[Opinions] My opinions: BAs from my due date group (long)
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
A lot of these are really nice names! And then ones that I don't prefer but don't outright hate. I'll comment on the ones that stood out to me the most, like others are doing.
Ambrose "Rosie" – I love the name Ambrose and I think it's neat that someone gave it to a girl. I think it works and I don't think it's even that popular as a name overall for it to be like glaringly gendered.
Brynn Beryl – Brynn is fine but when I see this I read it as "Brine Barrel" whoops
Calliope Jane – I think this is cute as heck. I like Calliope a lot but specifically it sounds a little like "Calamity Jane" which I think is a nice reference.
Cora Lynn – Makes me feel like I could've been Coralyn? Or Carolyn? Or Caroline?
Elke – It's unusual where I'm from and I like it.
Ellisanne Sutton – So this looks like it could have been Ellis Anne Sutton? And I think it would look and sound better as two separate names? Also, I've only heard Sutton as a surname before.
Harper James – I'm not the biggest fan of Harper, but I do love the use of James as a middle name. It's one of my favorite classic names.
Ilyra Lucia – I really like this one for some reason. Good sounds. I'm pronouncing it as "ih-LEE-ruh" "LOO-shuh"
MarleyRae Lee – I really dislike this one. It sounds like a country singer person?
Ramona Elliot – I don't care for Ramona but really down for these masculine middle names :)
Reighlynn Kacey – That spelling is too much for me. I'd go for something simpler like Raelyn, Raelynn, Raylynn? Even then, I don't like the name that much. Reilly is better imo.
Abram Lev Rudolf – A strong name. Lev Rudolf is so very Eastern European. I've always liked the name Lev.
Asher James – Two good names put together.
Callum James – Two more of my favorite names put together.
Castiel James – Kind of hate this because it just reminds me of Supernatural.
Hamish, Harold, Heath, Hank… all of these are old man names to me. Old, maybe drunk, man names.
Walter Chad – My thought is, "why would someone put Walter and Chad next to each other?" Chad also feel like such a 90s surfer name or something.
Ambrose "Rosie" – I love the name Ambrose and I think it's neat that someone gave it to a girl. I think it works and I don't think it's even that popular as a name overall for it to be like glaringly gendered.
