Help[Opinions] Surprisingly few names...
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
so in this BA we seem to have themes for the girls:
Nouns magically becoming names!:
November - not terrible, there are worse months (February, anyone?)
Meadow - actually a GP of mine
Mirakle - come on, at least spell it right!
Jurney - this child will forever be seen as a typo.
Sway
Vision
Holland
London
Bristol
Shakota (I assume this is derived from Dakota...)
Sahara - very pretty name.
Boys names, or so we thought...:
Elijah x2 - Wonderful on a boy. Leave it there.
Preston
Avery - Again, really nice boys name. Why?
Micah/Michah - There should be a rule: if its in the Bible on a man, little girls should not wear it.
Campbell - It's a last name. On a boy, it's a bit of a stretch. On a girl?
Marley - ditto above.
Dylan - what's with the pot-smoking guitarists being good namesakes for your daughters?
Kai x3 - actually really cool name. For a BOY.
Aries - ditto above again!
Let's add a y! Why? Y indeed!:
Octaysia - gorgeous name. No y needed.
Ashtyn - kinda a boys name, kinda a name no one knows where to put.
Khryzyl - Is this Crystal? Gristle? I'm hoping its foreign, cause there's NO VOWELS.
That's a name?:
Leighton - Was this really a name before the show?
Kyanne - hmm... sounds kinda pretty, but it's pepper. Spicy pepper. spelled way wrong.
What's this? A real name? (mind you, there's all of 3.):
Holly - I actually know a man named Holly, and it works. Predominantly female, and a nice one at that.
Elizabeth - Classic, and there's a bazillion nns to go with it.
Agnes x2 - Awesome! See, why do people have to make stuff up when there's gems like this lying around in dusty corneres begging to be used?
Acoda - what is this? My eyes try to read anaconda, but get confused.
Jett & Tripp - well, the extra consonant on both names just puts this over the top.
Artimus - yay for mythology! oh wait, She was a virgin goddess of hunting. And was spelled Artemis. There are so many awesome Greek gods!
Orion - Like this one. btw, Arion looks like a typo.
Aries - and this one too!
Elias - wonderful name. has a nice history, but sounds current enough.
Rook, King - yay for chess!
Aadon - Aidan is a nice name. Aiden even seems reasonable.
Nova - wonderful name. on a girl!
Laynie - again, this doesnt even sound like a name. on a girl.
Winter - kinda cute. on a girl though.
Stryker - I can't help but think of Camp Stryker in Baghdad. At least its on a boy I suppose.
Jad - this is actually kinda cute.
German - some last names lend themselves fairly well to first names. this one doesn't.
Wrigley - ln
D'Artagnan - ln
Wilder - ln, kinda cute though.
Sirrough - come on. Did the parents not sound this out?
Hoochee Kiatoukaysy - I'm hoping this is ethnic.
Elijah - great name.
Kinkade - another last name in disguise.
Ridge x4: The Bold and the Beautiful, anyone? Where's Thorn?
Holland
Jericho
Indiana
Jerusalem
Stockton
London - lovely places to visit. Find another name, one that actually goes on a child.
Any thoughts? Agree, or think I'm crazy?
