Re: 3 favourites/least favourites
in reply to a message by SJayne
3 favourites:
Geneva (Top 5 girls name for me. Love th sound, the associations I have ith it and the nn possibilities)
Elodie (because it's one of my top girls names and I love the sound and meaning)
Alba (ditto)
Soren (so handsome)
Finley (just pleased to see it on a boys list!)
Theo (spunky)
Runners up: Anneliese & Lucia and Seth & Hugo
3 least favourites:
Veronica (it just doesn't have an attractive sound at all)
Cora (ditto on the unattractive sound. Makes me think of rotten apple cores)
Violet (violent)
Jude (unattractive sound - Jude pooed, Jude the Prude, Crude Jude, Lewd Jude but mainly because Jude is the German word for Jew and I strongly associate it with visiting Auschwitz and other significant places in Europe and everything horrific I saw there and learnt about the holocaust. I wouldn't qant my kids name tied to all of that, personally)
Julian (sounds wimpy and sniveling, I can only picture it on a spoiled, pampered brat)
Grayson (unattractive sound, unattractive colour, too "50 shades of...." and I wouldn't want someone thinking I named my kid after that!)
Runners up: Quinn (all boy to me) & Phoebe (sounds comical and bumbling) and Cole (Coal) & Ronan (not liking the sound at all which is funny because I love Rowan and thats so similar)
