Here are the names that interested or surprised me in a college recruitment mailing campaign.
Creed – Surprised me as a word name. Reminds me of Assassins Creed the series, or as having some religious undertones. I get more "protagonist" vibes from it than a regular name.
Jeanelle – I surprisingly loved this one when I came across it. I like
Janelle a lot and wondered if I'd pronounce the two the same way or not? I'm leaning more toward JEAN-elle.
Nazarine – I know it's really religious, but it is a beautiful name.
Piper – This one struck me as kind of old-fashioned? But it also reminds me a lot of Orange is the New Black…
Presli – This one just surprised me. Including the spelling.
Samara – Beautiful!
Scarllett – So many extra letters for a name that's already a word.
Skyla – I've noticed that "
Sky" names were really popular in the early 2000s. Is that trend still going? I know a lot of
Sky,
Skylar, Skylee, etc. names from 2000–2005.
Skylee – Same.
Soleil –
Love! Though I wonder if the parents just really liked Cirque du
Soleil...
Twilite – I really don't like this. Just go with Twilight or not at all...
Weina – This one I'd never heard of before, so it caught my attention! It feels a little Medieval.
Wynter – I prefer
Wynn or
Winter. But that together.
