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

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