Re: My name list hit 90 names ^_^
in reply to a message by Julia
Liam - yeahh, I knew that xDMihai - wondering why it's unusable up front in English?Asha - I say it AH-sha :)Seren - woa never connected this with sarin o_o I wasn't gonna use it cos it sounds so much like Sarah you'd have to correct people all the time.Niko (and Anya, Xander, Theo) - I like short names as first names mostly so I'm always liking nicknames. But I agree that it's not to best idea to use them which is why I like Enya over Anya. Theo and Xander I couldn't use anyway, not with a Leo Alexander already ;)Lavender and Marigold - these are guilty pleasures for me too! I wouldn't use 'em except maybe maybe in the middle.Mali - I just learned about the country just recently but I still can't stop liking the name.Thanks for commenting ^_^

Actually, We considered using Seren (seriously). I had a friend in school named Seren and no one ever commented on it's similarity to Sarah or sarin. I heard the reference a lot when were testing out names to friends, but I think that the average person wouldn't make the connection.
Adore Lavender and Marigold. Shot down by DH, but I secretly think they are usable. Especially if you are a Roald Dahl fan (character in Matilda)

That's so cool!! I've never met anyone named Seren and it's great she wasn't connected with sarin or confused with Sarah. Thanks!!I think Lavender is somehow a bit more usable than Marigold. I'm glad you love them too :)

Mihai is completely unfamiliar where I am. Nobody's ever heard of it and pronunciation/spelling would be a pain in the neck.If I lived in Romania it might go on my list, though!
