Re: some Ings
in reply to a message by kudriashkajo
I looked up -ings today too. I was looking mostly at girls though (Aisling, Luningning ;))
I love Sterling / Stirling - and I wish I had the guts to use it. Silver I happen to have on my GP list though, so maybe it is just me.
Erling and Channing I could see as first names. The rest are too surname-y for me. Especially Kipling, though I would totally consider it for a pet (two hamsters named Rudyard and Kipling? Yes.)

Ah, Well I grew up with a surname that is a common first name (Gioia) so I prefer that names stay in their designated line-up in most cases, but make exceptions for others.
It depends on how bold the result would be. Kipling would certainly make a statement but it's a bit too high-collar whatever the statement may be.
