[Opinions] What do you think of these names?
Replies
I love Shasta and Sasha!
I've now added all of these to my name lists. Thanks :)
Shasta / Chesney / Charlaine - not familiar with these, but I like them. Shasta is my favourite of the three
Sidonie - pretty, this is what I would choose any day over Sydney for girls. I find it more beautiful.
Casilda - pretty, "Cas" or "Casi" would be a cute nickname
Sasha - I like it for both girls and boys. Not bad at all.

Sidonie is ok, don't like most of the others, although Charlaine is interesting
Shasta - I prefer Daisy.
Chesney - never seen it, and I hope my luck holds.
Charlaine - not a successful mash-up. Charline or Charlene would be fine.
Sidonie - unlikely to attract the French pronunciation; people could easily assume it was an elaboration of Sidney.
Casilda - wasn't she the female lead in one of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas? Maybe The Gondoliers? It's a lovely show and actually quite a stylish name, though not to my taste.
Sasha - much less boring than all the other nns for Alexander/Alexandra, but it's strictly male to me because of Sasha Distel.

I had a Polish friend in school called Charlaine (this spelling). Another was called Ola and I'm frustrated to find out I've forgotten the name of the third girl. Can't say I like the name myself, I mean its okay just not my style
Chesney and Shasta I don't like
I generally don't like or not keen on names too similar to my own name (Charlotte aka Lotty aka Shaz to some people, chosen by them generally. I briefly chose to go by Lotty, but while I do count this as my preferred nickname, I generally don't unless I need to. Shaz / Shazza / Shazzo is more of a comedic name used by a particular person in my past). Not sure why other than I might find it obnoxious for myself somehow?
So, Charlaine and Shasta really do fall into that category, I struggle to be objective.
I like Casilda and Sasha
Sidonie I've never come across before, but I kinda like it
