[Opinions] Re: Interesting names from babies born in Kentucky in 2021 [A & B]
in reply to a message by Viatrix
Ava Eliane would have been pretty, but Aei'vah is atrocious. Same with Ariana Nicole, though I don't mind Aeireonna as much as Aei'vah.
I like Ocean and Rain, but I don't like how they're hyphonated.
I think Albathea is kinda pretty.
Anomalie is absolutely horrendous. I think they must have googled synonyms for unique and picked out anomaly without fully understanding its meaning.
Anubis Tui Lycanis is kinda showoff-y, but I don't hate it. Better ancient Greek/Egyptian names than Anomalie. Same with Arcturus Akyas, Atlas Arcanum, and Bastet Alexandria.
I would have preferred the spelling Arizona. Carolyn is fine, John must be a family name.
Atari is nice, Atari Inez could have worked, Sunnie Inez would be okay, but Atari Sunnie Inez doesn't have a great flow in my opinion.
Awesome sounds like a descriptor of Maurice.
Bienvenue Janvier is horrible. I personally wouldn't be comfortable naming my kids random words in a language that is not my native one. Maybe they do speak French? It's still very odd, and not really in a good way.
Bleu December. Though it's kinda attention-seeking, I think it's a little neat. I would prefer Blue to Bleu, because ik they're gonna say Bleu like Blue.
Bluanagelo. I like Angelo. I would take DiAngelo. I still like the -angelo part, but the blu is throwing me off. Also, Ace sounds stupid.
Axlin Ella Reign flows well. Axlin is silly, but I don't hate it. It kind of remonds me of a character called Ashlyn Ella from a TV show I watched when I was 8.
Most of the rest sound like millenial redneck American white trash names. I don't really like them, especially Brocton Scott, Brinyx (sounds like a brand of appliance), Bramlett Bayne, Baylum Matlock, Riot, Bryzlander and Bennington. Valerio and Sterling are nice, but the first names paired with them are not.

That's quite interesting! I still think they are odd when together. I asked a Francophone aquaintance about them and she said she hadn't heard of them used as names. They seem to be archaic, so I would assume that's why.
