Yay! Here are my thoughts:

Nilay Savanna-No.

Charline Aryana-No.

Audrianna Cecilia-That's alright, I suppose. I like the Cecilia part.

Brennan William-Ooh, that's nice.

Everett Powell-I like Everett.

Twins: Charlotte Jane & Kathryn Paige-Those are fine, but nothing too exciting.

Ryan Christopher-I like that alright.

Darlin Guadalupe Oliva-That's really odd.

Colter Lee-Colton would be much better.

Sergio Armando-That's nms, but it's interesting.

Riley Rose-Oh gosh.

Jack Francis-Nice!

Melissa Gayle-Wow, that's super 70s. I don't care for it.

Caroline Mae-Lovely.

Joseph Aloysius-I like Joseph a lot.

Carson Montgomery-That's okay.

Lindy Catherine-I like the Catherine part.

Charles Mirabel-What?

Eowyn Mary-Interesting.

Jordan Tyree-Tyree?

Maxmillian Augustus-Neat!

Leo Dante-Cute.

Ross Donovan-Ooh, that's kind of refreshing.

Piper Adrianna-NMS.

Thanks for sharing!

Nilay Savanna -- I'd love Nila, Nola or Nuala, but Nilay seems created. Savanna is nms.

Charline Aryana -- Charline seems dated, though Charlize would have worked, and the "Aryan-" misspelling definitely comes across as being overtly racist or terribly ignorant -- unfortunate, either way.

Audrianna Cecilia -- Audrey and Anna are both nice, but Audrianna just looks like they tried to smash the two together, and has a much less classic feel than either. Cecilia is lovely.

Brennan William -- nice

Everett Powell -- very nice. Love that combo (and I'm guessing Powell is a family surname).

Twins: Charlotte Jane & Kathryn Paige -- Charlotte Jane is beautiful, and I do like Kathryn Paige with it (though Paige is nms and I generally prefer Catherine ... glad they didn't go with the matching initials in this case, however).

Ryan Christopher -- nice combo

Darlin Guadalupe Oliva -- wonder if they really say this "darlin'" as in "Oh My Darlin'" or if they think it says Darlene? An odd grouping of names, in any case.

Colter Lee -- never heard of Colter, though it does sound surnamey (possibly a family name?). Colter Lee sounds like an adverb, however.

Sergio Armando -- that works

Riley Rose -- that doesn't! LOL I'm all for using a feminine mn if you're going to use a masculine fn for your dd, but Riley Rose sounds quite comical.

Jack Francis -- John Francis, nn Jack, seems to make more sense here.

Melissa Gayle -- this actually sounds nice together, but it does seem like she would have been born in 1977.

Caroline Mae -- Caroline Rhea, anyone? LOL Mae is nms, but this is fine in general.

Joseph Aloysius -- I'll probably be in the minority here, but while Joseph is nms (known about two dozen too many LOL), I really like Aloysius! ;)

Carson Montgomery -- Carson is a bit trendy, but ok. Love it with Montgomery.

Lindy Catherine -- I'd definitely prefer Lindley.

Charles Mirabel -- wait ... is this a girl named Charles, or a boy with the mn Mirabel??????

Eowyn Mary -- assuming they're big Tolkien fans, this is fine.

Jordan Tyree -- Tyree is nmsaa, but I've only heard it on boys, so at least this isn't another little Jordynn Grace or something.

Maxmillian Augustus -- so hoping this is a typo. Maximillian is ok (Maximilian even better), though Max seems overdone at this point, and I do like Augustus, though together they're a bit much. Augustus as the fn, nn Gus, would have been a bit more refreshing, and still in the same trend.

Leo Dante -- would have used a longer form of Leo with Dante, but still nice names.

Ross Donovan -- this is ok. Believe it or not, Ross is pretty popular where my in-laws live, so we know quite a few out there (not any I can think of here in PA).

Piper Adrianna -- Piper is nms, though I get the appeal. Adriana would have been nice for the mn.

Nilay Savanna - NMS

Charline Aryana - not sure how to say it, "shar-LEEN" or "CHAR-lynn"?, don't love the Aryana spelling, but like the name

Audrianna Cecilia - Like it, but like Audrey Cecilia better

Brennan William - Love it - Brennan is one of my favorites

Everett Powell - I am not that fond of either, but they're not bad

Twins: Charlotte Jane & Kathryn Paige - Nice, I like it

Ryan Christopher - fine, ordinary

Darlin Guadalupe Oliva - NMS - "Darlin'", really??

Colter Lee - NMS, prefer Colton

Sergio Armando - nice

Riley Rose - okay, I like Riley for a girl paired with a feminine mn, but not fond of the short mn or the same letter

Jack Francis - okay

Melissa Gayle - sounds very 80's - but it won't be as common now

Caroline Mae - Love it.

Joseph Aloysius - Love it. I like paring a common fn with a rare mn for a boy.

Carson Montgomery - Like it, especially if Montgomery is a family name

Lindy Catherine - Lindy sounds like a nn, but it's okay

Charles Mirabel - boy?girl? If it's a boy, the mn is too feminine, if it's a girl, the fn is WAY too much of a traditional boy's name

Eowyn Mary - How is this pronounced? I think "Owen". NMS at all

Jordan Tyree - again is this boy?girl? - NMS for either

Maxmillian Augustus - just too much! With Augustus as a mn, I'd prefer Maxwell.

Leo Dante - fine.

Ross Donovan - fine.

Piper Adrianna - I can't get on the Piper bandwagon, but it's alright.

Beth - mommy to Ayden 03/23/02, Owen 06/23/04, & Eliz
