HelpRe: What are your favorites & least favorites from my list?
in reply to a message by HarderToBreathe
Three favorite girls:
Veronica---I just love most girls names that start with a V. There's something so sleek and sophisticated about the letter. Veronica is a sleek sophisticated name.
Cassandra---I like the crisp first syllable prefacing the soft next two syllables. And its roots in Greek mythology.
Evangeline---Probably too many religious overtones for me to ever actually use, but's it's so pretty and has a nineteenth-century vibe, which I like.
Least favorite girls:
Phoebe---Horrible sound. FEEE-BEEE. I just can't see the appeal.
Amelia--There are reasons that I should like this, it's classic, it also has a nineteenth century vibe, it ends in IA, which I generally really like in a girls' name, but that "MEAL" sound in the middle makes me hate it.
Willa---Ick. The very masculine Will with an A stuck on. Ugly and clunky and I just can't imagine a pretty Willa.
Favorite boys:
Cassius---Handsome, masculine, strong, and ancient. Not one bad thing about it.
Luke---I've always liked it. Also handsome, masculine, strong, and it's to the point.
Samuel--You can't go wrong.
Least favorite boys:
Tobias: Weak and whiny. Toby is even worse.
Jude---Ugh ugh ugh such an unattractive syllable. I hate Judith and Judy for the same reason. Just ugh.
Jasper--Always make me think of a greenhouse full of fragrant blooms, which may not sound like a bad thing, but in a male name I don't find that desirable, just not strong, weak, you can walk all over a Jasper. Yet at the same time, has an evil vibe. No.
