Help[Games] Re: Haven't done this in a while: Bash my names!
in reply to a message by Cambria
Girls:
Jeanna Celeste - Pronunciation of Jeanna isn't clear. Jeanne would be much classier.
Emmaline Aria, Emmie - Emmaline/Emmie are overwhelmingly trendy. Emmaline = Emma or Emily + Madeline. It won't seem nearly as original in 3 years. Aria is corny.
Keturah Lydian, Ketta - Keturah sounds like Couture, which makes it sound a bit trashy. Lydian is an unnecessary elaboration (with the trendy -n ending) of Lydia. Flow is off.
Priscilla Jessamine, Rilla - Queen of the night? Jessamine is one of those flower names that is just picked up as a name because it sounds similar to popular names (Jessica, Jesse, etc).
Constance Ines, Connie - Connie is maybe my least favorite name. Ines is bound to be pronounced EYE-nez, which isn't too nice sounding. ee-NESS is better.
Verity Belrose, Vera - Verity? Very overdone. Sounds like a character in a melodramatic novel. Belrose is contrived, too.
Boys:
Josiah Malcolm, Joe - Honestly nothing to bash here.
Eben Vaughan, Ben - Eben will be confused with Evan. Eben & Vaughan don't really match, style-wise.
Judah Wallace, Jude - Nothing to bash, again.
Isaiah Westley, Isley (EYEZ-lee) - Westley is such a made-up surnamey trendy thing! It doesn't match Isaiah at all, in class or history. The nickname Isley just makes you seem like a big Isley brothers fan.
Harold Bertalan, Hal - Harold is bound for a life of teasing. Not ready for its comeback yet. Hal--Halitosis? And Bertalan is too made up.
Ezra Leroy - Nothing to bash, love it.
