I wouldn't use any of them.

I like Maisie as a nn but hate all the others.

I actually think all of the names today are cute.  I would only consider using Willa though.  If I had more money and a home in the Hamptons, I would use Beckett.

I like all of the boy names.

Maisie - NMS; Seems "old" to me.

Violet - NMS, but it's cute.

Willa - Umm, no.

Beckett - Nope. Not going to happen.

Garrett - I like this, but there are others I like more.

Ryder - Nope. I'm not naming my kid after a Disney character (which is what came to mind with this name...hello, "Tangled".)

Ryder will always be related to Ryder Strong from "Boy Meets World." Way before "Tangled"!!

Also, we considered Violet briefly, but DH ultimately wasn't feeling it, so it didn't really make the list. The other girl names are fine, just NMS.

Not a fan of the name Garrett. Beckett and Ryder are both okay; I think I'd use Beckett over Ryder, though.

I love Beckett, Willa and Violet, but I'm not sure I would use any of them.

I like Beckett and Garrett, but wouldn't use them for my own children. The girl names are not for me. Maisie is a cute nickname, though.

I like Violet for someone else's kid but wouldn't use it myself.

I don't like the others. Beckett is alright.

Beckett and Ryder are kinda cute, but not with our last name. The girls' names are nms.

I think they're all cute, but wouldn't use them. A few of them are names of my cousins so I wouldn't want to repeat them.

Beckett might be kind of cute-except I'd be afraid of nicknames too close to Becky because it'd be too confusing.

Xan921

I think Violet is really cute but would be more likely to use it as a middle name instead of a first name.  The other girls names are NMS.

I like all of the boys names a lot, especially Garrett.
