Answer 1

All but Simba...the rest are fine.

Answer 2

People tend to make fun or single out kids that have name they associate with other things . For example : Simba and Belle from Disney movies. Really think about how the name is going to look in 10 years and 25 years. Is that name going to help your child into adulthood and a successful career? Names that are spelled oddly are also problematic if they are usually spelled a certain way. Example: Ean- Ian and Kenie-Kenny. Our names also give us a particular impression of what a person is going to look like, even before we meet them. I bet if you asked 10 people to draw a picture of Sherman they would say, short, balding and wears glasses. Berrie might be cute at 3 months but what if your child becomes overweight or has bad acne as a teenager. You can fill their life with a world of pain if their given name could point out a flaw. Save those names for nick names or if you must, a middle name. Name your kid for success. Life is hard enough without a name you always have to respell, and explain, just because your parents thought they were being creative.

Answer 3

Other kids would make fun of some of those names. Also, you'd only be creating trouble for the kid by using unusual spellings of regular names. They'd have to spend a lifetime correcting people - like Joye and Wyatte - what's the point of the e at the end?

I'd also avoid Rylie as a boy's name - it's become a girl's name. You could switch it to your girl's list - I like it for a girl. Simba would be made fun of because of Lion King. Sherman just sounds too nerdy. I'd avoid Berrie too.

From your list, I'd pick Wyatt for a boy and Rylie for a girl.

Answer 4

To be truthful some are ok but most sound made up and foolish. Leslie and Wyatt seem common enough. Joy and Sophie is also ok. When you start making up names that are not heard of it makes it very difficult to know how to spell them. As in the case of Kiarae. So when telling this name would a person think it was Carrie or Kerrie, or who would ever guess your spelling? The word Boyz I am guessing you mean boys? Which tells me you are either being funny or you don't know how to spell boys.

Answer 5

Most of these names aren't bad but Joye and Berrie are not great for girls. Joye isn't bad but I'd drop the e.

Boys... Wyatte, no, Rylie is a great name for a boy (I'm thinking of that one myself) but the spelling is off. Riley is better because Rylie looks like a girls name. Anything with "ie" at the end that does NOT usually end in "ie" looks like you're adapting it to fit a female. Like "ko" at the end of Japanese names usually denotes a girl's name, "ie" is pretty much the same in English. Kenie, same...Sherman is kinda dorky unless it's in the family and Simba...I just think it's a pets' name. But that one is debatable I guess.

Answer 6

I love the names Belle and Kiarea for a girl. I think it will give the girl a unique trait :D

And for the boys, Brethan is nice. But Simba might cause some issues.. haha.

Answer 7

I think they are all nice names, but hey, you name you "child" what ever you want to - who are we to judge - only thing that I ask is that you take the name you choose and put it about 15-20 years ahead of it - can someone be mean and cruel and turn it into something it's not? Kids/people can be cruel

Answer 8

None of the names are retarded. But remember for boys that soft names make soft men. So Wyatte is good, but Brethan and Simba are soft. I have no opinion other than give your boys strong manly names.

Answer 9

Try not to spell the names in an odd way:
Joy, not Joye; Wyatt, not Wyatte; Ian, not Ean; Riley, not Rylie.

Simba, Brethan, Sherman, Kenie are not good.
Simba is the Disney lion. No one has ever named a child that.

Answer 10

Well Sherman reminds me of The Nutty Proffesor,
LOL
I like Sophie for a girl and I'd go wih Ian for a guy!
:]

Answer 11

No Berrie or Simba. Other than that, they sound good, but ditch the "cutesy" spellings and use the actual spellings ("Kenie"=Kenny, "Rylie"=Reilly, etc.); otherwise, you're just setting them up to have their name misspelled all their life.
