Do u like any of these names?

Girls:
Jasmine,
Lacey,
Tallullah,
Amelie,
Starla,
Tarla.

Boys:
Daylee,
Dante,
Sonny,
Jacob,
Samuel,
Jasper (Jazz)
Theo.

Just wondering if the boy names are a bit "soft" for grown men Daylee (Lee) is my favorite and Amelie (Mia) for a girl. what do u think? or do u have any other names you think i might like?

Re: Do u like any of these names?

Girls:
Jasmine - very pretty, and Jazz is a sassy but sweet nn for a little girl.
Lacey - personally, I'm not fond of the 'ace' sound, but that's just me. I know a lot of people like this name.
Tallullah - too flamboyant and cutesy for me.
Amelie - pretty, although widely used now because of the film.
Starla - I don't like this - it's too ... cute, and it sounds made up. You might get a lot of people assuming you mean Darla, too.
Tarla - again, I am not fond of this one.

Boys:
Daylee - I'm not very fond of this one ... how about other ways to get Lee, like Leopold (lee-oh-pold)?
Sonny - I would find this strange on a grown man; it strikes me as more of a pet name than a real name.
Jacob - I love this name! It is a classic, and very handsome. The nn Jake is cute on a little boy, too.
Samuel - Another classic name which would age well, and offers a good nn (Sam).
Jasper (Jazz) - Again, handsome and classic.
Theo - I prefer this as a nn for Theodore, but it stands on its own reasonably well.

Re: Do u like any of these names?

Daylee is my favorite because my Nans maiden name is Day, but have fallen in love with the name now im just worried it is not for a grown man (but Lee as a nn i think he can get away with).

I love Lola nd thank u for all ur suggestions i am still gratefull for all your ideas.

I actually think Day would make a great middle name. Jacob Day or Samuel Day sound very handsome imo.

Re: Do u like any of these names?

I love Amelie!

I'm sorry but I don't care for Daylee. People may think of it as not only a girl's name, but as something you made up as a Kaylee variant. Have you thought about just Day? Short, but I think it's stronger than Daylee. Personally I think Day or Daylee may be better in the mn spot, it could also work for a girl.

Theo.


Love Amelie and Tallulah for a girl. Like Jasmine okay.
Love Jacob, Samuel, Jasper, and Theodore with Theo as a nn. Like Dante.
Sonny is too child-like for me. Daylee sounds like a meganame girls' name, so I wouldn't like it for either a boy or a girl or even a middle name. Day is a pleasant middle name.
Jacob and Mia are very, very popular in the United States.

Re: Do u like any of these names?

Girls:
Jasmine -- will always think of Aladdin
Lacey -- not a huge fan
Tallullah -- Cute, but nms
Amelie -- LOVE
Starla -- Very pretty!
Tarla -- sounds clunky and made-up to me.

Boys:
Daylee -- will be mistaken for daily
Dante -- LOVE
Sonny -- not a fan. Sonny and Cher is all I can think of.
Jacob -- beautiful but common
Samuel -- ditto
Jasper (Jazz) -- I like it.
Theo -- LOVE

My favorites are Amelie (Mia is a cute nn for Amelie) and Starla, Dante and Theo.

I think that Daylee and Sonny are the only boy's names that sound too soft to be boy's names. I wouldn't use them for girls either though. All your other choices are nice though! Good luck!

P.S. I agree that Day works very nicely as a middle name for either a boy or a girl!
