Put in your two cents!

Here is a list of girls names I have been compiling. Opinions?

Avery
Ezri
Suri
Monroe
Jovi
Juno
Adele
Lucy
Hazel
Emory
Finley

[senoritashan]

Avery - I personally love this on a girl! I know it is unisex technically, but the Av- sound is just feminine for some reason!

Ezri - reminds me of Ezra which is a boy's name for me

Suri - I do think of Suri Cruise, but the name is still quite cute

Monroe - too much of a boy's name for me. I do like Marlowe (emphasis on the MAR) on a girl though

Jovi - it sounds so jovial, haha. Okay, bad pun. It could get stuck sounding childish, is there a full name for this because I have heard it before and I like it!

Juno - I do associate it with the movie as well as the usually-jealous goddess (Juno is the Roman name for Hera... if you didn't know, though you probably do), but it is a pretty name

Adele - I prefer Adeline (I say AH-duh-lyn with the a as in cat) and Adelaide, but Adele is very pretty and classic so you really can't go wrong

Lucy - I love Lucy... seriously! This name is great. I struggled with deciding whether to use a full name or not. I like Lucienne (loo-see-EN), but I'm not sure if it is a legitimate name

Hazel - I've always had a little bit of an issue with this name for some reason I couldn't pinpoint. Then I met a dog named Hazel and realized that I just couldn't see the name on a person. I have a dog named Ruby, but I can still imagine it on a human which I can't find myself able to do with Hazel...

Emory - this is a boy's name through and through. There are so many amazing Em- names for girls: Emmeline (I say EH-muh-leen), Emily, Emilia (eh-MEE-lee-uh), Emma, Emiliana (eh-mee-lee-AH-nuh; a as in car). I just don't see why one cannot name a girl with one of those Em- names instead of using Emory or the ever-popular Emerson; simply my opinion though

Finley - I see pretty much all Fin-/Finn- names as masculine, just my personal preference

For girls: I love Avery, Adele, and Lucy (as well as Lucienne). I also like Marlowe instead of Monroe if you are willing to entertain that

I like Finley, Emory, and Monroe on boys as well as Ezra if you are willing to entertain that for a boy

Avery - Prefer this on a boy.
Ezri - Hmm.. don't really like it.
Suri - I think this is too tied to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's daughter. And with their divorce, she's getting a lot more attention right now.
Monroe - Don't like.
Jovi - Maybe as a nn for something? Not sure what though.
Juno - Don't like it. Reminds me of the movie.
Adele - Pretty.
Lucy - Love!
Hazel - Really love!
Emory - Reminds me of the thing you file your nails with.
Finley - Don't like, too masculine for me. Prefer on a boy.

Avery: something about Avery has never struck my quite right, but I can still see the appeal.

Ezri: love Ezri. It's on our list and is periodically at the top.

Suri: I adore Suri. I don't think people will care much about the TomKat connection in the long run, and a little Suri will likely never be aware of it at all. That said, for now at least, most people's ONLY association is with Suri Cruise.

Monroe: though it's not my style, Monroe is a very fun spunky name.

Jovi: I know precisely where you got this, I think cute cute, but it does sound more like a nickname. Jovie makes it feel a bit more complete, though obviously pronunciation is identical.

Juno: love. I wouldn't have the cajones to use it myself, but the association with the character is fantastic.

Adele: I have variations of this on my list. I worry that this iteration is poised to jump due to the singer.

Lucy: fantastic choice. I think Lucy is such a happy, likable name.

Hazel: super cute. Not my personal style, but it's very likable. Grandma-chic.

Emory: I feel the same about Emory as Avery. Also, my first association is emery board.

Finley: too masculine, IMO

[lucialucentum]

I love Adele, Lucy and Hazel!
Ermmmm... and not the others, sorry. Most are too boyish and/or trendy for me.

[flick]

The majority are way too masculine / trendy - Juno, Hazel, Lucy and Adele are all nice.

[woodwinder]

i prefer Adele or Lucy

[dlawsonsmith]

My favorites are Avery, Monroe, Juno, Adele and Lucy.

[darci]

My favorites are Avery, Lucy, Hazel, and Adele (in that order).

[beaut@heart]

Monroe, Finley & Adele are my favorites off your list. I think you lean closer towards unisex names. Monroe, Finley, Avery, Jovi & maybe even Emory can be used as names for either gender..
