[Opinions] Re: My Girls Short List from High School - plus Misc. Others found
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Lavinia Allison - Allison doesn't work at all with Lavinia, but Alice would. I'd also want to make it Alice Lavinia.
Evangeline Violet - Violet Evangeline would be better; Evangeline is long for a first name and for some reason when it's Evangeline Violet it feels like too many V's, but Violet Evangeline sounds fine.
Victoria Grace - Good, but probably very popular.
Cynthia Judith - Cynthia is such a boomer name! So is Judith but I like Judith anyway. Way too many hissy sounds in this combo though.
Amoria Rue - It's nice, I like Rue as a middle name. Amoria Rue sounds very "fictional character". I'd almost prefer Amaria Rue even though I like the "mor" sound.
Patricia Lanay "Pattie" - Not my thing, and I'd prefer Patty or Patti over Pattie.
Analisa Marie "Lisa" - This is good although middle name Marie is so overdone even non-namenerds joke about it. I'd also prefer Annalisa.
Chrysanthemum Grace "Chris-Ann" - Chrysanthemum is such a GP, this would be the way to do it though (put it with a one-syllable, common, manageable middle name). I think the nickname is too contrived. Chrysan makes more sense as a spelling, or even Chrysanne. But in reality someone called Chrysanthemum is likely to become Chrys, Chris, Chrysi, Chrissy, or maybe Anthy / Anthie.
Ariel Faith - These names don't go together for me but they don't really clash either. This combo seems like it would be fairly popular.
Paulina Faith - This works a lot better! I like this one, I wouldn't use either name but it's a good combo.
Elisabeth Cate - It's good and I like the look, these spellings give the combo a very soft and vintage look, but it would be annoying to have this name. "Elisabeth Cate". "Elizabeth Kate?" "No, Elisabeth with an S and Cate with a C." I know people don't usually use their middle names that way, but I can still imagine situations where you'd have to explain that neither your first name OR your middle name is spelled the way people expect.
Jewel Renee - Sounds better than it looks. I do like Jewel.
Gracelynn Marie Kate - This is like four common filler middle names put together into one combo.
Tyler-Anne - Nope, totally opposite names.
Lilica Jane - I like this
Lara Grace - Good
Chloe Noelle - No, two "oe"s in a row is too much
Sonia Noelle - Not quite. I like Sonia though. Sonia Grace would work.
Heather Gwen - Feels very Gen X but I kinda like it.
Hillary Blair - Nope nope nope
Edward John - Okay, feels like a very proper name. He's either a proper kind of person or he uses a nickname and everyone is surprised when they find out his full name.
August Mark - I would have expected Mark August for some reason but I like it this way too.
Vincent Luke - I like this although I think Luc fits better with Vincent.
Job Joshua Elliot "Jobey" - I only like Elliot here. Jobey sounds like a dog
Soren Josiah - Alright, I think I'd prefer Josiah Elliot and Soren August (or Soren Isaiah to keep the "--ah" thing)
Leslie Michelle - Nah. Leslie would be Michelle's mom.
Gwenevere Einin - I like this but I've never heard of Einin
Superhero Siblings Audrick, Quilla and Rembrano - definitely sound like characters. If they're always listed in that order I don't like the double K sound between Audrick and Quilla.
And I like these names from the computer game characters (I included the ones I like for dogs and cats):
Cassandra
Cedric
Jules
Amina and Amira (but not as actual twins!)
Emerson
Anthea
Cleona
Ashling
Koa
Adeline
Hermia
Verna
Asela
Merona
Apollo
Cormack
Hugo
Scarlett
Carmelo
Orion
Rigel
Fawna
Snowdrop
Shadow
Whisper
Arion
Sorrell
Sabine
Johanna
Stone
Edana
Keena
Seraphine
