I don't much like Tina-it seems personality-less. Uma: I like Uma Thurman; I don't think it's a good name for everyone.
I like Dorothy. It's good that it's coming back (if only a little.) I like Susan, too, and Jill (maybe should be Jillian) and Charlotte, and Drea, Iris, Maria.
Leanor is beautiful and unusual. Jack's all right with me.
Thomm is odious. Richard's all right.
Bill- No!!! Don't name your kid Bill.
Because of the people I know the name Henry doesn't much appeal to me.
Name your kid Charles, not Charlie!!!
Personally I think a boy named Marion or Leslie may get some teasing.
The rest I am neutral on, except Peter, James, and Jasper which I quite like, especially Jasper.
