Do not use: Rider, Pacey, Hendrix, Wentworth, Marti, Eleanor, Eileen, Payton, Scottie, Marin, Austen, Josephine.



Also, I would not use name that could be used for a boy or girl.

For a Boy:

Rider- I like the name but I think that it is becoming a bit to common

Pacey (Pace)- I like it. The only Pacey that I have ever heard of is off of the show "dawson's Creek" Its unique

Todd- Too common. I think you might be able to use it as a middle name.

Marty- sorry I am not fond of this name.

Hendrix- It sounds more like a last name. ALthough it might just be because I know people with this as their last name.

Oscar- Nope

Wentworth- Nope

Leo- Nope



For a Girl:

Andrea (Andie)- I like Andie but not sure how I feel about Andrea

Marti- Sorry still do not like it much

Eleanor (Ellie)- I like the nickname but the first name is a little old fashioned.

Eileen- a little old fashioned

Peyton- I like it. Although I personally like Payton better

Nora- Sorry I have personal reason to dislike this name

Scottie- Sounds like a puppy name

Penelope (Penny)- Nope

Marin- Could like it. Might grow on me

Austen- Its a last name

Carly- Love it

Josephine (Joey/Jo)- this is one of my grandmas names. I like the names although I consider it very old fashioned. I like the nicknames and Josie for another nickname.

Anneliese- I think this would be to hard for your daughter to spell and I think that it may get pronounced wrong.



I am not trying to be mean by my answers, just giving my opinion.

For a Boy:

Rider - 8...I love it when it's spelled Ryder or Rhyder



Pacey (Pace) - 2 This sounds like a name my best friend would like though



Todd - 0, reminds me of Fox & the Hound and is kind of an old name



Marty - 0 Just not too fond of it



Hendrix - 4 This is okay...I like Henley a lot, for boy or girl



Oscar - 0 Reminds me of Sesame Street & I just don't like the sound of it



Wentworth - 0 This looks German or something to me



Leo - 1 Not feeling it



For a Girl:

Andrea (Andie) - 3 This is okay but very common



Marti - 2 Okay, I like Marni though



Eleanor (Ellie) - I like Ellie, not Eleanor, too old ladyish for a kid. I know a little girl named Elizabeth and she's called Ellie. There are so many ways to use this nickname- Gabrielle, Elizabeth, Elaina, Ellasyn, Elyse...or just use Ellie! :)



Eileen - 0 Just don't like this



Peyton - 100000! I loveee this name <3



Nora - 8 I like Norah better, but very cute name



Scottie - 2



Penelope (Penny) - 0



Marin - 4



Austen - 10! Austin is on my name list for a girl <3 Austen and Austyn are also cute ways to make it more feminine.



Carly - 8 Carlee? I don't like your spelling but I like the name



Josephine (Joey/Jo) - 0 Sorry



Anneliese - 7 Cute, and cute spelling



You have some VERY cute names, and I love that you don't choose usual, common names :)

Rider makes me think of a motorbike! I love the name though if it is spelled Ryder. I think this spelling looks a lot better.



Pacey I've got too admit I'm not mad about it. Also rhymes with Stacy which is feminine.



Todd I'm not a huge fan off.



Marty reminds me of Marty Pellow!



Hendrix reminds me of Jimmy!



Oscar is a name that I have never really liked. Sounds like a cats name, but thats just my opinion.



Wentworth sounds really snobby to me!



Leo I used to really like this name however I was once on a bus and a pitbull terrior dog came on with its owner and the dog was called Leo. So that put me off the name.



Andrea is ok. I'm not keen on the nickname Andie though because everyone I know called Andie or Andy is male!



Marti reminds me of the girl in the movie Grease!



Eleanor (Ellie) is ok.



Eileen is a bit old fashioned for my liking.



Peyton is beautiful. I really like this one.



Nora is beautiful too. I like it spelled Norah though.



Scottie reminds me of a scottie dog!



Penelope reminds me of Penelope Cruz



Marin: I'm not sure about the pronounciation. I'm guessing its pronounced like Karen?



Austen I really like for a boy only.



Carly is ok, a bit popular though. It also doesn't seem to fit in with any of your other names!



Josephine I'm not a huge fan off.



Anneliese I absolutely love! My future daughter will be called Anneliese! That spelling and all!

How about :

Tatianna

Jasmine

Kylie

Akira

Isabella

Victoria

Willow

Brianna

Mikaela

Makenna

June

Autumn

Aurora

Fern

Fionna

Alessia

Samara

Kaylen

Kaylie

Arianna

Kaiya

Kyrie

MaryJane

Adrianne

Coraline

Alanna

Ariel

Arianna

Anastasia

Star

Here is a website I use to look for names and it even has a name suggestion that if you type in a name, it will give you a list of names that go with it, how popular the name is and what the names mean, what languages they were derived from, etc. http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/

☼ Rider - this name is a very poor choice, leading to years upon years of torment for the kid, numerous jokes and plays on the word of his name, as well as hours after school spent in the trashcan / stuffed in a locker. personally, i hate this name. it sounds like a sex-thing. (sez mai frand).



☼ Pacey (Pace) - this name sucks for either sex, especially male. it reminds me of spaghetti sauce. i can not honestly, in any way, shape, or form, picture being forced to call a friend of mine by this name.



☼ Todd - i am absolutely in love with this name; not really, but it is a very nice name, and i personally like it. it is a good name for a kid, as well as an adult, and it works. i can picture this being someones name, unlike anything you have mentioned so far.



☼ Marty - though this name sounds cute, it would not be smart to use as a name. though it would work obviously for a child, it would not be good to grow up with.



no time to finish. gotta go.
