Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.... Here is the last list for May, can't believe Friday is June 1st.
Have Fun.....


Fun!
Here are my thoughts:
James Theodore-Ooh, that's classic & handsome.
Peyton Grace-Ugh.
Burke Seamus-Neat.
Katherine Ava-Pretty.
Justin Roberto-I love Justin.
Caileigh Ryan-Ugh.
Emma Gillian-Cute.
Wilfredo Amaury-NMS.
Joseph Steven-Nice.
Adrian Deborah-That's definitly the masculine spelling.
Kishon Edwin-I like Edwin.
Valentina Elizabeth Lucia-Valentina is nms, but I love the mns.
Alyssa Laniece-I like Alyssa.
Jordan Zachary-Nice.
Giovanni Dante-Cool!
Devan Rose-At least Rose is pretty.
Rosie Madison-Rosie is cute, but too nick-namey.
Lila Gwendolyn-I love that.
Emmaline Arlene-I like Emmaline.
Sean Morris-That's okay.
Jayson Conner-That's nms.
Thanks for sharing.
James Theodore - distinguished
Peyton Grace - I don't mind Peyton, but I'll admit, I subconsciously expected a masculine mn, so I suppose it's male in my mind. LOL
Burke Seamus - before I actually read this list, my eyes zeroed in on Seamus! Love it! Just had to comment for the simple fact that I love seeing this used. ;)
Katherine Ava - classic/popular
Justin Roberto - Justin is one of those J names that comes across as both trendy and dated, at the same time. Like all the little Jennifers and Jordans that seem to be everywhere. I've decided the K-names trend is beginning to spread to the surrounding letters. LOL
Caileigh Ryan - since Caley is also used as a masculine name, I find this an odd combo. Guess that's why they used the contrived, overdone "leigh" ending.
Emma Gillian - my mind jumbled these sounds to get Gemma, which I would have preferred. ;) Still fine though ... just common.
Wilfredo Amaury - I like that. And if he wants something more common, he can always use Will.
Joseph Steven - a bit TOO common for me, but admittedly, I've never much cared for Joseph (know -- and am related to -- far too many LOL)
Adrian Deborah - whoops! This, to me, is like accidentally naming your dd Alexander or Charles. Wonder if it was intentional, or if they really are pronouncing it like Adrienne? At least if it's intentional, and said as Adrian, I can respect it (I'll admit, I quite liked seeing Julianne Moore as "Julian" in Children of Men ). But if they simply misspelled Adrienne it strikes me as decidedly ignorant.
Kishon Edwin - I'm not sure if they've named their child "cushion" or if this is one of those hideous "misspelling of Sean plus a meaningless prefix" type names. Either way, I strongly dislike it. Ps. LOVE Edwin, though! Must be a family name, because it's a far cry stylewise from "Kishon." LOL
Valentina Elizabeth Lucia - works for me.
Alyssa Laniece - apparently, Aunt Somebody named "Laniece" (that's "the niece," btw LOL) Alyssa. Ick and ick.
Jordan Zachary - I still find Jordan a bit dated, but vastly prefer it on a boy.
Giovanni Dante - now THAT is wonderful. ;)
Devan Rose - hey! They forgot the -ie on the end of Devanie. LOL
Rosie Madison - I'd actually like Rose Madison quite a bit. Rosie as a given name ... not so much.
Lila Gwendolyn - admittedly, the "Gwendolyn" misspelling is a pet peeve of mine. Especially when you're talking about a name literally derived from "gwyn/gwen" and "dolen," it seems fairly easy to figure out. Every time I see the -lyn ending substituted, I just have to assume the parents have never actually looked up the name in anything other than a $5 "baby name" book and thought it just WAS yet another -lyn name. Rant over. LOL Lila Gwendolen is an exquisite combo, spelling aside. ;)
Emmaline Arlene - one pet peeve after another. LOL Emmeline/Emeline is a lovely name. Emmaline, on the other hand, just screams "I liked Emma but thought adding -line onto the end would make it sound more unique ... and btw, we call her Emma." ROFLMBO Also, am I the only one that finds EM-e-leen ar-LEEN just a *tad* repetitive?

James Theodore - I like this name.
Peyton Grace - I like this one as well though I would not choose it for me.
Burke Seamus - While these two names are great alone, something about them together doesn't do it for me.
Katherine Ava - Beautiful.
Justin Roberto - I like this name very much, but wonder if Roberto is a nod to familial heritage.
Caileigh Ryan - I'm gagging. While this isn't the worst spelling of Kailey I've ever seen (we once had Caye'Leigh on one of these lists), it's pretty close.
Emma Gillian - This is a nice name
Wilfredo Amaury - Not doing the kid any favors I see . . .
Joseph Steven - Nice but plain.
Adrian Deborah - This is a charming name. Not too popular yet beautiful and flows nicely. This is the best so far.
Kishon Edwin - I surprisingly don't hate this name but it's DEFINITELY nms at all.
Valentina Elizabeth Lucia - I think Valentina is a cute name for a girl. This name is cute, but a mouthful.
Alyssa Laniece - Too much consonance. These names don't go well, and I don't particularly like Laniece.
Jordan Zachary - This is a fine name.
Giovanni Dante - I am partial to Italian names, so this one does it for me :)
Devan Rose - I dislike this spelling of Devin, but this is not a terrible name otherwise.
Rosie Madison - I consider Rosie more of a nn, and I'm overall just not crazy about this name.
Lila Gwendolyn - BEAUTIFUL. Sorry Adrian Deborah, this one takes the cake.
Emmaline Arlene - Again, too much consonance, although I do love Emmaline.
Sean Morris - Not sure about surnames as middle names. It may sound like the child just has a hyphenated last name.
Jayson Conner - I prefer "Jason" and "Conor", but this is not a bad name.
This is an overall pretty good list. Nothing on this list makes me question the sanity of the parents.
