HelpRe: On my mind
in reply to a message by Ismene
Keely - This is a relatively new name to me. I like it, since it seems to have a lot of spunky-ness, but I recognize that it is not so girly-girly. I guess I would love to know someone with this name but would never actually use it.
Corinna - So classic to me. I think it is adorable. If I didn't know a little girl named Corinne, I would have considered this name myself. It also reminds me of the Whoopi Goldberg movie, which was adorable and awkward.
Thistle - noun names are tricky, and I would say that the meaning of this one rules it out as usable to me. If you want an alternative, look to Briar.
Maven - So cute! I think this was used in an animated film a couple of years back and even my mom (so hard to please) commented on how lovely it was. It sounds so elegant and sophosticated, bordering on high-brow... but the short simplicity makes it cute, Good name.
Fern / Ferne - Torn on this name. It sounds nice, but its just... its Fern. If you are an early-type person who would also consider Moss and Meadow, it works. If you are not, it's a bit out there. (note: I love Meadow)
Felicity - My sister is a Felicia and I have always loved the uniqueness of her name, but never been fond of the "sh" sound. This name works as it is both dainty sounding and pretty, as well as fresh and uncommon. I do prefer the similar Felice though.
Ansel - Unique. I like it. A little more universal than Hansel and looks chic. I dont think I would use it myself, but I like it.
Amos - Love it! I do... It's on my little a-list with Abner, Abram and Arlie. Adorbs.
Cassidy - prefer it on a girl. I know, unisex and history/tradition and all that. I still like it better on girls.
Zephyr - Just looked at this name yesterday. I was actually looking at Zephyrine, but took the time to contemplate who would use this name for a boy. Its bold, its brassy and I like it. I am not, however, bold or brassy myself.
Wren - Love it. Both boys and girls could pull it off and it also got positive reviews from my mom, go figure. I think it's a rather intelligent sounding name and it definitely goes in the hipster grouping these days.
Larkin - Works, but I am not a fan. I like Lark but Larkin... eh. No real reason, just not my thing.
