[Opinions] Re: recent birth announcements
in reply to a message by Jae
Dylun's bad, you say? It kind of looks like they were unaware that Dylan's a Welsh name, but tried to Welshify it anyway by spelling it with a U a la Alun. But I can think of worse spellings: Dillun, Dillyn, Dillin, Dillen, Dyllen, Dyllyn, Dyllon, Dyllun, Dyllin, Dilun, Dilan, Dilen, Dilin, Dilon, etc. ad nauseum.
Anyway, I like:
Melvin - So-so on this, but the sheer datedness of this name gets points from me
Forrest
Justice
Antonia
Alma
Murphy - Only like this for a boy
Layla
Marjorie
Ramona
Corin - Only like this for a boy
Karsten
Nellie - Prefer as a nn today. If for a 19th-century character, howevre, I don't mind Nellie as a full given name
Katarina
Jules - As a full given name, I only like this for a boy. But it's fine as a nn for Julia / Julie / Juliet / Juliana for a girl
Jolie Adelaida - I like both names, but together they have no flow. I prefer the more familiar Adelaide, but Adelaida's interesting too
Henrik
Phoebe
Janice - Love this, especially the datedness
Bruce - Ditto
Greta
Violet
Remi - Prefer Rémy. Only like this for a boy
Ernest
Pablo
I would also like these, if they were spelled correctly:
Giselle / Gisèle (Jazelle)
Tracey (Trayce) - Prefer for a boy
Cyrus (Syrus)
Xiomar (Xyomar) - See Xiomara in the database
Gianluca (Gianlucca)
Dylan (Dylun)
Miranda
