Reply to: Need some opinions on new faves and some combos by Lily
Flavia---I love this name. I remember that my sister sometimes mentioned a girl in her class named Flavia, back when we were kids, and I remember my parents commenting on the name, in a tone that indicated that they thought it was "weird". Well, they would. But I liked it then and I like it now.
June--I like June a lot. At one time I would have thought it frumpy and middle-aged, but that's changed.
Junia--I've never heard this, but sure, why not? It takes June and makes it a little longer and more flowery, and I love long and flowery.
Raven--I'm kind of on the fence about this. I like the sound of it, but not the imagery so much. Aren't ravens just a little sinister? That's the problem I have with it, but Raven isn't ugly.
Maisie---I think this is silly-sounding.
Grace---Nice enough, but getting boring from overuse.

I have no problem with nature names per se, I just happen to think that neither autumn nor meadow are particularly attractive words, therefore, to me, they don't make attractive names. Of the combos, I like Meadow June and Meadow Zoe the best. I don't like Violet, Primrose, or Aubrey, and Rose and Grace are just too fillerish as middle names.
