Alex - As a boys name, I think popular person, as a girls name I think bitch
Alice - Cooky (a la Alice in Wonderland, Alice Tinker etc)
Ashley - As a boys name a tough on the surface with insecurities, as a girls name ditzy but popular
Laura - Nice name, down to earth.
Livy - A girl who tries too hard to be edgy
Jamie - Shy, but likeable
Jennie - Brave and honest, but a bit abrasive
Josh - Cliche American surfer/jock name
Nima - Dont' really get any vibe as a boys name, intelligent and ambitious as a girls name
Saskia - Big Brother 6. My least favourite name for that reason
Shannon - As a guys name kindof douchey as a girls name I associate it with Shannon from Lost
Thomas - Hardworking, kind, boy next door type. My favourite name

Thomas > Laura > Jamie > Ashley > Alice > Alex > Nima > Jennie > Josh > Shannon > Livy > Saskia

Shannon is my favourite because it's the longest river in Ireland and it runs through my city, but only for a girl!

Livy is my least favourite really, it's bizarre. :/

Alex - like the name. Bit non gender-specific though, so a bit generic I guess.
Alice - I voted for this. It's pretty, it's got a great number of famous and good connotations.
Ashley - same as Alex. My best friend (male) is called this, and I just shorten it to Ash tbh. Not the most exciting name.
Laura - I like the name... prefer Lauren though.
Livy - I love the name Livvy, but with one V it's just silly.
Jamie - Meh.
Jennie - Jen or Jennifer is better. Jenny > Jennie, too.
Josh - It's okay...
Nima - Is it pronounced neem-a? A bit like Niamh I guess? I don't really like it.
Saskia - Big Brother 6 has forever ruined that name for me.
Shannon - Really don't like this name, too many Ns.
Thomas - Bit generic.
