Re: Central Illinois names
Well, first, they are all, with exception of Nora, Alfredo, and maybe Gretchen, very very predictable as the names of fourteen-year-olds. People really don't step outside the box, do they? That aside, though, I will give my opinions. I'll refrain from saying things such as "I like this but would never use it due to popularity" and "It's not that I don't like this, it's just that I'm sick of hearing it", but you can assume that this is true of some of these names. But popularity doesn't cause me to actually dislike a name, so I am capable of giving an opinion without taking into consideration the popularity level.Alexis Baine -- I don't find Alexis feminine enough. I assume that Baine is a family name, if so, okay.Caroline Ann -- Caroline is a nice and sweet classic. Ann is a boring filler middle name and doesn't even flow that well with Caroline.Caylie Renee -- I hate Caylie. What is it but made-up turn-of-the-millenium crap? Renee is whatever.Emily Ann -- Emily is a nice sweet honest name. But again with the filler Ann. At least you could add an E to it.Gretchen Elizabeth -- People love to hate on Gretchen, but I find it has some charm to it. Elizabeth is somewhat fillerish as a middle name.Haleigh Marie -- Hayley is rather pretty, but I hate when people change the spellings of girls names to include the letters "eigh". Just don't, it looks dumb. Marie is very fillerish.Hannah Kathryn -- I really hate the name Hannah. It has such a plain and ugly vibe to me. Just doesn't sound nice. At all. Kathryn is okay but Katherine is better.Lauren Alexandra -- Lauren is kind of pretty but it's always struck me as not feminine enough so I'd never use it. Alexandra is kind of unexpected in the middle name slot and of course it's a beautiful name.Makenna Gail -- Oh ick. Oh ugh. OH VOMIT. I despise Makenna. I hate Gail.Natalie Erin -- Natalie is very pretty but Erin is one of my most despised names ever.Nora Kay---Nora is pretty and Kay sounds so sweet with Nora.Payten Amanda -- I despise Payten, like Amanda, they don't go well together.Rachel Michelle -- Pretty neutral on Rachel. I don't love it and I don't hate it. Michelle is pretty.Sophia Rose -- I like Sophia and I like Rose but Rose is fillerish as a middle name.Sydney -- Hate Sydney for a girl and not fond of Nicole.Adam Luke -- Both are handsome names but they don't sound good together.Alfredo Blaze -- I don't like Alfredo and Blaze is ridiculous.Caleb David -- I like Caleb and hate David. I'd mainly use Caleb for the nickname Cal.Jack David -- I like Jack and okay I'm weird, but I still think it should stay a nickname for John. You know I hate David.Jacob Dylan -- Not wild about Jacob. Always makes me think of a gross old man. Dylan is comical next to Jacob because it has the opposite image, a wild good-looking young guy.Joshua David -- Joshua is a handsome Biblical classic. What's with so many uses of David as a middle name?Matthew Wesley -- I hate Matthew. I hate the THYOO ending. I really like Wesley.Mark Stephen -- Mark is quite handsome. But I hate Stephen as much as I hate David and Matthew.Skylar Dakota--Both idiotic.Tyler Michael Trent -- I think Tyler is handsome but I hate Michael. I hate it as much as I hate David, Matthew, and Stephen. Trent is horrendous. At leat it's a third middle name, I worked with a woman whose grandson was given Trent as a first name.
