Favourite names from this list?

This question is totally for fun - I'm not pregnant or anything, I just compulsively collect names.

Below is a list of my favourite names for girls and boys. For years, I've been messing around, making combinations of first and middle names that I think flow together well. Do you have any suggestions of names that sound nice together (preferably chosen from the list below)?

Feel free to include other names if you think they sound particularly nice with any of my favourites.

GIRLS:

Anastasia (Anya)

Bonnie

Charlotte

Clarice

Erin

Ezra

Fiona

Gretchen

Gwendolyn (Gwen)

Josephine (Josie)

Katelyn (Kate)

Kyra

Larissa

Lenore

Lola

Luna

Lydia

Madeline (Maddie)

Mae

Matilda

Mona

Morgan

Nova

Penelope (Penny)

Rose

Talula or Tallulah

Tatum

Thalia

Topanga

Violet

Winter

Willow

BOYS:

Adam

Adrian

Casey

Charlie

Dexter

Devin

Eli

Elijah

Elliot

Ezra

Gavin

Jared

Isaiah

Logan

Luka

Morgan

Noah

River

Robin

Spencer

Tristan

Thomas

Also, if you see a name on this list that you absolutely HATE, feel free to tell me and the reason why you dislike it so much. I promise I won't take any offense, I am just curious as to the general impressions these names leave.

Thanks a lot!

Update:

Note: Add "Eleanor" to girl's list.

Update 2:

Okay, for the record, in posting this I was really hoping in getting some name COMBINATIONS, like first and middle names together (i.e. Matilda Rose and Adam Ezra). But I do love all this input!

Brazen, your post was especially helpful. I, too, prefer Ezra as a boy's name, but I'm constantly getting, "Oh yeah... that would be such a pretty name for a little girl!" so over the years it got added to my girl's list too.

"Topanga" is a bit of a guilty pleasure, admittedly. I don't think I'd ever actually use it, but I love the sound of it so much I have trouble taking it off my list.

Anna, I like the names Elliot and Eli seperately. That is why they're both on the list. (Eli is not just a nickname!)

Thanks EVERYONE for your input!!!

    You have some great names here! The ones I totally love are:

    GIRLS: Anastasia, Charlotte, Clarice, Fiona, Gwendolyn, Josephine, Lenore, Lola, Lydia, Madeline, Matilda, Penelope, Tallulah, Thalia, Violet

    BOYS: Adam, Adrian, Charlie (but only as a nickname for Charles...not as an official name!), Elijah, Elliot, Gavin, Jared, Isaiah, Logan, Tristan, Thomas

    My ABSOLUTE favorites are a tie between Fiona and Lydia for a girl, and Tristan for a boy...these ones are on my own favorites list!

    There aren't many names here that I totally hate, but here they are, with the reasons:

    Ezra (for a girl): It's a boy's name. Yes, there are a lot of traditional Hebrew male names that end with an A sound...it just sounds ignorant IMO to use them for girls.

    Katelyn: Too modern and trendy, with too many spelling variations...no matter how you spell it, people will always be guessing wrong.

    Topanga: You'd really name your daughter after a character on a crappy 90's sitcom?

    River: Too trendy and hippie for my taste, and not manly enough...I think of the female character on Firefly before I think of River Phoenix.

    Anastasia: I don't know why I like it. lol It's just cute. lol

    Bonnie: Because I like Bonnie & Clyde. It's romantic♡

    Fiona: I don't really like that I associate this name w an ogre, but it's VERY cute nonetheless

    Larissa: I like most names that have "〜rissa" in it. It just makes it sound so femme and beautiful

    Lydia: It's such an adorable name as a child and classy when older

    Nova: I didn't care for it much, but it's def starting to grow on me!

    Penelope: But I don't care for the nickname "Penny" though

    Violet: I'm in love w most "V" names too! Can be classy, cute, and edgy at the same time

    Cute combos

    Anything w Rose never fails to be lovely.

    Anastasia Violet

    Penelope Winter

    Lydia Mae

    Fiona Violet

    Winter Nova

    I hate Eleanor. I'm sorry, but it just sounds like an old hag's name.

    The rest of the names, some I like some I dislike. The ones that like just didn't make it to the "really like" list.

    Boys

    Adam: Every Adam I've ever met was HOT!

    Adrian: Pretty masculine. Seems like a strong name.

    Casey: Iusually don't like unisex names for a boy, but again every Casey I've met was hot. Even every girl named Casey was hot! lol

    Charlie: Old fashion yet still modern. Seems like a gentleman.

    I dislike Spencer because of that idiot w Heidi.

    I'm a strict judge for some reason w boys' names. Again, some of the others on your list were nice, but it didn't cut the mustard. The reason I usually don't like a boy's name is because it either sounds weak, a little femme, or too old. Like Humphrey. This is just my opinion though.

    Cute combos

    Adam Thomas

    Charlie Adrian

    Adrian Casey

    Casey Jared

    Jared Logan

    For girls I think Larissa is a lovely name and for boys Elijah. They both flow wonderfully. May I suggest some names for girls?

    Alyssa

    Also the name Lenore reminds me of washing softner (Lenor)

    For boys I really like Elijah, Gavin, and River

    Hi :)

    I like the names Madeline pronounced MadeLINE not Lyn. Madeline is already on your list! I like Amelia too. And Elliot/Eliott with the nickname Eli is on your list too!

    :)

    Madeline Rose, Amelia Claire and Elliot/Eliott Matthew or Daniel or Mark!

    PS I'm not pregnant, just an addict! lol

    ;)
