    All of these are pretty awful, with the exception of Kai. Linnea and Leif are the most offensive.

    If someone says "I wouldn't side eye (insert awful name here)" I am going to throw my shoe at my computer screen. I feel like it is said in every NOTD post.

    I actually kind of like Leilani, just because I like the meaning.

    I don't like Anya, but Anna is our girl name.

    They're all NMS. I do like Anya, but I'd forever think of Disney's Anastasia :)

    I know an amazing Linnea and a super sweet Leilani, but they  aren't names I would use.  The others aren't either.

    I also know a fabulous Linnea so I love that name. Anya reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer...but in a good way.

    The boy names are NMS.

    How do you find a name offensive?  Anya and Leif are NMS, but I like all of the other ones including Linnea and Soren.  Probably helps that I also know a super amazing Linnea.... ;-)

    Some people have nothing better to do than be offended by names.

    I kind of like Soren.  This may also be because there is a Soren who appears in cracked.com videos who's a cutie.

    It's an expression. Quit trying to start things. Nice that you wanted to add your $0.02 in hopes of garnering a few pathetic "love it's" but no one cares what you have to say.

    I'm guessing Lucky's name is Linnea, which absolutely made my day. It is very fitting.

    I'm not trying to start anything.  I don't think you're using the expression properly.  LOLOLOLOL that you think I commented to get "love it's".  I commented because you're rude, and I don't like you <--- that's starting shit.

    I love the name Leilani because it reminds me of my godmother. Other than that I have no feelings to any of these names. I am indifferent.

    Maybe that's because I'm a horrible person.
