HelpRe: Opinions on some random names
in reply to a message by Sara Ruth
Calista - nice.
Bethany - nice
Elena - nice
Susanna - what, all these are nice names?
Carissa - I might be the only one who likes this. But I prefer Karissa because it doesn't look like caress. Have you thought about Calissa?
Tabitha - nice
Christiana - nice.
Cameron (for a girl) - well, it has a nice sound that could be a girl name, but it's not my style because it's too much of a surname to me.
Silas - I used to like it but then I heard it used and thought, oh no, it's so prissy sounding! :-( It's like Theodore that way. NMS
Simeon - I don't mind it, but I would worry about people saying it wrong.
Titus - like Silas only nerdier.
Walter - wow, does it ever clunk. I can't really like it personally, but I think it's a decent name.
Nicholas - I really like this name.
Jasper - nice.
Moses - fusty and bibledorky and sad-sounding to me
- mirfak
Bethany - nice
Elena - nice

Thanks - glad you liked many of the girls' names. I'm not sure how I feel about Karissa, because the K seems harsher to me, but I see what you mean with not looking like caress. Calissa is ok, but I think I'd prefer Calista.
Silas, Simon and Theodore all have that same kind of weak/soft vibe to me. I've really tried to like Simon but just can't do it. That's why I prefer Simeon because it sounds stronger to me somehow.
Good to see another like for Nicholas too. It ranks highly (#54) but I only know two and almost everyone seems to like it... if only it were a Bible name then it would be perfect for us ;-)

Just to clarify ... I don't mean that biblical names or the Bible are dorky ... just I pretty much only associate Moses with the major Bible character, and that makes it seem dorky. It's like it's a super-self-conscious reference to the Bible... the religious equivalent of naming a kid Beckham.

Oh no prob. It made me laugh. . . As a pastor, I am positive I will be using the term.

Wow - thanks! I felt like it should be in there somewhere but didn't do a search to find it. Thanks :-)
