Evelyn (spelled properly) is quite nice.
If you split Coralynn into Cora Lynn (Lynn as middle name) that would be OK. Otherwise it sounds like a cheesy old country music singer, as a pp said.
Joelle is just about OK.
Brianna is awful and chavvy and
Ellason (? weird spelling) is chavvy and misspelled too.

Sorry op. All number 5 for me too. Perhaps its a cultural thing. We may be from uk and you from?

SilverySurfer · 23/02/2019 02:38

Sorry I can't, they all all ghastly, not to mention the awful spellings which will make people assume that the parents are illiterate. I know some people are desperate to give their child a 'yoonique' name but please don't do it.

All awful - sorry

They all suggest that you are illiterate, I'm afraid.

Although I suspect that this is a wind-up since nobody could seriously like this list of names?

I think all of them would be better if you used the proper spelling/actual name. I'm not really a fan of creative spelling.

Ellason - Ella is nice. Or Alison.

Everlynn - I don't like it. I don't like the actual name Evelyn either really.

Brianna - it's too American for me. But it is an actual name and spelt correctly so that's something.

Coralynn - I really like the name Cora or Corrine. Or there is Coraline. Or Caroline. Cora-Lynn does sound like a country singer, but I quite like it. Coralynn looks like you've heard Caroline or Coraline and become confused.

Joelle - also a bit country singer, but I like it. Lot of nn potential Joey/Jo/Jojo/Elle/Ella.

I like Coralynn and Joelle best. Then Ellason (at least she could drop the son when she's older). Really don't like the others.

I'd raise an eyebrow at all of them Hmm

DramaAlpaca · 23/02/2019 01:44

Brianna is OK.

The rest are, well, not. Sorry. They sound like country music singers.

CheerioHunter · 23/02/2019 01:42

Rank? Yes, yes they are. Confused

pearldeodorant · 23/02/2019 01:40

Sorry I'm not keen on any so can't really rank them

PuzzlingPuzzle · 23/02/2019 01:34

Um Brianna is probably the best of the bunch as it’s a recognisable name. Sorry but the rest all look made-up or like you can’t spell. How about Evelyn if you like Everlynn?

CJsGoldfish · 23/02/2019 01:32

Ellason Actually laughed out loud at this one which is funny because it would probably have been the best one if you hadn't hashed the spelling. Aside from looking too try hard, it doesn't flow. It will probably always be a 'son of Ella' kinda thing.
-Everlynn I probably would have used this spelling as a teenager. As a grown up, the common spelling looks the best
-Brianna Is ok. Not my cup of tea but not a bad name
-Coralynn Meh
-Joelle Quite redneck (are you in the US OP) but not the worst name I've seen

AlexaShutUp · 23/02/2019 01:21

Really don't like any of them, I'm afraid. Are you American? Maybe they work better in that context, but they wouldn't really work here in the UK.

My order of preference is as follows (from least bad to worst):

  • Everlynn (the best name but looks like a misspelling)
  • Coralynn (sounds twee, a bit like a doll)
  • Brianna (sounds common/trashy)
  • Joelle (sorry, it's just ugly)
  • Ellason (weird & doesn't sound like a name at all)
