Crystalrose?! Please tell me you're joking. It's all mushed together like that too? :(
Not joking, and yep, spelled just like that.
FEMALE:
Ola - I just want to finish with Como estas? I know the spelling is different than Hola... but I can't help it, or take it seriously.
Felicidad - As a word and noun-name lover, I want to show support for this, but it lacks all femininity and poise to me. I can only hope she went by a nickname. That said, here's to embracing yoru culture!
Maxine - Like it. I suggested it to DH last year myself. The cool factor is upped by the 'x' here, but it's a standard classic from years gone by. I prefer Roxanne, but Maxine is just as lively.
Clariza - Um, love this. Obviously biased by the similarities to Clarisse, but this name is pumped up a notch. I like it! Part of me says that I should have named my daughter this, just so I could justify using Beatriz for a second. ;)
Lileth - Hmm. The spelling is far less attractive than Lilith, but the sound is still there. I do like Lil* names. They would be on my radar if not for extreme over-exposure these days.
Macrina - This has an unusual charm. I assume the culture is Spanish-based... which makes the sound of this quite lovely. If it is not Spanish (or arguably Italian) in sound, it would be incredibly ugly and stunted on the tongue.
Crystalrose - Hmm... Not really my style to smoosh... but this is not aweful. Crystal has a bad rap in the States as a ditzy or stripper-y name... but I have always thought the image behind the name was lovely (comparable to Amber).
Athena - Well, can't argue with this strong choice. Not really my style, but a bold choice.
MALE:
Errick - I just prefer to use 'c' when a 'ck' is involved. Eric will forever be my preferred spelling for this.
Tobin - I like this. I have only seen it on girls IRL, but always thought it would make a decent boy name. The ending is far stronger than Tobiah or Tobias, but you still get teh meaninga nd history of the combined names. Straightforward name.
