[Opinions] Re: Australian television actors {part three}
My thoughts:I like Lucia.
Adam and Sean is a solid sibset. I like both names, and they have a subtle four-letter connection... even if it wasn't intended.
Charlie is cute. Charles nn Charlie is a name... Charlie on its own is twee.
Madeleine is pretty.
Francesca is pretty too.
Oscar Maximilian is dashing. Why the double l?
Zadia is kind of cool in a trendy way.
Sunday Rose is cornball central.
Clementine is lovely. Coco is not.
Why George Samuel and Samuel Robert? I mean, I really love Samuel, it's a lovely name... but no matter how much I love it, I'd never use it twice in a sibset. Blargh.
Matilda Rose is pretty, but I'm getting tired of Matilda (and I like Matilda) and Rose as a mn is tired.
Woo! Jasper! I'm scared this name is becoming trendy but I love that it's getting some use.
Madigan is nms, but is interesting.
Aurelius?! Wow.
Ondine is ...hmmm... I just think of Ondine's curse. I don't want to name any theoretical daughter of mine after a nasty form of sleep apnea or its sad mythological namesake. I have a nurse friend (one of a few) who works in a ward which has a few long-term, quite often young, in-patients who suffer from CCHS (Ondine's curse). It's nasty. Here's a wiki link --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ondine%27s_curse. It's one of the few things which upset her when she started working there, and she doesn't get shaken up easily, and really I think it still gets to her. So yeah, the myths around the name tend to be sad and the condition named after it can be very sad. Hence why I just can't shake the association around Ondine.
