HelpRe: 10 names on my mind
in reply to a message by Ismene
Hearth: Hmm...interesting. A little too wordy for my taste, but I can see it as a middle name. Not a very pleasant sound, though.
Atlas: Shrugged. The Ayn Rand association is enough to put me off of it.
Casey: I always liked this name, but I like it more for a girl. It doesn't sound as juvenile on a girl, for some reason.
Lark: Again, I think it's better for a girl. It's kind of pokey and spiky and cool. It's not a soft name.
Liesel/Lise: The Sound of Music. I can't imagine calling for a Liesel in a crowded supermarket. It would make me feel silly.
Rowen: Very nice, but I prefer Rowan.
Blaze: Nope.
Mirna: I prefer Myrna, like Myrna Loy. She was pretty cool.
Gry: Not diggin' it.
Raimie: Interesting. Like Jaime/Jamie, but not as childlike. Still weird, though.
Willoughby wolloughby willina, an elephant sat on Billina.
Willoughby wolloughby wirfak, an elephant sat on Mirfak.

I've never actually seen the Sound of Music.... Bits and pieces of the most popular scenes but never all the way through in one sitting. I've never liked Liesel before and I halfway don't even like it now. But then, I halfway LOVE it, it's weird. I should hate everything about it- it sounds like weasel, it has "Lies" right up front, but it's somehow just so satisfying for me to say; I like Lise in particular.
Lark is not soft. That's why I like it better on a boy. The "Lar" sound is just more masculine to me.
I like the Rowan spelling too. Rowen strikes me as more feminine I guess. I like Rowyn also because it looks similar to my moms name (Robyn) but I know that spelling would likely get shredded on this board.
I like Myrna as well, both spellings have neat meanings.
