Re: My Top 40
in reply to a message by puck
They're all very classic and "safe". And so, obviously, there's nothing that I absolutely hate. That said, my faves are:
Ada Catherine is cute and prim and proper. But now that I think about it, Ada Caroline would be so pretty.
Caroline Sophia
Keturah Mary. I'm not a fan of Mary, but I loooove Keturah. It's just such a striking, pretty, weird-arse name. And I think Mary Keturah probably flows better, but Keturah is far too lovely to be 'just' a middle name. I'm gushing, but I seriously love Keturah at the mo, so I'm happy to see it.
Louisa Caroline. I think Louisa is over-used, but it's got a nice sound to it.
Magdalene Anna - Magdalene is rare nowadays, and pretty. But Anna is a bit of a let-down as a middle name.
Mary Keturah - see Keturah Mary.
Susannah Margaret - Susannah is stunning. Margaret, I can take or leave, but I love to see Susannah.
Winifred Mary - cute!
Arthur Samuel - two very nice names. Fab.
Asa Benjamin - I like to see Asa used.
Edmund Brandon - I adore Edmund, but I really dislike Brandon, sadly.
Ezra Paul - I like Ezra, dislike Paul.
Isaac James - nice.
James Arthur
Jasper Nathaniel - adore Jasper, shame about Nathaniel. It's still better than Nate or Nathan.
Samuel Peter - adore Samuel, don't like Peter. But I know a lot of nice guys called Peter, so I can't say I hate it either.
Of your top names, I really like Isaac, but Alice creeps me out a tiny bit. I just see the 'lice' bit, and, yeah, well... It's not the worst name going, it's just not for me.

Louisa is overused where? It's sadly very very underused in the US.
