Re: Sightings!!
Oooh, I like a lot of these. I like Auden, Oren and Nyah (all have beautiful sounds), Ari (cute!), Amelie, Alexia, Fayette and Vivienne (pretty), Vaughan (handsome), Jesper (prefer Jasper, but I still like it)Blanca, Cocoro, Landry, Linus, Takemi, Jesna and Cimarron are interesting. Cimarron is perhaps too close to Cinnamon. I do prefer Blanca to Blanche. Landry is perhaps too close to Laundry, I prefer Landric. Philanthe & Erastus are pretty badass, however I'd prefer those as character names. I think they are too much for children. I'm not a fan of Mercedez (I don't like Mercedes, either), Sharlynn, Trapper or Leroi

Interesting fact, I actually used to know a woman named Cinnamon; her given name in fact. Not saying it's any better than "Cimarron." Both are too out there for me. I've never heard of Landric before, but it's certainly MUCH better than Landry. It makes me think of laundry as well, like someone saying the word in a weird voice or something.
Philanthe and Erastus come across as character names for me as well, especially Erastus, which was one of the reasons that made it so strange to see.

True! I can see the appeal of Cinnamon, although I'd prefer it as a pet name as opposed to a human name. Cinna, Cinnny and Cin all make cute nicknames, in my opinion

Cinna brings to mind, Cinda which I personally like. 🙂
