HelpRe: names I'm thinking about
in reply to a message by Katie
I like a lot of these.
Seth has long been a favorite. My husband only likes it for a girl though. So... even though I know it was used for both genders long (long!) ago, I can only see it for boys. I love it on boys though.
Shea - not used as much, a refreshing but simple choice.
Casper - I truly love this name. I really wish people would just forget about the ghost! It would be hard to live everyday being compared to that. However, such a handsome name.
Bruno - eh. Not my favorite. It screams henchman to me, probably because I have read too many foreign mysteries.
Edgar - Adore this. I can't eve describe how much I like this name. It's almost like a curmudgeonly old man, yet also very childlike and sweet. Great udal characteristics in a name. I just like it.
Hero - I like it, but prefer Bayani, which is Tagalog for "hero". A gutsy choice for parents though.
Mitchell, classic. I actually kinda like Mitch too.
Morten. Hmm, interesting, but I am not sure I like it. A little cooler than Horton though.
Aurora - always lovely, even though I trip over the pronunciation.
Baila - secretly adore this. I really do. If I could somehow convince myself that this matches Clarisse (it doesn't)... I would use this. It's just very pretty in both sound and spelling to me.
Juliet - core of classic. I just think this name is so elegant and pretty.
Kestrel - I like it. I am a fan of nature names so this works for me. It is a little clunkier than a lot of nature names, but I find that to be endearing.
Lesley - I like it. Prefer Leslie spelling. I have an Uncle with this name, so it's hard to imagine using it on a girl myself. I do think it has an appealing sound though.
Soraya. Before Clary was born, we considered this name seriously. I love both Soraya and Sanora... however, my mother went through this aweful phase of subtly tainting all the names on our list she didn't like. For this one she kept "accidently" saying Psoriasis. "So what will be her middle name if you choose Psoriasis? I mean, Soraya... haha, sorry!". Name. Ruined.
