HelpRe: Please rate and tell me what you think about my favorite names ?
in reply to a message by booklover15
1) Rose - lacks personality; better as a nn.
2) Lily - I know they can be colourful, but to me it's just drooping and pale and funereal.
3) Jasmine - too sweet. Jessamine might be slightly better.
4) Veronica - good name, but inconveniently long and the obvious nns are bleah.
5) Elizabeth - great classic; I've used it as a mn. As a fn, some nns are better than others and it's the luck of the draw which one settles.
6) Savannah - and sisters Sierra and Tundra? Or Macon and Roswell? No, really! And Susannah is so much nicer.
7) Chloe - not overused where I live; I like it a lot and have only ever met very nice ones.
8) Arabella - too frilly; prefer Arabel but not enough to use.
9) Caroline - my first daughter! Enough said.
10) Emmy - ghastly. Emma is bad enough, but a babyish nn is a nasty life sentence.
1) Alexander - seldom used in full, which is a pity. I prefer the more manageable Alec.
2) Francis - excellent, especially if he can avoid Frank.
3) Kellan - eh?
4) Dylan - quite nice, and the obvious namesake is wonderful, but I don't like it enough to use.
5) Reuben - prefer the less biblical Robin and might use it.
6) Ernest - out of fashion, but OK; I prefer Ernst and abominate Ernie.
7) Ellis - not keen on lnfns, especially when they sound like Alice.
8) Laurant - is this a typo? If not, what's wrong with Laurent? Not being French, I wouldn't use it, but at least it has objective existence.
9) Mylo - another kre8iv spelling! Where I live, Milo is a chocolate drink, and therefore unusable for humans regardless of spelling.
10) Harrison - I don't even like Harry much! But it's better than this. So is Harris.
2) Lily - I know they can be colourful, but to me it's just drooping and pale and funereal.
