Two boys - Dax and Von.

To me Carys rhymes with Paris, because I pronounce Paris with a short a - as in cat. But some people in the US pronounce Paris as Pair-is. I also say married with a short A (common way to say it...

I'm American and I pronounce Carys with a short a as in cat - not care-is. I'm from New York. I also don't pronounce Ariel like air-ee-el, or Carrie like care-ee. And I don't pronounce Erin and...

I chose Maris, but actually, they both sound feminine to me.

Many, many names are misheard. I've heard people with the simplest names i the world say that there names are misheard.

I'm Shannon. It's often misheard as Sharon and even Janet.

My son...

I want to like it but I don't. I can see the vintage charm but the sound of Maude is just not appealing to me at all. I don't dislke it because it's "old lady" - I like some of those names.

It's a word that does sound somewhat name-like, but I do think it's too cutesy. Memoree just makes it even worse.

This is so. Stefan is common in other languages, German, for example. I occasionally come across Stephan and wonder if it's supposed to be pronounced like Stephen/Steven or Stefan - usually the...

I read a novel some years back where a character was named after this Christabel.

I'm in the US and I consider Hayley the original spelling of the name, not "uneek." My dad liked an English child actress with this name, Hayley Mills, back in the 60s, and considered the name for...

I named my son Ethan - 17 years ago, so it wasn't mega popular then. He's never had one in his class (1 other in the entire school in a different grade) and he liked that. I wasn't really looking...

To me names are off limits if it's been used by a family member that you see/talk to often, whether they live close by or not - if a cousin that you haven't seen in years (or maybe never met) and...

I like Anne (looks elegant) much more than Ann (plain) - this is one of the names where the spelling makes a big difference to me.
I prefer Annabel to Annabelle.
Alison over Allison.
Caitlin...

I love the name. I think the Hepburn connection won't be noticed by everyone and as people have commented, it's not a bad association anyway. It's a great one, actually.

Really love them both. I voted for Anna Sofia, though. I wouldn't do Annika and Erica for sisters, but I think it's fine for a mother and daughter.

I don't find this to be dated because it has never been very common, certainly not in this century or the 20th. I find this name 3 or 4 times in my family tree in centuries past. I think it sounds...

For a few of the letters I picked more than one. A lot of the names (that I didn't pick) are really not my style at all but some of them are great. I put a * next to the ones I like a lot.

I would say ar-DEEN unless told differently. I think Arden makes a great middle name.

Hi Danielle.

Andromeda (nn Andie, probably best to put as a mn but I like it for a first)
kind of dramatic but it does have everyday nicknames like Andie. It could work as a quirky choice.
...

Another vote for timeless classic.

Well, here's some names from way back on my family tree:
Lydia
Isabel
Cicely
Cecelia
Christabel
Patience
Beatrice/Beatrix
Sybil and Sybilla
Matilda and Maud

Actually, i pronounce it Adeleen. But I think the line prononciation is most common. I don't mind the Adelyn spelling because it makes the pronunciation you want clear (usually, I don't like to...

Eva and Sophia seem a little bit more compatible in style (Arabella is frillier than Eva). However, Sophia and Eva have too much sound echo for me, with the ee sound and f/v being similar. The...

Monday - I actually think that this is really wearable. The one big issue might be the negative connotations with the day itself being something that many people seem to sort of dread as the start of...
