Shelton Vance (big sisters are Shey, Shawna, and Shelbie) -- I liked this combo until I got to the sib names LOL

Chloe Nicole -- Chloe is fine, Nicole is dated and filler, and the Chlo- and -cole sounds are MUCH too similar to pair these two

Grant Matthew -- very nice

Anna Lynne -- Anna is sweet, but I would have gone with Annelien, myself, since this sounds so much like one name (unless it IS a double name, then I take it back LOL). Either way, the "Lynne" spelling seems superfluous.

Asher Reegan -- Asher is a great boy name, but the "Reegan" misspelling leads me to believe this might actually be a girl (isn't it sad when current naming trends seem to imply that women as a whole are inherently poor spellers? We can't even spell our own names correctly. Sigh).

Roxane Amy -- that's fine, though Amy is dated

Tyler Patrick -- also fine, but I really thought Tyler was on the way out by now

Shelton Robert -- Shelton's popular there, huh? ;) Again, I really like this ... even more since he doesn't have sibs named Shirley, Sharon, Shamus and Shaniqua! ROFL

Tanner Charles -- I can never get past the "hide tanner" meaning of this one, but I suppose it works in Houston just fine. ;)

Jaxon Bray -- Jackson is misspelled, and doesn't a donkey bray?? Also, if you really want a laugh, Webster's traces the etymology of Bray back to the Old Irish "braigid," which literally translates to "he breaks wind." Nice, well-thought-out name choice there. LMAO

Chase Michael -- why would I want to chase Michael? Sorry, not purposefully being negative (I like a lot of the first few, remember? LOL), but I never understood using a verb like "chase" as a given name.

Zy'Riya La'Shay -- A'Name No'Way!!!!!!!! Zaria is a valid name, as is Shea. Why in the world would anyone think misspelling both, and adding some random prefix and punctuation could possibly make it look BETTER? This is horrible.

Ethan Leander -- the -an sounds in both names is a bit repetitive, but I still like both. ;)

Daivan D'shawn -- I've no clue what "Daivan" is supposed to be. Davin? Devin? Dave-ann??? And per the above comments concerning random prefixes and punctuation, simply Shawn would have sufficed. Davin Shawn is a real name. Fine. Devin Sean, even better. Dave Ann Shawn ... well, ok, that's just weird, but I didn't name him. ;)

Cali Sage -- sounds like the type of sage you'd find in California. Calla Sage would have been a bit much, but at least a real name. Calista Sage, nn Cali, would have been perfect.

Caleb Ryan -- nice

Salma Victoria -- Salma is lovely! I wouldn't have used a mn also ending in -a, but I'm not complaining at this point. Thumbs up. LOL

Keegan (nmn listed) -- I like Keegan (and love simply Egan even more). Nice. ;)

Thanks for sharing.

Okay! Here are my thoughts:

Shelton Vance (big sisters are Shey, Shawna, and Shelbie)-I don't really mind this comibination, although neither of the names are my favorites. At least it's different. The sib set is way too much though.

Chloe Nicole-that's nms, but it's not awful.

Grant Matthew-Ooh, very dashing.

Anna Lynne-I really like Anna.

Asher Reegan-That's okay, but nms.

Roxane Amy-That doesn't flow the best, but they're two perfectly okay names. I like the nn Roxy a lot.

Tyler Patrick-That's nice.

Shelton Robert-I'm completly confused that there are two Sheltons, LOL. I like this one better.

Tanner Charles-I like that.

Jaxon Bray-No.

Chase Michael-Very nice.

Zy'Riya La'Shay-What?

Ethan Leander-That's okay. Leander is definitly interesting.

Daivan D'shawn-No.

Cali Sage-Cali is very sweet as a nn for Calista.

Caleb Ryan-Nice.

Salma Victoria-That Victoria part is pretty.

Keegan (nmn listed)-That's alright.

Thanks!
