Should have guessed I'd see those & lose IQ points...

---

*the sun came up with no conclusion*

I like:

---

BreAnne (spelt Breanne)
Story
Jadyn (spelt Jaden)
Meaghan (spelt Megan)

BreAnne spelling is wierd though I have a friend BriAnna.
AshLynn again spelling wierd.
Cavin horrible little girls name.
Makynli would be fine if you could spell it.
Tootie is a horrid name.
Elexis parents should have had a spell check.
Morghan these too.
Rylee is perfectly fine. I have a cousin Riley, a girl. I think it is adorable and that Rylee is a girlier spelling.
Sparkal is crazy and not even spelled right.
Kragen sounds harsh.
Halia not good.
Marleigh wouldn't love but I like Marley better.
Kayleigh however I'm okay with this spelling. Wierd I know.
Brionna like me 1 letter change = life time of frustrated respelling for other people.
Kaleigha perfer Kaleigh or Kaley.
Maverick for a girl? I don't even like this on a boy but a girl!
Taralyn okay I guess but better separated.
Kiannah spelling is too different. Though Kiana is beautiful.
Essence is too bizarre.
Karlee is okay but again hard to spell.
Story is just not a good name.
Jadyn x2 is okay.
Meaghan is okay.
Aja is too wierd.
Bayleigh I love Bailey but I perfer on a boy. The spelling though.
Sterling I've heard it on a boy. But no girls.
Paris wouldn't be great but the association to Paris Hilton labels the girl as stupid.

Well, these are terrifying.

---

The ability people have to misspell names will never cease to disturb me....

---

AshLynn- Aisling would be pretty, sans extraneous capitals.

---

Elexis- Alexis? I'd love this... on a boy, spelled properly...

---

Morghan- I would love this- if it were Morgan. And on a boy.

---

Halia- Well, it reminds me slightly of Hala, which I like. I don't know whether that excuses it from tacky-ness though.

---

Story- It's one of my GPs, in that "I could never use it, even as a deeply-hidden zillionth middle name" sort of way, but I'd use Story before any of these others.

I think the parents on that show are the worst.
BreAnne and AshLynn's mother is the one who showers one girl with praise and ignores the other girl isn't she? Her younger daughter said, to the camera!, that she wanted to win a pageant so her mommy would love her as much she loves her sister.
A mother's love should not be conditional on pageant trophies.

---

Maverick on a boy is acceptable. The others are terrible. Anything with -leigh upsets me.

Oh come on they aren't all bad. Just trendy which isn't liked much on this board but not terrible or anything.

---

I like Paris, Sterling and Story. Maverick is alright, even though I prefer it on a boy. I also like Sterling and Paris on boys but they're alright for both genders, in my opinion.

---

Then there are some ugly spellings but there's nothing wrong with the names themselves:

---

Bayleigh (I like Bailey)
Karlee (I like Carly)
Kiannah (I like Kiana)
Brionna (I like Briana)
Kayleigh (I actually like it spelled like this and I also like Kailey and Kayley)
Rylee (I like Riley)
Morghan (I like Morgan)
Elexis (I like Alexis)

---

I'd also like Brianne, Aisling and McKinley. Asia and Aja are both alright. Megan is fine as well so is Marley.

---

The only ones that are really horrible are:

---

Kragen (has the nice added bonus of meaning collar in German)
Essence
Sparkal
Cavin
Halia (at least if this is supposed to be Hayley)
Tootie (but fine as a nickname)

---

I think the worst is Sparkal. It looks so super ugly, too.

I've posted all these names before but my opinion of them hasn't changed. Sparkal and Kragen are still ridiculous. BreeAnne, AshLynn, Meaghan and Morghan aren't bad but I don't like the spellings.

---

Btw, BreeAnne and AshLynn are twins and their sisters are named AinsLee, BryLeigh, and BrookLynn

Oh they are all TERRIBLE!

Cavin: Like a cave-in?

---

Sparkal: Does she graduate to the Tiny Tots Stripteasers soon?

---

Tootie: What's her talent, does she have musical flatulence?

---

Sometimes I think you can tackify any name by sticking leigh onto it.

Tootie's real name was Madison

---

None of these names seem really strange to me though, I see them on BAs all the time. I don't think the fact that they're in pageants changes anything.

---

eta: I do love love LOVE Story though. :]

The only name I really like is Maverick (on a boy!). Paris is pretty cool on a boy, and Aja is okey too.

I actually don't mind Story, Sterling and well, Tootie is kind of fun. I don't think I'd want to be a teenage Tootie though.

I'd never have thought that Paris, Sterling, and Essence would have it lucky.

Most of these are horrendous, but I'm okay with Kayleigh and Maverick, if it were a boy.

---

I'd be okay with...

---

AshLynn sp. Ashlyn
Makynli sp. McKinley (on a boy)
Elexis sp. Alexis
Marleigh sp. Marley
Karlee sp. Carly
Bayleigh sp. Bailey or Bailee

---

But I'd never use any of them for my children!

These are very tacky, there isn't a single one I like!

I strongly dislike all of them, but these ones stand out as being exceptionally terrible:

---

Sterling (would like it for a boy)
Maverick (ditto)
BreAnne
AshLynn
Cavin
Makynli
Tootie
Marleigh
Kayleigh
Brionna
Paris
Kaleigha
Kragen (This is the worst!)
