Okay! Here are my thoughts:

Rylei Justyce- How awful is this!?! I'm not even sure of gender (password needed for pic)-That's quite awful.

Zaley-What?

Lilyanna Caroline-Hm, I like this in theory. I'd much prefer Liliana or just Lily w/Anna & Caroline being the mns.

Darion-That's kind of nice.

Shellbie-Blech.

Killian Steele-That's nms, but it's interesting.

Tre'zarre Jonathan-Oh gosh, I hope that they call him by his mn.

Crosbie Grace-Eek.

Parker Reid-Nice

Aidan Christopher-Nice.

Madison Michelle-Oih.

Zachary-Nice.

Ava Rose-Super popular, but it's still pretty.

Moriah Esther-That's nms, although it's different.

Savannah Paige-That's not.

Landon Bryce-Not bad.

Daniel Reese-I like that.

Reece Malone-I'm sure this is a girl, but I like Reece for a boy.

Taylor Leeann-That's nms.

Jameson Cordell-Eh.

Damien Farris-How could you do Damien?

Gavin Alexander-Wow, I love that.

Howard Barkley-Howard might be fun to see on a little guy.

Alexandra Grace-That's okay.

Evan Ray-I like Evan.

Asya Alexandrea-Hm.

Cashaey Allure-What?

Zachary David-Handsome.

Makena Johnson-No.

Matthew Noah-I love that.

William Robert-Ooh, same as above.

Richard Lee Paul-Eh...I like Paul.

Michala Anne-No.

Kendra Lynne-NMS.

Kelan Sean-No.

Evan Michael-Nice.

Thanks for sharing.

Zaley -- not sure what to make of this. Looks like Hailey with a Z, and reminds me of the jewelry store
Killian Steele -- I've loved Killian for years (although I slightly prefer the Cillian or Cilian spellings). Steele is a bit too much, however ... very soap-opera/adult-film-star
Crosbie Grace -- Crosbie has potential if it's a family name, but it just looks off here, and on first glance I thought it was a boy
Parker Reid -- the Rs run into one another, but I like the name otherwise
Aidan Christopher -- popular, but nice
Madison Michelle -- trendy, dated and alliterative. No thanks.
Zachary -- I know more "Zacks" than Aidans ... very overdone in my area
Ava Rose -- also rather popular, even as an overall combo, but nice
Moriah Esther -- that's fine
Savannah Paige -- cheap and trendy, at least in my area
Landon Bryce -- I like that
Daniel Reese -- a safe, classic choice, although I'd prefer Rhys
Reece Malone -- ditto the Rhys spelling comment (I'd assume boy here)
Taylor Leeann -- this doesn't flow at all, and the -lor/Lee- part is reminiscent of a yodel Not classy in the least
Jameson Cordell -- I actually like that quite a bit
Damien Farris -- this is really nice too, although I'd prefer Damian Ferris (unless it's a family name)
Gavin Alexander -- very nice
Howard Barkley -- I knew the sweetest guy named Howard (went by Howie), so I like this, although Barkley still reminds me of the dog on Sesame Street
Alexandra Grace -- nms, but fine (Grace is a filler mn, and the Alex- names are on their way to becoming filler fns, if that's possible)
Evan Ray -- Evan's nice. Ray's nms, but I'm guessing it's a family name
Zachary David -- another Zachary ...
Matthew Noah -- I know a Noah Matthew (or two) ... shows you how unusual that combo is ;)
William Robert -- a safe bet. William is classic.
Richard Lee Paul -- double mns containing Lee always make me think "assassin"
Kendra Lynne -- Kendra's nice. I could do without the filler "Lynne"
Evan Michael -- prefer this to Ray

Potentially fine, but poorly spelled:
Lilyanna Caroline -- I agree ... Liliana or Lily Anna would be better
Darion -- Darian or Darien would have been great
Shellbie -- what?!
Asya Alexandrea -- valid names, but Asya looks like "assya," with a short A, or a trendy form of Asia
Makena Johnson -- I know "Makena" is a legit name, but I'd bet anything they were going for a trendy misspelling of McKenna (and if not, the similarity is unfortunate)
Michala Anne -- still Michaela, or are they going for Mick-ah-la?
Kelan Sean -- is this Keelan or Kellan??

The following fall under "what the heck were they thinking!?" ... enough said LOL:
Rylei Justyce -- you're right ... this one takes the cake. Horrid!
Tre'zarre Jonathan -- Tre-zarre, or simply bizarre?
Cashaey Allure -- yes, some cash-ay would be alluring, but I wouldn't name my child that in hopes of getting some LOL

Thanks for sharing!

A lot of people still believe that young boys are destined to become businessmen and need serious names while young girls may be models, actresses, or mothers and can be more creative.

I am that way with names, boys have to be more normal than girls. I can go a lot farther with a girls name, boy sounding, unique etc. The reason for me is I want a boy name to be a good strong eventually "career" name. When you go more unique sometimes is sounds feminine etc.. For girls, I think you can do so much more, even for a career, just anything sounds cute for a girl! I dunno, just my opinion!
