Hooray for Ines!
I like:
Luna Simone - Luna is a bit juvenile sounding, but it's nice.
Vera Audrey
Leonardo Angel Charles
Rowan
Ines - How people who think James is a good name for a girl would also like Ines is beyond me, but it's a lovely name.
Elias
Samuel Thomas
Terrible:
Boomer Phelps - Boomer is an unflattering nickname you give to a jock type.
Remington Alexander - Super macho gun-toting names are one of my biggest pet peeves
Dream Kardashian -
Wilder Grace - Seriously? Wilder on a girl? Ew.
Ocean King - The name itself is not horrific, but I remember reading their justification for it which was just too stupid for words.
Dusty Rose - Dusty is not a positive characteristic.
A'mei Kazuko - is that supposed to be Amy?
Heiress Harris - Most people pronounce both of these names the same way. Heiress is a stupid name with any surname.
Luna Simone - Luna is a bit juvenile sounding, but it's nice.
Vera Audrey
Leonardo Angel Charles
Rowan
Ines - How people who think James is a good name for a girl would also like Ines is beyond me, but it's a lovely name.

Ines
Julia Mimi Bella - although I would prefer Julia Mimi Isabella. This is a bit too cute.
Samuel Thomas
AWFUL:
Boomer - this is just so STUPID.
Remington Alexander - gun-toting crazy parents.
Dream - "Dream" is not a name. Why not choose Aisling, Sanja or Sovanna instead?
Ode Mountain - what's that? A book by Robert Frost?
Wilder Grace - how can grace even be wild at all?
Kirra Max - "kirra" is Swedish slang for fixing something, so this sounds like it would mean "the biggest achievement".
Ocean King - just name him Poseidon.
Dusty Rose - a dirty flower.
Journey River - take me to the river...drop me in the water...
A'mei Kazuko Grandberry - what is A'mei supposed to be? And what on earth is a grandberry? The grandparent of a strawberry?
Heiress Harris - no. Please. No.
Maddox Laurel Boss - is this a boy or a girl? It sounds stupid all the same.
Shaffer Chimere - Shaffer is a German surname. And Chimere sounds like a chimaera.
Odin Reign - Já, við skulum öll tilbiðja Óðinn! (Yes, we should all praise Odin!)

Dream actually doesn't bother me that much.
I can count the ones that don't give me a feeling of utter revulsion with one hand.
Some really nice ones but many are really horrible too!
In my opinion
The best
Luna Simone - I love Luna and Simone goes nicely with it even though it isn't a favorite
Remington - this is nice
Enzo - it's cute
Daisy Josephine - not something I would use but nice overall
Vera Audrey - not a fan of Vera but the combo is nice
Rowan - love this on both genders
Journey - it's kind of cool, better on a girl
River - I like nature names but I wouldn't have paired it with Journey
Lula Rose - love
The worst
Boomer - this is one of the worst names I've encountered, it sounds ridiculous. What will his nickname be? Boom? Maybe it's a family surname or something...
Ode Mountain - Mountain as a middle name is kind of cool but it really sounds like 'old mountain'
Wilder - I think this would be an embarrassing name to have because everyone would expect you to be kind of crazy or wild. It's really silly, it makes me chuckle
Ocean King - Ocean is fine...but the combo...Wow. What if he ended up to be a horrible swimmer or if he developed a fear of water. It would sound ridiculous. Even more so than it does now
A'mei Kazuko Grandberry - Kazuko is fine. The rest is pretty weird. Grandberry sounds like the grandma of all berries or something
Heiress Harris - so bad and both names are way too similar
Dusty Rose - it is not super horrible but it reminds me of an old rose covered in dust. I know it is also a color but it just evokes images of something past its prime, something old or something dirty
In my opinion

Guilty pleasures:
Story

Odin Reign is so stupid it makes me laugh, I think particularly because it's Nick Carter's kid. Dusty Rose is also kind of hilarious. I want to like that Gretchen Weiners named her daughter Julia but wtf is Mimi Bella?

I agree that Heiress Harris is the worst. What were they thinking?
Luna Simone (Chrissy Teigen/John Legend)I hope Legend isn't her real last name, because Luna Legend is pretty silly.
Boomer Phelps (Michael Phelps/Nicole Johnson) Because you don't deserve an actual name; they really wanted a dog.
Remington Alexander (Kelly Clarkson/Brandon Blackstock)Remington Blackstock, the newest in shotgun technology.
Dream Kardashian (Blac Chyna/Rob Kardashian)Because who needs reality when you own reality TV?
Ode Mountain (Jena Malone/Ethan DeLorenzo) Ode to a mountain.
Wilder Grace (Alison Pill/Joshua Leonard) Because Grace is just so tame, it needs to be wilder.
Kirra Max (Audrina Patridge/Corey Bohan) Kirra looks like a girls' name.
Ocean King (Carlos PenaVega/Alexa PenaVega) The Ocean King was the most profitable tuna boat in the Pacific till Typhoon Bob got to it. Now it's a brand of tuna named after the unlucky ship.
Dusty Rose (Adam Levine/Behati Prinsloo) Dusty Rose was THE color for weddings in the eighties. Blah.
Journey River (Megan Fox/Brian Austin Green) Journey River Green. Journey Green River. Green River Journey.
Heiress Harris (T.I./Tiny) Make a rhyme anytime. Bonus jerk points for sticking a phony social-class indicator on her.
Julia Mimi Bella (Lacey Chabert/David Nehdar) Things were going well till they stuck baby-talk sounds in the middle of it.
Samuel Thomas (Catherine Guidici/Sean Lowe) Wins the good-taste award.
Story Goldberg (Soleil Moon Frye/Jason Goldberg) Maybe Story can be friends with Dream, since they're not real.
Hunter Zion (Jurnee Smollett-Bell/Josiah Bell) Very Utah.
Boomer Phelps (Michael Phelps/Nicole Johnson) Because you don't deserve an actual name; they really wanted a dog.
Remington Alexander (Kelly Clarkson/Brandon Blackstock)Remington Blackstock, the newest in shotgun technology.
Dream Kardashian (Blac Chyna/Rob Kardashian)Because who needs reality when you own reality TV?
Ode Mountain (Jena Malone/Ethan DeLorenzo) Ode to a mountain.
Wilder Grace (Alison Pill/Joshua Leonard) Because Grace is just so tame, it needs to be wilder.
Kirra Max (Audrina Patridge/Corey Bohan) Kirra looks like a girls' name.
Ocean King (Carlos PenaVega/Alexa PenaVega) The Ocean King was the most profitable tuna boat in the Pacific till Typhoon Bob got to it. Now it's a brand of tuna named after the unlucky ship.
Dusty Rose (Adam Levine/Behati Prinsloo) Dusty Rose was THE color for weddings in the eighties. Blah.
Journey River (Megan Fox/Brian Austin Green) Journey River Green. Journey Green River. Green River Journey.
Heiress Harris (T.I./Tiny) Make a rhyme anytime. Bonus jerk points for sticking a phony social-class indicator on her.
Julia Mimi Bella (Lacey Chabert/David Nehdar) Things were going well till they stuck baby-talk sounds in the middle of it.
Samuel Thomas (Catherine Guidici/Sean Lowe) Wins the good-taste award.
Story Goldberg (Soleil Moon Frye/Jason Goldberg) Maybe Story can be friends with Dream, since they're not real.
Hunter Zion (Jurnee Smollett-Bell/Josiah Bell) Very Utah.
