Re: NOTD Thursday!
Allie - I like it, but as a nn for Allison. Still, wouldn't use it
Jayce - it's one of the better "invented names" but nms
Julissa - I actually think this is quite pretty, but nothing I'd use
Donald - Strong, good name and is a family name for me. Still wouldn't use it unless as a middle name.
Liberty - I have actually really loved this name for years... with the nn Libby. I'd never be able to get the boy on board with it though. Maybe a dog someday... lol
Kian - no. And I don't see it as a variation of Cian, but that's prob b/c we've got a Cian in the fam and his name is pronounced like Shawn.
