[Games] You say, you think, All girls. Round 1
In this game, you give your impression of each name. Then give it an overall rating. In the end I'll round up the results from all the rounds, and we'll have a best-of-the-best round. Only one name will emerge victorious! (okay, that last line was kinda hokey, but I just had to say it!)
Be brutal. Say (or think) what you really would.

This is my daughter: Eowyn Pandora
You say: Nice to meet you Eowyn!
You think: Pandora is pretty but Eowyn sounds too much like Owen, a male name. I give it a 4.
This is my daughter: Aria Sardonyx
You say: Pleased to meet you Aria!
You think: Aria is nice, but it sounds a bit like area. Sardonyx sounds made up. I give a 4.
This is my daughter: Pandora Allure
You say: Hello Pandora.
You think: Pandora is ok, don't like Allure. I give a 5.
This is my daughter: Saoirse Avalon
You say: Hi Soairse!
You think: I love both names! I give a 10.
This is my daughter: Calypso Fae
You say: How do you do Calypso?
You think: Fae is decent, Fay or Faye would have been better. Don't like Calypso. I give it a 5.
This is my daughter: Nova Amethyst
You say: Hi Nova!
You think: The meaning is a sober butterfly chaser... interesting. Don't like Nova (although my mom works with a lady (named Bethany) who's daughter is Nova). Don't like Amethyst.I give a 3.

This is my daughter: Estrella Felicity
You say: Hi, Estrella!
You think: Estrella...? Estella would be so pretty!!! Felicity Estella (or Estrella, if you MUST) would flow best, in my honest opinion.
This is my daughter: Eowyn Pandora
You say: Hello, Eowyn.
You think: I think using two names from well-known stories is a bit weird, but despite that, it sounds nice and both names hae great meaning. (Oh, and Eowyn is awesome as a character!)
This is my daughter: Aria Sardonyx
You say: Hi, Aria! Hey, our names are only two letters away! XD
You think: I find Aria beautiful and refreshing, though I may be slightly biased. Sardonyx just looks weird and made-up to me at a first glance.
This is my daughter: Pandora Allure
You say: Hi, Pandora!
You think: Allure sounds too word-y...and another Pandora? :/ I don't much like the flow: two A's next to each other is not a good thing.
This is my daughter: Saoirse Avalon
You say: Umm...is Say-ors correct? Hi!
You think: Dunno how to pronounce Saoirse...Avalon is ok but reminds me of Avalon on our boards (not really a bad thing) and I have memory of some mystical land?
This is my daughter: Calypso Fae
You say: Hello, Calypso!
You think: Faye would be nicer. Calypso seems to masculine, imho.
This is my daughter: Nova Amethyst
You say: Hello, Nova.
You think: Too word-y. Nora Amethyst would be nice, despited the double a.
You say: Hi, Estrella!
You think: Estrella...? Estella would be so pretty!!! Felicity Estella (or Estrella, if you MUST) would flow best, in my honest opinion.
This is my daughter: Eowyn Pandora

This is my daughter: Estrella Felicity
You say: What a pretty name.
You think: Estrella's nice, but not my style. I love Felicity. Overall, I'd give this combo a 5 out of 10.
This is my daughter: Eowyn Pandora
You say: I love your name.
You think: Wow, what a cool name. It sounds kind of earthy and I love the literary/mythological type combos. Overall, 9 out of 10.
This is my daughter: Aria Sardonyx
You say: Well hello there, Aria.
You think: Aria is pretty, but Sardonyx looks kind of weird. Overall, 4 out of 10.
This is my daughter: Pandora Allure
You say: Hello, Pandora.
You think: I like Pandora for its mythological feel but Allure is a strange noun name that makes this combo seem a bit...stripper-ish, I guess would be the best word I can think of. Overall, 4 out of 10.
This is my daughter: Saoirse Avalon
You say: Wow, what a lovely name.
You think: I'm serious. This is one great combo. Despite the confusing-ness of pronouncing Saoirse, the combo flows great. The meanings are also quite nice. Avalon gets brownie points for being a GP name of mine. Overall, 10 out of 10.
This is my daughter: Calypso Fae
You say: Hello Calypso.
You think: Ooh, a Calypso. That's a very pretty name and again, the mythology behing it draws me in. Fae seems a bit trendy and too short for the combo. Overall, 7 out of 10.
This is my daughter: Nova Amethyst
You say: Hi there, Nova.
You think: The first name's okay, but not that great. Amethyst is a GP name for me. Overall, 5 out of 10.
You say: What a pretty name.
You think: Estrella's nice, but not my style. I love Felicity. Overall, I'd give this combo a 5 out of 10.

This is my daughter: Estrella Felicity
You say: Wow, umm, interesting!
You think: Uggh. I guess Ella is the logical nn, but I really kind of hate the whole combo. Tragic how people abuse names! 2
This is my daughter: Eowyn Pandora
You say: Oh! Do people call you Pandora's box?
You think: How the heck do I pronounce her first name again? How the heck do I SPELL her first name? It's not even the least bit feminine, Eowyn. 1
This is my daughter: Aria Sardonyx
You say: I love Aria!
You think: But I HATE Sardonyx. Is it some kind of fake jewel or something? But good job using Aria. 4
This is my daughter: Pandora Allure
You say: Pandora. I hear that a lot.
You think: But what makes it so attractive? She must be called Box or something! Not to mention Allure. Ick! You do not name a child something so often associated with over sexed up women! 3
This is my daughter: Saoirse Avalon
You say: How is your first name spelled?
You think: Are these people freakin' KIDDING me? Is this a joke? Honestly, my goodness, what were her parents thinking? That poor girl must be so teased. And it's not like her middle name's going to help her in any way! 0.
This is my daughter: Calypso Fae
You say: Interesting!
You think: And what the heck is interesting going to do? Name you after a calypso, that's what. And Fae is so filler. Pretty awful. 1
This is my daughter: Nova Amethyst
You say: Nova!
You think: Zenon movies and that rock on my nightstand. Need I say more? Gosh I hope not. 2

You think: While I like Felicity, it's kind of plain for Estrella.
This is my daughter: Eowyn Pandora
You say: Cute name.
You think: Pandora's box. Trying to mix two tales; doesn't really work for me.
This is my daughter: Aria Sardonyx
