Layla - I like it but won't use it.

Dylan - For some reason, I like this as a girl name better. Regardless, won't use it as DH's cousin has a kid with that name

Maria - nice name, nms.

Jesus - The ultimate name, but I wouldn't ever use it for a child simply because it would feel irreverent. Not saying it is not ok for someone else to use, that's just my personal conviction. I wouldn't side-eye anyone else for using it.

(I also found it interesting that 101 was Maria (Mary) and Jesus Kinda fun!)

Marisol - It's a very pretty name, but kinda reminds me of parasol and is just nms.

Omari - no

Layla: Not bad.
Dylan: No thank you.
Maria: Too aged for me.
Jesus: Negative
Marisol: Too Spanish for me.
Omari: No thanks.

islandmonkey8 · April 2014

Girl: Layla - Not bad, but NMS

Boy: Dylan - Nope. Does make me think of 90210 though!

Girl: Maria - Nice, but wouldn't use it.

Boy: Jesus - No.

Girl: Marisol - Very Spanish, NMS.

Boy: Omari - NMS, Though, if we were to use it, I like is better as a girl's name.

I like Layla and Dylan but their not even on our long list (which is hilarious that we even HAVE a list but whatevs). The rest are gross IMO.

No judgement here. We have a shared list we can both access on our phones. We'll randomly add and remove names from it when we think of ones.

nightmare_of_beauty · April 2014

Layla - I like it, but would never use it

Dylan - Know too many

Maria - Too close to Marie for me which EVERY girl on my ILs side has that as their middle name

Jesus - NMS

Marisol - Devious Maids!

Omari - No

lfk2013 · April 2014

Layla - I like it, but it wouldn't make the cut since there are others I like way more.
Maria - "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" Nope.
Marisol - As neither DH nor I are Hispanic, nope.

Dylan - Love! It's going on the list!
Jesus - Absolutely not. And I'd definitely side eye someone who did name their kid this.
Omari - Cute, but NMS.

nfp147 · April 2014

Nope to all.

BreMae · April 2014

The only one I kind of like is Dylan. But it wouldn't go with our last name.

seahorse01 · April 2014

I don't have a strong feeling about any of them except for Jesus. Not a fan. ha!

MRads · April 2014

We need to pick better random numbers.

No to all.

BackseatDriver · April 2014

Layla and Dylan. NMS. I find it funny that these are ranked the same because I have family members with these names.

Maria- too boring, plain IMO

Jesus- I'm not Christian so this would be a very unusual choice. I'm assuming this one is pronounced hey-soos.

Marisol- I think this is a beautiful name, but I don't have the ethnicity to use it.

Omari- Nope. Don't care for this name at all.

LuckyAngel07 · April 2014

No to actually using any of these, although some of them are fine for others to use (Layla, Dylan, Maria).

Side note: We had every intention of naming our Boxer Laila (which would have been really funny, considering we found out that was actually her mom's name!), but once we got her home, we realized she just wasn't a Laila!

sparklingdiamond · April 2014

Not really a fan of any of these.

arj14 · April 2014

Layla - Like it but wouldn't use it, probably

Dylan - Like it

Maria - nms

Jesus - no thank you

Marisol - pretty! but wouldn't use it

Omari - I like Omar better

mrshall1027 · April 2014

My MIL's name is Leila and I like it a lot. We won't be naming our child after her though.

H's friend is named Dylan and he's a douche, so no.

Maria is nice, but nms.

No to Jesus.

I have a really good friend named Marisol and I like the name, but wouldn't use it.

Omari = Yuck!

sgautschi · April 2014

All are either NMS or too "ethnic" for me.

poppies717 · April 2014

Layla: Nope
Dylan: Blah
Maria: Eh
Jesus: No
Marisol: No, but it's very pretty
Omari: I think this name is beautiful, but we would never use it

CincodeMayoLove · April 2014

I love Layla and originally (when i was 10) this was going to be my daughters name. Layla Corinne (the 2 names from big daddy). My brother named his daughter Ava Lorynn, which is way too close sounding, and now I have a Lola (dog) so that doesn't work.

Dylan is the middle name for our runners up girl's name (Gwen Dylan)
I also like Dillon as a boys name but know to many to pick it.

No to the rest.

stephkf · April 2014

I don't like any of them.
