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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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 ...
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.
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.
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!!
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.

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.
Re: Are my names really that bad?
Everyone has different tastes, but there is nothing "wrong " with the names you posted.
Audrey would be my second choice.
Good job!

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

Oh my goodness.
Honey, your coworker has bad taste.
