    For Boys I eliminate Dean. Just because it makes me think of a school dean, going to a dean when you get into trouble.

    For Girls the first one i would eliminate would be Noelle, because it reminds me of the Christmas Carol.

    Second, Alexandra because you're inevitably going to be called Alex at some point and i personally think it sounds more like a boy name than a girl name.

    Third Alessandra, It just doesn't sound as pretty as the others in my opinion :)

    And fourth, Lena. There isn't anything i really don't like about this one, just the other ones sound nicer to me :)

    Hope you like my answers :)

    Elimination of boys name: Dean

    Elimination of girl names: Isla, Alexandra, Lena, and Alessandra

    My favorite? I love the name Henry because it just makes me think of a cute little boy running around and being happy. Now if I had to choose a favorite for a girl, I would choose Carlie because I just love the way you spelled it! :)

    Eliminate Henry, for sure. haha.

    and eliminate Isla, Noelle, Alexandra, and Lena.

    My fave boy name is Alden. It's really unique. I like Liliana for girls because it's different.

    Boys:

    Alden - It's odd to say, and if I had that name it would be odd to have.

    Girls:

    Alessanda - Now if it were Alexandra, I would like it. But the S's make it awkward to even say. It's not cute or sexy or anything, it's just... weird.

    Isla - Honestly, it sounds like any girl with this name would have hippy parents. It's kind of exotic, but it's strange until you reach your twenties or thirties with it. Growing up with the name Isla would just be horrible.

    Lena - Same as Isla.

    Noelle - I'm assuming this is pronounced as Noel, which is why I don't like it. Something about it is too... predictable. It's just not a nice name to me. Ten, twenty years ago it was a cute name. But in this century it's a bit overplayed.
