Velvet Horizon is just terrible. Winter on its own is okay. Let's just hope little Winter never has to tell anyone her middle name though!

Although I kind of like Velvet, and love Winter, I think that Velvet Horizon sounds like a Goth band...and Winter Star like a My Little Pony, just like RoxStar said.
A winter star sure is beautiful, but it's TOO cute to be a proper name.

Velvet's cute on a cat, but so are a lot of names you could never call a human.

Velvet Horizon definitely sounds like a strip joint. And Winter Star sounds like something a five year old would name her favourite dull, or something. That might be painting a lot of five year olds out there in an unnecessarily bad light, though.

The both sound like strip clubs, or strippers or maybe cheap perfumes. Bad, bad, bad.

Just awful

Whoa. I have to go with awful.

Velvet is actually one of my GPs. It always makes me think of National Velvet, and I like to think--or at least pretend--that it's not completely unusable. You just have to be very, very careful when making a Velvet combo. "Velvet Horizon" sounds like porn set in space.

Winter Star is complete cornball.

I can't wait for a day's paper. Appleton lost power over 24 hours ago, so it looks like we won't have a paper two days in a row, but back to the original topic. (I'm not in Appleton, I didn't loose power.)

We've had enough threads about Winter here that it doesn't surprise me, and Star isn't completely new. Star Jones was on The View, other star names, Starr is a last name. Not my style, but still unusual. Velvet Horizon is really out there imo. I could see a little kid experimenting with names trying it on a toy, but not on a person.

I rather like Velvet Horizon.

I read these names out to my Mum and she said 'what are they-race-horses?'

:0)

Lol. I like it. I like Velvet Horizon more than Winter Star.

This is purely abstract, of course, I don't feel like bending my mind around how I might potentially receive it socially.

Awful. Winter Star is at least a little more "normal", but still way too twee for me. Velvet Horizon sounds like a strip club, as the others have said. Besides, Velvet is a cat name and shouldn't be used on people. I knew a cat named Velvet who bit.

Velvet Horizon seems a little stripperish to me. Velvet especially seems over-the-top for a real person's name. Though not a cat's :)

I agree that Winter Star is cute (if unusable IMO). Then again, I'm kind of a sucker for wintry/Christmassy names. I'm assuming Winter Star was a girl, too?

awful...

Winter Star sounds like a My Little Pony, and Velvet Horizon does indeed sound like a strip joint, or else a Velvet Underground ripoff.
