Aniston Day - named after Jennifer Aniston?
Rookie - this puts me in mind of my cousin's husband, who named their son Ace because one day when he's a baseball star it will look good in the papers (I kid you not.)
Rae Elise - Rae seems so insubstantial. Elise is lovely.
Finley Ellen - eww.
Cameron Nicole - Cameron should only be used for boys, imo.

OTHERS

Phi - huh?
