[Opinions] Re: Celeb BA
I don't think Wren works on a boy. I don't know why; the sound is perfectly unisex and it it's just an English word name, but it says "girl" to me. I like Luna, Wren, Theodore, and Alexander. Simone could grow on me. Miles sounds whiny and annoying. Esti looks too nicknamey to me, but I see that it's a full name that just happens to be short and end with "i".Maxine isn't really on my radar much but I think it's the same style as Simone? They both seem like "dated feminized names" in a very specific way, different than other "feminized names" like Alexandra-- the "one/ine" kind of ending stands out somehow. I think these names would also fit the category of Yvonne, Yvette, Charlene, Maureen, and maybe Louise and Nicole. If I could make minor changes:
Luna Simone
Milo Theodore
Essie Mattea (ideally short for something -- Esther or Esperanza?)
Ren Alexander (I want to see Wren as unisex but it's still girly to me)
