BOYS
Lance- I like this, its a strong and underused name
Caleb- Love this one, so strong and masculine
Wade- again, love this. Great choices so far!
Braden- Hmm.. this one is too trendy. Not my favourite and don't like this spelling
Cameron- Nice, but not my favourite. Going unisex as well (something to think about)
Channing- hmm, okay.
Clint- Just doesn't sound good to me
Curtis- Sweet
Rylie- This spelling looks feminine. Riley is better I think.
FAVES
#1) Wade
#2) Lance
#3) Caleb

GIRLS
Mia- Very nice, so sweet
Abigail- Loved it, but getting SO unbelieveably popular. I'm tired of hearing it
Adina- okay
Allayna- Love this name, but not the spelling. Prefer Elena or Alaina
Anastacia- Cute. Prefer spelling Anastasia
Carly- Very sweet and feminine
Cecelia- LOVE this, so classy and strong
Lilian- cute, but Lily is getting popular
Kimber- too trendy, don't like this
FAVES
#1) Cecelia
#2) Allayna (but definetly not this spelling!)
#3) Mia
#4) Carly - maybe Caroline nn Carly?

The only one of your boy names I like is Lance - possibly b/c there was a Lance in my HS (a senior when I was a freshman) and he was HOT!!!
Your girls names is between Mia and Cecilia. I think Cecilia is cute b/c it's not very popular and you could call her CeCe for short.

Hi,

Here are my humble opinions on each name:

LANCE-sounds like on old man to me, but I like Lansing OK
CALEB-I have never liked this at all, but there's nothing wrong with it
WADE-this is probably my fave from the list
BRADEN-my least favorite because it's so, so trendy (like Aiden, Caden, Jaden...)
CAMERON-fine, but trendy
CHANNING-sounds femenine to me
CLINT-makes me think of a female anatomical part, sorry
CURTIS-I have a negative association with this name
RYLIE-no way, this is unbelievably trendy for both genders

MIA-love this
ABIGAIL-too common & trendy
ADINA-fine, I consider this to be a Jewish name
ALLAYNA-fine if spelled Alaina
ANASTACIA-fine if spelled Anastasia
CARLY-cute, maybe too cute for an adult
CECELIA-nice & classy
LILIAN-nice
KIMBER-definitely not!

Good luck!

BOYS: Top choice: Caleb

Rylie is very popular for girls - especially this spelling

GIRLS: Top choices: Mia, Abigail

I'd simplify the spelling of Allayna - not sure how to pronounce it.

Aw, I can really only pick one! Well, okay. I'll just comment on each one first, & take it from there. Here we go...

LANCE-This really is nms, but it's okay. It just seems sort of blah to me.

CALEB-That's alright, but not too exciting. I'm hearing a lot of them lately.

WADE-I like this one. It sounds fresh & cool.

BRADEN-Ugh, no. They're everywhere & spelled everywhere.

CAMERON-That's fine. It's not my favourite, but it's fine. It's also sort of unisex.

CHANNING-I like Chandler, but this one not so much.

CLINT-This is neat. It has a simalar cowboyish feel to Wade, but Wade is not associated w/a president. (Even though I liked Clinton!)

CURTIS-This is pretty cute.

RYLIE-I really like Riley or Reilly for a boy, but that spelling is goofy. It's used way too much for girls these days anyway.

I think that my favourite here would be Wade, but it's a close call.

MIA-I love this one.

ABIGAIL-That's okay. A tad over done.

ADINA-Ooh, that's kind of refreshing.

ALLAYNA-That spelling is ridiculous, sorry.

ANASTACIA-That's interesting, but it's nms.

CARLY-Blech.

CECELIA-That's lovely. I also really like Celia on it's own.

LILIAN-I love this, but prefer Lillian. It is awfully common though.

KIMBER-Yuck.

Mia is probably my favourite from this list, but there are a lot of nice ones.

Hope this helps!

I like your list. I only know one Channing and it's a girl. I love it though. And for a girl I like Kimber (I have a Kimber but her full name is Kimberlin). I also like Curtis for a boy but spelled with a K (Kurtis). Good luck!
