  • No to all of them.

  • Ashlyn - so much no. I rank this with a girl from HS naming her daughter Briley. So not good.
    Hyacinth - beautiful flower, awful person name.
    Shelby - considered it for our female dog, haha. Not so much for a person

    Brice - only ever seen this spelled "Bryce", which looks better to me and I don't mind, but wouldn't use.
    Cory - another one that I don't mind, but wouldn't use.
    Drew - like is a nn for Andrew, but have other names I love way more that would get used before considering Andrew.

    You've never heard of these flowers? It's pronounced HI-uh-sinth.
