Re: Names you don't understand the appeal of
in reply to a message by Myosotis
Penelope- I don't like it either but you have to admit, it's kind of fun to say
Piper (for a girl)- It does sound off to me but I kind of get the appeal
Avery (for a girl)- Same as above
Harlow/Marlow (again, for a girl, but Harlow I just dislike in general)- I really like names ending in -o/ow. These aren't my favourites by any stretch of the imagination but I can see why they're liked
Emilia- Agree
Grace- Agree
Darcy (for a girl, love for a boy though)- Agree
Stella (There's just something off about the sound that I just can't place- love the meanings though)- I don't like it at all but I understand that it's spunky and yet classic (never thought I'd say anything in defense of Stella!)
Estelle (See above)- Same as above basically
Celeste (See above, except a I think with this it's the closeness to molest :()- I kind of like the way Celeste sounds (hadn't thought about the molest thing before!), Celeste just sounds so gentile, like she wouldn't hurt a fly
Killian- Absolutely agree
Quinn (girl or boy)- As I said to CruelPumps, I don't like it but I can see that, to some, it might sound nice
Gus (reminds of guts)- Agree
Augustus (2 bad character associations vs. 1 good one, plus prominent Gus sound)- I agree, although strangely, I love August!
Nicholas (All I hear is knicker-less when I say it)- Lol! What can you say to that?!
Ezra- I don't like it but I get that it's different, Biblical and has some spunk to it
Elijah- Elijah I will happily defend. I love the soft "j", I love the meaning "My God is Yahweh/Jehovah", I love that it's masculine but still soft, I love that it can work on any age, etc, etc, etc =)
