Octavia- is okay. A name name, and one I'd be excited to hear, even if I'd never use it.
Willow- lovely!
Caroline- I didn't use to like it, but recently lots of my role models have seemed to bear this name, and I'm really warming to it. It has so many nice nicknames, too.
Elena- sweet. My sister is Elin.
Luna- gorgeous!
Nina- always bugs me, 'een' sounds do. Nia I prefer (my name, heehee)
Margot- okay. Meg is a cute nn.
Kimberly- my guilty pleasure. Kimi is such a cute nickname.
Melody- oh, I want to like it, I really do!
Alexandra- nah, never liked.Clark- feels surname-y
Marshall- ditto
Tennyson- ditto
Atticus- nice, quite hipster. Good associations- To Kill A Mockingbird, plus the narrator of my favourite story book ever.
Sebastian- I love it, though I cannot for the life of me find a decent nickname.
Beckett- surname-y
Isaac- nice
Tobias- love it! I also adore Tobin.
Arthur- cute, Art is a nice nn.
Edmund- I've been warming to this lately.
