    I'd venture to say that this name will make it to the top 10 in the next year or so.

    I also love how the meaning of Zayden is basically "made up name" lol.

  • Elsa: grandmother's name that my sister used for my niece's mn, so it's out of consideration, Frozen aside.
    Wilhelmina: nms at all
    Artemis: I've always loved Greek mythology and all, but I don't think I could use any of those names for a child (more likely to use them for a pet)

    Miles: it's cute, but not something I'd use
    Zayden: no to made up names. 
    L-)
    Painter: seriously? who actually names their kid Painter?? It's like saying, "Hey, Mechanic! Get over here!"

    I have a secret love for Wilhelmina, but my guess is H would veto it. I like it with nn Willa.

    The rest are nms and Zayden is bad, although I know 4 babies born in 2013 with Z names and I feel like that's becoming trendy.

  • Elsa - I love it, but our girl name is Elizabeth and it may be a stretch as a nn and wouldn't pair well as a mn.

    Milies - No, I have a cousin with that name already and he's kid of a troublemaker.

    Wilhelmina - No, NMS.

    Zayden - I wouldn't side eye it, but NMS.

    Artemis - No, not awful but NMS.
