Pippa ~ I'm not a fan of this one. It's a nickname for Philippa which I've always considered to be a rather pretentious name! But it's better than the hideous Piper which also seems to be growing in popularity so I won't complain too much.
Elula ~ Weird. I've been hanging out in the Baby Names section a looooong time now and I've never encountered this name before. I don't like it very much. I'm not even sure how to pronounce it - maybe "eh-LOO-luh" or "ELLE-yoo-luh"? Either way I'm not at all keen.
Hadley ~ Eww. I absolutely DETEST this name on a girl! It's a masculine boy's name and should stay that way. There is nothing pretty or feminine about it, hence it should not be used on girls. End of.
Mila ~ This is cute but not really my style (personally, I would prefer Maya or Mia). But Mila is still pretty.
Luna ~ Ooh, I love it! I have this name on my guilty pleasures' list. It's too "out there" for me to use it but I can still admire it from afar. I'm so glad this name has stopped being purely associated with Harry Potter because it's a beautiful name and it would be a shame to waste it!
Ada/Adele/Adeline/Adelaide ~ I adore the name Adeline, and I like the other three as well. I'm a massive fan of vintage names and I think it's great that all these are coming back into fashion! They are so much nicer than the horrific "Addison".
BOYS:
Asher ~ One of my favourite Biblical names! It's strong and masculine, and I like the nickname "Ash". It's also a great alternative to Ashton which is a bit too trendy for my liking.
Everett ~ What a handsome name! It sounds like royalty. This name has been growing on me for a while now, and I think the nickname "Rett" is adorable. I can definitely see why it's climbing the popularity charts.
Arlo ~ Meh, not so keen on this one. It's not awful by any means, it's just not my style. Arlo sounds like the name of a very wise old wizard, or maybe an owl...
Flynn ~ This recently worked its way into my Top 10 list for boys :D It's definitely becoming popular thanks to Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr's bundle of joy! But I've always liked it.
Archer ~ This used to be on my list a couple of years ago but it seems to have fallen out of favour with me in the last few months. I wouldn't use it anymore and I don't like how the nickname would be Archie, which is incredibly common where I live. But I don't have a problem if others want to use it and I like that it makes me think of Robin Hood :P
Interesting question! ;) xx|||Pippa: 7/10 It's okay, I prefer it as a nickname for Philippa though.
Elula: 2/10 It's a mouthful and sounds made up
Hadley: 4/10 I've never liked it. Sounds too harsh to be a name. Very american
Mila: 10/10 I've loved this name for a long time, way before it came into fashion. I particularly like it as a nickname for Amelia and Matilda.
Luna: 8/10 This isn't normally to my taste, but I actually quite like it.
Ada: 7/10 I quite like this. It is sweet sounding.
Adele/Adeline/Adelina: 5/10 They're all perfectly credible names, I just don't like them much.
Asher: 7/10 Like Luna, It's not normally my thing, but I quite like it.
Everett: 4/10 Not my style.
Arlo: 2/10 Sounds made up
Flynn: 6/10 It's alright, I've never been quite sure what to make of ths name. Finn is cute though.
Archer: 8/10 I quite like it. Archie is pretty cute too.
I think Luna and Archer will become guilty pleasures :-)|||○ Pippa: I think this name is vastly overrated. I mean, it's sort of cute and unique, but I don't understand the major fascination with this name.
○ Elula: No, just no.
○ Hadley: Now, I think this name is cute. It's one of my friend's sister's name. I think it unique and cute. Most of the people I've met don't agree with me, but I think it's different and cute.
○ Mila: It's alright. I mean, Mila Kunis is just downright beautiful, but the name isn't. It's sort of cute, but not really.
○ Luna: Reminds me of Harry Potter, which I like. :) I, however, probably wouldn't name my child this.
○ Ada/Adele/Adeline/Adelaide: I like these names. I like them all except Adele. I don't think Adele sounds cute of girly at all. I've seen a lot of people become in love with this name, but I never took a liking to it. The rest, though, are very cute! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
○ Asher: Eh, once again, never took much a liking to it. It's alright, I guess.
○ Everett: This one is EXTREMELY cute in a guilty pleasure way. I think it's dashing.
○ Arlo: No. No. No.
○ Flynn: This one is very special or unique in any way to me. I think Finn is much cuter. Some people won't agree with me, or maybe it's just the Glee obsession talking, but I think Finn is much cuter.
○ Archer: Once again, cute in a guilty pleasure way. :)

-- Shelby.|||Pippa - I think this name sounds like a name that belongs to a pet, not a person.
Elula - Not exactly sure how to pronounce this.
Hadley - I don't know, I've never really liked this name. It just sounds weird to me.
Mila - I like this one.
Luna - I like this one too, used to be on my favorite list.
Ada/Adele/Adeline/Adelaide - There alright. I like Adele best out of those Ad names.
If I was going to use on of these names on my daughter it would be Mila.
Asher - I've always loved this name.
Everett - Ehh, it's alright.
Arlo - Yuck!
Flynn - Not that found of it.
Archer - Hmmm it's alright. Just sounds made up.
Out of these names I would name my son Asher.|||I love Adelaide (Ada or Addie as a nickname), and Luna is really nice but I wouldn't use it.
Flynn is alright but too much like a surname to me (mainly because it's the surname of a family in my story).
The rest I really don't like. None of the girls names apart from Adelaide and Luna will age well past about 12, and the boy's names just aren't to my taste.|||Girls:
Pippa - A bit too nick-namey.
Elula - Ridiculous...
Hadley - Like a lot.
Mila - Cute!
Luna - Never been able to hear this name w/o picturing the big moon from Bear in the Big Blue House.
Adele and Adelaide are gorgeous.
Boys:
Asher - This is a really cool name, though I doubt I'd ever use it.
Everett - Nice. This is very smart sounding.
Arlo - Nah, sounds too much like Harlow, one of my fav girls names.
Flynn - Pretty cool. But reminds me of Tangled. -_- Besides, it has that "lynn" part which makes it sound a little feminine.
Archer - Eh.|||Pippa-i dont like it, i wouldnt use it
Elula-i dont even know how to pronounce this
Hadley-i used to know a girl named this, i think i would use it
Mila-sounds like a lion name
Luna-its a Guilty pleasure name for me
I like Adeline and thats it of those. I would use Adeline
Asher-GP name for me
Everett-its ok but i wouldnt use it
Arlo-no
Flynn-i like
Archer-no|||Love:
Pippa
Adeline/Adele
Asher
Everett
Like:
Mila
Luna
Archer
Ada
In my opinion, names like this are a huge step in the right direction for popular names. But I secretly feel a little bit annoyed as I have a tendency to start to hate a name when it gathers some popularity!
=]|||Well there not very popular to me because I havent heard half of those names and there not my style at all. Adele is okay but I do not like any other girl names on the list and for the boy names Asher and Everett are okay but I don't like the rest|||I would use: Hadley, Adele/Adelaide, Asher, and Everett.
I don't like any of the other ones, they're too out there for me. And others I just don't like.|||I love the names Mila and Luna, but I wouldn't use Luna. Adele is also part of my favorites. Hadley is OK, but Pippa and Elula are not..
I love Flynn and Asher, but not the others.|||I really like Luna, Asher and Flynn, even before the "trend" of both names. Adele/Adeline are sweet, and even Mila is pretty. I don't really care for the others.|||Girls:
Pippa 2/10
Elula 1/10
Hadley 7/10
Mila 7/10
Luna 1/10
Ada 4/10
Adele 4/10
Adeline 4/10
Adelaide 3/10
Boys:
Asher 4/10
Everett 7/10
Arlo 2/10
Flynn 6/10
Archer 6/10|||The only names I would use is Adele, Asher, and yea thats it sorry, but to me most of them ssound weird and kind of old, but it depends on u, good luck!|||WTF is happening to the world :(
Adele/Adelaide/Adeline and Everett are the only names I like.|||i only like Mila, Luna and i like Adelaide spelled Adelaine better i love it. no i wouldnt use them|||I like Hadley, Asher, Everett, Flynn, and Archer :)|||I like Luna and Mila.|||I can honestly say I don't like any of them, although if I had to choose- Luna and Flynn|||I don't like any of them.|||Darn it, I am not on the list again!|||I think Pippa is super cute as a nick name for Philipa. I would never use it but i think its sweet
Elula is just aweful.
Hadley.... i dont know why but i really like this name. Its not super feminine but i think its soo cool.
Mila - this is popular because of Mila Kunis i think. I dont love it. it reminds me of Meal.
Luna - This is on my guilty pleasure name. I think it would make an adorbale middle name. Especially if the baby was born during the night.
I think Ada is a nice alternative to Ava (which is sickeningly popular) I think it pronounces A-duh .. not Add-uh.
Adele is cute too but I dont like the other A names.
I LOVE ASHER... I think this is such a cool name but the awesome nick name Ash
Everett. I dont love this name but i really like the nick name Ever
Arlo.... dont like this one
Flynn... I like Fynn better
Archer.... this is a neat name but i wouldnt use it|||Girls:

♦ Elula %26lt;%26lt; 6/10 %26lt;%26lt; I'm not a fan of this name

♦ Ada/Adele/Adeline/Adelaide (Vintage sounding names that start with Ad-.) %26lt;%26lt; 7/10 %26lt;%26lt; I dislike most Ada/Ava variations, as well as the names themselves. I sorta like Adele, but none of these others
Boys:
♦ Asher %26lt;%26lt; 6/10 %26lt;%26lt; I love Ash and Ashton, but Asher? Not so much
♦ Everett %26lt;%26lt; 5/10 %26lt;%26lt; This name has never really appealed to me

♦ Archer %26lt;%26lt; 10/10 %26lt;%26lt; I'm very fond of the name Archer, both as a middle name and as a first name
I wouldn't use any of the girls names (except maybe Hadley), but I would use Flynn and Archer.
