I dislike every boys name except: Louis, Samuel, and James.

Mostly I don't like the others because, they are too old school, and I know so many people with those names, or most of them.



Louis Elijah

Samuel Jacoby

James Wyatt



My favorite girls names are: Alice, Annie, Ella, and Florence.

I like most of the girls names, but some are too old fashioned for me, like Martha. I would never name my child that.



Alice Louise

Annie Elice [ee-lee-sss]

Ella Brynn

Florence Joy [Florie for short]
