[Opinions] Re: my twin nieces/nephews!
in reply to a message by Adria
Girl's Names
Addie Mae: Very cute name, a little cute for my tastes but it could definately be pulled off. I personally prefer Addie as a nn, but if its a family name by all means go for it!
Bronagh: Hmm, I'm not sure about this one, while I do like a lot of Irish-y names, there's something about the sound of this one that bothers me.
Clarissa: Beautiful!
Cheyenne- NMSAA
Felicity - Pretty
Fiona - I love it!
Gloria - Nice, I think this is a very underrated name.
Hadley - I don't like it, too surnamey for my tastes.
Jacqueline - Very nice!
Josephine / Josephina - Very pretty, I like Josephine best.
Julia - Nice, simple and understated name, though I still think of
it as an "older" person's name somewhat.
Juliana / Julianna - Very beautiful, I think it sounds "younger" than Julia, I like the spelling Juliana best.
Laura - Nice, a real classic.
Larissa - Like Laura, but a little "spicier" imho, I like this a lot, especially with the nn Lara.
Lydia - Gorgeous! This has been a fave of mine for years!
Lillian /Liliana - Both are lovely, but have different qualities, Lillian is sweet and old-fashioned, while Liliana is somehow more fresh and exotic.
Megan - I like this, but I prefer the pr. MEE-gan to MEG-an.
Madeline - Nice, I prefer the spelling Madeleine.
Norah - It's okay, I prefer Nora and as a nn of Eleanora / Leonora.
Raine / Raina - I like this, especially spelt Reina.
Ruby - Very very pretty, I have a real weakness for gemstone names atm!
Sophia Jade - Both names, especially Sophia, are very nice, but they seem somehow "stale" together imho.
Out of these names I think Addie Mae would fit best, imo.
Boy's Names
Ethan - I don't like this at all, it sounds like someone mispronouncing Evan to me, which is a name I love. It's a little soap opera-y for my style.
Samuel - Nice, but there are names I like much better.
Daniel - Love it! I used to hate this until about a year ago and then for some reason I fell in love with it! Strange, no?
Benjamin - I find this a very boring name, although I do like Ben I'd probably use it as a nn for Benedict, not Benjamin. I actually know one Benjamin who goes by "Jamin"! Different to say the least.
Mason - Nah, I'm not into occupational names at all.
Logan - I like this alot, although I wouldn't use it myself, I think it would somehow suit your nephew/niece best!
So, I'd go Addie Mae for a girl and Logan for a boy.
