Wow, odd to see so many of the same unisex names on boys. Better that on girls, though (IMO). Wait, is this the mixed-up-genders edition of BA's? :-/

---

Some comments:
Aubrey Phillip Cooper - so cool to see Aubrey on a boy (esp. in these BA's)
Avery Zane - great to see Avery on a boy; I like this combo best, I think
Elisha - nice to see this used properly
Emery - I prefer Emory (Emery makes me think of emery boards) but still, great to see on a boy.

---

The girls are horrid. Sad when Ellison Leila looks good to me when compared to the others in the bunch.

---

And I am just rendered speechless by anyone who could name their DAUGHTER Otis Abraham. I'm just hoping the wrong picture was put in somehow, and little Otis is a boy.

Addison Court: Sounds like an apartment building or a shopping center.

---

Christian Faith: Serves her parents right if she becomes a Scientologist.

---

Hiltyn: Even the classy Olivia cannot save this one from reeking of trashiness.

---

Levi Jane: And her brother GI Joe.

---

Otis Abraham: It would be a terrible name even for a boy.

I like combos:

---

Addison Arthur
Addison James
Avery Blake
Avery Christopher
Avery Cole
Avery James
Emery Michael
Mackenzie Allen
Mackenzie Lee Michael
Sidney Joseph
Taylor Christopher
Taylor Dean
Taylor Joseph
Dylan Drew (b)
Riley-Anne Elizabeth
Tyla Kathleen

Wow.

About 20/25 of those girl's names are boy's names. I just counted the names that were made up as girl's names, and I disregarded obscure spellings. I really don't like that trend. Oddly enough, it seems like a lot of the boy's names are more common on girls now, like Addison, Bailey, Mackenzie, Taylor, and Sidney. I've seen girls named Emery and Avery before too, but I don't know if that's more common or not. And there is even a boy with his name spelled like the feminine version (Sydney). Weird.

---

The only name I like out of all of these really is Mackenzie on a boy. Addison Arthur is a pretty nice name too, or at least a nice combo.

I like:
Arthur
Thomas
Blake
Avery James x 2
Zane
Bailey James
Daniel
Taylor Aaron
Taylor Gabriel
Taylor John
Taylor Joseph

BOYS
Addison Arthur - funny, I briefly considered the combo Arthur Addison when pregnant with Iris.

---

Addison - nice to see so many male Addisons.

---

Aubrey Phillip Cooper - Aubrey Phillip is very nice; I wouldn't have tacked Cooper on there, but it's okay.

---

Mackenzie - also nice to see some male Mackenzies! I like Mackenzie Allen.

---

Sidney Francis - love this combo. Sidney is kind of growing on me.

---

Taylor Melvin - I think Taylor is boring for either gender, but pair it with Melvin, and it gets a little more interesting. I mean, really, Melvin?

---

GIRLS

---

Bobbie Elizabeth Kealoha'lani - so we have nicknamey boy's name, classic female name, and tongue-twisting Hawaiian/Polynesian name. I think that covers all the bases.

---

Bryce Kaylee - how snotty

---

Christian Faith - the first of sixteen homeschooled children.

---

Ellison Leila - Ellison sort of sounds like Alison, so I guess I can deal with it.

---

Emmersyn Louise - why is it that to use a masculine name on a girl, people feel they have to feminize it by spelling it with a y? First of all, it looks illiterate, and secondly, it doesn't even work. The name still sounds masculine.
