Neat. ;)

Lina -- this was my g-grandmother's name

Doon - boy -- my first thought was Lorna (hehe)

Clary - Woman -- sounds like a nn someone would use for Clara

Natty - man -- ditto. Nn for Nathan(iel)

Ravenet - man -- now that's different. LOL Sounds like a feminization of Raven

Annisette -- interesting, but I could see this (there are lots of Ann- names out there, KWIM?)

Poppy - little girl -- I've heard this much more recently. Fits with Lily, Rose, Daisy, etc.

Orly- girl -- I'd think it a nn for Orla, which I love

Vindie - reminds me of the Croc Hunter's dd's name

Farlo - man -- I like that one ;)

Felinia - woman -- that works too, though I prefer the simpler Fallon or Falline.

Allis - woman -- LOVE this ... if it were spelled Alice (why mess with that? )

Lina- Beautiful, love this name. I do prefer the Lena spelling.

Doon - I think it would work as a mn, does have a strong sound to it

Clary - pretty, but better as a cute nn for Clara/Claire

Natty - dislike this, reminds me of ratty

Ravenet - nms

Annisette- pretty

Poppy - love this! very spunky

Orly- like it as a nn for Orlando on a boy, but not as a full name and not on a girl

Vindie - nms, also seems nicknamey

Farlo - hmm.. interesting

Felinia - pretty, but different

Allis - prefer Alice

Hi
I just wanted to tell you that I'm not being mean, I'm just being honest.

Lina- Nice nn for Lindsay/Lindsey

Doon - boy- hate it

Clary - Woman- sounds like some made up name

Natty - man- better as a nn for Nathan

Ravenet - man- read clary's comment

Annisette- Now, that's the name I like from this list. Unique yet so pretty.

Poppy - little girl- Not my style at all.

Orly- girl- read Poppy's commen

Vindie - girl- Read Clary and Ravenet's comment

Farlo - man- I absolutely suggest you to not use this name for your little one or otherwise he'll end up being called Mister Fartlo by meanies from school.

Felinia - woman- Eh. It's okay.

Allis - woman- I prefer Allison over this.

Hi

Oh! My mistake. I love Annisette though.

Speaking of names, have you found a name for your little guy yet?

Hi

Charile! How cute! I really love it. Is it short for Charles or are you just going for Charile?

I know there's a lot of debate about grown up vs cutesy names but I have a hard time naming my child something I'll never call them.

Hi

Quite interesting. I think Charile is a good name for all ages so no worries there!
