Help[Opinions] Amanda and Declan
These are my brother's top choices. He already has four kids - Brianna, Emma, Natalie and Lilyanna nn Lily. This baby would be their half-sibling.
Thoughts?

I really love Amanda, it's so pretty. It's not as trendy as the triplets' names, more in line with Brianna's name.
I don't like Declan, it seems clattery and somehow cold.

I like Amanda, too. It's pretty and simple. Declan...eh.

I'm curious as to what they will use. They have a long road ahead of them - they are going the open adoption, newborn route - so it will be at least a year before they get their baby.

Hearing about places where it takes only a year to adopt a newborn makes me very sad and depressed that I live where I do, and I generally love my country. Sorry, I’ve just been looking into adoption and feeling very discouraged right now.

Don't like Amanda - it's dated. It's very popular in my own generation where I live. Declan is nice though, although a bit different in style from the other kids's names.

I like Amanda. It's sweet but not frilly.
I hate Declan, it sounds harsh and I just don't like it.
Amanda would be good for a sibling. I guess Declan would fit in too.

Amanda - whilst I should like it because it's my Mum's name, It just sounds dated to me. I do like that it can be shortened to Amy though
Declan is cool, I don't love it, but I don't dislike it either, it just is.
Out of his other children's names Brianna feels dated to me (though I used to love it when I was 15/16 - so 10 years ago) maybe it was in then?
Emma is nice, but a little blah
I like Natalie
Lilyanna is too much for me, but I like Lily and I like Anna
Brianna, Emma, Lilyanna and Amanda is a bit to much of the letter a for me.

I know at least a dozen girls named Amanda so to me, the name is incredibly dated and overused. Some days I like Declan and other days I don't. It kind of feels like a cross-between of December and Dillon/Dylan (I simply detest Dillon/Dylan to the ends of my soul). I think if your brother goes with Amanda, that's just too many A's (10 in all) in one set of siblings and of course, that's only first names.
