Answer 1

Ashley - yes. Classic name, not easily outdated. Great name for both an adult and a child. However, Ashley is a very popular name.

Jennifer - yes. Cute name, and also great for adults as well as children. It also has great nicknames for ease of conversations, including Jenn (Jen), Jenny (Jennie), Jenna, and all other additional spellings =]

Jessica - maybe. I think that Jessica is a great name for a child, but not so much for an adult. It is a great name if it is your style, it just isn't MY style. So if you like this name, full speed ahead! It's great that it is not a made-up sounding name, but a classic. Great nicknames include Jessie and Jess.

Anna - yes. Classic name, great for little girls. Anne and Ann are also beautiful.

Lauren - yes. Beautiful name as well. Laurie is a great nickname.

Andrea - yes. I love this name. Classic and beautiful for a professional adult as well as a little girl.

Sophie - maybe. Great name for a little girl, but not so much for an adult persuing a professional career. This name is great if it is your style, however, it is not MY style. So if you like it, go right ahead! It's a great name!

Sophia - maybe. I prefer Sophie.

Julia - yes. However, Julie is preferable in my opinion.

Julie - yes. I like this name, and it is great for children as well as adults.

Brooke - yes. Elegant and classic name, and adorable.

Taylor - yes. Cute as well, and especially for a girl (I don't like Taylor for a boy.)

Christian - yes. Cute name that is not too popular, but does not sound made-up.

Eric - Yes. Classic name, great for little boys in addition to adults. Not too popular and overused, either

Daniel - yes. I like this name, as it is classic and traces all the way back to the Bible. Cute name for kids and adults alike.

Robert - yes. This name provides many options for nicknames such as Bob, Rob, Bobby, Bert, etc, although I prefer just plain Robert.

Kenny - no. This is my least favorite name on the list. It seems okay for kids, but not so much for adults.

Jason - maybe. This is a great name, just not my taste. However, it is a classic name with not too much overusage and popularity.

Jeremy - no. Same as above =]

Jesse - no. I like Jessie for a girl, but Jess and Jesse are not my idea of a great boy's name.

My favorites:
Jennifer and Andrea
Christian and Eric, but I like Daniel as well

My least favorites:
Kenny and Jesse
Sophia and Jessica

All of your names are great!! I love the non-modern and classic names as opposed to modern, made up sounding names. Very cute names and great list!!

Hope this helps
Good luck and God bless

Answer 2

I like the name Sophie. I have a friend names Sophie and she is the most wonderful person I have ever met. Plus its not that common and there wont be seven Shophies in her class.

And for a boy I like the name Kenny. It is my fathers name and he is a smart fella. All the guys I know named Kenny have done well in their life.

I am not saying that a name has to do with how well your child will do in life, but thats just saying that name is important and a name is who you are.

hope you find what is in your heart and figure out a great name for your child. What ever you choose will be the best.

Answer 3

I can't pick a name, but I think the best way to pick a baby name is to put down 1st name choices and middle name choices then add the child's last name.... Now yell out the name, if it doesn't sound good being yelled out, then you know that is not the one...

Answer 4

1. Remember that your child will have this name for their whole life, so make it something special to be proud of.

2. Write lists of names you love, people you want to honor, names that have special meanings, etc (both you and your partner should do this). Compare the lists - are there names you both love? Maybe your partner likes a name that you can't stand. Cross off the names you don't like and add names you do like to your list. These lists will change over time.

3. Make sure it's a name that you both love. Try saying your child's name over and over to see if you'll get tired of hearing it. One very important factor is if the name will age. It's easy to imagine a child named Coco, but can you see a grown up named Coco?

4. Make sure the name sounds good with your last name. Don't ever use a name whose last letter is the same as the first letter in your last name (i.e. George Johnson, Annabell Loor, Roger Rine).

5. Try not to choose a name that is inspired by your beliefs. Sometimes people name their children after a historic/biblical name. Keep in mind that when your children grow up, they may not choose to have the same beliefs.

6. Decide when you want to reveal the name. Some couples wait until the baby is born, while others tell their family, friends, and anyone who asks right away.

7. Think about how it might be shortened. Lots of people shorten their names, and you need to choose one that you like and will still sound good with your surname - e.g. the names Richard Wickes might sound OK, but what if he prefers to be called Rick?

8. Try not to choose names so that your children - particularly if they are the same sex - have the same initials. When they are older and a letter arrives for J. Smith, how will you know if it's for Josh, Jack, Joseph or Jordan?


Tips

* If you are expecting multiples, see if the names sound good with each other. Are they too similar? Twins Alexander and Alexandra are never going to forgive you!

* Also think about not naming all of your kids in a theme, such as Emerald, Ruby, and Opal.

* If you last name is the butt of many jokes (Hogg, Pigg, etc.), don't name your kids anything to accentuate that. Ima, Shesa and Youra is just cruel.

* Make sure your kid can live with the name.

* Put your name through the "bully" test. Rhyme it with anything you can think of, look for hidden words in the name, etc. Have a small child help you if you can't think of anything. Kids are very quick to spot odd things about names and exploit them.

* Look at the initials to see if they spell something embarrassing. Andrew Samuel Sanderson won't be happy to share his middle name with anyone.

* Google your choice to make sure it hasn't been co-opted by strippers and porn stars.

* Check the Social Security Administration's website to see the popularity of the name.

* Don't get cute and creative with spelling. It doesn't make the name more unique or different, it will sound the same. This just causes problems with no one ever getting your child's name correct and a lot of bureaucratic hassle later in life.

* Short names go better with long last names and vice versa. A long name with a long surname will look and sound odd.

* Don't make your kid sound like a stripper. Avoid Brandii, Mandii, Candii, Tamii, etc.


Warnings

* Your child will carry this name for the rest of his/her life. This living being will be an adult for far longer than they will be a cute adorable baby. Choose a name that will serve them throughout life, not one that is cute and adorable. Don't embarrass this future adult by being overly whimsical and silly. Wayne Dwopp won't thank you when he is being teased in school.

* If you use an invented spelling of the name, carefully look at it and show it to others in order to avoid embarrassing the child later in life.
