I LOVE this name. It feels whimsical and beautiful to me.
I don't mind the name, and it actually sounds super pretty, although the pronunciation might be a bit hard for a little one (think Finding Nemo), but it would definitely be something they could grow into. My other qualm is that everyone who's read Wings Of Fire has an extremely strong association with this name, but it's very pretty sounding.
Sure, while the word itself in my opinion is delicate and fun to say out loud, not all words can fit as a name. It’s a little too… outlandish, I guess.
It looks and doesn't sound very nice.
Love it! Ane sounds like Anna, and Mone sounds like Moné or Moon. It's also a colour so that's why I like it too.
Nice, if you think it's ridiculous try it as a middle name.
Reminds me of the word "anemia".
Ridiculous as a name.
I used to think this word was pronounced an-ee-moan which I actually think would be a pretty name. Not a big fan of the actual pronunciation as a name though.
I like the flower and the sea creature is cute! Good associations indeed!
Reminds me of sea creatures and enemies. No thanks.
My personal opinion: Why, why, WHY?!
We named our daughter Anemone June (after the flower and because she was born in June). As a two-year-old she can say her name very clearly without any difficulty. Her brother, age 6, has no issue with it either. We call her Nemi, Nem, or even Ani, for short (primarily to have an easier version for doctors, office receptionists, or other people who give us a sour face when we say her full name). I find it's mostly people who don't like any non-traditional names who seem to visibly scowl. But we don't care about that. The vast majority seem to genuinely like it when they hear it. We spent a lot of time thinking of any implications there could be for our daughter, but now we couldn't imagine her with any other name, and we all love it.
Idiots, idiots, idiots. There is also a type of flower (and I mean with petals) that are called anemones, not just the weird creatures. They are pretty flowers too, they come in a lot of colours. Please research if you think this name means the sea creature. This name is prettier than all of the weird trendy Ava Gay-va names these days. Beautiful.
I've been looking for a longer name for "Annie" and have really fallen in love with Anemone! It can't be any harder for kids to pronounce than Aurora...
It's kind of cheesy, and small children (plus some adults) will have some trouble pronouncing it.
This name makes me think of Finding Nemo when Nemo is trying to pronounce his home, but can't. So funny.
Children will have a hard time pronouncing Anemone, and this name isn't pretty either. To me, it's just the name of a sea creature.
I love Anemone, it is so bright and energetic. I don't feel that the pronunciation is too much of an obstacle.
I feel sorry for any child who has to bear this name. The pronunciation jokes would be endless. If I had this name, I'm sure even I would get mixed up sometimes! Besides all that, I don't find the sound too pleasant.
"Finding Nemo" just popped into my head--TEACHER: So, where do you live, Nemo?
NEMO: I live in an ameno. An ameneneneme. An amemememonemone--
TEACHER: It's all right, kid, don't hurt yourself.This name is insanely hard to pronounce for a kid. Don't give your kid this name!
I love the meaning, look, and sound of Anemone--it's the perfect middle name or a name for a character in a story, but I don't know about a first name. It may be hard for a very young girl to pronounce it! All I can think of is that scene from "Finding Nemo". If you don't get what I'm talking about, I'll paraphrase.TEACHER: What kind of home do you live in?
NEMO: I live in an ihn-ehn-nuhn-nee.
TEACHER: What?
NEMO: An an-ehn-ehm-ehn-EHM-nee.
TEACHER: Alright, don't hurt yourself.
NEMO: an-ehm-oh-nee.
Sounds like "an enemy".
The name is nice enough, but just think of a poor child called Anemone, going through life forever laughed at and compared to gooey, green tidepool-dwelling creatures.
You gotta feel sorry for a kid named Anemone - they're going to be called Amenome or Annenome for their whole life. Not such a terrible name, but the thought of a three-year-old named Anemone makes me snort uncontrollably. Of course, it's also like naming your kid Acacia - everyone thinks of the plant (or animal).
A pretty name with a lovely meaning.
