---

I saw Peggy, Philippa, Idris and Taliesin with great pleasure.

---

I still can't quite believe Lingo, Matron, Queenova, Tracy-Trust, Corazon (m), Hawker, Jonesmith and Leek actually happened. Thank you for broadening my mind.

---

Names I'm happy to see:

... Yeah that's all...

---

Seriously WTF names (not including insane spellings, won't even go there):

---

Asterix
Bambi
Lotus
Queenova- because queen is not excessive enough apparently
Za'Quiesha

---

Atreyu- can't help but be reminded of the metal band of the same name
Fury
Hannibal
Harlequin
Leek- um, the vegetable or what happens when you laugh too hard and pee a little? Both great associations of course
Theophile- sounds disturbing. At least he can go by Theo
Trust- um why does this feature twice? it should never feature at all.
Valerian- this actually made me laugh.

---

The rest are just hideous spellings of normal names or slightly weird mash-ups that aren't horribly offensive just silly.

---

This is, as you say, such an interesting list!

---

I like (as in find good-interesting but would most probably not use myself):

---

Alba
Asterix
Cleora
Daenerys
Edwina
Hermione
Lucienne
Maud (prefer Maude)
Ngaire
Olympia
Peggy
Philippa
Ruby-Ethel
Safyre
Siri (aside from the Apple connection, I think this is a cool name)
Sophia-Issabella
Sibyl
Taite (prefer Tate)
Xanthe

---

Caius
Cassian
Clement
Cyril
Fenrir
Harlow
Idris
Ignatius
Lars
Leander
Oswald
Percival
Valerian
Winston

---

I've always had a gp liking for Alaric - it's bold and handsome
Never expected to see an Enid or a Sybil but they're breaths of fresh air ...
What crazy kr8iviT on that list. Priceless. I particularly enjoyed Raytheon and Rocket ...

I like Xanthe and Caius.

No offence but the majority of these names are straight up stupid to be blunt. Instead of stating my opinion on each one with this extensive list, I will instead salvage the good or practical ones. Though there won't be many at all.

---

Amaia
Bernadette (not a fav but practical)
Beverley-Anne (not a fav. Very old fashion but practical
Doris (old fashion but a bit of a GPN for me)
Dwight (MALE...)
Enid
Lois
Meadow
Parker (MALE)
Peggy
Roisin-Ruby
Rosalia
Ruby-Ethel
Schylar (boy. Especially with this original spelling)
Sophia-Issabella (decent names. Silly combo)
Sutton
Taytum (Tatum. Male)
Alaric
Arian
Barry
Bartholomew
Brolin (surname)
Caleb-Channing (Caleb is great)
Cassian (fictional character-yes)
Ferdinand

Oooh, I love posts like these, yum, yum. ;)
Some comments:

---

Alba - not all that unusual here.
Asterix - poor kid!
Bambi - yuck, stripper name.
Bernadette - very nice.
Blendin - what IS this? Blending?
Cannentia - sounds like a disease. "A bad case of Cannentia."
Daenerys - well, it's better than Khaleesi...
Despina - I know it's Greek, but it makes me think of "despair", "despite" or "the spine".
Dorcas - ouch, not good in an English-speaking country.
Dwight - on a girl!?
Eviahna-Trinity - God, how pretentious.
Finnhamn - sounds like it would be a place in Sweden or Finland. "Finnish harbour" it means in Swedish.
Ia - I know a woman called Ia (pr. EE-ah); her father is a Greek-Orthodox priest and apparently named her after the Greek word for Violet...? (They are not Greek, though, they are from Finland.)
Lingo - people are gonna scream this like they scream "bingo!"
Liriel - cute.
Livvy-Jaie - ick. Why not Olivia Jay instead?
Loca - no...no... please...LOCA!? "Mad" in Spanish!?
Lucienne - cute.
Magenta - like Rocky Horror Picture Show? It's actually rather nice.
Makenzee-Lee - eeee!
Matron - what!?
Meadow - I wish I could like this, but all I can think of is dairy products.
Miami - tacky.
Miracle - I prefer Milagros.
Neko - I wonder if they like Neko Case? And if they know that this is the Japanese word for cat?
Odelinda - I only want to go "oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly what a day".
Pepper - better as a nn.
Philomena - beautiful.
Princess - sickly-sweet.
Princey - ditto.
Queen - ditto.
Queenova - EUGH!
Raennielle - poor kid, what if she turns out to be dyslexic?
Rejoice - too religious.
Saraid - interesting.
Secure - silly.
Shining - is she made of silver, or what?
Siri - cute!
Smiley - no, no, no, no....God, no...
Snow - I prefer Winter.
Sophia-Issabella - Sophia Isabella would be cute.
Te'a - huh?
Tracy-Trust - this is just so silly.
Wellesandra - "well, is Sandra?"
Za'Quiesha - monkey at the keypad.

---

Alhwynne - because we just could't spell it Alvin!
Arian - at least it's not Aryan...

---

BOYS: Alaric, Basil, Cassian, Channing, Clancy, Ferdinand, Fitzroy, Gideon*, Harlow, Japheth, Leander, Leslie, Lindsay, Neville, Oswald, Percival, Valerian, Winston

The rest are either too mispelled for my tastes, decent virtue names or just NMS.
