Re: Favorite names not in database?
in reply to a message by Caprice
I love user-sub names, and always go a bit insane adding them to my lists. At the moment I like:
Amoret
Arthémise
Bethsabee
Elara
Fiammette
Mélissaire
Merida, don't like the film, just the sound
Montag (m), honouring a book character
Thomasine
Also:
Fenrir - totally badass
Adalind (f) / Alasind (f) - so Middle-earth
Alzira
Amaranthine
Amraphel (m)
Amunet (f)
Anahí (f)
Apollodora
Arsinoë (f)
Artemida
Asteria
Athenion (m)
Aziza
Bartimaeus
Bartolomea (f)
Cassandrine
Célimène
Clarimond (f)
Coraline
Eilonwy
Elestren (f)
Eliander
Elsinore (f)
Émérentienne
Erzulie
Esmerée (I wish it didn't make me think of Renesmee)
Galatea
Galilea (like the fem. form of Galileo, not like the sea)
Isabelline
Isambard
Izara
Jacova (f)
Merewen
Meriadoc
Nahla
Neri (f)
Nwyvre - so ugly and weird and odd. I kind of love-hate it.
Oktyabrina
Sibylline
Sosha
Templeton (m)
Zabeth
...My taste in names is so weird sometimes.

Thoughts on yours:
Amarantine - so OTT but so cool.
Apollinaria - eh, I don't think this has anything that Apollonia doesn't. Still really pretty.
Citlalmina - the meaning is cool, but... well... I can't remember how 'c' is said in Nahuatl, but even if it's 'ts' or 'z' rather than 'sh' or 'k' or 'ch', it either sounds kind of ugly or kind of unfortunate.
Naïade - pretty, ruined by rude words in Finnish.
Nanako - hmmm... I have a friend called Nanami (七美), and the first part of her name is 'nana' meaning 'seven'. So it might not be nine, rather seven. I looked up Nanako, and it can be written with the kanji '奈' which means 'apple tree', but it also seems that meaning is archaic. Anyway, Nanami is kind of cool, not sure about Nanako, and either way I can't get past the 'nana' sound.
Nanouschka - it doesn't sound Indian, it sounds more Russian (although I've never come across it) or Central Asian (ditto).
Orianthi - makes me think of Orinthia?

Sorry, I did mean seven, not nine! I've forgotten how to count in Japanese...
I'll change my OP!
