  • Cora is fine. The other 2 girls are meh.

    I have a terrible association with Ezra so it's out in my book. Tennyson is nms. And I like Jasper for a dog.

  • I kind of like Cora. Phaedra makes me think of Atlanta housewives. And I wouldn't use Georgia.

    Ezra I associate with Pretty Little Liars. And I'm not a fan of the other two.

    Clearly I watch too much tv if all these names make me think of characters ha

  • I like Cora, Phaedra is nms, and Georgia is ok, but not one I'd likely use.

    LOVE Ezra, Jasper is cute but wouldn't use it, and Tennyson is also really cute, but I probably wouldn't use it.

  • Cora - adorable. It's actually what I named my car, lol.
    Phaedra - pretty and uncommon, but I like others more.
    Georgia - nms at all.

    Ezra - meh; there are other "old" names I like better (Elijah, for example)
    Jasper - I kind of like it, and it's uncommon, but it's my dad's cat's name.
    Tennyson - again, nms to use surnames as first names.

    February 2013: IUI #1 = BFN 
    October 2013: We made the decision to stop TTC and live without children.

    Nestie Besties with Xan921 
  • Cora isn't too bad, but wouldn't make the list.
    Phaedra: NMS
    Love Georgia, but it wouldn't make the list.

    Ezra: I actually like it, but that's because I have a soft spot for biblical names.  Prefer Nehemiah though, if I'm going to do a biblical name. ;-)
    Jasper: LOVE, but H would veto it in a milisecond.  And it kind of reminds me of Twilight.
    Tennyson:  Like this one too, but again H wouldn't go for it. 

    Our children would all have different names if it weren't for H's input.  He likes traditional names.  Lame.

    Cora- I like but wouldn't use. My cousins wife's name is Cora and I try to avoid family names. Which is hard since there are over 100 in my moms family from her siblings down.

    Phaedra- no.
    Georgia- is ok. I looooove Georgina, though.

    No to all boy names. I have a cousin named Ezra. Tennyson is ok, but nms. I really dislike Jasper.

  • Cora - I don't hate it, but NMS.

    Phaedra - No (even if it didn't remind me of Real Housewives).

    Georgia - Nah.


    Ezra - I like it, but it reminds me of someone from college, so no.

    Jasper: Sounds like a pet name to me.

    Tennyson:  I kinda like it, but probably wouldn't make the list.

  • I don't really like any of them. I don't have any weird associations with them. They're just NMS.

  • Cora - NMS. All I can think of is Downton Abbey.
    Phaedra - Ick. Definitely not.
    Georgia - I actually really like this one, mostly as homage to where my parents met and were raised. I don't think DH would go for it, though. :(

    Ezra - Nope.
    Jasper - Not for a human. My furbaby's name is Jasper. :) And, yes, I was going through a Twilight phase when I named him.
    Tennyson - NMS.

    BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
  • Cora - It's ok, but I'd never use it.  Every girl that I've met named Cora have been girls I can't stand.
    Phaedra - Nope. Nope. Nope. 
    Georgia - I don't like this name for us, but I can see how it would be right for others.

    Ezra - Don't hate, but wouldn't use it.
    Jasper - I've only ever known animals to be named Jasper.
    Tennyson - It's unique and different, which makes me like it, but I don't think we'd use it.

  • Cora is the root of my #1 girl pick, after my grandmother. Ithe other girls are mms. I like the boy names but I don't think DH would.
