HelpRe: Do you like these?
in reply to a message by Caroline
Ida - though it is similar to Ava and Ada, I am not sure if it will get popular. It has a more dated feel than Ada (which I love) and I think it will be reserved for those feigning hipsters who reach just outside the realm of hip into Dusty Library territory.
That said, I like it and can see something like Ida Florence or Ida Marise being cutsy on a newborn.
Pauline - I like it, but I LOVE Paulina. We are considering using this for a daughter.
Inez, very culturally specific to me still. I have an ethnicity in mind and would be confused to meet a non-Spanish (or Spanish speaking culture) girl with this name. It is a sweet name. One that used to have the same connotations to me, but I see as more universal right now is Raisa.
Lelia. I don't like it, sorry. It sounds like a mispronunciation of Liliah or someone stumbling to speak. It looks pretty, but too tongue-twisty for me.
Zora - this is always a fantasy, sci-fi name. I like it, but it would take a special kid/lady to pull it off. I would love if that special person had wild red hair (for some reason).
Warren - Makes me think of Warren Buffet. I knew one kid with this name in school and he seemd dated, like his name. I like the sound, but I guess I would prefer something like Ward or Wade instead.
Nelson - neutral on this. It works, but NMS.
Winfield - hmm. Sterling was also semi-popular in the 1800s and I find that to be a better, unique choice. It's not that this is a bad name per se, it's just that it seems like it is trying too hard - or that the parents were super huge baseball fans but wouldn't decid if they wanted a Victor or a Wrigley, so they decided to combine the winner with the field.
