Help[Opinions] Names on my mind and BAs
Two girls I know, I think they're both 17, had baby girls called Amelia Lily (double first name) and Robyn. I heard that if Robyn had been a boy they were set on Reuben.
Onto the names on my mind. I'd like your opinions on...
Anastasia
Dakota (for a boy)
Stellan
Milena
Delphine
Stefan
Mirabelle
I'm sure there was more but I can't remember. Anyway, TIA! :)

Amelia Lily is pretty, but hard to say as a double name. It's the "elia-lily" part...
I think Robyn is still too dated (and useless since Robin is perfectly good for either gender... and a robin is a bird but robyn isn't even a word... :P).
I like Anastasia. It's too complicated for me to use but I like seeing it. As long as she isn't called Stacy, I like it :)
Dakota is kind of cool. I see this name on dogs a lot though, so I've got a bit of a canine association.
Stellan is good, a sounds similar to a lot of boring names but not boring itself and not really all that common.
Milena is pretty but not particularly interesting. I'd like to meet one.
Delphine is pretty and I like the Delphi association. For some reason I always think this is a good mermaid name. I would use it but would like seeing it.
Stefan is good, but where I live I'd use Stephen instead. (I've known at least one Stefan who pronounced it like Stephen, but to me it looks like stef-AHN. I think that's a more common way to say it...)
Mirabelle is meh. Too shallow and princessy. Mirabel, on the other hand, is lovely... it's all in the spelling with this one :D
I think Robyn is still too dated (and useless since Robin is perfectly good for either gender... and a robin is a bird but robyn isn't even a word... :P).

Amelia Lily is a nice combo. I like Robin, but not that spelling. Anastasia is beautiful. Dakota is ok. I love the sound of it, but I'm not big on place names or unisex names. There's something that bothers me about Stellan... maybe it's that my mom is named Stella haha! I like Milena and Delphine. Stefan is just too close to Stephen for me. Mirabelle is adorable.

Anastasia- It's a bit too grand for me. But I don't mind it.
Dakota- I'm not a fan of this for either gender. It seems pseudo-Native American.
Stellan- It's not bad. I kind of like it.
Milena- Not familiar with this, but it's alright. The sounds, particularly the -lena part, are not my favorite.
Delphine- It reminds me of dolphins instantly. I wouldn't use it myself, but it's okay.
Stefan- Well, I like it better than Stephen, but again, not one I'd use.
Mirabelle- I've always had a soft spot for this name. Love it. Lately I'm preferring the simpler Mira though.

Both Amelia and Lily are nice names, but I think the sounds are too close.
Robyn only makes me think of the musician.
Reuben is OK.
Anastasia - I like it, but I'm a bit tired of it
Dakota (for a boy) - don't like it at all, especially not for a boy
Stellan - it's OK. I know a Stellan. It's not very common here
Milena - nms
Delphine - "delfin" is the Swedish word for dolphin, so that's all I can think of
Stefan - very common here and a typical "dad's name"
Mirabelle - frilly and pretty. Astrid Lindgren used it for a story about a girl who gets a magical, talking doll, but I think she spelled it Mirabell.

Reuben is way better than Robyn. Ugh.
I like Amelia Lily though.
Anastasia - Like it. Maybe a bit too frilly?
Dakota (for a boy) - Love it
Stellan - Ugh no. Stellan Skarsgård.
Milena - Prefer Melina, doesn't sound as foreign
Delphine - Dolphin?
Stefan - Very dated here, and oh so boring..
Mirabelle - Too frilly for me.

Aw, I like Amelia Lily. But I'm a fan of both names anyway. My sister says Amelia sounds like a disease and I guess it does a little bit but I still think it's pretty.
Robin > Robyn I don't like that 'y'. Robin > Reuben sandwich.
Anastasia: I see this one a lot. Most of the girls go by Nastya/Nastia though. Anastasia is pretty but large. And seeing it so much in the past few years has made me like it less.
Dakota: I like it on a girl but I'm warming up to it on a boy.
Stellan: Handsome.
Milena: Pretty but not really my style.
Delphine: Very pretty. Ethereal yet somehow grounded, too.
Stefan: Blah. Steven acting all snobby.
Mirabelle: A little too cutesy cowboy princess for me.

Amelia Lily - Not a big fan. I like Amelia more than Lily, though.
Robyn - I've never really liked this name.
Anastasia - I didn't use to like this, but recently it's grown on me. I like it a lot, now.
Dakota - Although I do prefer this on a boy, I still don't like it. I've seen it on a lot of dogs, so I think of a dog when I hear it.
Stellan - Hate it.
Milena - It's pretty, but nms.
Delphine - NMS. Prefer Daphne.
Stefan - I like this name.

Amelia Lily is lovely, and so is Reuben. I like Robin, but not Robyn, and really only on boys. Reuben and Amelia would make a nice sibset though. Maybe Amelia Lily and Reuben Benjamin?
Anastasia - lovely. A flowing historical name that would be frilly if it didn't have so much spirit.
Dakota - trying too hard to be cool.
Stellan - unless you're Swedish, also trying too hard to be cool, but in a less annoying way than Dakota.
Milena - very pretty, but hopping on the Mila bandwagon a little.
Delphine - also very pretty, but it doesn't sound like a real person. It should be a ship or a statue, not a little girl.
Stefan - strong, slightly unusual, handsome. I don't think you can go wrong.
Mirabelle - too frilly for my taste. Either go with Mira or Belle. That way it doesn't sound like a Southern antebellum debutante or a cow.
