Put beside each name whether you like it or dislike it and put why you like or dislike it beside the name
Josie - Like only as a nn. Prefer Josephine as the full name.
Mia - Like, but according to the SSA list, it's immensely popular. Also, it sounds a pit like a nn or "pet name" for grandmother (well, in my family that's what it is - grandkids call one particular grandma, "Mia")
Lila (lie-luh) - Like. Just sounds pretty, and is perhaps a smidge less popular than Lily.
Zoe (zo-ee) - Like but would never use as it sounds little girlish to me.
Summer - Like. But I tend to like nature-y names.
Gracie - Don't like. It's a nn, not a full name. Prefer Grace.
Jenna - Like, but will never love. It seems like it's lacking something.
Hope - Pretty virtue name. Like.
Kaylie - Sorry, no. Sounds like the child will forever be a toddler. Kayla is better, but still seems cute. Calla is really pretty and has more longevity in my opinion.
Josie- dislike, cutesy, prefer Josephine with nn JosieMia- dislike, know a dog with this nameLila (lie-luh)- beautifulZoe (zo-ee)- strongly dislikeSummer- like but a little hippy-ishGracie- strongly dislike, know a cat with this name, cutesyJenna- beautiful name and not popular eitherHope- loveKaylie- strongly dislikeKendall- like the sound of it but makes me think of Ken doll every time I hear it
Josie - dislike. Too cutesy, and I've known a lot of dogs named Josie. And my mom says it weird, which drives me nuts.
Mia - dislike. A lot of people like this name, but I think it sounds trashy.
Lila - like
Zoe - hate. one of my least favorite names ever. WAY too cutesy and it's a Sesame Street character
Summer - pretty. I like it. I wouldn't use it, but I like it,
Gracie - dislike. If you made it just Grace, I would really like it
Jenna - dislike. Dated. And the name of a porn star; that's the first thing I think of.
Hope - dislike. Trashy
Kaylie - dislike. Too cutesy.
Kendall - eh. It's ok. I can't commit to either dislike or like

Put beside each name whether you like it or dislike it and put why you like or dislike it beside the name
Josie- I do like it, but only as a nn for Josephina, not as a stand alone name.
Mia- I can't put a finger on why, but it's just nms.
Lila (lie-luh)- I know a few dogs and cats with this name, so I wouldn't be able to use it for my own child.
Zoe (zo-ee)- Again, I'm not really sure why, but it's nms. I think it might just sound ditzy to me.
Summer- I knew a girl named Summer. Her stripper name was Crystal and I couldn't figure out why she even needed a stage name. For that reason, I'm not a fan.
Gracie- I like it as a nn for Grace, which is such a pretty name.
Jenna- I don't dislike it, it's just nms.
Hope- I don't dislike it, it's just nms.
Kaylie- I just doesn't do anything for me.
Kendall- Like pp, it reminds me of ken doll, plus I know a couple little boys with this name and a really annoying teenager, so I personally won't be able to use it.
I think they are all nice names, but I don't think any of them are my style.
Re: like or dislike
Josie - dislike; no reason why, just nms
Mia - like, don't love.
Lila (lie-luh) - like, but a bit "safe"

Mia - like but it lacks substance
Lila (lie-luh) - like
Zoe (zo-ee) - dislike; not sure why; just don't like the sound of it

Jenna - dislike; it's dated
Hope - dislike; too plain
Kaylie - meh; I don't mind it spelled this way; prefer Kylie
Kendall - like

Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
The only ones I like are Mia and Lila.
And Kendall....sort of. I would like Grace (best) instead of Gracie.
I don't like the rest because....
I think Josie is an unattractive name, Summer, Jenna and Hope are dated, and Kaylie is just awful.
Josie - I like it as a nn for Josephine
Mia - it's ok, just nms
Lila (lie-luh) - I like the name, I think it sounds pretty. I do prefer it with an h though.
Zoe (zo-ee) - I've never really been a fan of this name
Summer - It's ok, not so much a fan of season names
Gracie - I prefer Grace
Jenna - Hate. Bad association, plus it sounds dated.
Hope - Dislike very much; same with names like Faith
Kaylie - Hate. Why? Because, it just sounds awful.
Kendall - I don't like the hard K sound in general
Of all, I like:
Zo? (with the umlaut though I realize many people just find it unecessary & confusing)
Lila
Mia
Jenna
