the best.

    Boys -

    Owen is cute but really popular.

    Henry reminds me of an old man. I don't like it at all for anyone under age 60.

    LOVE Wesley - that is our boy's choice.

    Girls - 

    Emerson just makes me think of the off-brand electronics company.

    Cameron is okay, but I tend not to like unisex names.

    Riley is my favorite of your girl names, but again is unisex.

    Wesley is my favorite boy name.  I also love the nickname Wes.  Owen and Henry are also good, solid choices.

    I don't care for your girl names because they all seem a bit masculine.  Unisex names are generally not my style but I find these to be okay - Morgan, Avery, Marlow, Piper, Whitney, Aubrey, Sage, Remy, Rory, Mackenzie, Sloane, Taylor, Sydney, Reese and Adrian.

    Of your girl choices, if you twisted my arm, I would pick Cameron.

    I am shocked that so many people hate unisex girls names.  We are DEFINITELY going that route, and are probably leaning towards Cameron.  Also, so  many are saying Owen is popular, but I have never seen one Owen over here. 

    so weird.

    Thanks for the input
