Lydia and Quinn are really the only two I like as first names, a lot of them could definitely be middle names though.

Why do people think that Irish boy names are gender neutral? They're really really really NOT.

Lydia is a fav of mine, but it's also on the more popular list of names. Do you want your child to have a common name?

Hollis - just ok

Teagan - Not a fan - I see this name used often for boys

Rowan - another name I like, but it is a traditional boys name, so I'd avoid

Merle - Strongly dislike.

Quinn - I love this name, but it seems to be gaining a lot of popularity.

Imogene - this name is ok.

Estelle - beautiful, love this name.

Irene - sounds "old lady" to me

Lydia - see above - I love this name!

Florence - this name is ok.

Sylvia - I like Sylvia.

Muriel - nms.

Thanks for helping me narrow it down!

Lydia-I like it! It isn't overly frilly and it ages well.

Hollis-This seems more like a masculine name. I could see it in the MN spot.

Teagan-I think it is cute but wonder if it ages well.

Rowan-Boy

Merle-I don't really like this one.

Quinn-This screams boy to me.

Imogene-It's not terrible but I wouldn't use it.

Estelle-I like it.

Irene-I think it would be cute in the MN spot.

Florence-I  want to like it. I like Flora. I think either would be great in the MN spot.

Sylvia-LOVE it!

Muriel-I like this name.

I prefer Lydia, Sylvia, or Muriel.

Happily Married since 2009

I love you to the moon and back!

I'm a Tulip in a cup, I stand no chance of growing up.

Burt Farlander: Do you promise to let our daughter be fat or skinny or any weight at all? Because we want her to be happy, no matter what. Being obsessed with weight is just too cliché for our daughter.
Verona De Tessant: Yes, I do. Do you promise, when she talks, you'll listen? Like, really listen, especially when she's scared? And that her fights will be your fights?
Burt Farlander: I do. And do you promise that if I die some embarrassing and boring death that you're gonna tell our daughter that her father was killed by Russian soldiers in this intense hand-to-hand combat in an attempt to save the lives of 850 Chechnyan orphans?
Verona De Tessant: I do. Chechnyan orphans. I do. I do.

Lydia: Like. Its simple and pretty.

Hollis: Dislike..sounds like a last name.

Teagan: Dislike.

Rowan: Dislike...too trendy

Merle: Would be ok as a middle name. I would feel bad for a kid with this as a first name.

Quinn: A boy name.

Imogene: I like

Estelle: Love

Irene: Good name. Kind of boring.

Florence: Like better on paper then spoken/IRL. Its pretty looking, not that pretty sounding imo.

Lydia - love. Very pretty.

Hollis - I actually really like Hollis - have I heard it as a boys' name before, though?

Teagan - okay. It sounds too trendy for my taste.

Rowan - too much of a boys' name.

Merle - definitely a boys' name

Quinn - I don't mind Quinn for a girl - I think it's really pretty.

Imogene - LOVE.

Estelle - okay. I just have a bad association with it, but it's a pretty name.

Irene - too 80s for me.

Lydia - repeat!

Florence - I love Florence, and I like it even better if Flora is the nn.

Sylvia - love, but it sounds very old and antiquated

Muriel - okay. It sounds too close to Myrtle for me.

Wow, such a wide range of opinions!  Thanks for all the feedback. :)  

I actually had no idea that Hollis, Teagan and Rowan were boys names.  Nymbler suggested them to me as girls names, but they were probably masculine first, huh?

I also find it interesting that so many people categorized Merle as a boys name.  It was DH's great aunt's name.

Thanks again for all the input! :)
