Re: WDYT? names I'm considering today
in reply to a message by Katie
Deborah - Rather dated, I can't really imagine a Deborah under 40. Maybe it's time for a comeback though!
Alice - Love it, sweet and feminine but not too frilly, suitable for any age and not dated to any particular time period.
Caitlin - I don't mind Caitlin, but people will pronounce it "kate-lin" not "kaht-leen". If you want to pronounce it like that, spell it Catline or something.
Cheyenne - A bit trashy
Jade - Also somewhat trashy, I much prefer Jane
Kristin - I prefer Kirstin. I think Kristin sounds dated to the 80s/90s and Kristy is awkward. I also think the "Kr" combination looks weird.
Nicole - Nice enough, but again dated
Zara - Fine, although I prefer the softer sound of SaraArlie - Would be OK as a nickname, but too cutesy for a full name on its own
Bram - OK
Byron - Sounds like an old man with a monocle! Can't take this seriously
Daniel - Nice
Hayden - Too trendy, -ayden names are getting a bit boring
Inigo - Not sure how to pronounce this
James - Classic and lovely. A bit popular but not trendy-popular or flash-in-the-pan.
Kester - This sounds like a girls name, like Esther or Hester
Marlowe - I'm not keen on surnames as first names
Natan - Looks incomplete; love Nathan thoughMy favourites are Alice and James. Least favourites Cheyenne and Byron.
