Are my names really that bad?

futuremomma2017 · October 2015

I showed my shortlist of girl names to a co-worker the other day and she made a face at them, I didn't think they were that bad but now I'm rethinking them. I figured I'd get honest opinions here, do I need to go back to the drawing board?

Audrey Elaine

Ella Harper

Abigail Leia

Lucille Joan

Elaine, Ella, Abigail, Lucille and Joan are all family names, the other names are just names I like, are they really bad or do I need o go back to the drawing board?

No, not at all! These are all great names! Ella/Ellie and Harper are pretty trendy right now but other than that I think that you have some solid choices.

wassuphoes · October 2015

I think they are pretty good. Audrey Elaine is very pretty.

Everyone has different tastes, but there is nothing "wrong " with the names you posted.

herewegrow · October 2015

Every single one of those names are beautiful! Sounds like she just doesn't share your taste, which is excellent. I have an Audrey and we get a ton of compliments on it.

lm45678 · October 2015

Love them all! My favorite would be Ella Harper (Ella has been a favorite name of mine since my aunt named my cousin that 20 years ago).

Audrey would be my second choice.

Good job!

breezycat · October 2015

I was expecting something crazy like Braxxton or Kinleighanna. All of your name choices are nice. Ignore your coworker. Audrey is my favorite from your list.

futuremomma2017 · October 2015

Thank you! I guess it is just a matter of personal taste, I haven't shown these names to my SO, so let's hope he thinks they are decent names. lol

parenthood4 · October 2015

I think it's a very nice list. My favorite is Audrey. I can't see how anyone could make a face at that!

KaLikeAWind · October 2015

This is a very nice list. I'm also a fan of Audrey Elaine. Abigail Leia is my second (I'm a Star Wars geek).

fourtsixand2 · October 2015

I quite like them.

CaboBride2015 · October 2015

They are great, but now I need to know what your coworker thinks are good names... lol

kayway85 · October 2015

My best friend has suggested some names to me - Jade, Alicia, Audra. It's not that I don't like these names, they just arnt my style. Your coworker probably feels similarly, although she didn't need to make a face to convey that to you!

I like the names on your list.

jessielynn1 · October 2015

Nope I like all of them except leia. Audrey Elaine is my fav. Your coworker is cray.

ClaireBear90 · October 2015

Go show your coworker these responses and make a face back.

I LOVE Audrey Elaine, it is a gorgeous combination! Harper and Leia are not my style, but they are well-balanced by classic Abigail and Ella. Lucille is very pretty and underused and I'm a fan of honoring family. Great choices!

ETA: spelling.

FutureMrsCaesar · October 2015

I think you choices are great, classic names. Maybe it's a good thing your co-worker doesn't get a vote in naming your baby!

carajeanp37 · October 2015

I love Audrey, that was on my list for my LO! (Couldn't sell it - She ended up with Celia) Harper and leia were tossed around as well, I decided Harper was too popular for me and as much as we love Star Wars I didn't think she'd ever live down the gold bikini haha

Not sure what problem someone would have with any of your names!

brambles1 · October 2015

Lucille is nms but all your names/combos are really nice! I especially love Audrey Elaine.

Knottie1442268460 · October 2015

I don't think I'd sic Lucille & Joan on a kid. Only one of those and use it in middle. Just my opinion.

Hector33 · October 2015

Love the first 2 names! Nothing wrong with the last 2 names I just prefer the first 2!

elle313 · October 2015

Not bad at all! I was expecting some crazy made up names from your title. I think any of your four names would be really nice for a your girl.

MamaWren919 · October 2015

These are great names! I was expecting some trendy madeup mess!! Love Audrey the most, but they're all great!

Linsbins · October 2015

I like them all. I think Ella is going to get mixed in with those Emma/Emmeline kids though. But they are all lovely names.

byanconish · October 2015

I like Audrey! I'm getting the same thing, I'm getting the nose up to all the names I like but as my best friend told me, its whatever u like not what eveeyone else thinks.....
Everyone gave her a hard time when she named her daughter EllieMae ( I thought the same thing but kept quiet lol) but it honestly fits her daughter perfect ...

eileenmcgoo · October 2015

Love them all. Ella is my least favorite though, because it's overused in my area.

gingercatNJ · October 2015

Those names are lovely! Lucille Joan maybe doesn't flow as well, but I LOVE Audrey Elaine!

4N6s · October 2015

Ummmm they are all great.
She is probably like my coworkers who are telling me to use Jude for a girl (since it was our boy name and we haven't decided on a girl name). Terrible.

AlphabetFish · October 2015

You know what I think? Your coworker must like garbage if THESE made her turn her nose up.

Any of these names is perfectly lovely! Audrey Elaine is just gorgeous and my favorite--the way it flows is heavenly.

paytonpedro · October 2015

They are all great! Go with what you like, it's your child!

chicki1012 · October 2015

They are all very pretty names

dapoint23 · October 2015

Love Audrey!

futuremomma2017 · October 2015

So I asked my co-worker what names she would use on her child. Jaxton, China, and Marley were on the list. Me thinks that this is just a case of my names not being her style.

xxdove · October 2015

Your coworker is crazy. Your names are beautiful. Audrey has always been in my top 5 favorite names, but I also love Lucille. I have to say my vote would go to Abigail Leia though because the use of Leia is just awesome.

Yikes! Take her side eye as a compliment I guess!!

madisonjane · October 2015

These are all beautiful! I adore Audrey Elaine and think it's a lovely combo. You seem to be into classic and timeless names. People who are just into whatever is currently trendy won't appreciate your style.

Oh my goodness.

spoonleg · October 2015

Your names are fine. It's your coworker who's terrible. Don't show anyone else your name choices in the future.

orangesprinkles · October 2015

I really like ALL of your choices! My favorite being Audrey Elaine.

Oh now it makes sense.

Honey, your coworker has bad taste.

kaytlyn567 · October 2015

Love Audrey Elaine!

futuremomma2017 · October 2015

Thank you for all the replies! I love that so many people like Audrey Elaine. It's actually my first choice, hopefully my SO likes the name when I tell him my name ideas.

ashx3renee · October 2015

I like all of them, but love Audrey Elaine. Lucille is my mom's middle name and she grew up despising it, but I like it.
