  • I like Poppy and Viola, that last one is a huge no in my book.

    I don't care for any of the boy names.

  • Viola - Indifferent

    Poppy - It's pretty, but not sure if I would use it

    Blakeley - Not a fan

    Damian - Don't like this one

    Logan - It's ok, but I wouldn't use it.

    Zachary - I am indifferent towards it (though it just makes me think of Saved by the Bell!)

  • Viola: Cute, but I prefer Violet. Still nms though

    Poppy: nms but I wouldn't side eye someone for using it

    Blakeley: NO. I absolutely WOULD side eye anyone using it.

    Damian: nms. I could see my brother/sil using it though for some reason.

    Logan: nice name but nms

    Zachary: Love it, but thanks to IF, it's already been "stolen" by a good friend. Lots of my names have been stolen, unfortunately. I guess "stolen" isn't right because none of the friends knew I liked the names... but I've still had to scratch quite a few off my list b/c close friends used the good ones! :(

    I love Poppy, especially as a nn for Penelope. The other two are nms.

    I wouldn't side eye but wouldn't use any of the boy names.

  • Out of all the names the only ones I kind of like are Viola and Logan. Viola because it's from Shakespeare and Logan just sounds like a nice boy's name lol. Neither are on our list, though.

  • Viola: Beautiful name and love it.  Would want it pronounced like "VEEola."  But of course H would tell me it's too weird.

    Poppy: Meh.

    Blakely: NMS

    Damian:  Don't care for.

    Logan: Cute, but wouldn't use.

    Zachary: Like it, but probably wouldn't use it. Too blah for me.

  • Viola - meh.

    Poppy - It's pretty, but not really for us.

    Blakeley - I am going to be the weirdo here, but I love Blakeley.  I would totally use this name, but I think DH would veto me. Side eye away!

    Damian - It sounds like a rich snob.

    Logan - It's ok, but I wouldn't use it.  There are too many little boys with this name right now.

    Zachary - This is one boy's name that DH and I agree on.  I'm not sold on it, but I would use it before a lot of other common names.

  • Logans are naughty.  So are Damians.  Those are out. I like Zachary, but it probably won't make our list. 

    The girls names are not my style.
