Freya, Malia, rose, Leo, Callum, Harrison

Goodness. All Scottish, or some from across the pond?

I like Mairead, Alexander (Sandy) and Frank if it's a nn for Francis or Franklin. Leo, Calum and Dale are OK. Stanley is delightful on a child.

Mackenzie, in Scotland, as a f fn? You learn something new every day. Freya wouldn't work where I live, but in or near Scandinavia it's fine. Harper, Cooper and Harrison are just bandwagon lnfns; getting more boring by the day. I prefer Maria to Malia, and just about anything to Blossom and Cherry. Rose is over-used; it's OK, if regrettable, as a nn for Rosamond or Rosemary, etc.

wow, a wild Cherry!
I like it. Not sure I'd want to be called it in my youth, but it's probably fine.
I like Rose and Freya, Alexander "Sandy," Dale, and Frank too. Especially Dale.

Not a fan of most of the girl names. I especially don't like Malia since it begins with the 'mal' prefix. Mal means bad in so many languages.

Mackenzie - Isn't this a mom name by now? I like it for boys but it's so overused on girls.
Freya - Love it, I know it's popular but it's still cool for me.
Mairead - I've never seen this IRL, I like it.
Harper - Prefer for a boy but it's okay. I just feel like it doesn't fit most girls.
Blossom - Good for a hippie style middle name, but not a first name.
Cherry - It either feels a stripper name or an old-fashioned nickname for something like Cheryl or Cherise.
Malia - Not quite my style but it's good.
Rose - Also good, but I usually think of it as a middle name.

---

Alexander (Sandy) - Alexander is good but very common, Sandy is less common and more interesting. Sandy sounds a little dated but I like it. Also Sandor/Sander, Sasha, etc.
Leo - Good, I like it (prefer as a nickname for a long Leo- name)
Calum - Pretty good, but maybe prefer Callum
Cooper - I feel like this is more of a dog name but I know it's popular for humans
Dale - This is a name for someone's hillbilly grandpa. If I had to honor a Dale I'd go with Dalen or something.
Frank - Another hillbilly grandpa. There is nothing attractive about the name Frank lol
Harrison - This is pretty good, it's a surname that actually works as a first name and a much better full name for Harry than Henry is IMO.
Stanley - Also nothing attractive about this

Mackenzie-Not my thing
Freya-I have a friend with this name, but it isn’t really my thing
Mairead-My school librarian’s first name is this. How is it pronounced? Her name rhymed with Parade
Harper-Not my thing, but I’ve only met nice Harpers
Blossom-Sounds like an old lady name
Cherry-Good for a dog
Malia-Lovely!
Rose-Very nice, I prefer it as a nickname for Rosalie

---

Alexander (Sandy)-Nice, the nickname is a surprise
Leo-I like it on a dog
Calum-Not my thing
Cooper-Okay
Dale-Dislike
Frank-Not my thing
Harrison-Don’t like last names as first names
Stanley-I can only think of the water bottles girls my age are obsessed with

I like Mairead, Malia, and Rose.
