Help[Opinions] Re: British BAs from the Telegraph
in reply to a message by molly
Alexandra Marie Jessica: Love Alexandra. Marie is boring. Jessica was too popular in the 80s and 90s, which makes it boring. Alexandra Marie is pretty enough but tacking Jessica on there makes it seem like just a string of names rather than a combo.
Alice Eliza Pamela (Thomas Patrick “Tom”): Get rid of the ugly Pamela and it's fine. I love Patrick.
Antigone Elizabeth Vyvyan (Olympia Susan Tulloch, Rufus): Antigone!! Yes. Love, love this one. Elizabeth is boring in the middle name slot. Vyvyan spelled this way is an atrocity. Olympia isn't my style, it sounds frumpy to me, but I kinda like it with Susan, which is another name I don't really like. Rufus is old and crusty.
Cecilia Zara Katherine (Sienna Shân): Dislike Cecilia. Really like Zara Katherine. Sienna is too trendy.
Cosima Grace Aurelia: Cosima is intrinsically linked to Orphan Black in my mind, but that isn't a bad thing. Once again, Grace as a middle name is boring. Aurelia is beautiful.
Ebonie (Honor Brea): Ugh to all of that.
Flora Elizabeth Murray (Edward David Richard): Boring.
Florence Penelope Christmas: Christmas? Really? Unless that's their last name, maybe? IDK. Florence and Penelope are both ugly but at least the flow is decent.
Ivy Mary (Arthur Andrew, George Victor): Love Ivy! Popularity for this name doesn't bother me. Does not sound right with Mary, though. Siblings have combos that don't work as well.
Louella Poppy Honora: Ew.
Martha Josephine Mildred: Love Josephine.
Persephone Idina Isabelle: Persephone! Yes! Another love of mine! Idina Isabelle can just drop off.
Savannah Billie Patricia (Arthur Graham Fleetwood): Gross.
Serena Mary Cecily (Rose May Elizabeth, Edward John William): Boring.
Willa Daisy Elizabeth: I love Willa as a nickname for Wilhelmina but not by itself. Daisy is too twee.
Willamina Poppy “Willa”: Better spelled Wilhelmina by far. Poppy is an atrocity.
Henry Gareth: Someone who keeps a gun rack on his truck with the monster truck tires.
George Alfie: The nerd Henry makes fun of.
George Robert (Alfred Ellis): George Alfie's unimaginative father.
Laurence Patrick George Murray “Laurie” (Romilly Elizabeth Dora Joan): Too much going on there for sure. Patrick is great. Romilly is fun. Just too many names in general.
Oscar William Roland (Henry Robert Arthur): Aw, I have a sweet spot for Oscar. William is a good, steady name. Roland is a dog's name.
Rafe Arthur Ziggy: Ziggy? One of these things is not like the other...
Thomas William (Sofía Alexa): Boring.
Wilfred Michael Herbert: Wilfred and Herbert in the same combo? Ouch. Poor child.
Wilfred Stamp Ewing: Sounds like honorary names, so whatever.
William: Well this one is almost boring after all those elaborate names! I like William.
Alice Eliza Pamela (Thomas Patrick “Tom”): Get rid of the ugly Pamela and it's fine. I love Patrick.
Antigone Elizabeth Vyvyan (Olympia Susan Tulloch, Rufus): Antigone!! Yes. Love, love this one. Elizabeth is boring in the middle name slot. Vyvyan spelled this way is an atrocity. Olympia isn't my style, it sounds frumpy to me, but I kinda like it with Susan, which is another name I don't really like. Rufus is old and crusty.
