Helpa few names I ran across the last few days...
I forget where these two came from, but it was two young sisters whose first and middle names are Cloud Nine and Venus Violet. One sounds like an easy-listening workplace radio station, and the other sounds like feminine deodorant spray.
And an article in the paper talking about the governor of Iowa holding a hearing on wheterh to release a convicted killer who has served 38 years and has supposedly been a model prisoner. The prisoner's name is Rasberry Williams.

Cloud Nine just sounds stupid. I would even rather be Heaviside Layer. Violet is OK, but Venus Violet sounds like a freakshow performer or something.
Raspberry could be a cute middle name (actually the Swedish word, Hallon, sounds rather cute, too, and has been given to at least about twenty girls). I don't think it's a good first name, though.

Cloud Nine is ridiculous. At least she can maybe lie about her mn and then people would just assume her parents were a bit hippie-ish and named her Cloud (which is still ugly). I think Venus is slightly more tolerable just because Venus Williams has made it known and you can associate it with a real person and not just the planet or the brand of razor. The combo is a bit much though. I'd rather be Venus Violet than Cloud Nine any day.
Rasberry Williams sounds like a cartoon character.

Cloud and Nine are stupid as names. Venus could be okay in the middle, maybe, but it's just so VA-VA-VOOM b/c of the goddess, you know? Violet is lovely. Cloud Nine and Venus Violet are dumb, dumb, dumb combos/names.
Rasberry (RRGH, there's a "P" in there, people) is stupid as a first name. It might be sweet on a girl, in the middle, as part of a sort of old-fashioned combo. For example, Alice Raspberry or Charlotte Raspberry could be cute and sort of 1880s-ish. :)

You're absolutely right about the sounding xD Not just alone the names sound horribly, also together. Just wonder why it's Cloud Nine and not Seven...
Quite a sweet name for a killer...^^

I read once that there used to be a radio show where the gimmick was the main character getting knocked unconscious and going to some amazing place he called Cloud Nine and having adventures and that's where the expression "on cloud nine" to indicate very happy came about.

'On cloud nine' is a pretty common idiom. I hear it a lot. This little thread made me go and try and find an origin for it but there doesn't seem to be a consensus:
