Help[Opinions] Re: Times Birth Announcements
in reply to a message by Caroline
There are some that caught my eye ...
Ambrose Ludovic George - Well, Ambrose is cool and Ambrose George would have sounded good. Ludovic is taking it a step too far ... He now sounds like a ponce.
Beatrice Cecilia - Both cool names, but the "S" sounds run together. Cecilia Beatrice would be far nicer.
Darius Alexander - Darius is one of few "us" names I don't mind. In fact it's dashing. I can take or leave Alexander, it's nothing special.
Finnian John Lennox - Nice ... Shame they bothered with John, though. It adds nothing to the name.
Humphrey Richard Alexander - It's *very* surprising to see Humphrey on a newborn, though with brother Wilfrid, it must be their style. I went to school with a guy whose surname was Humpherson, and he suffered relentless "humping" jokes. Needless to say, nms. And I loathe Richard. Boring, boring.
Iona Katherine Grace - Gorgeous, though I'd have gone with Katherine *or* Grace as the mn. Together, they're a bit blah.
Layla Elly-May - Layla is pretty, but verging on trendy, thanks to Lily / Lila / Lola. Elly-May is sickly cute, and not a good formal name at all. The combo also has too many L's.
Rosanna Marie-Louise - A combined first name with hyphened middle names ... It's just too cluttered. Rosanna is lovely though.
Zaylie Annabelle Mozella - I like! I've only come across Zaylie once in a naming book. Mozella does sound like mozzarella, but there must be a reason for it...
And also some incredibly snooty ones. Sebastian and Maximilian in the same sibset? *Shudder*
So generic and forgettable, the parents needn't have bothered with a name at all:
Andrew Michael
Emily Elizabeth
William George
Harry John Charles
Joseph Harry
