Help[Opinions] some random BAs
from Scottish newspapers. I've starred the ones I like.
Nell Gillian (Colin + Sarah, siblings Ned + Poppy) poor, poor Ned. Couldn't they have used Eleanor and called her Nell?
Jenna Lily (Warren + Heather) Looks pretty but too stunted to say.
Erika Rae (Martin + Julie, sister Ingrid) Erika's nice, they ruined it with Rae
Muriel Erskine (Bobby + Wendy [nee Erskine]) I think Muriel could be making a comeback.
Imogen Alice (Tony + Kate)
Sadie Grace (Paul + Caroline) I think Sadie could also make a comeback.
Sophie Cameron (Gareth + Debbie) Cameron could be a surname but it's not her mothers.

Some thoughts:
(I won't comment on all the names, but some did catch my eye)
Nell Gillian - I love Nell with a passion, but the combo has too many Ls.
Jenna Lily - Jenna is meh but Lily is surprisingly pretty in the mn slot.
Muriel Erskine - Ugh. Muriel is rather frumpy and I would only pair it with something more modern so that little Muriel could have something to fall back on if she didn't like her name.
Judy Jean - Both names are very outdated.
Mairi Niamh - Ooh, pretty!
Maisie Sally - Rule of thumb: the names in a combo that have the same number of syllables should not end in the same sound.
Jamie Derek - The whole combo just screams 80s to me. Jamie is unfortunately too unisex to use on a boy.
Adam Guy - Adam is blah, but I like Guy as a mn.
Luca David George - Luca has always struck me as a euro-pretentious name, and the double mn doesn't help.
Mackenzie Alexander - I agree. Great on a boy.
Grant Thomas - Handsome.
Logie Finlay - What were his parents thinking?
Ramsay Douglas - Also handsome, but Ramsay and Finlay should not be in the same sibset. Normally I don't like Douglas, but when a Scot has it as a name it makes me think of Scottish clan history.

I'm surprised at the response to Nell, at best it seems nicknamey to me, at worst, it reminds me of death knell lol, I think I've been reading too much Shakespeare.
I'm really glad to see Muriel, I agree it has a frumpy image, but underneath that it's such a pretty name and hopefully if you start to see more girls called Muriel it will lose the image.
Jamie is not as unisex here, it is quite firmly established as a boys name (my dad is known as Jamie) and girls called Jamie are very much a recent phenomenon, and still in a minority.

Just curious why is Jenna a GP?
It just seems to be a normal name.
I really like Jenna Lily
Jennifer Victoria Ellen
Emma
Joanna Gracie
Ella Marianne
Scott Thomas (Monroe works)
Joseph and Alexander but not Dylan
Jonathan

I wouldn't consider it a gp either, but I see her point. I've only known one Jenna, and I think its considered to be quite dated. I don't see why it's not due a comeback though, there's enough Jenny's in the world, so it doesn't surprise me to see parent's using it as an alternative.
