Love Harper, Winter, Mallory, Eden, Harlow

Like Whitney, Tenley, Haven, Laken (okay - I know a 7 y/o but I've never come to love this name), Blakelee (too trashy sounding for my taste though)

Do not like Honor, Ireland, River (boy name), Parker (boy name), Emery, Allegra (isn't that an allergy drug?), Auden (love Audrey though), McKinley (sounds masculine), Odette (sounds like an old man)

Harper- I like this name. super cute but growing in popularity.
Whitney- that is my name! Honestly I'm indifferent.
Tenley- People will call it trendy but there is something so cute about it.
Honor- Not a fan.
Ireland- Bad. I don't like it at all and the only time I've ever heard it was on a boy :/
River- Not a fan.
Winter- Don't like
Parker- Like.
Emery- Don't like. I think of an old man (my neighbor)
Allegra- Old Lady Name.
Mallory- I think it is pretty but ever since I've heard the meaning of the name it's always in the back of my mind
Eden- Dislike.
Auden- Like.
McKinley- This used to by my favorite girl name years ago, but I'm ove it now. Still like Kinley as a nn though.
Harlow- Cute.
Odette- My first thought was Toadette from the Mario games
Haven- Ok.
Laken- This name has a certain appeal to me. I would spell it Lakin though but its because that is the ln of some people I know so I would be more likely to spell it like that. I think it is prettier too.
Blakelee- The name isn't all that bad but I don't like the spelling.

I really like Allegra- classic, Italian, musical name. Granted, the allergy drug probably has a lot to do with people disliking it.

I don't mind Eden. Mallory and Whitney seem a bit dated to me but are still fine names. 

I really don't like any of the rest.

I have been keeping Allegra as my secret girl name for like - ummm... almost 20 years now. 

I can't believe so many people on here are on to it/ like it.

I love it but REALLY want it to stay unpopular so I can use it if I ever get to have a baby girl!

Harper - very pretty, just a bit common/trendy for me

Whitney - not a fan.

Tenley - Not a fan, but I like Tennille

Honor (I do not like Honora, sorry) - I have no problem with Honor

Ireland - seems contrived (like you're trying too hard)

River - pretty

Winter - pretty

Parker - dislike for a girl

Emery - love for a boy! This was my prom date's middle name! I think it's pretty for a girl, too, but there are so many other Em- names, that I think it's kind of unoriginal. Pretty though.

Allegra - it's nice, but now it just reminds me of the allergy medication

Mallory - I really dislike Mallory. No particular reason, I just don't like it.

Eden - Not a fan of this name. I prefer Eve.

Auden - I've only known little boys with this name, but if you don't mind unisex names then that's not a problem.

McKinley - HATE. I think Mc___ names as first names look so unbelievably trashy.

Harlow - very pretty. I like Harlow.

Odette - Really like!

Haven - meh. I don't usually like word names. Destiny, Haven, etc.

Laken - I LOOOOVE Laken. It's one of those names I won't use myself, but it's really pretty.

Blakelee? Blakeley? Blakely? Blakeleigh? - strongly dislike all of the above. The fact that you yourself don't have any idea how you'd spell it is a testament to how made-up it is.

 My favorites for you (in this order) are Laken, Honor, Harlow, Odette.

I'd cut Harper, Emery, and Auden. These names belong on a boy.

Girls names ARE hard!! You want it to have the right connotation. Girly but not overly so, unique but not too Youneek, etc.  ;)

You have some interesting names on your list and I like the general direction!

Personally I'm into Harper these days, I don't know any baby Harpers so it seems unique and plus it's a family name for us (FIL middle name).

I also like Harlow, Haven and Parker.

I don't really like any of them but Ireland bothers me the most because there is already a nice and legit girl name, Erin, that means Ireland, so why would you use the word Ireland? makes no sense to me.

Harper - actually like, but way too popular/trendy for me
Whitney - ok
Tenley - hate, reminds me of the twit from the bachelor/bachelor pad
Honor (I do not like Honora, sorry) - hate
Ireland - NMS
River - NMS for a girl, prefer for a boy
Winter - dislike
Parker - NMS for a girl, like for a boy
Emery - I actually really like this, but I know this board doesn't love it, but it is becoming kind of trendy
Allegra - kind of pretty, but will always remind me of the allergy medication
Mallory - fine, kinds of 80's to me
Eden - NMS, a little too toddlers and tiaras for me
Auden - hate, sounds made up for me
McKinley - dislike
Harlow - same answer as Harper
Odette - NMS
Haven - too close to Nevaeh to me
Laken - don't love, but I might be turning the corner on this one
Blakelee? Blakeley? Blakely? Blakeleigh? - if at all, Blakely for sure.  I kind of prefer for a boy
