I am getting so sick of hearing James on a girl.Is Jake Bobby's son or Rose's son?Calem made me laugh, since it always makes me think of Calem from Pokemon X and Y.

1) I'm fine with the name Olivia, but James on a girl...ew. I don't know and can't understand why people (especially celebrities) now think it's okay to turn James into a unisex or feminine name. It's masculine and it should stay that way. And I've always found combinations of a feminine first name and a masculine middle name to be weird anyway.2) I'm fine with Owen, and Bartlett is inoffensive in the middle position. It's rare that you see celebrities naming their children responsibly like this.3) I know it's not such a name, but Rocco just seems more like a diminutive or nickname to me, probably because of its popularity on dogs. I'm not a fan of Robin, but it's made better because it is honouring a family member.4) Amory - no thanks. Tristan is pretty good, but overall this combination seems just okay. And as for Calem, how legitimate is that name in any case? It's not found in the database so I don't know for certain.

Is it just me, or does James on a girl seem ... campy?I like Maggie, and Heather.I hope Bartlett and Beckwith are family surnames and not random surname names.Rocco is doggie. Too bad they didn't just name him Robin. Amory just makes me think: like, polyamory? hahah poor kid. If not for that it wouldn't be too bad, but.

I am sick of seeing James used on girls, sick of it, enough already. I mean it isn't like there aren't enough girl's names to choose from is it?!

Hi !!!Olivia James Christian is terrible!! James is masculinw and Christian too. And I dislike Olivia.Margaret Heather is too old-fashionable for me. I can see it on a granny but not on a little girl.Owen is very good...but these middle names are so strange. I don't like them.Jake Robin is good but...Rocco? I hate this name...it is so out!Amory Tristan is beautiful !!!! It seems a knight!!! Perfect!! Byeeeeeeee

Apparently Christian was a unisex name in Medieval England, so I'm not as bothered to see it on a girl as I am to see James on a girl.

Olivia has become boring thanks to its popularity, but it's still nice and pretty. I hate James used as a girl's name. Margaret Heather "Maggie" is cute and classy.Owen is nice enough, while I prefer Elias to Elijah. Bartlett and Beckwith aren't my style.Rocco Robin is too alliterative, but Robin is nice as an honoring name. I find Jake boring.Amory Tristan, Calem and Edan are all too trendy.

Olivia is very nice name but James? Why did american celebrities have traditional boys' names on girls? I don't see it.I like Robin as boys' name

Olivia James -- Okay, can we quit the James trend for girls already? Having said that, Olivia is gorgeous and popular, but there's a reason for that, obviously.Margaret Heather "Maggie" -- The name is cute and honors. What more could you ask for?Owen Bartlett -- This doesn't move me one way or the other.Elijah Beckwith -- I do like Elijah. It's really growing on me, probably since I've learned there's a long history in my father's family of men named Elijah dating back to 1695 (Maryland). Very cool. I wouldn't have minded using it for a ds if it were possible.Rocco Robin -- Maybe Robin honors, but the combo sound comical, like Rockin' Robin.Tristan -- While this isn't a fave of mine, it's nice. Calem and Edan don't wow me. I do prefer Eden for a girl.

First off: JAMES IS NOT A GIRL NAME. Okay, I'm done.Olivia is a cute name, and so is Margaret, which is the name of one of my cousins in real life. Heather would be nice as a first name.Neutral on Owen and Rocco, but I like Elijah. Dislike Amory.

I don't like the name and how it's mostly a boy name and it sort of frustrates me that it's unlikely that a boy would be given a traditional girl name.
