Re: names I'm thinking about
in reply to a message by Katie
Seth - I've always and wil always hate Seth. It makes me think of Seth Green who irritates me for no reason. I also know a Seth who's obsessed with ICP so, no dice.Shea - ButterCasper - The Friendly Ghost! I like Casimir more for that Cas- beginning.Edgar - Just a creepy name to me. Have ever seen Men in Black? It makes me think of the alien dead guy every time.Bruno - Bruno Mars is all I think of. It'd make a good dog name.Hero - Uuuuugh,I hate it. It's in the same vein of naming your kid Reign, or Saint. Mitchell - It's okay. My sister's dog was named this though, so bias.Morten - Morten the Mortician.
Aurora - Trying too hard, although I like Rory a great deal more. But it's one of those frilly names that makes me think of poorly written fanfics and Mary Sues. Anastasia Steele could have very easily been Aurora.Baila - It's not bad, but it doesn't roll off the tongue for me.Juliet - Definitely worse, but not my favorite either.Kestrel - I love bird names so this appeals to me on some level. I'm not crazy about it but it's one of those names I think would make for an awesome middle name.Lesley - I don't like Leslie very much and I really don't like Lesley spelling. It's dated and although I love the character Leslie Knope, I can't get behind her name.Rosabella - Aurora's over the top cousin who's parents liked Isabella but wanted something more 'unique'.Soraya - It looks pretty but I'm not entirely sure how to say it.
I think using different cultural names can be a slippy slope. I think something like Maeve that is an Irish name works well across the board but something like Akiko is a little much. It just seems very out of place and odd.http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/139762
