[Opinions] Re: Coworker BAs
in reply to a message by Zhara
Sisters named Avery and Kendall definitely sound like they have the same parents, and I actually think Kendall by itself is more feminine than Avery (Kendall sometimes feels like a feminine variant of Kenneth to me). However, if I see the combo "Kendall James" anywhere I will definitely assume the bearer is male, and I worry this will happen a lot to this little girl when teachers see her name on class rosters (among other places).Nayeli & Naomi are both awesome! I'm not Mexican / Central American, so Nayeli would be off-limits to me IRL unless I had a kid of that descent; but Nayeli might be my favorite indigenous New World name, no joke. And Naomi is one of my actual favorite names! Of that sibset, Jaddua is making me raise my eyebrows and wonder why he drew such a short straw; but the rest of the names are great.Sabrina is the epitome of sophistication and wit (I think of "Sabrina Fair" before "Sabrina the Teenage Witch"). No idea what the heck Palmyr is (so that definitely isn't a Palmyra typo?) or why it's bumping gorgeous Sabrina to the middle name slot.***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

I totally had to do a double-take when reading the announcement (email) for their daughter Kendall James, as I totally assumed it was a boy.I also agree on Nayeli, I am not Central American or Mexican either, so I'd never be able to use it, but it strikes me as exceptionally beautiful. And I agree that Jaddua is the odd-one-out in that sibset.And the only reason I know Palmyr = Palmer is my coworker said something like, "Her name is Palmer Sabrina, with a 'y' in place of the 'e'."
