  • 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

    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.

  • 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.



    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.
  • 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!

    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.

    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.
