Happy Birthday, Miss Gabriella! Two is a fun age. :) Here are my thoughts on the names:

Bridget Christina-I love Bridget. Christina is nms, but it's fine as a mn here.

Nathan Neuville-I like Nathan. Hopefully Neuville is a family name, but it's still sort of odd.

Grace Veronica-That's okay.

Sebastian Jose-Jose is nms, but I adore Sebastian.

Diego Andres-Very nice.

Lindey Patricia-I like Patricia a lot.

Gabriela Rose-Lovely. I prefer the two 'ls'.

Tavon Devonte-No.

Julie Geisala-That's okay.

Twins: Chase Francis & Sawyer Lee-Those are cute for twins.

Sienna Elizabeth-Pretty.

Elizabeth Anne-I love it.

Jack Francis-Ooh, so handsome.

Peyton Elin-That's nms.

Randi Jocelyn-Hm, 70s. I don't care for it much.

Dane Calle-That's nms.

Metina Josie-I love Josie as a nn. Metina is nms.

William Richard-I love William.

Phoebe Stevens-I like Phoebe.

Gretchen Odette-Interesting, but Gretchen is nms.

Paige Constance-That's nms.

Jared Daniel-I like Daniel.

Katherine Barbara-I like Katherine.

Jonah Roy-Darling.

Dennis Elliot-Aw, I like that.

Martha Olivia-That's different. It seems like there are a lot of baby boomer names in these CT announcments for some reason.

Alexander Gray-Very nice.

Luke Forster-I love that one.

Brooke Ashlyn-That's nms.

Owen Michael-Very nice.

Hailey Marie-I like this more if it were Hayley.

Jacob William-Nice.

Roman Alfonso-NMS, but it's not bad.

Kaylee Elizabeth-I love Elizabeth. Kaylee is not so good.

Lauren Daisy-I like the Daisy part.

Madeline Pierce-There are also a lot of masculine mns for girls. I love Madeline.

Giovanni Nicolas-So handsome!

Lucas Anthony-I love that.

Luca Richard-I love Luca!

Sabrina Adele-Oh, that's gorgeous.

Jessenia Stephanie-Odd.

Kile Crawford-Kyle Crawford would have been good.

Thanks for sharing.

Because baby boomer names are going to be the next major cycle. And trends ALWAYS start on the coasts and in areas with a high concentration of highly educated parents (like college towns). Give it a few more years, and we'll be seeing these names across the country. I'd put good money on it.

My thoughts on the list...

Bridget Christina- I love Bridget. Christina is okay.

Nathan Neuville- I like Nathan, though I have a bad association. I'm guessing Neuville is a family name. I wouldn't choose it otherwise, but I love family surnames as middle names.

Grace Veronica- Pretty. I'd swap the order though.

Sebastian Jose - I just can't get on the Sebastian bandwagon. It's just too much for me. Jose is nice for someone with hispanic heritage.

Diego Andres- I like Diego a lot. Nice combination

Lindey Patricia- I like Lindy as a nn for Rosalind. On it's own, it's too cutesy for me. Patricia is okay. (I prefer Patrick for a boy)

Gabriela Rose- I've always loved Gabriela. Rose is standard but nice.

Tavon Devonte- Uh, nms.

Julie Geisala- Like Julie (love Julia). I'm guessing (hoping) Geisala is a family name. It's nota great combination.

Twins: Chase Francis & Sawyer Lee- A nice set. They go together well without being matchy. Personally, I hate Chase and am not a huge fan of Lee. LOVE Francis (especially as a middle name) and have a major soft spot for Sawyer.

Sienna Elizabeth- Not a fan of Sienna at all. Elizabeth is standard but classic.

Elizabeth Anne- a bit boring for my taste, but a nice classic that will never go out of style.

Jack Francis- Prefer Jack as a nn for John. But this is very nice. LOVE Francis.

Peyton Elin- Dislike Peyton. I'm hoping Elin is a family name. Not a great flow.

Randi Jocelyn - I'm not a fan of Randi at ALL. I do like Miranda. It's too bad they didn't give her the option of a full first name. Jocelyn is okay. I have a terrible association, so it's hard to look past that.

Dane Calle- Eh, okay. Dane is fine but nothing great. I'm unfamiliar with Calle.

Metina Josie- Not a fan of Metina. Love Josephine nn Josie, but not Josie on its own.

William Richard- I love William (it's perpetually in my top five). Richard is nms.

Phoebe Stevens- I like Phoebe a lot. I'm guessing Stevens is a family name, in which case I like it. Nice combination.

Gretchen Odette- Like Gretched a lot. Odette is nms.

Paige Constance- I like Paige for someone else. Constance is my favorite of the virtue names.

Jared Daniel- okay

Katherine Barbara-I love Katherine (though I generally prefer Catherine). Barbara is nms but fine.

Jonah Roy- "and the whale". I can't get past that association. I prefer Jonas. Roy is nms.

Dennis Elliot - not a fan of Dennis. Love Elliot.

Martha Olivia- I've never liked Martha (though I want to). Love Olivia despite it's popularity.

Alexander Gray- sick to death of the "alex" names. Gray is nice (though I prefer it if it's a family name). This is a very nice combination.

Luke Forster- Luke is the new Jacob. It's everywhere. I like it a lot, but it's deceptively popular. I'm guessing Forster is a family name. Lovely combination.

Brooke Ashlyn- Ashlyn makes me want to scream. Aisling is so beautiful, why must people ruin it? Brooke is nice. I'd flip the order for a better flow. Aisling Brooke would be lovely.

Owen Michael- standard but nice

Hailey Marie- Hailey/Bailey/Kaylee/blah/blah/blah. They all blur together in my head.

Jacob William- In a vacuum, I love this. But the intense popularity makes me cringe.

Roman Alfonso- Roman is...okay. I'd prefer Ronan or Rowan. I don't like Alfonso at all.

Kaylee Elizabeth- see my Hailey comment. Elizabeth is standard but nice.

Lauren Daisy- Lauren is popular but pretty. Daisy is cute.

Madeline Pierce- I love Madeline, despite the popularity of Madison, et al. I'm guessing Pierce is a family name, which is the ONLY case I like it. (Otherwise it's one of my most hated names. Right along with Spear, Talon, Blade, Stab, Murder...um, etc.)

Giovanni Nicolas- nice

Lucas Anthony- Another Lucas/Luke. Nice combination though.

Luca Richard- Another Lucas/Luke/Luca. I adore Luca, though I'd never use it. Not a fan of Richard.

Sabrina Adele- Sabrina is okay. Love Adele. Very nice combination.

Jessenia Stephanie- huh? Jessenia looks totally made up. Stephanie is so not ready for a come back.

Kile Crawford- oh no! I figured out where all the extra Ys in Madysyn and Aydyn are coming from -- they're stolen from names that legitimately need them! Seriously, why can't people spell? It's not hard. I like Crawford a lot, assuming it's a family name.
