HelpRe: It's finally my turn to decide on a name!
in reply to a message by Jessica
Girls:
Penelope - I love the nn Penny, but not sure I'm actually too keen on the full name
Eleanor (Ella) - NMS
Gloria (mn only) - pretty mn
Joy (mn only) - NMS
Noel - for me this is a boy's name
Willa - don't like it, has potential for teasing and doesn't feel like a 'proper' name to me
Suri - I prefer Siri
Adelaide - I'm undecided, I don't think it's horrible
Adya - NMS
Britta - I can only think of the water filters
Britain - can't even consider this as a name
Brooke - it's ok, but maybe a bit dated. Although she might be the only one now
Cameron - it's ok
Camilla - pretty
Claire - also a pretty name
Colby - complete boy's name to me
Cora - It's nice, but I'd really love to see Coral
Daisy - it's ok, it's quite popular where I am
Ella - cute
Eva (ee-vuh) - pretty
Holland - I think Hollie / Holly or Hollis are better, but if you're going for something slightly unusual I guess it's ok
Imogen - :) I really like this
Ingrid - this is really cute and lovely and would age well
Ivy - it's ok, I think perhaps quite popular over here
Joby - NMS
Juliette - I really love this name! I prefer Juliet, but that's just personal preference
Lorelei - I have always disliked this one, not for any reason in particular
Lyla - It's ok, I prefer Lola or Lyric
Macy - Oh I love Macy for either gender!
Madalena - Very nice... although I hate the nn Maddy! I think the 'lena' makes it more graceful and age better than Madaleine.
Paige - NMSAA
Rory - I love it, but only as a nn for Aurora
Sabra - Never heard of this, and it makes me think of snakes.
Thora - It's ok
Boys:
Percy - Prefer Perceval, and don't really like the nn Perceval
Jude - I like this, very nice
Benedict (mn only) - Nice solid mn
Linus - NMS
Emmanuel (mn only) - a new found love for me
Adael - new to me, and my immediate feeling is I don't like it
Adiel - as above
Asher - lovely, lovely name
Azriel - prefer Azrael, but happy to see it on the list
Ezra - one of my very favourites :) such a lovely name
Simon - it's ok
Arlo - very nice, another favourite
Edmund - prefer Edmond, and I REALLY love Edgar, but this is a perfectly nice name
Ephraim - NMS
Ezekiel (mn only) - don't like it, even for a mn
Ilia - prefer Elijah, but not bad
Lucius - I'd keep it to mn, because of the HP connections (although I do love HP)
Quinn - dislike it
Reuben - It's ok
Raphael (mn only) - I used to like this, until I met a very obstinate little boy who has put me off it somewhat! It's ok
Reuel - NMS
Shiloh - Oh I am SO happy to see this on a list for a boy! I was very upset when Angelina gave this name to her daughter, as I already liked it for a boy. I think it would be lovely.
Silas - Can't get the picture of the albino monk from Da Vinci Code out of my head anymore. Potentially a fine name if you don't have that connotation
