Help[Opinions] Re: Top Ten for September
in reply to a message by Ismene
Freya Beverly - I love, love Freya. Beverly is interesting - a bit of a genre switch, but the name looks nice in print.
Eve Michelangela - Showstopper! I normally would've never considered such a long and gorgeous name as Michelangela in the middle name slot, but it makes sense when paired with a simple name like Eve.
Gwen Elsabeth - Gwen is cute, but Elsabeth (to me) looks like it's missing an 'i'.
Rose Elowen - Pretty! Elowen is an on-and-off favorite of mine.
Jane-Emily Robyn - I don't think Robyn is necessary here, as it is (to me) in a different genre than Jane and Emily. Jane Emily is not quite as "boring" as Emily Jane might be, but just as elegant.
Annabeth Constance - Not too crazy about "combination" names (Annabeth, Marianne, Rosemary, etc.), but Constance is lovely.
Mare Fiona - I can't get behind Mare as a name, if it's pronounced like "mair" - to me, it's a female horse. However, if it's Mah-ruh, then that's much better. I still think Máire / Moira Fiona, or Maura Fiona, would be better.
Sylvie Ursula - I would prefer Ursula Sylvie, but this is still lovely.
Egret Susannah - Neither name is my style.
Allegra Mercy - Reminds me of the mercy I perceive when my allergy medication kicks in.
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude with that comment, but it's true. If you still love Allegra, despite the allergy association, then I don't suggest an English vocabulary word as the middle name.
Abram Leander - Distinguished.
Quentin Janvier - Very French. I like it!
Cassius Hale - Neither name is my style.
Kestrel Anson - I view Kestrel as a feminine name, so this is odd for me.
Mars Andrew - Don't like planet names generally, and I've never been a big fan of Andrew (though it's mostly because of the nickname Andy), so this isn't my style at all.
Tracy Benjamin - Tracy is one of those "truly unisex" names for me, so I'm not sure how I feel towards it in any capacity - if that makes any sense.
Ren Dashiell - This is such a cowboy name. Depending on what you think of cowboys, this can be a good or bad thing.
Whitney Devereux - Nice! Though I prefer Whitney on females, the combo itself strikes me as a successful man in Victorian England.
Edan Campbell - I misread that as Eden Campbell at first, and then I thought it would be an awesome full name for a heroine. Not sure I like Edan Campbell as a male name, though.
Monroe Philippe - Interesting... I like it. Never would've thought if it, but I like it!
Eve Michelangela - Showstopper! I normally would've never considered such a long and gorgeous name as Michelangela in the middle name slot, but it makes sense when paired with a simple name like Eve.
Gwen Elsabeth - Gwen is cute, but Elsabeth (to me) looks like it's missing an 'i'.
