Help[Opinions] Keats
I was responding to another post, and inadvertanly remembered how cute I though Keats was on a girl, or Keaton nn Keats. I still love it so much. WDYT?
Keaton Eustacia nn Keats? or just Keats Eustacia? Or maybe Eustacia Keats, called Keats?
Are there any more traditionally female names you can think of for the name Keats? Edit: At Array's suggestion, I am really liking Katherine nn Keats? WDYT?
This is exciting, since it menas I have five girls names that I would use:
Zephyra nn Zeph
Nesrin
Edda
Winifred nn Fred
Keats
A mix-matched sibset perhaps, but exciting nevertheless.

Eustacia "Keats" is excellent! It seems so Southern, but even MORE Southern than Southern, you know? Very quirky, and like Array said, more counter-culture than all the wee Violets and Emmetts could hope to be.

Huh... hadn't thought of it as Southern, but that's kind of cool. :-)

Interesting. I like the sibset. Thanks!

Katharine nn Keats would strike me as really cool, but I'm much more partial to Kitty as a nickname, personally. :)
Makeda's another option, but that's...trendy. Even if it's historical. :/ Keturah's a stretch, but it could work. Keitha and Keithia, the same.
Keats seems like the best option, since Keaton's much too masculine to my ears; all I hear is Buster Keaton (not a bad thing, but not the image I want when I think of a name for a girl, personally). And I think Keats could grow on me--it sounds like someone I might meet at my all-women liberal arts college. ;)
I don't find your list too mis-matched at all. They all strike me as being nicely out of the mainstream; to me, they've got this image of being actually rather counter-culture-bohemian instead of poseur. You know, the stuff that all those little Scarlets seem to be yearning for. DIY and Buddy Holly glasses without being pretentiously look-at-me! about it.
Array (who is stuck with yearning-for-boho Scarlet Carson, lol)
I want to be be more like a river--
Less like a wall--
Not trying to hold back these feelings at all.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Hmm... never thought of Katharine nn Keats, and I must admit, I like it. Ever since I read through the "daughters named after mothers" post below I have been thinking "hmm... that is cool." One of the reasons I like Kateri as a mn is that it is a derivative of Katherine...
I think for now that's how it is going to work. Katherine MN nn Keats. Nesrin might need a new mn, or not. But it does seem excessive to have two girls combos with Katherine in there... Maybe Nesrin can have Eustacia and Katherine can get something with a bit more flair.
I'm glad my names strike you as actually counter-culture, lol, that is cool. I wouldn't call Scarlet Carson pouser-ish. It's a movie/comic reference, and therefore geek-awesome. Because geeks are awesome. Because I say so (and I am one).

I'm glad you like Katherine nn Keats! I think it has just the right balance of tradition and flair, especially since I see elements of each in both the nn and full name. :) I love Kateri, too, but for Blessed Kateri Tekawitha, since I'm not a Katherine myself, lol.
...Kateri nn Kitty. Hmm. I still like Katharine nn Kitty more, but that's got some snazz to it, I think.
Katherine Eustacia's an impressive, impressive name, but I think Nesrin Eustacia's even lovelier (especially because I wasn't quite digging Nesrin Katherine's repetitive N). Katherine might need something so out-there that the entire thing is set on its ear. Katherine Mafalda. Katherine Opus (but ugh, Opus-the-comic). Katherine Island (I can see it--Keats Island, Private Eye). Katherine Irony. Katherine Sleeping-Dove-Smiles (oh, wait, that's a bit more me, I think). Katherine Firefly.
Yeah, there's something about Scarlet Carson that screams a pair of clunky glasses and a deep red rose on a copy of Naked Lunch to me, but I'm afraid of Scarlet(t)'s burgeoning popularity, heh. It's solely a film reference in this case (though if she had a twin called Violet Carson, I could claim movie/comic, lol), but I'd like to think that that fact (and the double name part) sets off the intensely now aspect of Scarlet(t).
...Why is it that I can write all of this without a thought, but I can't even get a paragraph of the thing I actually need to be doing? *sigh*
