HelpRe: Names I've been thinking about - opinions?
in reply to a message by Caroline
Melanie - I love it, but it's finally becoming dated in my view. Somehow I think it'd be a little bit disappointing as a baby name. But I love it anyway, the rhythm of saying it. Seems sweet and fun.
Cara - CARE or CAR? I like either, but CAR slightly more. It's very breezy. Hard to imagine on an elder woman, to me, but it's not girlish.
Shannon - Another one that I can't see as being an old lady name. I like this too, it's also breezy and lilting. So 70s. In a good way.
Karen - okay, this one is old lady enough to be a good baby name. I always liked the sound of it. But now it kinda reminds me too much of the word caring.
Tara - I grew up with a TAH-ra so I struggle with pronouncing this Tair-a. I don't really like it either way. T names are sometimes so prickly and bossy.
Michelle - it's alright. I like it, but not in a favorites sort of way. It's dated, I wouldn't consider it as a baby name. Michelina now.
Colleen - seems freckly and brassy and coltish. I like the anglicization aspect of it. But not the look of it, or the general impression I have. It's okay though. It even grows up nice. Nicer than Kaylyn!
Marjorie - seems down to earth, smart and friendly. I like it. Ageless, kinda.
