Yuck!:
Nyxie
Kh'Leta (Jayden [m], Naveah, Ky'Airah, Ayanna, Pinkie [f]) - lucky Ayanna, the only one with a relatively normal name.
Lylith, Kaynen, Liberty
Eve-Anglenene - why not Eve Angeline? WTF is Anglenene?
Sunnee Autumn - with the surname D-a-y it's simply silly. Autumn is good on it's own.
Summer - just Summer would be fine. Even Summer Sun would be OK. Summer Zyn makes me think "Summer Sin".
Evalaia Galen - Evalaia makes me think "ever lying" and Galen means "mad" in Swedish
Lilah Nectar - lilac juice?
Tobi Pepper
Rhythm Selen - sellin' rhythm?
Swayzee
Iathy
Hoyt
Canyon
Cayde Listen - he won't
Shawn Shorty James
Tupac
Aerys Adonis Moon
Gettaud - get out?!
Trillyn Jace
Bryson Ironhorse
Brazos Oak - arms made of oak?
Invictus
Harley Storm
Iver Rhames & Roark Loring
Forest Boone

Love:

Elspeth Briar Rose - It's GP, but I love it! Totally medieval.
Sonja
Ismene Vivianne
Aella Imogen
Maebh Genoveva - Another medieval gem, though unless this is in Ireland, Maebh is going to have pronunciation issues (I usually see Maeve in the states).
Calla (but not Jo, unless it's short for Josephine)
&
Jeremiah
Lucas Kermit - I'm not denying the flow of this. Total GP.
Atlas Montgomery - Ditto.
Calvin Edward Invictus - Tritto.

Like:

Priscilla Ione (but not "Lylith")
Violet (but none of those middle names!)
Summer
Hestia
Pearl and Rose (but not in the same combo)
Úna Hélène
&
Daedalus (GP, but too much with Perseus)
Carter Jacob (I'm not commenting on the second middle, since it looks like it's from a culture not my own)
Shawn James (I'm hoping "Shorty" is a nickname)
Emmanuel (but it's too much with Shepard)
Jonathan
David Tyler (seems a bit 90s though?)
Forest Boone

---

Uh... what?:

---

Nyxie
Kh'Leta, Ky'Airah, and again I'm hoping Pinkie is a nickname
Sunnee Autumn + surname = Lifetime of Teasing
Tobi Pepper - I just think this sounds ridiculous, sorry.
Rhythm
Swayzee - Seriously?
Bellamy Gialdino - I read this and immediately assumed the bearer was male, especially with that middle name.
Cayde Listen - "Cayde! Listen to your Momma!"
Tupac - Seriously?
Aerys Adonis Moon - Oh, for goodness sake, how mad a tyrant do you want this kid to be?
Trillyn Jace - I initially read that as "Thrillin". Trillyn isn't much better.
Roark Loring - This just doesn't sound attractive at all, sorry.

Why would anybody name their kid Shorty?

Swayze

---

Swayze is not uncommon in Mississippi for either sex. The baseball field at Ole Miss is called Swayze Field after Tom Swayze (star player in college and later a long time coach of the team) and from my research, the Swayze family were some of the earliest settlers in the Natchez area. Natchez is one of the best preserved towns from before the civil war and had many grand plantations and there is still a lot of 'old money' there. Patrick Swayze was also a descendent of that family. There is a well known attorney in my town with the surname Swayze and it's not uncommon to hear it as a surname.

---

More often than not though, I see it as a first name. I think I've had one Swayze in at least one of my classes each semester (all female). One of the kids that I babysit is best friends with a male Swayze who is about 11.

---

I did a bit of research on this when I started seeing or hearing it around so much. I think the first time I ever saw a BA for a Swayze, before I lived here, I thought it was in honor of Patrick Swayze or something but I think even that was a Mississippi BA. Maybe quads where one of the girls was called Swayze?

---

Anyway, I don't know where your BA is from but I thought I'd share that :)

Just going to give very immediate thoughts

---

Poor Pinkie, I don't like her siblings names, but I get the appeal. Pinkie is... awful.

---

I can't decide if I like Nectar or if I think it's weird.

---

I like Cleo on a boy, but I wonder how hard it will be to live with in present society.

---

Listen is a nice sound, but as a nickname it almost seems just silly. Like when the kid's getting in trouble and you're adding on names it sounds more like "Cayde, Listen!"

---

Una and Yves are a gorgeous set and Una Helene is a beautiful combo.

Sorry about the dead computer, but these are great anyway.

---

Kh'Leta is silly, but I'd rather have it as a name than Pinkie!
Eve-Anglenene. Crikey. Not a fan of Evangeline, but it didn't deserve that
I like the meaning of Aella. Had to laugh at the person who commented 'this name is paella without the p!'
Vaguely fascinated by Cleo David and also wondering if they just left an n off.
Tautailousamailoaloufaasinomago seems to be Samoan (there's an article online on his mum, or someone with the same name as her) I wonder what it means?

That is one hell of a list..
Random first impressions..

---

I kinda like Ilea.
Nyxie was a character in book I read (year 2060 setting)
How does one pronounce Kh'Leta kuh-LEE-tah?
Eve-Anglenene: These people really like e's..
Look, this girl is starring in some kind of 12+ novel, but why not Sunny Autumn, WHY?
Calla is nice, Hoyt is horrendous and sounds like a hacking.

---

Atlas is kinda cool,
Daedalus Perseus (Hestia): Some people just really love Greek Mythology (I suppose it's better than e's)
I'm impressed that there have been three Robert Herman Hashimoto's already.
Why call your kid Shorty? They do grown..
Trillyn... ugh,
Calling your kid Invictus is kind of a power move..

Ok, nectar grosses me out for some reason. Swayzee is hilarious. Nyxie sounds like lice shampoo. Trillyn??? Daedalus is... a lot.

Yikes.

---

This list ... just wow. Some interesting names but mostly just pain.

---

The good ones:

---

Ismene Vivianne —creative (not tryndee, but truly imaginative) and euphonious name. BTW don’t we have an Ismene here?

---

Calvin Edward Invictus — love the Calvin Edward part, and Invictus is a bold choice in the second middle slot.

---

David Tyler — he lucked out SO much with a much better name than his sibling.

---

Úna Heléne and Yves Norman — naming perfection. Meaningful, balanced, creative without being ridiculous, nods to history. Their parents get an A+ for awesome naming skillz.

---

Maeve Genoveva — mixing name languages like this often doesn’t work, but I think this one does.

---

Bah, the usual trendy fare:

---

Harley Storm — it’s a baby, not a motorcycle.

---

Aerys Adonis Moon — tries WAY too hard to be esoteric and just sounds like the name of a character in a bad fantasy novel.

---

Atlas Montgomery — Atlas is a big name to live up to, and honestly most don’t fit the bill. This will be especially ironic on a kid who grows up to be nerdy and not very physically fit.

---

Calla Jo — This seems cutesy and incomplete. Calla isn’t terrible but the Jo part ... Josephine would have been so much better.

---

Nyxie Renee — Nyx is a really interesting, strong, “underused classic” name that I’d love to see used more. Adding an -ie takes it out of the “interesting old Greek” category and puts it firmly in the “yet another trendy cutesy girl name” box.
