HelpRe: Thoughts On My Top Ten?
in reply to a message by igoesrawrOMG
David Walter - Very handsome. I love Walter, it's very charming and quirky.
Gerard Castle - I love the flow of this even if I don't like either name. Gerard is such an old man name, and Gerry is ugly. I've known several Gerard's of all ages none of whom liked their names, they all went by nicknames unrelated to it.
Madison Ross - I don't think Madison is at all girly, it means "son of Maude" It's got Son right there in it! I also know a 20 something male Madison which helps. I do think it's possibly too far gone for the present time, maybe in 10 years. It'd make a handsome middle name however.
Dexter Ivan - Love Ivan. Dexter is a dog name.
Ceallach Olaf - Bless you.
Henry Ross - Handsome.
Thomas Castle - Handsome.
Loren Ross - I absolutely adore Loren, but I'd probably pair it with something with a harder sound.
Bailey Arthur - I really dislike Bailey. Arthur is gorgeous.
Klaas Allen - I don't really like Klaas, it looks weird to my English eyes and it's not all that attractive a sound. I have a soft spot for Allen.
GIRLS
Alice Lorraine - I don't particularly like Lorraine, but I give it a pass for being a family name.
Vivian Estella - I personally prefer a more feminine spelling of Vivian but otherwise it's lovely.
Eleanor Nystrom - Similar to Lorraine.
Elisabeth Story - This is just bad grammar.
Nova Carys - Nova is okay, but combined with Carys it sounds like a space port.
Amabel Gertrude - I love Gertrude! I think if I was going to use a stuffy name like either Amabel or Gertrude I'd use something a bit more mainstream to pair it with.
Dahlia Jean - pretty.
Ariadne Anastasia - too fanciful.
Theodora Millicent - Okay, Millicent is pretty ugly. I feel like Theodora can go both clunky or elegant and this is a clunker.
Julia Lorraine - see my comments on Alice Lorraine.
