HelpCouple of Names + Sighting
These are the names that are running around in my mind, for better of for worse. Just wondering what your opinions on 'em are!
Enver
Korbinian
Cynefrith
Ithiel
Sender
Zerubbabel (this name pops up on my radar every once in awhile, and currently it's back in circulation)
Flavie
Raymonde
Lore
Helle (love the sound and look despite it being pretty much unusable)
Auda
Also, on a game show recently (Jeopardy, I think), there was a boy who was about ten years old named Cerulean. Thoughts on that? I like that it makes me think of oceans and clear skies, and I could maybe get used to it as a name, but it'd always sound kind of silly to me. Plus it's long and I can't think of many good short forms. Ean, I guess?

Enver - This is pretty neat. Never seen it before. I like it.
Korbinian - seems like a fantastical elaboration
Cynefrith - I quite like this
Ithiel - Like a lot, and the only one of these names I was familiar with already!
Sender - Ooh, like
Zerubbabel - Way awesome for fun hypothetical combos
Flavie - I do like the sound of it maybe sorta
Raymonde - Nope
Lore - As Laura, meh, but I think it's pretty cool as the English word
Helle - that's hella tight
Auda - cute, haven't seen this before. It's like a less cutesy version of Audie
Cerulean is not the most particularly usable color name, but props to his parents.

Cerulean is eccentric and nms personally, but I think it's fine, and namey enough to be functional. It strikes me as sort of hippy style, like Sequoia or Gemini or Meadow. I ran across a kid named Taurean ... it's like that, too.
Enver - if you're just saying it in English to rhyme Denver, it seems made-up or surnamey. Like it's just a coincidence that it's a Turkish name. As a made up name, it's not bad though.
Korbinian - this is nms, middlenamey, the kind of name that would be odd if it weren't honoring something or someone. But, not unpleasant
Cynefrith - seems feminine / pretty to me, and too archaic prn-wise with the c=k and final th as in this. Maybe Cynefrid.
Ithiel - nms, lispy
Sender - too word-y for me but OK
Zerubbabel - comical, tonguetwister, looks like a name a religious fanatic would use. The Zeru part is cool, but the rest ...
Flavie - neat. FLAH-vee, right? Not flay-vee
Raymonde - ok on a French speaker, blah in English
Lore - this seems masculine to me because I know a male Lore (prn like the word), but prn Lor-uh is nice
Helle - would be kinda cute prn rhyme Ellie. I don't think the hell in it matters that much, unless you prn it to rhyme Ella.
Auda - eh, doesn't strike me... it's ok.
