Help[Opinions] Re: Australian BAs
in reply to a message by Aine
Girls-
Ayantika [f] (Anahita [f]) - If anyone here is of Indian background (or just familiar with the cultures), would you mind telling me what the cultural reasoning is for Indian siblings often having similar sounding names? It seems I always see a lot of rhyming (or near rhyming) sibling names from India. Is it just because parents like how they sound together or is it more than that? That being asked, I like Anahita, but don't care for Ayantika.
Zamira Christine Margaret (Tane [m]) -I like Margaret. Not the rest of them.
Stella May (Poppy Maria) -I like Stella. Maria and Poppy are okay.
Brydie Maree (Taylah, Bowen, and Zachary) -This doesn't seem like it will ever grow up. Poor child. Siblings are equally bleh.
Ashley Piper (Kate) -This would have name a lovely boy name. Don't care for it on a girl though. Over it. Neutral on Kate, but they don't go well together, imo.
Elanor Lorinda (Eric) -Elanor is the Lord of the Rings spelling and I'm here for that, but Lorinda can be taken out with the trash. Eric is meh.
Lila Rose -As simple as this is, I like it.
Florence Vera -I think Vera Florence would have flowed better, but I like these names.
Savannah Joy (Adelaide and George) -None of these names go together. Somewhere between neutral to mildly like for all of three of them. Like Adelaide the most.
Madeline Grace (Seth) -Madeline is kind of cute, but highly dislike "Maddie" so that's a tricky one.
Olivia Grace (Riley [m], Cooper, and Blayke [m]) -I like Riley and Cooper some.
Zara Patrick Beatrice (Maree and Anthony) - That's still no excuse for naming your daughter Patrick when names like Patricia and Patrice and Patka exist. I even met a Patricka back in like 2010 and I kind of like that vibe. I like Zara and Beatrice, but I don't love them. Dislike both sib's names.
Poppy Hazel (Stella) -Poppy is cute, but I LOVE Stella and Hazel. Those names together would be better than Poppy and Stella, imo.
Ella Kaethe -Cute, but seems very nicknamey.
Jade Ashley -okay, I'm really gonna shock myself and say that while this is nothing special, I do kind of like it.
Elena Stephanie (Isaac) -Like Elena only.
Ellie May (Sienna and Ashton) -Ellie May sounds a nickname her grandfather would give her, not her actual name. I can't imagine Ellie May running for office.
Zanah (Zayah) -Is this a joke?
Jayla Piper (Braxton and Aaliyah) -Well, Aaliyah won for having a name that actually has some depth.
Evie Catherine -Like Evie, but not as a full name. Prefer Kathryn or Katharine.
Boys-
Carter Ian John -Carter and Ian are fine
Gabriel William Glen (Aurelia and Seraphina) -Ah, c'mon. Gabriel seems dull next to Aurelia and Seraphina. Like these though except for Glen.
Bryan Levi -nmsaa
Jacobe Jasper (Preston) -only like Jasper
Rueben William (Letty and Harper) -Dislike all
Hudson John -blah
Oakley Geoffrey Laurence (Huego and Broderick) -This sounds so much older than it is. For that reason, I like all of these together as a sibset. Individually, I only like Oakley.
Archie Adam -I've never understood the appeal of Archie or Adam.
Elijah Luke Gavin (Samuel) -Elijah is lovely, and altogether, this is nice.
Cohen James (Caleb, Myka [f], Hudson, and Emerson [m]) -Cohen James won. Myka lost.
Hunter William (Tiahla) -What on earth is Tiahla? Hunter William is bland and boring.
Jack Brian and Anthony John (Zachariah "Zac" and Isabella) - twins -nms. Isabella is still kind of nice.
Elijah James (Laylah) -I like all of these names, but I don't know if I care for Elijah and Laylah together. And I'd spell it Layla.
Craig John -Choppy and dull
Liam Tony (Conan) -Two nicknames. Dislike Conan a lot.
Max Patrick Makasini -meh
Marcus Reginald -Marcus is okay, but overall this is whatever.
Oliver Neville (Chloe and Thomas) -They sound English. Dislike Neville, but the rest are okay. Neville just seems like a kid that'll get shoved into lockers.
Aidan Paul -over it
Isaac Peter Grant (Grace) -nmsaa
Tristan James -soft and I like it
Henry James -The writer? I like The Turn of the Screw. Does that count?
Hamish Alexander (Amelia) -I'm cool with this. Wouldn't use it myself, but kind of like it.
Ollie Anthony -And i dislike this a lot. Why can't they full name Ollie?
Austin Jack (Audie and Riley [both m]) -Austin when they already have an Audie? Good grief.
