Help[Opinions] Re: Vogue
in reply to a message by Assaulted popcorn
I saw in your response down below that this is your first post and I see you're brand new here, so I just thought I'd say hello and welcome to the board! I remember feeling very nervous when I first started posting here too :) I love your posting name, by the way.
Vogue is the sort of "name" that I would have thought was really cool, when I was a teenager. It's an interesting word with some very strong connotations and I thought using words like that as names was really subversive and neat. It's got a strong sound, like Rogue.
I personally wouldn't use it. I mistyped it as "Vague" when I first wrote it! Which isn't quite fair as it's hardly a vague name, it certainly makes an impact.
I feel like Vogue's sister would have a similarly very self-conscious nonconformist name as well. I want to say Roxy but I think that wouldn't be intense enough for parents of a Vogue. Something like.... Jaeger? Or is that too tired already. Morrissey? Hennessey? Alizé? The highly problematic "Gypsy"? Velvet? Ripley? A pop culture surname-name seems to really be speaking to me here. Dali. Bowie. Evangelista. Brinkley. Monroe. It would need something just as evocative as Vogue, or it would look too random next to it.
Middles:
Vogue Moira
Vogue Olivia
Vogue Isidora
Vogue Lenore
Vogue Dolorosa
Vogue Layla
Vogue Selena
If I strip the word of all associations, I kind of enjoy it for the look and sound. There's something dark and broody about it. It's got interesting synesthesia for me, very red-purple-blueblack.
