Top 24 contestants. Thoughts on names?

Question

I thought this post may be somewhat interesting. A few hours ago, the top 24 contestants of American Idol were revealed and I understand that some may not be into that show. Or any other different country variations of the show. That's fine. I would just like opinions on the names and you can be as honest and...

Answer 1

♂Adam - great, a favorite
♂Clark - okay
♂ Daniel - great
♂ Mark - classic
♂ Michael - classic
♂ Nick - if short for Nicholas, good

Answer 2

I like Adam, Quentin, Joey as a nickname for a Jo- name like Johanna, Katherine but I much prefer the spelling Catherine, Madeleine, but not the nickname Maddie, Serena but not Sarina, and Joy but not Joi, or double-barrelled names for that matter.

Answer 5

Lol we totally gave up on the show. We tried to stay with it, but it's been going downhill for a while.
♂ Adam: Handsome, classic, Biblical name. There's nothing wrong with the name but nothing spectacular.
♂ Clark: I can never take this name seriously without thinking 'super man'. It's impossible.
♂ Daniel: Again like Adam, it's a classic, strong Biblical boys name that will never become dated.
♂ Mark: It's my older brother's name (well his full name is Marcus). It's strong and handsome but I feel like it's kind of dated. I don't know any Marks born in the last decade.
♂ Michael: Similar to Mark, it's kind of dated. Still a strong, handsome and classic Biblical name.
♂ Nick: Funnily enough it's the name of my nephew! I like it.It's strong and handsome like the rest of the list, but not a totally overused Biblical name.
♂ Qaasim: Clearly a name from another religion/culture, so I don't feel like I have the right to have an opinion about it. I wouldn't use it, but I'm sure it has a beautiful meaning in whatever language it is from.
♂ Quentin: Love this name! Unfortunately my DH hated it so it was immediately removed from my short-list of boys names but I love it. It's quirky and yet still kind of trendy and strong.
♂ Rayvon: Not a fan of the name. Looks kind of made-up and it's just not my style.
♂ Riley: Possibly one of my favorite names for a boy. It's our eldest's middle name (spelled Reilly).
♂ Savion: Not even sure how to pronounce it but it looks kind of cool.
♂ Trevor: Kind of cool and trendy. I feel like the name peaked in the 80s-90s but I could definitely see it making a comeback.

♀ Adanna: Don't know why I'm not a fan of the name, but for some reason things aren't just clicking. I think i would just prefer Adriana or Ada or Anna.
♀ Alexis: Prefer it on a boy to be honest.
♀ Jax: Also prefer this on a boy.
♀ Joey: Sounds like it could be a cute boyish nickname for something like Josephine or Joanna, like in Dawson's Creek.
♀ Katherine: It's beautiful, classic, timeless and elegant.
♀ Loren: Meh, kind of dated and has ran it's course.
♀ Lovey: Interesting choice, even if it is just a nickname.
♀ Maddie: It's such a cute girly nickname for Madeline/Madeleine.
♀Sarina-Joi: Love Serena/Sarina, but not too sure if the double barrel is necessary.
♀Shannon: I feel like it's kind of dated and passe.
♀Shi: I'm sure it's a cute nickname for something, or perhaps a cultural name.
♀Tyanna: I would prefer just Tiana. Looks much simpler, and more elegant.

Answer 6

Adam, Daniel, Mark, Michael, Nicholas 'Nick', Riley, Trevor, Alexis, Katherine, Shannon are nice. The others are just ok.

Answer 7

Oops. Join is meant as Joi like the name joy but with an I,


Curse you autocorrect! Lol
