HelpRe: Names we never warmed up to... why do you love / like them?
in reply to a message by erb816
I think I agree with you about Peter, Ash- names, Gary, Corey, Patrick, Jeremy, Pat (either for Patrick ir Patricia), Nicole, Shelly/Shelley, Shelby, and Sam.
I like Oliver, Dylan, Andrew, Kyle, Cody, Paul, Dustin, Ashley on a boy, Margaret, Alice, Danielle, and Angela. I really dislike Gertrude and Patti.
I have so many of them, but the ones I remember are Blaine, Blake, Finn, James, Silas, Arianne, Brianna, Faye, Janae (more of a dislike), and Xenia (though I like Xena).

I like James a lot. A distinguished everyman name.

Ah, Finn. Finn happens to be one of my favorites. It's almost too short, and the only vowel is a short-I, yet it's still a favorite. I don't know if it would be, if not for Mark Twain.
James is... uh, James. He's there. Sort of like John & Michael. I like James, but it's hard to be enthusiastic. (Can't stand Jim & Jimmy, though.)
Silas is an underused biblical name that doesn't seem too out of place in the present (thanks to similar names like Elias and Simon). Faye is another short & sweet name, but it carries a mystical edge to it. (It needs the -e, though: Faye or Fae. I don't like Fay.)
Xenia is so freakin' cool. I go back and forth on whether I prefer Xenia (which I pronounce as ZEN-ee-ah) or Zinnia, but I thoroughly enjoy both.
