Re: Jasper Nathaniel & Margaret Ellen
in reply to a message by puck
Jasper Nathaniel - I'm not crazy about this. Jasper is like the ultimate stuffy English name to me. Nathaniel I've never liked. I do like the nn Nat, though. I do wish I had more nice things to say. Margaret Ellen - I love Margaret. I don't like Mag, but you were probably anticipating that most people wouldn't like it. It's kind of self-consciously ugly, like screw you I'm ugly and I don't care. Ellen has never been my favorite either. It seems galumphing. I'd prefer Margaret Eleanor. Isaac James - This is nice if a bit boring. Isaac has grown on me, partly thanks to you! Susanna Katherine - Gorgeous, though I do think Katherine is a bit long for Susanna(h)Lucy Caroline - I'd prefer Caroline Lucy. Lucy seems a bit insubstantial to me. Benjamin Arthur - very handsome!Thomas Andrew - Also very handsome! Andrew is tired as a first name but I do like it here as a middle. Alice Virginia - Never have cared for Alice but I can see the charm of this combo. Love Virginia. Samuel Peter - love it! Charlotte Sophia - I've expressed my dislike for this name multiple times so I'll just leave it at that. Anne Rebecca - love it! I love Anne followed by longer names that end in an 'a' sound. I also like Anne Virginia and Anne Louisa a lot. Elijah Henry - meh, I feel like Elijah has been co-opted by sort of tacky namers. Like, Elijah now might have a sister named Ashlyn. Eli is a cute nn, though. And I do like Henry a lot.
