Wow! This is awesome, thanks so much!!

---

Alexander: I love Sasha too but most people don't get that Sasha is the nn for Alexander/Alexandra

---

Antero - it's Finnish. There's so many awesome Finnish names that I wouldn't use (not being Finnish) and sometimes they sneak into my lists ;)

---

Caelan - not trendy or made up. It's Irish and old :)

---

Conrad - Exactly :D

---

Ishmael - nah, don't be sorry. That's why I like it. I'd only use it as a middle name though

---

Leo - Yay ^_^ We get a lot of compliments on his name

---

Lysander - Hmm, really?

---

Quinn - for a girl? That would be interesting

---

Sorin - doesn't sound like 'sore' if you don't have an American accent ^_~

---

Tristan - so totally agree about name meanings

---

Xavier - it's one of my all-time favouites :)

---

Alouette - I know >_< And I could never use it either but I just love saying it! So it made the list

---

Anya - yay!

---

Arwen - that's why I wouldn't use it. But I love the sound so Anwen is a great idea. I didn't know it was a name. It's going on the list :)

---

Estelle - is it really an old person name? Hum.

---

Luna - It's going to be Maeve's middle name :)

---

Mai - Is going to be Tamsin's middle name. It's said like "mine" without the N, not like "may". Apperently in the USA and England it's being used and said "may"

---

Mali - more than a place name for me but I wouldn't use it now cos of that association

---

Mari - no it's said differently. MAH-ree not MAIR-ree

---

Sine - said SHEE-na

---

Tamsin - cos it it glistens orange and red and is entirely adorable, but it'll age okay as well. Cos it makes me think of Tam Lin, and you can shorten it to Tamsi, and because we just love it, I guess :)

Thank you :)

I'd only use Ishmael as a middle name I think.
Sky with no E looks like a hippy name but I love Skye with an E. Then it's as old as the Isle of Skye :)

---

Kind of prefer Cieran as well, actually.

Andi is a nice spelling for a girl. I didn't think of that one!!

---

Why do you think Avery, Skye and Shiloh are terrible on girls but good for boys? I mean I like all three on boys as well but I'd probably only use them as girls names if I used them.

Thanks :)
I like that you'd use Lavender! That's a guilty pleasure for me but I'd love it if I met someone named Lavender.

Liam - yeahh, I knew that xD

---

Mihai - wondering why it's unusable up front in English?

---

Asha - I say it AH-sha :)

---

Seren - woa never connected this with sarin o_o I wasn't gonna use it cos it sounds so much like Sarah you'd have to correct people all the time.

---

Niko (and Anya, Xander, Theo) - I like short names as first names mostly so I'm always liking nicknames. But I agree that it's not to best idea to use them which is why I like Enya over Anya. Theo and Xander I couldn't use anyway, not with a Leo Alexander already ;)

---

Lavender and Marigold - these are guilty pleasures for me too! I wouldn't use 'em except maybe maybe in the middle.

---

Mali - I just learned about the country just recently but I still can't stop liking the name.

---

Thanks for commenting ^_^
