Oh the humanity...

Briggs Walker
Costner (sister Camryn)
Lylla Joycee
Kace and Cash (twins)
Ebhanan (pronounced Evan)

I'm not a person for boys names on girls...at all. However, Khloe Joel does have a pretty nice sound. Maybe it's because I'm hearing it as a surname like Billy Joel?

Lylla Joycee is criminal mainly because Lyla or Lila Joyce would have been postively fantastic and they missed the boat.Olive is nice and if LouLou was Louise or Luisa it would be a nice sib setAarow for a girl just seems confusing. It's such a masculine, even phallic symbol... don't know what the parents were going for with that at all.

I like Joel on a girl (was a favorite of mine early in HS).
Briggs is okish but definitely not with Walker (machismo much?)
Ebhanan is just plain scary.
Aarow is cool, though I prefer it on a boy.
Blayton is a blatant shame.
Brixton is neat, even if it does sound trendy.
Addelynnea looks like someone's cat walked across the keyboard.
I don't know what to think about Brezdyn. I'm unsure about gender here because it feels like a Preston rip off, but my gut is saying it's on a girl.Are we sure Hall isn't just a shortening of Holly?

Nope, Hall is the full name.Brezdyn I just saw written down so I'm not sure on gender but I was thinking boy.I felt bad for Addelynnea though because her class had made picture frames with their names on the top in 3D stickers and got to decorate the rest and her name ended up going around the whole frame and she didn't get to decorate it.

I'm hoping that for every bad name on here there was at least one good one that you didn't mention, or else you live somewhere that people have terrible tastes in names, last year when I went to a pre-K dance recital there were only a handful of terrible names, most of them were quite normally spelled and most of them were not anything too weird unlike Delorian which made me laugh out loud. Most of these only make me cringe not laugh. DeLorian is a surname I think but I assume it's pronounced like Delorean, I can't believe someone named a child this, especially a girl child.

I don't know, I kind of like Fielding if it was a family name or something. The reat though...Also, LouLou Olive wouldn't be so bad if LouLou was short for Louise. Louise Olive isn't awful.

Sort of like aliens from another planet trying to fit in.
Or like "The Borrowers", who had names that were kind of like ordinary ones, but not quite. Though it's hard, I give the prize to Allizabeth.

Wow. Just wow.
I hate to ask this - because it just about sums up this name list - but is Jaxon Grae a boy or a girl?
Ebhanan is the most pathetic try at being Irish I've ever seen, while Khloe Joel has to be my least favourite two names ever!
However I do quite like Aarow (but on a boy), Brixton and Harley-May. :)
