[Opinions] Re: Wyatt, Owen, Beau, Levi & Jesse
in reply to a message by Justina
They all go really well together. I agree with Gingersnap that they sound like outlaws or cowboys. Individually, I like some of them. Wyatt is horrific - sounds like a toddler saying riot - and Beau is just trying way too hard. Levi is tired, and the jeans are prevalent. Jesse is okay, if boring. Jessie for a girl is slightly more interesting, but only if it isn't a nickname. Owen is great and the best out of all of them.

Maybe you can help me understand why Beau is trying too hard? It's a funny comment for a one-syllable name! I was thinking of the actor Beau Bridges. For Levi, the only person I can think of with the name is chess personality Levy Rozman, slightly different spelling, and he pronounces it LEH-vee, but I do prefer LEE-vie.

I think maybe because of its meaning. And the Frenchness of it. I just see American parents thinking they're chic for using French, cool for using something that means "handsome", and winning because obviously their child will be the most beautiful child of them all. Levi, I've met a ton of in elementary school. Them, not me. Ha. I do like the sound of Levi, LEE-vie, but again, just too much.
