[Opinions] Re: 2014 BAs
in reply to a message by Llewella
Makenna Kathleen -- Makenna, McKenna, and all the variants just aren't my cup of tea.
Natalie Adele -- Uh-lee Uh-dell... repetitive sound is throwing me off.
Lily Grace -- Very generic.
Athena Katherine "Attie" -- I admit I have a guilty pleasure for Greek god names. I like this.
Cora Ann -- Too short, too brief. Lacking.
Taytum Willow -- Not liking this at all. Would have preferred to see Tatum.
Madeleine Helen -- Love both names, but not together.
Elsie Elizabeth-May -- Cringing. Elsie is a nickname for Elizabeth, isn't it? Why couldn't she have been Elizabeth May "Elsie"?
Emmi Josephine - Wish they had gone with Emeline or Emily, or even Emma. Josephine is beautiful.
Maisie Barbara -- I'm starting to like Barbara more. Maisie is hard to grow with, though.
Bethany Anne -- Boring.
Charlotte Rose -- Pretty, simple and inoffensive.
Olivia Joy -- Boring imo.
Reyna Inez -- Ehh...
Harriet Harper -- If Harper were her last name, she'd be a super hero or journalist in 1950-1960 culture! Unfortunately as a first name and middle name all I get is Har-Har.
Mabel Dawn -- I've not warmed up to Mabel and Dawn is very strung-out 70's to me.
Elli Mae -- ...Clampett? Beverly Hillbillies, anyone?
Chelsea Grace -- Very 80s-90s! Not too keen.
Evelyn Charlene -- Not liking this very well.
Mila Genevieve -- Something about this is just rubbing me the wrong way. Can't place it.
Aria Emily-Ann -- What is up with these hyphenated middle names? What's the point?
Zella Celeste -- Too many heavy L sounds.
Madelynn Ruth -- Not bad, not good.
James Francis -- Sounds decent together, but I don't like it.
Jerusalem Meyer "Ru" -- I like the nickname (prefer Rue) but not the name as a whole.
Bentley Christopher -- Waiting impatiently for Bentley to fall out of trend.
Nick E (it's just E, not short for anything) -- No.
Henry William -- Lovely, classic, inoffensive.
Benjamin Thomas -- Same as above.
Taliesin Michael -- Why am I starting to like Taliesin? That's beyond me.
Henry Arthur -- Very Medieval, but I'm digging it.
Lucas Edward -- Goes well together, inoffensive.
Nicholas John -- Like Nicholas, not so much John.
Benjamin Ray -- Really dislike Ray.
Elijah John -- Jah-jon, Jah-jon. Dislike the sound.
Quinten Douglas -- Surprisingly handsome, despite me not really liking either name respectively.
Killian Markus -- Not keen.
Carter Matthew -- I like Carter.
Clifton William Nathaniel "William/Will" -- Very handsome, love that he's going by Will.
Mason Jacob -- Pass.
Charles Maddoc -- Not bought on Maddoc, pass.
Jake Charles -- Prefer Jacob Charles.
Noah Dale -- Dale throws me off, I don't like it.
Rowan Levi -- Love Rowan, not Levi.
Evan Russell -- I'm in limbo on this one.

hyphenated middle names
For girls, especially, I have noticed is becoming much more common in the last 5 years or so. I've seen them a lot. Interesting.
