Favorite Male Names: Ephraim, Matthias, & Soren.
Least Favorite Male Names: Leof, Lemeul, & Winston.
Favorite Lady Names: Cordelia, Delphine, & Matilda.
Least Favorite Lady Names: (many of these names involve tragic tales of suffering and loss, so the following names I pick involve those with whom I most empathize, rather than sonority, popularity--or lack thereof, or practicality: Eloise, Ophelia, & Philomena.
OF louers sad calamities of old,
Full many piteous stories doe remaine,
But none more piteous euer was ytold,
Then that of Amorets hart-binding chaine,
And this of Florimels vnworthie paine:
The deare compassion of whose bitter fit
My softened heart so sorely doth constraine,
That I with teares full oft doe pittie it,
And oftentimes doe wish it neuer had bene writ. Edmund Spencer
