Help[Opinions] Re: Be a doll, and rate these names. (m)
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
Iris: beautiful. It's a subtle, purplish blue, vaguely kaleidoscopic.
Lorena: a collection of unexciting, unexceptional sounds.
Bess: good Queen Bess. More refreshing than Beth or Betsy, but still the kind of name that would fit a dairy maid and the cow she's milking equally well.
Rory: masculine. I can't imagine it on a girl unless it's a nickname for Aurora, which I dislike.
Winona: Ryder. A one-person name.
Velma: also a one-person name. Distinctly unfashionable.
Kirsten: so grating and lacklustre, asking to be confused with Kristen.
Benedict: I like it a lot, it's far more attractive than Benjamin.
Marlowe: one of the few names I like equally on boys and girls.
Axel: I wish it hadn't acquired this wannabe rockstar vibe.
Keaton: Buster. Forgettable trendy surname name like Kellan.
Roswell: so smarmy. Probably a brother to Cosmo.
Bryce: at least it doesn't remind me as much of brown rice as the Brice spelling does?
Wolf: tolerable if it's a nickname for Wolfgang and pronounced with a v sound. Perennialy childish otherwise.

I can think of 3 famous Winonas off the top of my head, although one is spelled differently. I don't feel like it's that tied to Ryder.
That said, I do feel like it's a little awkward; it seems as basic as Sonny or Dakota.
