[Opinions] Re: Names for a Girl
in reply to a message by CJ
Alyssa: I love this name. It goes well with your last name and reasonably well as a sister to Emily.
Amelia: This is far too similar to Emily to be a sister.
Holly: I really like Holly, but Holly Perry sounds too much like Holly Berry.
Kaitlyn: I like this too, but the Katy Perry similarity is too strong.
Lydia: Hate this name.
Melissa: I like this too and it's a little more distinctive than Alyssa because Melissa is not currently as stylish as Alyssa.
Odette: Really ugly and doesn't fit the rest of your style at all.
Olivia: Emily and Olivia. What a predictable pair of sisters. I don't like Olivia anyway.
Raven: Feels very dated to the nineties and is also considered by some to be a "Black" name.
Sabrina: This is very pretty and works well.
Serena: This too, but I like Sabrina a little more.
Sophie: Even duller and more predictable than Emily and Olivia is Olivia and Sophie. Plus, Sophie is such a prissy little pout of a name.
Vanessa: I like this a lot. It's very glamorous, and it sounds good with your last name. However, it does seem to overshadow plain Emily.
Xena: Same objection as with Vanessa, but I don't like Xena because X names don't appeal to me.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
