Thanks for sharing. Sunny Jane sounds kinda cutesy. My mom changed her name from Cindy to Cyndee in HS.

Steven Antonio - okay, kind of an odd mix though

Sunny Jane - too happy for my taste

Ashley Elizabeth - pretty; I was reading birth announcements in my area yesterday and saw the same combination

Benjamin Albert - it's alright; a little old fashioned

Caitlin Grace - eh, okay. A bit tired of both these names.

Brooke Ashley - pretty

Alejandro Rafael - okay

Melany Shalayna - odd spelling for Melanie; doesn't flow well

Gregory Samuel - nice

Anna Christine - pretty

Connor Gregory - like this one

Christopher Efrain - not bad

Madeline Margaret - too many "m's for me

Cyndee Addyson - Cindy is interesting; hate the 'y' spellings on both names

Drew Arthur - okay; not a fan of Arthur but it works as a middle name

Corinne Cheryl - love Corinne, but not with Cheryl

Kelsie Leigh - I like Kelsey but not with Leigh; too matchy

Vincent Frank - nice

Carla Jeanine - okay

I didn't comment on ones that I am OK with...

Sunny Jane - NMS at all. What if she isn't a "sunny" child or adult?

Ashley Elizabeth -- Not my favorite first name, but I like it with Elizabeth.

Caitlin Grace -- She will forever be spelling Caitlin (c or k? ait or ate? yn or in?)... at least this is the correct (standard) Irish spelling

Brooke Ashley -- Sorta trendy, but OK

Melany Shalayna -- Too many ys. Is the second name a cross between Shayna and Alaina?

Cyndee Addyson -- Too many ys... what is wrong with Cindy Addison?

Drew Arthur -- I would've preferred Andrew Arthur.

Kelsie Leigh -- to many "ee" sounds together. Again, spelling issues with Kelsey/Kelsie/Kelsee.

Steven Antonio ~nice but not uncommon. Very "tame" to me. Nothing really stand-out-ish about it. But nice.

Sunny Jane ~sounds a little juvenile and unintelligent to me.

Ashley Elizabeth ~Fine but horribly dull.

Benjamin Albert ~fine. I like Benjamin, not crazya bout Albert.

Caitlin Grace ~eh, it's okay. Not a big fan of Caitlin but the name is nice enough.

Brooke Ashley ~rivals Ashley Elizabeth on the dull-o-meter. Both are VERY common.

Alejandro Rafael ~a little TOO "daunting" to me. I like both names on their own, but not together.

Melany Shalayna ~looks misspelled and unintelligent.

Gregory Samuel ~eh, it's okay. Again, a fine name, but nothing that really stands out.

Anna Christine ~another pleasant-sounding but boring name.

Connor Gregory ~it's okay. Again, nothing I've never heard before.

Christopher Efrain ~Efrain?!?!? Um, I don't think so... looks too much like "refrain", which does NOT work as a name for a child...

Madeline Margaret ~not a fan of alliteration. Or Margaret. Madeline is nice, but still common.

Cyndee Addyson ~looks like it was chosen by someone with a low reading level.

Drew Arthur ~don't like Drew as the given name. It's a nickname. And the 1-syllable along with Arthur reminds me of Bea Arthur, the actress, lol... yuck.

Corinne Cheryl ~it's okay. NMS.

Kelsie Leigh ~don't like Kelsey (and therefore, Kelsie) as a name for a girl. It's a last name to me.

Vincent Frank ~fine but not unheard of.

Carla Jeanine ~it's okay...

This list rarely disapoints. Here are my thoughts:

Steven Antonio-That's not bad.

Sunny Jane-So so cute. I'd prefer Sunny as a nn, but Sunny Jane is still adorable.

Ashley Elizabeth-That's okay. I love Elizabeth.

Benjamin Albert-Fantastic.

Caitlin Grace-I like Caitlin. Both of these names are getting old, but it's not awful.

Brooke Ashley-Eh.

Alejandro Rafael-I like Rafael a lot.

Melany Shalayna-What the heck is Shalayna? Melanie spelled this way would have been great.

Gregory Samuel-Nice.

Anna Christine-I really like Anna.

Connor Gregory-That's okay.

Christopher Efrain-That's alright.

Madeline Margaret-I love Madeline.

Cyndee Addyson-Ooh, yikes.

Drew Arthur-I love it.

Corinne Cheryl-Hm, 70s.

Kelsie Leigh-That's nms.

Vincent Frank-Nice.

Carla Jeanine-There are always baby boomer names on these CT lists for some reason. I don't mind Carla.

Thanks for sharing.
