[Opinions] Re: Top US Climber 2021 (Girls)
in reply to a message by Glitzy Cate
Most of them are too nicknamey or just YIKES but a few thoughts ---
Daphne - is definitely influenced by Bridgerton. It's one of those names I never thought I liked but the more I heard it on the show, the more charming it was to me
Wren - not for me but at least its a classic name not made up or too trendy. Gives me fond memories of Even Stevens show :-)
Lainey - WHY do this as a full name-should be a nickname not a full name
Stevie - love Stevie nicks but please no
Noa/Noah - because of Miley Cyrus' sister, I'm guessing? Much prefer on a boy but I get the appeal for a girl for those that like the "tomboy" "spunky" style girl names
Analia - all I see is "anal". YIKES
Anya - classic name, surprised it actually isn't more popular
Margo - Marlo, Margo, Arlo names are all on the rise and seem interrelated to me - lots of influencers children seem to be named these
Fallon - has always been a guilty pleasure name of mine, didn't really think about it in relation to Jimmy Fallon before like a few people have mentioned -- it was mentioned on Gilmore Girls once and I thought it sounded like a "cool girl" name at the time lol
Hadlee - hate the spelling but sweet name if it ends in -ley
Giana - not the same spelling but maybe because Kobe's daughter???? Pretty name but awkward reason for it to rise....
Ila/Iyla - I will never understand creative spellings. please people STOP. If you want to name her Isla name her Isla giving a different spelling doesn't make it different or you creative.
Flora/Opal - I don't like Opal or Flora but I dig some of the "grandma names" so I get what they are trying to do here in trying for something more off the beaten path than say Mable or Olive which has come back in full force
Alora - reminds me when I was learning Italian and this is kind of a filler word like "then" (its double L in italian but same sound) - so definitely not a name to me
Daphne - is definitely influenced by Bridgerton. It's one of those names I never thought I liked but the more I heard it on the show, the more charming it was to me
Wren - not for me but at least its a classic name not made up or too trendy. Gives me fond memories of Even Stevens show :-)
