HelpRe: A few I've been thinking about
in reply to a message by Ismene
I love Audra.
Amir is good.
Aryeh is alright, though kinda gets lost among the Ari-names.
Marta is pretty good.
I have issues with the rest.
Chrysanta - too much Santa in it. Nice and sparkly otherwise.
Lilibet - a little bet. Lilliput.
Saffron - seems very sleazy to me for some reason.
Minodora - interesting, but also sounds like air freshener (Minimize odors with Minodora!) ... I've seen Mindora and liked it.
Alizarin - a lizard, where!? *standing on a chair slapping at clothing* The sound of "alizarin" actually gives me an image of lizard eyes very readily and I think it sounds sinister, haha.
Tigris - tigress ... or tiggeress? It's a middle name.
Mamie - to me it sounds like a silly exclamation. Well, Mamie my mossicles! Golly gee willikers!
Marlon - Brando and fishes, but it shouldn't be. I would like it.
Ulyss / Ulysses - nicely heroic, but a name starting with a "you" sound just can't be that appealing to me.
Kemp - sounds preppier than a pink alligator shirt.
Peregrine - eh, it's kinda cool? Eccentric though, you have to want it. and Perry is like, Kemp's brother.
Amato - a neat name, however in English it seems too similar to tomato.
