Re: Opinions on these names?
in reply to a message by Rose-Berry
Davina -- I love Davina! I've never known anyone with this name and I'd sure thrill to meet one. It's classic and feminine without being totally weird.
India -- I prefer Indira, however, I like India very much.
Louisa -- I also love Louisa. This is one of my top female names.
Tamsyn -- This doesn't stand up to the other three, but I can understand the appeal.
Fern -- OTOH, I can't understand the appeal of Fern at all. It comes across and frumpy and unsophisticated.
Bryony -- I like this well enough (along with Briony). Would you use the long i sound here? I prefer BREE-oh-nee.
Freya -- Sorry, this is one of my least fave names. I don't enjoy the Fr blend and it reminds me of the words 'fray' and ''fraidy' (as in 'fraidy cat).
Rosa or Rosanna -- While I love Rose, something about Rosa has never gelled with me. OTOH, Rosanna is lilting and delightful.
Sienna -- I like the sound of this. It just doesn't have as much substance as the other names. Having just said that, I'd love to see it in a sibset with Sierra! I just love looking at Sienna and Sierra together. Yes, they're too close, but visually, they're very satisfying to me, LOL.
