It makes me sad to see such obvious boys names being used on girls. I mean Jakob? For a girl?

Rayden Phenix: While it pains me to see Phenix spelled as such, the combo sounds like something out of a Western movie. "We're raidin' Phoenix tonight, boys."
Pellie Parks: If I was writing a children's book, I'd use it as the main character's name. It actually kind of amuses me but it's nothing I see fit for an actual child.
Shaughnessy: Shaun and Hennessey? Names so great they just had to be smashed together.
Jalaysia Pashon: Spell it however you will but Pashon/Passion will always sound sexual to me.
Kyliss Ka: What the heck is a Kyliss? The only thing I can think of that might have prompted them to use it was Kilis, Turkey, but still, let's not get creative when it comes to an actual place name (although I know many do).
Ave: Like Avenue? Just name her Ava.
Rhythm & Echo: Tacky.
Peace A. (Mom: Comfort): Again, a little too tacky for me.
Patches: Although I do know someone with the name, his real name is Patrick. It reminds me of teddy bear.
Preshus-Rose Am'Esti: TACK-Y
Spiritmae: Reminds me of the name of a boat.
Rainen: Raining?
Hennessey Jade: Maybe it's just me, but naming a child after an alcoholic beverage just doesn't seem appealing.
William Jack Rupiper: When I first read it, I saw William Jack Ripper. Enough said.
Atticus Chaos: I LOVE the name Atticus but paired with Chaos, it sounds like the name of a cheesy hardcore band.
Legend: I'll say in theory, it's a cool name but it just makes me think that the parents were fans of online gaming.
Tapanga Nicole: I used to watch Boy Meets World too but they had other girls on the show. Could've gone with one of their names.
