Re: Top Ten for August
Freya Beverley - At first I thought this was mixing genres a bit, but it looks beautiful on paper, especially this spelling of Beverley.Eve Mulberry - I like Eve, but I'm not so keen on Mulberry as a name.Gwen Elsabeth - Gwen is one of the few "diminutives" that I can see as a full name, though I would prefer it if it were short for Gwendolen or Gwendoline or something similar. I like this spelling of Elisabeth.Rose Elowen - Elegant and surprising.Annabeth Chiara - I'm not big on combination names, so I don't really like Annabeth; and something so English paired with something so Italian I could only see working if the bearer herself were at least half Italian.Sylvie Ursula - Beautiful. Although I would probably go with Ursula Sylvie, since Ursula is one of my all-time favorites.Greta Leigh - Too informal-sounding.Lucille Annika - These names don't look right together. One is very French (or dated English), and the other a Nordic diminutive.Michelangela Jane - Cute! I love Michelangela, but it takes guts to use it and charsma to pull it off.Viveka Posy - Another "mixing genres" name (for me).(Allegra Fernwren) - If I could get passed the allergy medicine association with Allegra, I would use it. Fernwren is a mouthful to say, though.(Susannah Robyn) - Neither name is my style.
Abram Leander - Neither name is my style. (I guess Leander is okay, but I would use it.)Quentin Janvier - Very French. I wouldn't use it, but I like it.Ren Dashiell - Like with Freya Beverley, you combined something very modern with something older. And again, it works.Mars Andrew - Neither name is my style.Kieran Fox - Cool name.Cassius Evan - Cassius is such a strong name, and a good choice. Unfortunately, I find Evan kind of "soft," so this is an odd combo for me.Wesley Boone - Another cool name.Campbell Hanan - Sounds like two last named stuck together.Foster Odin - Neither name is my style, but this name does sound like you want to foster an ancient Norse god.Barrett St. John - (see Campbell)(Edan Rogers) - (see above)(Calix Monroe) - Interesting, although I don't know if the names go together.
