HelpRe: Girls Baby Names
in reply to a message by allylomas12
It seems you have a taste for mixing classic with trendy. I have listed my thoughts below:
Ava Grace - Standard. I give it a 7/10 since it is a solid choice, but predictable. I like Ave far more than most popular names right now, so it gets a little bonus points for that... and that fact that it is simple and sweet. However, the combo is far f rom unique and I guarantee that a lot of girls named Ava probably also have the middle name Grace. Decent choice, but nothing to awe at.
Marie Annabelle - Love Marie. I wish it was used more in the first spot, so kudos on that. I actually have it on my short list too. Anabelle bring the classy French Marie to a more country name though. I like Annabelle in the middle bc no one will feel the need to shorten it, but would have preferred something like Marie Adelaide or Marie Anneliese, etc. That said, I give it a 9/10 since Marie classes the name up, and is not too common right now, and gives Annabelle a chance to shine as a whole instead of with nicknames.
Julie Charlotte - Sounds a bit incomplete to me. Julia Charlotte would flow a lot better. I do like Julie, but it's a ho-hum combination. Carlotta Julie would have perked my interest though. I give it a 6/10 because it is usable, but boring IMO. That said, Julie would be refreshing so don't discount it.
Nadine Jennifer - Nadine is on my list and I find it refreshinga nd uncommon and fanciful. Love it. Jennifer is so 90s (and every other year) that it brings poor Nadine down. I really hate to diss on the name... but choose a different middle so that Nadine can shine in all it's French glory. 8/10 because of Nadine only.
Chloe Diana - Unexpected pairing, I will give it that. Chloe was the name of my mom's dog, so I can't give the name a fair critique. I like Diana though. Diana Chloe would flow tons better.
Isabella Rose - Pretty. popular, but pretty. I do like Isabella. 8/10 because it is a solid name, but loses two point for the same reason that Ava Grace lost them... this name combo is on several children already.
Violet Robyn - Love it! (spelled Violet Robin). I think Violet has a lot of quirky class, it is cutesy but can be oh-so-adult. Robin is a secret love of mine, so I like the pairing. I can't get behind using y instead of i in almost any case, so I guess my tastes just differ from yours.
Poppy Delilah - Sounds very UK to me. I imagine it would be popular over there, but just don't know. Poppy is quirky too, and I like it. I think it would be a unique choice here in the States. I think Delilah sounds lovely and is a beautiful name, but I can't get the biblical connotations out of my head. However, if you are not entranched in biblical history - I think it could work, and it flows very nicely. 6/10 for me and 8/10 for you.
Destiny Louise - Hmm. Interesting. I would not have paired these two. But Louise brings Destinay to a legit level while Destiny makes Louise more interesting. I think I like this name a lot. I can't decide if it sounds upper class or trashy - and I like that. If I think about it, I would prefer Desiree Louise, but this works. 7/10 since it's not the greatest, but it flows well and is not the norm.
Ayesha Eve - Big juxtaposition of opposites. Clashing religions and cultures. Can't get behind it. Ayesha is very culture specific and Eve is religious. Both names are lovely (I really like them), but together they are confusing. Sorry!
Evelynn Jane - Adorable. I am of the vein that still loves Jane, so this just works for me. It does sound just a tad hispter, but I still like it. Evelyn is a very pretty name and Jane rounds it out nicely. 9/10.
Oceana (Oh-Shee-Ana) Valerie - I would likely say this O-shanna, but I like it. It's unexpected, quirky, natury and grounded in Valerie... which is not classic but sounds like it it. I like it. 8/10 since I wouldn't use it, but I would like to meet someone who did.
Brooklynn Danielle - Love Danielle. I really do. I wish people would forget about it so that I could use it... and I might even use it despite its popularity. It is just so pretty. Brooklynn has too many letters for me and takes away from the prettiness of Danielle. However, the name as a whole does have a tough-girl vibe, so if you are going for that, you win. I like Brooke better though. Daniela Brooke would great.
Aya Makayla - The sounds repeat. It rhymes. I would try again on this one, sorry.
Lyndsey Matilda - Flip the names and I would adore it. As is, I don't mind it. Again, I like Lindsey better, but that is my tastes. This flows well, is strong and not as common as it looks. This name fits right in and I like it (with an 'i').
Rachel Elizabeth - Standard, Classy, cool. Can't go wrong. 9/10 for solidness.
Esmeralda Noelle - This is the kind of name I would use! I sincerely like it. Noelle and Esmeralda are on my list. It has teh most personality of all the names on your list and is still cute for a child. Esmeralda is a strong name, so I would shy away if you don't have any latin or Filipino blood though.
Scarlett Mae - Hmm. seems a bit standard too, but I like it. Mae is up for debate with me (as I prefer May, but most others prefer Mae). I would say that I like this name, but it is nothing I would remember to brag about, if that makes sense. It's stronger than a lot of the names on the list, but not the most memorable.
Amy Jodie - Sounds repeat, making it sound incomplete. Amy Jodine or Amelia Jodie would round it out. If you are not into variations, this name might not work. Sorry.
Willow Ingrid - Ah! Love it. Ingrid Willow would be amazing, but even as is, I still enjoy it. I think this is my fav of the list. Ah, so refreshing to read after all of the expected names above. This one. Use this one.
Alexandria Harmony - Like this too! Harmony is a real fav of mine, and I love when it is used. Alexandria is not as common as it used to be (though this ending is the most trendy right now). I think it's almost mismatched, which makes it cute. Like it.
Dawn Iris - I would switch the names to Iris Dawn personally, but I like it this way. Dawn is not used very often (nor is Iris), but they are both sweet and work well on all ages. The flow is not that great, but the unique-ness of the combo helps. 7/10 for flow, but prettiness.
Adelynn Mya - Love the sound, but I find the spelling bothersome. I would go back to the drawing board on spelling for this one, but keep the name as it is strong, lovely and cute for a child. Very pretty.
Ava Grace - Standard. I give it a 7/10 since it is a solid choice, but predictable. I like Ave far more than most popular names right now, so it gets a little bonus points for that... and that fact that it is simple and sweet. However, the combo is far f rom unique and I guarantee that a lot of girls named Ava probably also have the middle name Grace. Decent choice, but nothing to awe at.

Eep, I mispelled a ton, and the system logged my out while typing so I can't fix the errors. Sorry to all that would be super annoyed by the terrible grammer and spelling above!
