BOYS
I really like Holden, your first choice. I like a lot of your choices actually. My favourites are Ewan and Luca. Tristan is a bit too feminine for me and Jody, Eden, Madison and Kelly are was too feminine for my likings. Logan is nice, but getting popular. I really like Kellen, although prefer it spelt Kellin. It sounds nice. Brayden is way too popular with all the -ayden names right now.

GIRLS
I don't tend to like unisex names, so most of your choices are just not my style. I do like Mason though, have you ever thought of Grayson/Gracin? I think Hailey is absolutely beautiful- so sweet. I also like Holly quite a bit, its more unusual. Meredith is very pretty, and I prefer Alexandra as a first name. Lindsay I like as well. My favourites are Hailey, Charlotte, Meredith, and Olivia. Price and Zane are just weird to me. Micah is nice on a boy, but I have never seen it used on a girl. I think London sounds very snobby and I don't like the pronunciation of Joelle. Morgan is okay. I have always like Jaime. Mackenzie is way too popular right now. Some of these unisex names- Dustin, Chance, Chase, Blake, Sawyer, etc. just seem weird on a girl. OO I just noticed Brooke, I really love that name!

I love a lot of your names. I went ahead and gave you my reaction to each and then my favorites, etc. For names that were listed and the boys and girls list, I just gave my reaction once (on the boys list because it was first)


BOYS:


Holden - I LOVE this name and I love the literary reference. It's a name I keep coming back to even though it doesn't really fit my normal naming style.
Raleigh - well, I live right outside Raleigh, NC so to me this is a city not a person. But if I didn't live here, I think I would like it. I would definitely like it as a middle name.
Noah -- love Noah, always have. It went through a really popular phase, but I don't think it's as bad anymore.
Ewan - Love it.
Tristan -- I've never been a fan of Tristan. I think it's because I don't like Brad Pitt and didn't like Legends of the Fall. And then right after that movie came out, it seemed like there were a MILLION little Tristans everywhere I went and I still haven't gotten past that.
Parker -- Not my favorite from the list, but I like it.
Jody - I LOVE Jody for a boy and I never hear it at all any more.
Kelly -- ditto Jody. I prefer Kelly on a boy actually, rather than a girl. I know a couple of male Kellys and am a huge fan of this name.
Brody -- I like it, but not as much as many of your others. This feels a bit like a soap opera name to me.
Jett -- Not a fan of this one. No particular reason, I just don't like it very much.
Ash - I don't like this one either. First because it doesn't feel like a whole name - Asher, Ashley I like either but not just Ash - and also Ash is the main character in the pokemon series of games/books/movies/tv shows/etc and I really hate pokemon (ie I am sick of it due my eight year old's two-year obsession)
Avery -- I like Avery, though not as much as many of your other choices
Schuyler - I like this one too though I think a lot of people will mispronounce/misspell it.
Austin - I like Austin, but it all of the western place names (Dakota, Austin, Cheyenne, etc) seem trendy to me.
Chase - Okay, not a favorite. I'd like it better as a middle name
Weston - love it, especially with the nn Wes.
Ryder - Okay
Preston - this one seems a little pretentious
Pace

To be honest, many of these names seem like they could be confusing regarding gender. I know that names like Jody, Eden, Madison and Kelly may be used for boy names, but they are very feminine to me. I prefer names that are not trendy with spelling, too. Names like Austyn and Jaidyn just seem made up. I am going to have to vote for Aaron and Meredith. I think your child will thank you.

My favorites of your boy choices are: Weston, Preston, Kellen, Brayden (My FAVORITE), And Aaron.

For girls: (Keep in mind I am not a fan of boys names on girls so that is why you don't see any of those on here...) Lindsay, Brooke, Rylyn (love this one!), Lacey, Meredith, and my favorite is Joelle. We have that name on our list if we ever have a girl!

On both lists, there are more names that I loke, but I just listed my favorites. Quite a list with some really good names on there!
