Reply to: 5 girls in 2011 named: [long] by Viatrix
Yarden -I like this one.
Winner -Gee, no pressure there.
Willoh -*sob*
Victoire -It's okay. I've never liked the sound of it.
Trueley -'Cause Truly wouldn't be rare enough?
Troy - On a girl? What the hey?
Trillium - I still think this sounds more like a Star Trek name than a botanical name.
Timberlyn - Is it wrong that I like this? Probably.
Syndi - Oy.
Sylas - File this one with Troy.
Sybilla - Eh, not bad.
Sundae - There's a dirty joke in here just waiting for middle school.
Stoney - Yuck.
Sthefany - Oh, my gravy. What happened to poor Stephanie?
Shepherd - One of my biggest GPs on a boy. On a girl, not so much.
Seth - I can actually see this one working. It has a very soft sound. I don't like it on a girl, but I can see it.
Righteous - I can only hear Crush the turtle from Nemo yelling "Righteous! Righteous!" as he catches the current.
Renesme -Yeah, because alternate spellings are just what this "name" needs.
Rejoice - I kind of like it. It's OTT, but it's happy.
Raigyn - Is...is that supposed to be Rain?
Qwynn *double sob*
Psalms - Way too wordy for me. It might be the plural that does it. I could take Psalm.
Prosperity - Not the worst word name, but too much for me. It feels greedier than the average virtue name.
Poetry - Neat!
Plum - This too, but I'd never consider it as a first name.
Perseus - ON A GIRL???
Peregrine - Hate it on boys, hate it more here.
Pennylane - Wasn't this the name of the clown monster that ripped kids to shreds in It? Or is it just a Beatles reference? No matter. It sucks.
Pearlie - I immediately want to know if her last name is Gates.
Pazley & Payshence - I'm speechless.
Patrick - Who would do this? Patrick is wholly and unequivocally male.
Padme - Because she was such a strong character and all. Not.
Odeth - "Oh, Death!"
Nube - Could be from an African language perhaps, but, eesh. Doesn't work very well in English.
Mystery - Strange. Not mysterious, but definitely strange.
Moo - Could this be Chinese or Korean? I'm sure I've seen Mu before.
Michaelina - Fussy, but pretty. I associate it most with frozen dinners, though.
Miavictoria - Really needs a hyphen or a space or something. Mia Victoria would be a decent combo, even though I hate both names.
Marvelous - She'd better be.
Maguire - Horribly masculine. And ugly.
Lovey - That's what you call your baby's favorite stuffed toy, not the baby herself.
Loki - Well, I know I think "girl" when I see Loki.
Klarity - What's wrong with Clarity?
Kessler - I like this on a boy.
Kdynce - It's like Cadence fell into a wood chipper or something and came out horribly mangled.
Jully - I wonder if it's like Julie, like July, or like Sully with a J.
Jorjia - Even worse than Jorja
Jezebelle - Classeigh.
Jewelian - This, too.
Icesis - The goddess would not be pleased to have her name so abused.
Honestii - I don't understand why anyone would take an already rare (as a name) word like Honesty and turn it into this. Why, why, why??
Heiry - I bet it's pronounced like "airy."
Hedy - Cool! Not easy to grow up with, but cool.
Hannabelle - So awkward, it's almost cute.
Grissel - Waaaay to close to gristle.
Gidget - Even the character got a real name.
Gideon - Bleah!
Georgeanna - Aw!
Franklin, Fernando, Felix - I'm praying for reporting errors here.
Evilynn - Uh-huh. Ignorant parents just trying to get creative with Evelyn? Or messed up parents deliberately incorporating the word "evil" into their daughters' names?
Evening - Sweet!
Envee - Not sweet!
Edyth - I like this. It's kind of a GP spelling.
Edgar - I'm not seeing this, I'm not seeing this...
Dulcinea & Dulcie - Fun.
Derek, Darwin, and Darryl - See Edgar.
Dayzi - It's Daisy for Dummeez.
Dabney - I picture a baby girl with Dabney Coleman's mustache.
Courtland - This feels more masculine than Courtney.
Chantilly - She has a wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk.
Cassiopeia - I'd love to meet a RL Cassiopeia. Andromeda, too.
Carlos - No.
Cannon - I hate this!
Cameo - Interesting.
Brystle - Horrid.
Bryony - Always nice. I'm surprised it's so uncommon.
British - Wtf?
Breseis - Like.
Branwen - I prefer the less fiberful Bronwen, but Branwen is still pretty.
Beckham - NO!
Avaelizabeth - Some names should just not be smushed.
Autumm - I'm sad now.
Aquinnah - I like this one.
Adelheid - That's ballsy. I'd rather be Adelaide or Heidi, myself.
Ace - I hate this name on boys, and I think it's just as bad for girls. It sounds like the parents' lease won't let them get a dog, so they decide to have a baby instead and give it their favorite dog name.
