HelpRe: 3 favourites/least favourites
in reply to a message by SJayne
I find your naming style attractive but our styles are SO INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT. I will do my best, but comparing your names to what I like is like comparing apples and... guava!
Girls:
Three Favorites -
Claire - I just love this name. I think it's very elegant.
Lucia - I like it a lot more than Lucy. It's not a favorite, but it's appealing.
Anika - again, not a favorite, but a spin on an Anne name, which are my favorite genre of name.
Three Least Favorites:
Quinn - I'm sure this is going to be almost every other BTNers least favorite too. Seems contrived, kinda romance novel-esque. Instead of Quinn, I suggest Ginevra. Similar sound with it short "i" and also sort of romantic like the rest of your names.
Alba - Just unattractive. ALLLBBAAAAA - I picture a greasy old woman in a house coat frying chicken in a trailer. Instead I suggest Calla, because it has that same "a" sound but is much softer.
Rosanna - I just do not like Rose, and it upsets me to see it inflicted upon an Anne name. :) Instead I suggest Rosalind, because it's the only Rose name I like!
Boys:
Three Favorites -
Conrad - If I try I could like it, I think. It's very strong.
Harris - I usually don't like surname names (openly) but this one is ok. It seems somewhat Victorian, which charms me.
Ronan - I have a sneaking suspicion this is a Lord of the Rings name. Is it? Oh well, it reminds me of Rowan (which, do you like Rowan? It seems like your style.) which I think is a pretty, soft name.
Three Least Favorites -
Jesse - I associate it with Appalachian rednecks (not that App rednecks aren't great!). Of course you won't, because you're in NZ, so it doesn't matter! I just have a thing. Instead of Jesse, I like Morgan. Both sort of "girl" or girl-appropriated names I like more on a boy. Also Aubrey.
Cole - Again, this is culturally specific, but every boring woman in a vinyl village McMansion named their kid Cole in the early 2000s. Instead how about Nicholas?
Grayson - Cole's little brother would be Grayson. Or Mason. Or Mayson. Oh nooooo. What about Grey? I like it on its own.
