Re: Strange sightings
Tahlulah -I like it, but prefer the Tallulah spelling.
Rajwinder -I've seen this as a given name before as well. Can't say I'm into it. I like some Raj- names and I like some -inder names, but this one just does nothing for me.
Tierney -I kind of like it, but I can hear the "tyranny" thing so I 'd never use it. I'd use Tiernan though.
Citali (Again, not the surname) -Looks like someone mistyped Vitali.
Cocoro -I'm not feeling it.
Kuzey -wtf? I'm reading this as "koozie" like those foam insulator things for your drink.
Slate -meh. I like a lot of word/nature names, but this one doesn't excite me.
Darrah -Cool for a male, but nms for a female.
Zev -I always think this would be a fun nn, but not a fun full name.
Cambria -nms. Seems like a nice place, but not a good place name. If that makes sense. Not that I prefer Cymru has a name or anything. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Something along the lines of I feel like this should be a nice name, but for whatever reason, I can't get into it.
Travon -nms. I don't think I like any Trav- names.
Nelson -Nels is cool, but Nelson is boring.
Enzo -Love this. I have a character named this. He's a doctor, but he wishes he'd became a musician instead.
Soul -Seems weird and kind of tacky.
Ever -This is one of those names that is cool in theory, but not in practice. It should be left in YA novels.
Analie -"anally"
Semfora -Maybe it's because of Sephora, but this looks/sounds like a company or product to me.
Jessenia -Like it.
Edelmira -cool
Raven -meh
Cyrus -I like Cy, but not Cyrus.
Monroe -I used to have a friend named Monroe and it always confused me that he got a different name and his sisters were Sarah and Allison. Idk. I'm kind of neutral on the name.
Lucian -Like it as LOO-see-an, but not as LOO-shen.
Loic -LOVE. I think it used to be in my top ten, but spelled Loïc.
Jazarah -no thanks
Falcon -Brother to Hawk or Hawkeye? This is important.
Fenner -At this point, just go all out and use Fenrir.
Joli -I'm fine with this on the account that it reminds me strongly of Joly, the French surname and character from Les Misérables .
Akanksha -too much for me
Kaseb (Initially I read it as 'Kaleb') -I wish it were Kaleb. At least that's a legitimate name.
Hominy & Ginger (Twins) -I cry for them.
Satch -a nickname for Sasquatch.
Aura -a cute nickname for Aurora or Aurelia, but not that great by itself.
Sitthiphon -uummm. I don't even know what to make of this. I really hope this is a legit name in a culture and I'm just unfamiliar with it.
Kentaro -nms
Nerik -nms, but seems like it should be a legit pet form of something. idk.
Esynce -That's horrible and I hope these parents were fired.
Rhodes -I mean, it's not my style, but whatever.
Jules -I like, but prefer as a nickname.

Names certainly not rare themselves but ones not likely find among the younger generation:
Bernice -nmsaa
Helen -cute. My friend just had a baby and named her Helena.
Margaret -lovely.
Harold -nmsaa, but I think I'm mostly turned off by the "old" part.
Mavis -cute

I'm reading it as 'Koozie' as well. Perhaps the parents wanted and alternative to 'Suzie?' Either way, not a fan.
Semfora DOES look like a company or product. I absolutely agree. Can't say I'm a fan of the 'Sem' part.
I'm sorry to report but I'm unaware of 'Falcon's' brother and I don't even want to know! We can only imagine. *laughing*
Yeah, Sasquatch is the only thing that comes to mind with 'satch' that and satchel. Poor kid.
I sort of see your point regarding the name 'Ever' (Though I pretty much can only tolerate it as maybe nickname) I mean what makes it worse is the pairing of the kid's surname. Let's just say it sounds pretenious and silly.

Maybe they wanted an alternative to Suzie? Maybe they're actually Turkish? Who knows? We can only hope this poor Kuzey hasn't suffered too much from it.Poor Falcon. Now we'll never know if he's a bird or an Avenger. It's just such a big difference that I feel like it would change my outlook on my entire life if I happened to be named Falcon. Either way, I hope his middle name is something incredible normal.Satch, short for Satchel, seems somehow more probable when you remember Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee have a child named Satchel. As far as celebrity baby names go, it's always been an interesting choice, imo.
