Help[Opinions] Re: Local BA's (long) - WDYT?
in reply to a message by Isla
Girls--
Marleymae Piper - Hm, not the most graceful invention ever. But it's decent. Vaguely ... unsophisticated. I don't care for Piper. No wonder they put it as the middle name.
Quinterica Lutura (dad – Quinton; siblings – Darius & Victoria) - Quinterica is cool, in a geeky way. I like the sibs too. Lutura sounds like a luxury car, ick.
Alexandra Rachelle (sister – Cleo) - I like both first names. I think they go oddly nicely together too. Rachelle's nms
Kaya Arianna - nice modern name; I never know whether to say KYE-a or KAY-a. I like the former best
Cori Jasmine - Cori for what? Oh well. It's nice. I'd like it as a nick better; kind of too "spunkified" for me
Mya Alicia - nice. I prefer Maya or Maia/ Clumsy combo to say out loud.
Shariya (sha-RYE-ah) Syriana - baby passed away :( Shariya is pretty. I would've spelled it Shariah. I've seen Syriana as a name somewhere else too.
Jalie Ann (sister – Brianna) the Mediocre Sisters =) in an ok way. I like Brianna alright. Jalie reminds me of "jail" though.
Kamryn Vonann - hm. not only do I not care for Kamryn, I think it's past its prime fashionwise and will make her seem older than she is. Vonann sounds like she was named for gramma.
Serena Lee - sweet, nice name. I like the mn Lee. Not Leigh.
Elyssa Ann-Marie - okay. I think I'd find it frustrating because it's not that different from Alyssa or Elisa, but it's neither, and would constantly need spelling out.
Kailei Elizabeth (I never heard it pronounced, but I assume it was like KAY-lee) Looks like Kay Lay or Kye Lay. Interesting if so; cringeworthy if it's yet another respelling of Kaylie.
Jamya Alasia - new one to me. Sounds nice.
Faith Nicole - okay. Faith always sounds very pious to me and .. rural. Not that that's bad, but it's nms
Lilly Grace - nice; I prefer Lily so it doesn't look nicknamey/familiar
Shekinah Nicole (not sure if this is shah-KEE-nah or shah-KYE-nah...I've heard it pronounced the latter way, the name of an African American spiritual conference or somesuch that was recently in our area ??) Hm. It's in the database. Not sure what I think of it. Okay I guess. Better than Nevaeh.
Marissa Danielle - lovely.
Ella Caroline - nice. Ella is not my style so much, but it's nice.
Boys--
Sean Paul - heh
Christopher Ryan - cute, reminds of C. Robin in Pooh stories
Ja’dien Dewan - would be better if I could pronounce it easily ... Jay-dee-en? Nice sound, unattractive construction to me with the apostrophe.
Terrell Azayveon (mom - Tamerdis) - not into the middle name, Terrell is nice.
Andrew Nathan - unremarkably decent
DeMarcus James- okay if prn dem-Marcus; not so much if DeeMarcus.
James IV "Quad" (didn't 'catch' the mn) They're calling him Quad? How ... tacky. Not to be stuckup about it, but that's how it strikes me. I suppose he won't go by that once he's not a kiddie anymore.
James Duffield - family surname I suppose
Aiden Ray - great. Aiden's past its prime but still nice
Nathan Alexander - great
Marcus Clay - great
Khalil Joseph (dad is Lebanese) - nice
Ronan Patrick - so Irish.
Waylon Aubrey (parents are self-confessed country music fans)- unfortunately reminds me of "wail on" or is it "whale on" ... like, beat on someone
Cooper James - can't stomach the name Cooper too well. Ugh
Rohan Mitesh (interesting family - parents are Indian, practice Hindu and had a naming ceremony for the baby in the hospital, plus the father was raised in South Africa) I like Rohan. Mitesh is unfamiliar but sounds nice
Evan Robert (brother – Aiden) - the Mediocre Bros. in a good way
Joshua Camden - nms.
Jordan Christopher - nice
Triplets:
(b/g/g) Lukas Edward & Lindsay Catheryn & Landry Trace - yes, the last one is a girl, I had to ask a few times to make sure :-/
Aww, it would have been decent without the Laundry. Uh, I mean Landry's Seafood. Uh.. yuck. Very surnamey. Leaves me cold. Could be worse, though - the -andr- part is namey, and it's not absolutely butch sounding like Rowan or Ryan.
I kind of like the Catheryn spelling ... I was thinking about those the other day and musing on if anyone has spelled it Cathren.
