I actually don't have a least favourite, your whole list is lovely. I am not hugely fond of Jordan, on either gender, but it's a minor quibble.

My top ten names would be:
Anders
Elias
Ibrahim
Leonidas
Simon
Fatima
Josephine
Mariam
Noor
Zaynab

I voted!

Favorites:
Amira (LOVE this!)
Eli
Elias
Hassan
Jonathan
Josephine
Lia
Mark
Nicholas
Rafiq
Rebecca
Simon
Thomas

I'd also love Amina (ah-MEE-nah) spelled thusly and Malik if it were pronounced mah-LEEK. I'm not a fan of the Aminah spelling or the MAL-ick pronunciation at all.

Least favorites:
Boutros
Deborah
Deniz (I can't see this as feminine -- it reminds me of Dennis)
Donald
Fahd
Fatima (can't get past the "fat" part)
Fouad (reminds me of food)
Hani (reads very girly to me)
Kyle
Malik pronounced MAL-ick
Marita
Moses (waaaaay too loaded IMO)
Rahman (all I see is "raw man")
Salma
Sami (see Hani)
Samson
Silas
Sebastian (possibly my least favorite boy name ever)
Terrance
Veronica
Yushua (so...squishy)
Zayna (I know this is legit but it looks like a tryndee invention along the lines of Kayla and Baylee)
