Help[Opinions] I agree with you (m)
in reply to a message by Lillian
"I'll personally take the most boring, bland real name over a made-up one."
I also totally disagree with this statement. One of my current favourite names is Lyria* which is made up. I also like the name Imaya which I made up (in a dream). It's not my top choice of girl's name but I'd far rather have or see someone else have two daughters called Lyria and Imaya over Amy and Hannah (two boring bland names I'm sick of seeing at the moment) any day. I think made up names can be attractive and tasteful and far more interesting than something which has just been picked from the current top ten.
If anyone's interested I know of someone called Lirea. I'd assumed it was Afrikaans as she's South African but her parents made it up as a nickname blend of her real fn and mn. I'd assumed it was spelt Lyria and since then it's really grown on me as a real name.
