The only unusual ones I haven't noticed already posted are Valley, Vale, Glade and Haven.

All of those names are perfectly fine and people won't think of any of the associations. Names like Liam or Andrew have been used for years and years without problems. The only ones I could see them...

For girls the first things that came to mind were Nora and Audrey.
For boys something like Wayne.

They're not even names to me. They're just unpleasant noises.

Audrey- Auds?? - Yes
Sebastian- Ash?? - No. It doesn't make an Ash sound at all.
James- Jem?? - It works closely enough but I don't personally like it.
Natalia- Tally - Yes. Natalia turns to Talia...

Ann - Andrew, Andy
Jean - ? Apart from John I've got nothing.
Marie - Marshall, Marvin
Patricia - Patrice

It's a bit of a stretch to me since they don't sound alike except for the B at the start. My family has a lot of sons and fathers with the same name and we don't use any nicknames but there's never...

The list is practically endless.

I don't mind it. Of course it's hard to not pronounce it in my head the same way as the city. Actually it's hard not to think of the city at all (was that where he was conceived? lol) but as far as...

The spelling looks like sooree to me and that's the only way I've heard it pronounced.

I never believed in Santa. Partly because there was no one to babysit me a lot of the time so I was taken Christmas shopping for other people's presents with my mum. It was still fun to pretend and...

I'm going to try a few more boyish names for you. No A endings if I can help it.

Abbie/Abigail
Adia
Aderyn
Ariel

I don't like forced nns and Posy is one of them for me (unless it's short for Mariposa, like you said). To me it's like saying, "This is our daughter Ashley, but we call her Kate." The two names...

Working in a UK school it is clear that UK kids are much like your description of American kids nowadays. All the teachers who have been in education for many years have noticed a marked drop in...

Sorry again for any more repeats.

Depends how quickly I'm talking or how much I'm concentrating

It's actually pronouced Kar-ee, rather than a different spelling of Carrie.

Sorry for any repeats but how about...

Personally, having grown up in a family with a few juniors, I don't see the problem if you love the name. You're not doing it to make a Junior, it's just coincidence. My brother and dad have the...

Silvano, Sierra, Raine, Robin and Diana

Silvano (latin for woods) Sierra (after California's Sierra National Forest) Raine (as in rainforest) Robin (after Robin Hood who lived in Sherwood Forest)...
