[Opinions] Re: Calliope?
in reply to a message by AlexandraRose
Ick.
I met a woman in a park once addressing her 4ish year old daughter as Calliope Rose. (This was in Texas) Gah, so flakey-sounding to me. By flakey I mean, the bad side of the hippie stereotype: eccentric, frumpy, flighty, dim, unsophisticated.
There are worse names; I just don't think it's very cool.
I like all these:
Noelle - starting to like this again
Noelani - can't get rid of this!
May - as a mn
Rain - as a mn
Seraphina - a little long but i love it too much
Aurelia - so pretty but I think it's too much to handle even as a mn
But:
Oceane - difficult to pronounce; seems artificial to me.
Briar - is it too ugly for a girl? - Yes, IMO
Moana - Personally I can't see past the "moan" in it. I guess exposure would cure me of that
