I still like these names, just didn't use them. My spouse was adamant the names should be two syllables max and the name should not sound like a soap opera name. Our daughters have very short, simple names. In hindsight, so glad I agreed to that!


I love a lot of these and feel like they still sound fresh today. Especially Sam/Samantha. But now I'm curious what you did name your kids because I think you have good taste -- I hope my DD's name still sounds appealing 18 years!
