Replies

Yanna - okay, but seems flimsy, & Jana looks better to me for the same sound
Liadan - the sound doesn't appeal much, but it looks nice
Pax - sounds like 'packs', makes me want to add 'vobiscum' and reminds me of Paxo stuffing
Marigold - nice, very bright and cheery, would like to see it used more so I could stop associating it with rubber gloves :)
Clover - not unattractive but feels to me more like a name for a pet than a person.Gilbert - one of the better -bert names, a light and gentle sound
Quigley - this makes me giggle
Cypress - too much like a country to be a name, imo
Ignatius - sounds like he's easily set on fire & only seems to exist irl to get Iggy, which doesn't light my fire much.

I actually really like Marigold. I wouldn't use it though, because I wouldn't want people to call her Mari or Goldie. I feel like that would probably inevitably happen. And then I like Clove, but not Clover. I think both names would be better suited for a pet regardless.I'm not digging any of the male names.

Yanna - kinda sounds like an old lady to keep for some reason
Liadan - very pretty. I like it
Pax - sounds more masculine to me
Marigold - good name for a pet or perhaps a fictional character
Clover - actually kinda like it but still not sure it belongs on a real personGilbert - love it
Quigley - a joke
Cypress - just not sure
Ignatius - actually like it, but it's a bit much, and the most natural nickname of course is Iggy which I do not like at all

Is Yanna pronounced how it looks? If so I think it’s pretty! I think Liadan would work better on a boy tbh, but I don’t like how it sounds like leading. Hate Pax, dislike Clover. I think Marigold’s ugly.I think Ignatius is nice, Gilbert’s not bad but not great either. Dislike Cypress and Quigley’s pretty awful imo.

Yanna — not familiar with it at all. What’s the origin / meaning?
Liadán — love it and its history, but would probably get mangled where I live.
Pax — love the meaning but kind of dislike it for the trendy sound. There are better names that mean peace.
Marigold — adore it. So bright, positive, and gorgeous.
Clover — I generally love plant names but I don’t think Clover really works. Gilbert — love this in French, but not so much in English.
Quigley — ick.
Cypress — love it. Such a strong, refreshing name. I think it could work for a girl, too.
Ignatius — like it, but don’t really think it’s usable today.

Marigold would make a cute mn, but don't like it for a fn. Clover I love, it's so sweet. It doesn't get much love here, but I think it's different and pretty. All the others are nms.

Yanna - yawn, ah
Liadan - looks pretty but sounds like laden and leaden: heavy, metallic
Pax - I prefer Paz, and even then, I'd prefer Topaz - I think Pax reminds me of pox
Marigold - I like it in theory, but something about it seems stuffy to me
Clover - only like it as a MN and/or for a guy; beyond that, it seems green or purple, and I like that about itGilbert - I think of Vampire Diaries, and wish I didn't
Quigley - squiggly piggly wiggly, ew
Cypress - I think it could work; I like it more than Cyrus
Ignatius - funky clunky saint name

Hi !!!Yanna 4/10: I dislike it. I prefer Yanne (French) or Ioanna (Greek).Liadan* 7/10 First time that I hear it. It is nice.Pax 2/10 I can't see it as given name and even on a girl. Ancient Romans were warriors so it seems very masculine.Marigold* 8/10 I really like it because it is a nature-name but also has 'gold' in it that seems bright.Clover* 8/10 I love nature-names. Plus it is the symbol of Ireland. I'd love to live there.Gilbert 5/10 I have not an opinion. It seems boring.Quigley 1/10 as I don't know nothing about it, it seems a surname. Plus it has an ugly sound. What about it? Why do you like it?Cypress 7/10 it could be my style as it is one of the few masculine nature-names that could work. The fact is that it reminds me of 'CYborgs'. It is not a good link in my mind.Ignatius 4/10 it is too much for a 21-century newborn. Horatio is better imo.

Yanna is okay is it is pronounced YAH-nah. But if it's YANN-uh then it is nmsaa and kind of unattractive.Liadan is gorgeous. I have a love affair with the look of it and I think in spite of being on trend it still feels bright and fresh.Pax is nice, I personally prefer it on a boy.Marigold is too froufrou for me. It works, but it feels prissy.Clover is a bit too cutesy for me. More a rabbit name than a human one.Gilbert is adorably dorky. Adorkable if you will. I love it, and I think Gil is nice and tones down the old man aspect a bit.Quigley doesn't do it for me, it feels too surnamey, but trying not to be.Cypress feels feminine to me. It's similar to Cyrus and I want to like it, but so think it feels more related to feminized job titles.Ignatius is handsome. I think it's a bit much for all the time and don't like any of the nickname ideas I've found.

Yanna - It's alright, feels a little insubstantial.
Liadan - Like it in theory, not in love with the pronunciation.
Pax - I just think of Angelina Jolie's son.
Marigold - A little too darling for me, but it's not bad.
Clover - Sounds more like a fairy than a person imo.Gilbert - Gottfried!
Quigley - Quiggles from Neopets... oh, the nostalgia.
Cypress - Reminds me the isle of Cyprus. I'd need to consider it in a combo rather than on its own, I think.
Ignatius - Love it, but it's a hard name to pull off.
