HelpRe: Your favorites/least favorites
in reply to a message by Caroline
FAVES:
Cecilia - because it's got the frill without overdoing it... It's pretty and flows well. I do prefer Cecelia, but I like this spelling too.
Susannah - It's got spunk for being an old-lady name and I love it. It's a mouthful and totally unecessary in the best way possible. love.
Polly - Cute, unexpected (in the States) and always makes me think of old movies from the 50s. Darling.
Eliza - Love/Hate relationship, and today I am on the love bandwagon. It is short, sweet and cute. Borderline trendy but ages well and has lots of history.
Katherine - Just classic. I wouldn't use it myself, but it's a great name and Kate is always a good choice too.
Jane - Will always love it for it's simplicity, charm and history. It's the blank-canvas name that you can frill up or tone down however you want.
Emily - Just cute. Can't deny it's girly power.
Claire - classic, and I am biased since my daughter is Clarisse - a version of this. Not quite as cute as Clara or any other variation, but the Breakfast Club reference will always make the name cool.
Agnes - Old-lady chic. Such a bold choice that you can't help but love it. Ingrid too.
Laurel - sweet and soft, I have always liked it. The -el completes that name better than Laura or Lauren.
Adela - I actually prefer Adella, but I like the sound any way.
Lark - Simple, sweet, natury and nostalgic for Saved by the Bell. It's a darling name that I am suprised is not more popular.
NOT-SO-FAVES:
Margot - Know too many that I do not like. I like the name itself, but it's just not even on my radar anymore.
Sylvie - used to love. But it's annoying me lately. Most S-names are.
Julia - I like it, but don't love it. I don't know. As a stand-alone name it seems boring today. Sorry.
Virginia - Eh. Old fashioned but lacking some charm, unlike Georgia. Don't mind it, but it has the word virgin in it so I find the the name most-likely-to be teased for.
Grace - Pretty name, nut nms. I like it better as a first name, but don't like Gracie.
Sally - Boring to me. Like Sadie... it's a full name that should be elongated... but just isnt.
Louisa - never was a fan of this name or Louise. It's not aweful, I just don't like it.
Celia - The spelling bothers me because I see Celiac. The sound is lovely.
Frances - prefer Francesca, Francine or Fran
Isabel - common, and I like Isobel and Isabella better.
Eleanor - no idea why I put this here. I like it, but not as much as the others.
Laura - Needs and ending.
Rebecca - prefer Rebekah. This is my mother's name, so I technically like it... but the Rebecca spelling gets on my nerves I guess. And I don't like Becky.
Diana - pretty but nms
