HelpRe: What are your favorites & least favorites from my list?
in reply to a message by HarderToBreathe
Most: Amelia, Selene, Cassandra
These are just favorites of mine. Most of your names I actually like, but Amelia is a top favorite of mine, Cassandra is my sister's name, and Selene is just gorgeous. I think the three of them are sophisticated and beautiful.
Least: Cleo, Sibyl, and Iris
Cleo still makes me think of that silly late-night psychic mumbo-jumbo, Sibyl and Iris are just plain ugly and old fashioned in a bad way to me.
Most: Augustus, Tobias, Jasper
Augustus is a top favorite of mine as well (well, August names in general), Tobias nn Toby is adorable and a fave, and Jasper is nice (though I prefer Jesper and Jesper is on my top faves list).
Least: Dimitri, Walter, Silas
Dimitri is too foreign and unpleasant to me (but I don't like most Russian names tbh), Walter is an old man's name and nothing more, and Silas is ugly to me and sounds like a villain's name.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "that silly late-night psychic mumbo-jumbo". Could you explain?
You are the second person that said Silas sounds villianous. That's interesting.
I love Augustus too (love Gus!) and Tobias is awesome. I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think it is really cool. Thanks for your comments!

There used to be these late night commercials for a 'Miss Cleo' ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Cleo) when I was a kid. The whole thing was clearly a scam and it made me dislike the name Cleo a lot. Not to mention she was prolific enough that there's still plenty of folks out there who know about her and would associate her with that name strongly.
As for Silas--while I can't reference anything specifically I want to say there's been quite a few books, movies, and tv shows with bad guys named Silas and it's uncommon and distinctive enough that that association remains. I'll try to think of some specific examples lol
