GIRLS:
Colter Elizabeth - ewwwwMattox Ale - apart from the combo sounding like a beer brand, Mattox sounds like a therapeutic teaJennevieve Graye - "we wanted to name her after my mum Jenny but we hated Jennifer" . . . blechWilder Anne - Laura Ingalls fans?Ayden Lynn - . . . Lynn is fine . . .Mikal Kay - as opposed to Michal, I supposeAbyssinia (new take on Abby/Abigail?) - eesh, it hits the places-as-names trend AND has the trendy nickname AbbyXavianna - I can almost deal with this - Xavia and Xaviana look legit so Xavianna almost is
Harper Addison - blechBOYS:
Eberhardt James - nms but if it's of family importance it's fine
Hyrum Russell - very hick

Someone's got a dramatic emo teenager for a mom...Abyssina? Like "My soul is a deep, dark abyss?"Poor girl.

Um, no . . .It's not Abyssina, it's Abyssinia, as in the country. Abyssinia is an older name for Ethiopia. As in Abyssinian cats and so forth.

Uurgh, Abyssinia sounds like the kind of name a fascist enthusiast in Italy would have given in his daughter after the invasion of Ethiopia in 1935. I've heard actually of an Italian woman named Ethiopia and another one named Tripolina after the battle of Tripoli in Lybia, who apparently forced her son to name his daughter after her. In Italy there's still the custom of naming babies after their grandparents, but with a name like that, it shows a certain amount of ego.
