Help[Opinions] Re: Make me love or hate these: day 4
in reply to a message by Ani
Noa: No, uh ... I know I really don't like it. I know a Noah and it's a guy. Actually it's like six of them. Noa dmittance to your name list.
Nicola: I like this. I say it like NIK-uh-la, not like the lozenges which are nik-O-la. Nicky to friends, maybe. It's excellent. As excellent as Nicholas. Might be dated in UK, but not here. Btw I dislike Nikola for boys who'll speak English as their first language
Selene: it's a nifty name, but reminds me of salami, and selenium, and I feel like the 3 syllable prn is too cute (the eeny sound), and also it's sort of bombastic like, HEY - Goddesss Ov The MOOON. I would like Celina or Selena more.
Bellamy: it seems like potentially the sexfree Brittany of the 2020s or 30s. I think I can manage to not hate it even though nms and I suspect that's where it might go. It's alright. Keep. I don't have a gender preference.
Xander: Alexander was kind of overdone and this nick is feeling y2K to me. I like it fine, though, and it seems a bit trendy so maybe keep. I personally prefer it spelled with a Z. Maybe even Zandr because, like, the name Xander is quirky - one already tries-hard to nickname him something that's more special and oddball than Alex. So, live a little.
