HelpRe: Opinions on these names?
in reply to a message by SJayne
Curtis - Really don't like this one. I hate names that end in -us or -is sounds for some reason.
Corwin - Sounds like he'd wrestle crocodiles.
Chase - Sounds like he'd like to shoot deer.
Garrick - I've never heard of this name before. It sounds kind of like redneck meets fanciful fairy. I prefer Merrick.
Hamish - I like this.
Hayden - No. Boring trend name.
Jeremy - I had an old boss named Jeremy (in his thirties still sporting a bowl cut) who I absolutely loathed so he's ruined this name for me.
Elliot - meh.
Ezekiel - I have a little cousin named Ezekiel called Zeke. He's adorable but I don't care for it. It seems straight out of Deliverance to me.
Gage - shockingly awful name.
Malachi - sounds sinister.
Elena - pretty, though I'd never think to use it.
Greta - I like this a lot as a nn for Margaret.
Ingrid - love this name. Don't understand why it's not used more.
Maci - Seems contrived. I prefer Maisie, but I don't even really like it too much.
Mara - I think this is pretty and wonder why it's not used more too.
Meredith - it's my roommate's name. I like her, but I also associate it with mean girls from the 80s.
Maura - I like Mara more but this name has some kind of charm I can't explain.
Phoebe - It's slightly charming on someone else's child or animal, but I don't truly like it. I'm a huge fan of Friends but Phoebe was my least favorite character.
Portia - Reminds me of The Merchant of Venice, which is a good association. But, still, it doesn't seem like a name.
Thea - seems insubstantial.
Bronte - would heartily prefer Anne, Emily, or even Charlotte. God I hate Bronte. What a pretentious faux-literary nightmare.
