I like:
Ruby
Savannah
Asia

Lazarus (!)
Chance
Sawyer

Cadence - love it but can't use
Ivie - love if spelled correctly, Ivy
Respress - what in the world is this?
Rayne - I like it if its spelled Rain or Raine

---

Parker - my little brothers name, I picked it out so of course I love it.
Sawyer - love but can't use

Quite a few favorites here

---

Royal, love but only on a boy
Savanna, lovely but too popular, prefer Savanah
Seven, this name is sweet to me but seams more suitable for a boy. I like Eryka Badu's reason for naming her son this.
April, also sweet
Asia, nice but i would only use it if i had some connection to the continent

---

Tru, love, however this looks illiterate much prefer True
Kai, handsome
Zion, ditto
Parker, see above

'Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.' -- 1 Timothy 4:12

*eeeeeeek!* C-renity! Bleagh!

---

It's ssssssserrenity, Serenity, long sweet soft slippery sound, S, S, S!

I am also horrified by Iysis, which in this particular font looks like lowercase LYSIS, which refers to killing/stopping in medical terms (tocolysis means stopping contractions, electrolysis means using electricity to kill hair follicles; there are lots of other examples). Isn't that a silly thing to notice? But I also disdain misspelling Isis just for fun.

---

Neither can I stand Respress, Kamdyn, Raiden, Brycen nor Sequoyah.

---

However, I do like Ruby, Lyric, Skye, Harmony, Aurelius (brave parents!), and Sawyer.

---

I am surprised to see Hunting. My own personal faves list includes the never-seen (on a real kid) Dashing and Hawking, but oddly, I don't like Hunting. Sounds like Bunting. I could do Hunter Hawking if absolutely pushed to a wall, but I reject Hunting.

Proud daughter of Ann and John
Proud sister of Lauren and Leah
Proud wife of David
Proud mother of Alexander, Scarlett, Sophia, and Gideon

I'm not big on any of those, with the exceptions of the tolerable Chance and Ruby (which might make a cute sibset for someone else's kids, when I see the names together). If I had to pick the worst it'd be hard but I'd be tempted to select the maximumly saccharine Treasure and the sleazy Harlequin novel leading man Drake.

---

My mother had an uncle that was pushing for her to name me Royal (after himself, Roy) and that just earned a huge eyeroll from her and later myself. I hope he was joking. It's so... what's the word I'm looking for? Awful, I think.

The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.
To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.

-Marx-

I know a Brentley,
and a Savanna.

not many of those names seem very unusual.
but,
I suppose it depends.
