HelpRe: Zoom, MN after miscarriage.
in reply to a message by BabyNameAholic
I wouldn't use Zoom as an "official" NN (like something he'd write on school papers), but as an occasional one, it works okay. My cousin has a kid named James NN Jett and sometimes they call him Jetter; Zoom reminds me of Jetter.
I don't like Zephyr much, though: it sounds incomplete because when I hear Zeph, I expect Zephaniah (it's like expecting to hear Stefano or Stephanie and being told Steffer instead - doesn't seem namey to me).
Ivy Stella is nice. I think it's fine to use Stella, especially if that's meaningful to you.
I like how bright and energetic Poppy seems, but it's too boisterous for me personally; it also makes me think of morbid poetry ("In Flanders Fields" "Poppies in July" "Poppies in October").
Zara seems kind of trendy exotic but in a very likable way (sort of like Yasmin?)
I hate Amelie. I think it's insipid.
Tristan - IMO it's over the top Romantic: a protagonist in a tragedy, plus sounds like "tryst" and "triste (sad)". I know a pimply teenage one, and it just seems geeky.
Ronan - it's okay/handsome. My favorite of all the masculine names mentioned.
Tobias - I want to like it, because Toby is sweet, but it's "too bias"
Rhett - I feel like it should seem ugly, but I don't mind it
