[Opinions] BAs
In the past several months, I have been collecting names of babies. These are all children who would be under 2 at this time. Most are under 1. Some aren't even born yet, but the names have been announced. Some I've encountered in life, some through friends of friends on Facebook, one or two through the What to Expect app.Eva Grace
Annabelle May
Adelaide Joy
Violet x3 (middles unknown)
Amelie (with the accent...don't know how to type it)
Addie (guessing on spelling)
Ava
Kencelee
Brinley (brothers Payton and Nova)
AnnaleeCarson Nicholas
Aiden Theodore
Leo Urbano
Zameer (guessing on spelling, mom said she had also considered Zaire)
Wolf (guessing on spelling)
Zamar Kareem
Zane
Emmanuel and Bryan
Rafael
Sullivan
James Anthony
Caleb Bryson
Sterling Zade
John MurphyWDYT? My thoughts in the comments.-----------------------------------------

Eva Grace: I like both names, but I think Grace is terribly overused in the middle spot.
Annabelle May: Nice, though I'd like it even better were Annabelle spelt Annabel.
Adelaide Joy: wonderful, the ideal mix of classic and modern.
Violet: one of my favourite floral names. While it's quite popular, it's nowhere near as common as Rose or Lily.
Amélie: lovely sound, and I think it looks better with the accent.
Addie: too nickname-y for my taste.
Ava: boring and overused. I prefer Eva, or Eve.
Kencelee: this just looks like someone's cat walked on their keyboard.
Brinley: I don't like Payton or Nova either, but Brinley is by far the worst. I can only imagine it on a bratty 2-year-old.
Annalee: sounds like anally.
Carson Nicholas: Carson sounds too surname-y, and Nicholas is boring.
Aiden Theodore: I adore Theodore, but it doesn't go with Aiden at all, they're completely different stylistically.
Leo Urbano: cool, works both as the name of a pope and a sci-fi character.
Zameer: okay, but I think Zamir looks nicer (or, better yet, Samir).

WTF is Kencelee? I am going to have such a hard time not laughing when my future children come home from school and ask if their friend "Kencelee" can come over to play. I like:
Eva Grace
Annabelle May
Adelaide Joy
Violet
Amelie
Aiden Theodore
Leo Urbano
Zane
Emmanuel - I don't hate Bryan, but it's very odd with Emmanuel

Annabelle May is very sweet, Violet and Ava are nice too.I like Sullivan, Wolf, Rafael, Sterling, and Carson Nicholas also. I sort of like John Murphy, but it just feels a little macho to me for some reason. Haha, I don't know why.On a side note, for Amélie to type the accent if you're using a laptop or PC you click the start button, and then go to accessories or windows accessories and you find "character map". The character map has all the little diacritical marks above letters. Each one is a separate character, like é is "Latin small letter e with acute".

Eva Grace is on trend but nice.I like Adelaide Joy, Addie / Addy (as a nickname), Sullivan (although I probably wouldn't use it, since I have no connections to the surname (this coming from someone who used Donovan in her son's name. Oop.)), and John Murphy.Violet looks to be getting very popular.
