Help[Opinions] Re: Loxley
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Reminds me mostly of Bexley, and of locksmith. I don't really like it.
It makes me think of Locklyn (which is sort of an American take on Lachlan for girls) and Kinsley smushed, to get a trendy X.
There's a town in Alabama named Loxley.
It's as usable as any quasi-random surname name.
What I notice most right now, is the pileup of consonants before -ley (or with boys, it's usually -ton).
I feel like this type of sound just sorta replaces the AY in -aiden / -ayley / -ayton.
ntl ksl gsl stl nsl rkl nst ngt, etc - in the middle of a name ending in ley or ton.
Bentley, Brantley, Huxley, Kingsley, Westley. Kinsley, Ainsley, Kensley, Bexley, Ensley, Berkley, Tinsley.
Kingston, Langston, Princeton, Kashton, Ashton, Winston, Remington.
Braxton, Axton, Maxton, Brixton, Paxton, Daxton.
All in the top 1k 2021
The consonant-blob feels to me like it's a big lump of lead in the middle of a name, to give it a little bit of gravity or impact, making you enunciate a bunch of very short sounds together. I mean, I feel like that's the appeal, even though it's not super appealing to me and a lump of lead doesn't sound nice. It could be a lump of gold. Whatever, it's a feeling of density.
or like beatboxing haha
