HelpRe: Names I'm currently digging
in reply to a message by Ismene
Melody - I'm not a fan. It's always seemed a bit tacky to me.
Melanie - I know quite a few my age (early 30s) and so I guess I just don't find it very interesting.
Megara / Meg - Megara is interesting. I didn't know the Greek reference, so if it's a bit less known than it's probably better than Jezebel. :) Meg is a very sweet nickname. How about Magali / Magalie, Magnolia, Marguerite, Morgan?
Ellison - I'd be up for it on a boy, but not a girl
Ellery - nice.
Starling - Again, the tacky-factor...
Glenna - Not my style at all
Bright - I would love this as a middle name
Jolyon - feels awkward to say
Wesley - Okay
Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'
To peruse my top 100ish names: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/82589
He is becoming greater, I am becoming less

Megara is at least also a city, but at mentioned in my response to mirfak, there's this, straight from wiki:
"In modern French (mégère), Portuguese (megera), Modern Greek (μέγαιρα), Italian (megera) and Russian (мегера), this name denotes a jealous or spiteful woman - Google translates all five as "shrew"."
Also, I want to mispronounce it :/ I'd put the stress on the middle syllable instead of the first.
