Name Rating Competition Sort of Thing.
Post seven names, as shown below. Feel free to include their meaning, but it is not necessary. However, I will not rate the names based on meaning (although I may be unconsciously influenced by the meaning of a name if you include it). If it isn't obvious, note the gender. (Do not include middle names or you will get a rating of 0! You can include names with hyphens though, such as Mary-Kate.)
1. xxxxxxx - means "....." (F)
2. xxxxxxx
3. xxxxxxx
4. xxxxxxx
5. xxxxxxx
6. xxxxxxx
7. xxxxxxx
I will rate each of your names out of 10 in a response to your message. The maximum amount of points you can earn is 70. I am obviously rating the names based on my own personal taste. I'm very picky with names.
Here's a hint. These are two names I like: Lysandra (don't like Lysander though) and Alden. Also, if you use the same name as anyone else, it will get a zero. Messages will be read in the order in which they are posted. Under the "subject" for your message, please just list the seven names so that it makes it easier to have no repeats. Also list them again in the actual message with numbers (and meanings if you want) as shown above. Thanks and good luck!
If you get closest to 70 pts and win, you can get my own personal critique of your name list (if you'd like).

Oh wow...
-bows- Thank you, thank you.
-goes up to accept trophy, walks over to the microphone and begins speech-
I really never expected this, but I guess you guys just really love me. -wipes tears from eyes-
This is just the best thing I've ever won, even if it's second best. As they say, '1st is the worst, 2nd is the best, 3rd is the one with the hairy chest.' :P
I'll be going now...

I sort of want to do this too
So let the "slaughter" begin :P
Solomon - honors both mine and DH's mason "heritage." Also, my husband's name is David and Solomon was the son of David :) (On a side note, my name is Jessica and Jesse was the father of David ;) kinda neat to us)
Noah - nothing special, we just really like it.
Emden (f) - place name that honors my German heritage.
Avelina - again honors my German heritage.
Albert - honors my g-grandfather and gg-grandfather.
Meadow - because I'm a hippy born 20 years too late.
Eliora - nn options are pretty numerous (Elle, Ellie, Liora, Lee, Leah, Lora...) I like that option in case they are a Leah to the family but Dr. Eliora Lastname (or whatever profession she chooses) later in life. Fun and grown-up at the same time.
