HelpRe: Names I'm currently digging
in reply to a message by Flora
I like Julian too, but it has a more antiqued debonair sound, where for me Jolyon is definitely more medieval / sci-fi :) Plus I like the idea of using "Joel" over "Jule"
It's a shame Melody and Melanie are both perceived as so dated :/ I get it, they straddle a weird line for me where on one hand they're in a camp with Heather, Kimberly, Dawn, and Michelle, (dated!) and on the other they're more like Wendy, Holly, Candace, Valerie, and Jacqueline (dated but weirdly sort of classic). I don't know if I could see myself ever actually using them IRL though.
Ellery isn't my normal style at ALL. It's one of those trendy "long-forgotten-masculine-surname-turned-feminine" names (like Peyton, Avery and Madison) which I mostly abhor, but for some reason when I imagine it on a little girl it just makes sense. I dunno, I have a young cousin named Ella so I wonder if that's not too close anyway.
