[Opinions] Re: Birth Announcements....
in reply to a message by Rebekah
Girls
Akealiyah Shenita - Eh? ah-kee-lee-a? ah-keel-ya? She'll be 10 before she'll actually manage to spell her name correctly (plus teachers, peers. Most common phrase used: 'No, actually it's pronounced...'
Ava Grace - lovely
McKinley Elizabeth - yucky trendy Mc- name, poor girl, and she'll end up as Kinley. And Elizabeth, as much as I love it, the ultimate feminiser.
Ainsley Elizabeth - Ainsley I see as a boys' name (only seen it on boys), ditto Elizabeth above.
Kalen Frances - Why is something as lovely as Frances next to nasty Kalen
Alaila Rain - Alia? Quite a tongue twister.
Maelyn Joelle - Maelyn - too trendy sounds stuck together.
Khaila Marjorie - same comment as for Kalen Frances, Marjorie is lovely, shouldn't be paired with Khaila.
Malae Nake - no redeaming features
Ava Elizabeth & Lora Elise - nice names but Lora Elise runs together
Daytona Jean - Isn't this a beach or something? My first though was 'daytonator', this kid won't have to look far for a superhero name.
Paisley Beth - trendy Paisley
Amari Brionne - don't like
LaChelle Michlia - *shudder* Though mix the names together and you do get a decent enough name - Michelle Laila or Laila Michelle.
Scarlette Lux - get rid of the 'e' and it's not bad.
Boys
DeBron Jacob - yucky
Cohen Joseph - didn't someone on here say that Cohen is offensive to Jews or something of the sort.
Kalib Ardale - Caleb?
Simon Bell - I'm sure I've known some with the fn/sn Simon Bell
Traivus Amin - dislike
Davion Johann - dislike
Parrish Weston - Parish? A drunken Paris?
Jace Nathaniel - pah
Adolph Raymond - Oooh, daring but silly, Adolph isn't a bad name but I wouldn't use it, not with a namesake like Adolf Hitler, it's just asking for trouble.
Keir Juel - like Keir
Branson Matthew - ok, not bad compared to the rest
Finn Patrick - ditto above
D'Naren Earnest - dislike
Mason Alden - not bad, at least it's a boy
Avery Adam - ok
Behr Philip - Teddy bear.
Jourdan Connor - Jordan would be better
Kaaeden James - why the extra 'a'? It now looks like kah-e-den
Tah'J Corelli - not good
Karsen Matthew - Carson would be better
Kai Christopher - nice
