HelpRe: names I'm thinking about
in reply to a message by Katie
From your list, the names I really like are...
Seth - I do not get the consistent Seth hate here at BtN; for me, the name is easy to say, warm, friendly and handsome, though I should mention I used to know a devoted family man by the name who has those qualities; I'm not a fan of the actor mentioned either, but he doesn't ruin the name for me
Casper
Mitchell
Juliet
I think most of the others are okay as names, though they don't appeal to me, personally, except Shea, Hero, Morten and Kestrel on a girl which I dislike.
As far as using names from other cultures for an English child goes, I think it's a case by case basis. Some "foreign/exotic" names happen to sound similar to commonly-used English names or some become well-known because of pop culture/historical figures, etc., so don't feel so "foreign". For me, an English Akiko without familial ties to Japan would seem a bit of an odd choice (maybe big Anime fans). Alessio might strike me as a bit odd too, but Lorenzo wouldn't.
