I love Maxwell, but I'm sort of stymied to explain why. Maybe because it seems to me to be a cross between nerdiness and handsomeness.

I actually quite like Joyce. I happen to appreciate all names that end in the -yce (i.e. Royce) and I also have a think for joy-names. This will always just be incredibly pretty to me, with far more personality than the simple name Joy. I would use it myself honestly.

I do like Christopher that you mentioned too, though it is incredibly over-used. I have a brother with a Chris-name and two brother-in-laws with chris-names and that is just the tip of the Chrises I know,. I will say that I far prefer Christoph, but Christopher is lovely as well.

Finally - Hope. I mean, there is so much meaning and imagery packed into such a simple and sweet sound. I will always think this is a great choice.

Grace- Agree
Hope- I don't love it but I can see that it's short and cute
Madison- For ppl who don't look into popularity, I can understand liking it
Lindsay- Agree
Kate- I actually really like Kate and always have. I guess because it's classic and simple but also modern
Joyce- Agree
Quinn- I don't like it but I can see that, to some, it might sound nice

Maxwell (although I do like Max)- Agree
Liam- I'm not the biggest fan but it does have appeal in that it's not made up but has a new feel to it. Also, it could work on either a boy or a man.
Brandon- I really like the sound of Brandon, I don't know why
Jesse- I love Jesse because I feel that it's underused, especially for a Bible name
Christopher - Sort of agree with you there

I like Kate :-)

I like it because she's short and sweet but sassy. I feel that Kate can be used as a name in her own right and is much stronger than Katie, and more spunky than Katherine.

I also see the appeal of Grace and Hope but I only really like Hope, I think it's sweet if not a little trendy in the middle name spot to instil the message of hopefulness and determination in your child.
