Re: New SO-approved names
in reply to a message by Petra
Daria- I like it, but I prefer Aria.Ramona- Not a fa, but the nn Romy is cute.Claudia- I've never liked it, and for no good reason. I don't mind it on someone else though.Phoebe- This is one of my least favorite names. It looks like 'phobia' and sounds like feeeee-beeeee (also close to a whiny 'feed me!'). Penelope- Also not a fan, but Penny is cute.Damon- Not bad or good. Rather forgettable.Nina- I don't mind it, but I don't think it ages well.Daphne- Love the sound and its ties to mythology. The look bothers me, but there's no way around this since any other spelling looks worse!Margo / Margot- Margo looks incomplete, but I love Margot. Margaux is even better.Arthur- I like it as a middle name.Athena- Love it. It's feminine yet strong, and again I love the mythology. I also like that it's familiar, but uncommon.Nona- This is like naming a child Grandma or Nanny. I do like Nora or Nola, though.Laurel- Very pretty and delicate.Fiona- I like it a lot. It has spunk.Nadia- I don't care for the sound at all.Moira- Not a favorite but not horrible.Malcolm- I love it.Cormac- It sounds like a product brand or company name.Roman- Okay, but I prefer Rowan or Ronan.Quentin- Again it's okay.
