wanna help me narrow these down ?

JaiLou8833 · December 2015

Here is a list of boy|girl names that I like. I'm not pregnant yet.. but I will be and I wanted to see if I could narrow these lists down a bit. I've ask my SO what he thought. But he doesn't want to think of names yet. The ones with stars are my favorites. And MN means middle name choices only.
So if you could just go through these and give me your thoughts that would be perfect

And there are alot of unique girl names I never heard of, but I THINK are actual names ? I don't know. I thought they were cute.
Anyway, thanks

I REALLY like Ava, anna and Cora.

Issacand Luke

Gabriella and Lydia

Forget that paisley is misspelled.. Your I is in the wrong place for the pronunciation I assume you're looking for. What you've got here would be pronounced pas-ill-we

I eliminated mn because they were all fine for middles.

BOYS
*Hunter- alright name extremely popular amongst the countriest folks where I live.
Kaleb- Eh, Caleb is kind of boring and I much prefer it with a C
Jacob- Fine name popular but boring
Isaac- fine name popular and boring
Cain- named after the world's first murderer? I'm not even religious but this name is a no go for me. I don't hate Abel, however.
Jase- definitely spell it Jase or Jace and I like it!
Ashton- I like this one but it doesn't roll off the tongue for me...it's got a harsh sound.
Brody- I'm not a fan of names that end in the -ee sound. It's too cutesy for me.
Noah- very popular, also boring
Dakota- I really like Dakota. I knew a guy who used the nn Koty (sounds like Cody).
*Brenner- Never heard this one and my immediate reaction is that it was a smoosh up version of Bruce + Jenner.
Derek- kind of dated but I don't hate it.
Jeremy- also dated but might be refreshing on a little boy! although again with the -ee sound

Overall: You got a decent list. I'm a teacher and I pretty much have a Hunter, Caleb, Jacob, Isaac, and Noah in every single class. They aren't bad names just popular...which some people don't mind. The only names I think you should definitely toss are Cain and Brenner. My favorite is Dakota.

GIRLS
Ava Sky- as a double first name? Nope! Add Sky onto most names and they immediately remind me of strippers! Ava is fine but popular.
Avabelle- This is not a name
Avahlyn - This is not a name
Avalee - This is not a name
Avaley- This is not a name
Avarae- This is not a name
Avaline- This is not a name
Avery- This is a boy name but I don't hate it. It's certainly better than what's going on at the top of this list.
*Ava- finally good old fashioned Ava. I suggest just using Ava and giving her the middle name Rae or Lee then you can still call her Ava Rae without her having to live with a terrible smooshed up trendy mess!
Natalie- lovely name
Anneliese- so many people make fun of this name, they think it sounds like it has anal in it, I think it's kind of a stretch but it still turned me off the name
Anastasia- lovely name, I worry about the 50 Shades association
Arianna- lovely name, I also love Adrianna and Audrianna
*Annalie- a lot of people think it sounds like anally and I can't move past that!
Annabelle- I love this name, it's on my list too!
Anabella- I like it better spelled with two n's but I like this name too.
Brianna- classic, good choice
*Savannah - my favorite spelling, also a pretty name
* - Lillianna- my favorite spelling, I also like this name.
*Coralie- I'm not sure this is a real name but I like it anyway, spelled this way though. I hate -ee endings.
*Coraline- I also don't think Coraline is a real name but I love it anyway.
Coralyn- not a fan of this one though
*Cora- love, love Cora!
Elena- nice name kind of blah
*Emmaline- I think this one is spelled Emeline but I don't hate either one
*Claire - MN - good
Jasmine- stripper
Jazlyn- this is not a name
Skye- stripper
Lydia- lovely, lovely
Gabriella- lovely
Aria- lovely
Makenzie- trendy
Pasilee- terrible!
Scarlett- lovely!

Overall: definitely get rid of all those Ava smooshes, Anneliese and Annalie too, Coralyn, Jazlyn, Makenzie and Paislee...then you got a nice list! My favorite is probably Aria, Lydia, Coraline, or Annabelle but you seem to really like Ava too which is also a nice name!

Good luck, hope I helped you narrow it down!

Names I like best from your lists, of course this is my opinion. Definitely have a great start to the list. Any of the middle names are nice that you have picked out.
