Many of these are SO BAD

---

Amelia Winter Phoenix - Amelia Winter is lovely. With Phoenix, it's too much.
Juniper Ezra - love Juniper, hate Ezra, especially on a girl.
Emerald Agnes - sweet.
Prudence - actually rather cool.
Kirby Jean-Kassidi - they wanted a boy. Cassidy Jean would be OK.
Dylan Linda Deshawn - they wanted a boy, too.
Carissa-Rose Diva - Carissa Rose wouldn't be so bad. Diva is silly.
Gwynevere Amaryst - Guinevere Amethyst would be much cuter.
Adalida Mae - wish they could have chosen Adah or Alida instead of Adalida.
Noel Hadassah - would prefer Esther Noelle. Noel is male to me and Hadassah is...well, I don't like it.
Natalie Carol Noelle - just screams out "Christmas baby!!!"
Penny Lane - OK, so they like The Beatles.
Scarlett Sherry - a red drink.
Navarra Marie (Alysa, Madyson, Keegan, Kaehnn, Kyi, Morgann) - at least it's spelled correctly. What is Kaehnn supposed to be? And Kyi? How do you even pronounce them?
Beatrix Belle - a bit too much Disney princess for my taste, but still not bad.
Khalessi-Dream Storm - *barf*
Luna Persephone - I have to admit I think this is rather beautiful.
October Faith - strange combo. They only want her to have faith in October, or what?
Scarlett Rose Little Two-Hearts - Little Two-Hearts? Does she have an extra heart? A pacemaker? Or what?
A’kynamyst Alazuris - where do I even START...
Thalia Goddess - Goddess is so tacky.
Evelynn Haunani Nohea Ku’ulpolani Konewa - I hope the family is Hawaiian or have ties to Hawaii; otherwise I don't understand this.

---

DaVinci Lee - why not Leonardo Lee? Why DaVinci?
Zion King - über-religious.
Leif Erik - totally normal here, although Leif is very old-fashioned.
Lucus Andrew Charles - Lucus Mucus.
Samuel Anointed - über-religious again.
Percious - they couldn't spell Perseus?
Armour Lawrence - NRA members.
ArKaden Elias Lee - Arkaden means "the arcade" in Swedish, so this looks super strange to me.
Wolfgang Danger - love Wolfgang, hate Danger.
Anthem - eh...
Kyng’Sten Khaos Key’Shun - even Kingston Chaos Keishon would be better. This is an atrocity.
Jacobe Jonaton Dempsay (Maddison) - wee kant spel but tats ok.
Prophet David - even more über-religious parents.
Theon Shadow - yuck.
Canyon Rayne Wilder (Windsea Larayne) - hippie yippie peace out, man.
Christian Bear - and his siblings Jewish Wolf and Muslim Eagle.
Ozymandias - sounds like a disease.

My favorites - perhaps due to the seeming novelty

---

Prudence
Tompkins
Kirby Jean-Kassidi
Dylan Linda Deshawn
Carissa-Rose Diva
Gwynevere Amaryst
Percious
Errol Thomas
ArKaden Elias Lee
Atlas Montgomery
Kyng’Sten Khaos Key’Shun
Connor Lynch (Patience)
Aurelian James Chancellor
Prophet David
Otis Beverly

Cincinnatus! I hope it's pronounced the Latin way.

---

I don't quite like them, but October Faith and Thalia Goddess seem like they would be fun names to have.

---

Theon Shadow seems a little creepy. Lynch, Chancellor, Anointed, Beverly for a guy (although I like Otis), Wolfgang Danger, and Zion King do too.

---

I like Bear as a MN sometimes, but I don't think it pairs well with Griffin or Christian.

---

Ronald Eugene IV is so dorky that it's cute.

---

If a name is going to start with Arm, I'd prefer Armstrong or Armistice or Armando...rather than Armour.

---

I'm not sure what to think of Aphrodite, Kirby, Little Two-Hearts, Pamela-Eulalie, Windsea, DaVinci, Styles, and Infinido. I think I kind of like them, but that surprises me.

---

I like these combos:
Emerald Agnes
Kora Mildred
Benjamin Luna

I'll just bold what I like and comment on the rest:

---

Amelia Winter Phoenix
Juniper Ezra - I feel like Juniper could work for a boy and Ezra could work for a girl (not like either has a particularly gendered meaning)
Emerald Agnes
Prudence
Tompkins
Aphrodite
Kirby Jean-Kassidi
Dylan Linda Deshawn
Carissa-Rose Diva
Emberly Marie (Kobe, Kyler, Kierra, Mila)
Gwynevere Amaryst - ok but how excited would we be if it was Guinevere Amethyst?
Janessa Milly May
Adalida Mae (Jacey Byrd [f])
Noel Hadassah
Kora Mildred
Quinzel Layne - I saw Quinzel twice yesterday. It's not in the SSA data for any recent year and never for girls. Weird.
Krosby Nichols
Natalie Carol Noelle (Devin [m], Elliot [m]) - belated christmas present
Penny Lane
Scarlett Sherry - a nice moscatel
Deborah Michelle - 1965 called; they want their baby names back.
Navarra Marie (Alysa, Madyson, Keegan, Kaehnn, Kyi, Morgann)
Beatrix Belle
Khalessi-Dream Storm - everyone's always like "it's not a name, it's a title!" but I'd rather be Khaleesi than Princess tbh. It's a fun combo. Wish they'd spelled Khaleesi right and moved the hyphen-- Dream-Storm is bomb.
Quinnley Revere
Luna Persephone ♥
Tinsley Sheryl (Aubrey Ann, Emma Marie, Laila Sue) - Sheryl seems like a strange follow up to Ann, Marie, and Sue
October Faith
Scarlett Rose Little Two-Hearts (not her surname)
A’kynamyst Alazuris
Zarayda Pamela-Eulalie
Thalia Goddess
Evelynn Haunani Nohea Ku’ulpolani Konewa - I just want to note that I haven't found a source of birth announcements in Hawaii yet. Her parents might be Hawaiian but she wasn't born there.
Karlie Klarette
Jessie Pearline (Carter, Brody)

---

Boys:

---

DaVinci Lee
Zion King - so close to Lion King.
Leif Erik - I hope his surname is just 'Son'.
Lucus Andrew Charles - gross way to spell Lucas :(
John Maxim Cinccinatus
Samuel Anointed
Percious

I’m shocked.

So many names on this list just make no sense. Khalessi? Khaos? Aversion?! People really are picking whatever word from the dictionary or pop culture, misspelling it, and completely disregarding meanings or how names will sound when someone becomes an adult (because babies won’t stay babies forever).

---

The rare bright spots on this list:

---

Ronald Eugene
Deborah Michelle
Noel Hadassah
Kora Mildred
Eleanor Irene
Richard Christian Robert and Christina Patricia-Marie
Benjamin Luna

---

Good taste really is an endangered species.

Ozymandias (guiltiest of guilty pleasures)

I love Emerald Agnes.

---

The thought of naming of a baby Aphrodite seems to gross to me tbh.

---

Natalie Carol Noelle drives me crazy because there’s no way she was born in December! Are there dobs on these?

---

Deborah Michelle sounds about 60. I like it.

---

Jessie Pearline is cute, awww.

---

“Little two hearts” makes me think of that one fairy tale. Little one eyes, little two eyes, and little three eyes.

---

Wolfgang Danger sooo over the top. But I admire their daring.

---

Canyon and Windsea are delightful hippie siblings.

---

I like Benjamin Luna a lot, actually. I really dig Luna as a middle name for a boy.
