HelpRe: Opinions on some random names
in reply to a message by Sara Ruth
Calista -- I like this and its meaning, however, I prefer it spelled Callista. It seems more balanced this way and I like the nn Callie.
Bethany -- Bethany has never been on my radar much. Still, it's nice.
Elena -- Obviously, I like my name and the fact that it isn't that common nor are there any preconceived notions about those who bear the name.
Susanna -- This is one of my favorites. I like how classic it is yet you don't hear it as often as Susan or even Suzanne.
Carissa -- Just okay; it's a tad fluffy for my tastes (all 'issa' names are, actually).
Tabitha -- I like the sound of Tabitha yet I will always associate this name with tabby cats.
Christiana -- This is lovely and has a completely different feel than Christina.
Cameron (for a girl) -- I'm not wild about the name as it is and I especially dislike it (and all spelling variants) for a girl. The meaning alone would make me avoid it with a passion for a little girl.
Silas -- NMS and don't care for the ending which could be used as teasing (ass).
Simeon -- Don't care for the sound of the similar GidEON.
Titus -- Again, don't care for the potential teasing with ass (Tight Ass).
Walter -- Frumpy and old fashioned.
Nicholas -- Very nice and handsome yet I'm tired of it.
Jasper -- Handsome, distinguished and perfect for someone else's ds. ;-)
Moses -- Definitely too OT for my tastes.

Thanks for your comments. I've always preferred the Callista spelling with two Ls but this one seems to be slightly more popular so I was hoping it would be misspelled less. Although since neither is really standard it might always require explanation.
