I love Ezekiel, Greta, Ingrid, Mara, Phoebe, and Thea.

Curtis - Really don't like this one. I hate names that end in -us or -is sounds for some reason.
Corwin - Sounds like he'd wrestle crocodiles.
Chase - Sounds like he'd like to shoot deer.
Garrick - I've never heard of this name before. It sounds kind of like redneck meets fanciful fairy. I prefer Merrick.
Hamish - I like this.
Hayden - No. Boring trend name.
Jeremy - I had an old boss named Jeremy (in his thirties still sporting a bowl cut) who I absolutely loathed so he's ruined this name for me.
Elliot - meh.
Ezekiel - I have a little cousin named Ezekiel called Zeke. He's adorable but I don't care for it. It seems straight out of Deliverance to me.
Gage - shockingly awful name.
Malachi - sounds sinister.

Elena - pretty, though I'd never think to use it.
Greta - I like this a lot as a nn for Margaret.
Ingrid - love this name. Don't understand why it's not used more.
Maci - Seems contrived. I prefer Maisie, but I don't even really like it too much.
Mara - I think this is pretty and wonder why it's not used more too.
Meredith - it's my roommate's name. I like her, but I also associate it with mean girls from the 80s.
Maura - I like Mara more but this name has some kind of charm I can't explain.
Phoebe - It's slightly charming on someone else's child or animal, but I don't truly like it. I'm a huge fan of Friends but Phoebe was my least favorite character.

I like Hamish; Jeremy is very stylish; Corwin might be a bit much as a fn, but would make a splendid mn.

---

On the girl side, I like Meredith and would like Dorothea, nn Thea, but not the name alone. Mara is quite nice and a whole lot better than Maura.

Curtis- I'm a bit on and off this name. I haven't been very keen on it for a while
Corwin- Don't like this
Chase- I like the way this sounds, but I wouldn't use it
Garrick- nope. Too videogamey
Hamish- Love this
Hayden- Also love this
Jeremy- meh, quite vanilla.
Elliot- too androgynous for me
Ezekiel- I really like it
Gage- prefer Sage
Malachi- don't like it as much as Ezekiel, but it's still interesting

---

Elena- Always have loved this
Greta- meh, don't like it
Ingrid- I quite like this
Maci- nope. My brain doesn't quite know what to do with it
Mara- I like this but I prefer Amara
Meredith- A favourite of mine
Maura- don't like this
Phoebe- don't like this
Portia- don't like this at all
Thea- I love the way this looks, but not the way it sounds
Bronte- Have liked this ever since I can remember. I don't quite know why

I like

---

Elliot - its on my favourites list at the moment. It just has a nice vibe to it like an Elliot would be a well accomplished and lovely guy

---

I don't care for any of your other boy names sorry, though Hayden is okay

---

From the girls:

---

Elena - I like Lena so Elena is nice too. I imagine a dark haired bookish girl who would go on to be a doctor

---

Meredith

---

Phoebe - One of my favourite girls names ever. I've liked Phoebe since the days I was a teenager watching charmed. DH is starting to warm up to it as he has found a Feebe in his family tree

---

Thea - I love Thea as a stand alone name. I don't feel it needs a nickname. Thea is great

---

Bronte - bit of a guilty pleasure but I like it. I've only ever met one Bronte. She would be 21 now.

Hamish
Jeremy - although I prefer Jeremiah
Elliot
Ezekiel
Malachi
