[Opinions] Re: Names from a comments section
in reply to a message by peregrine
I like:
William, Alexander, James, Theia, Evander, Diana, Kiera, Poppy, Emilia, Juniper, Raphael, Owen, Philippe, Phoebe, Layla, Michael
Easy to spell, or at least not hard to spell if you're familiar with the name:
Noah, William, Eric, Belle, Michael, Brady, Jacob, Paige, Cassidy, Maxwell, Chris, Zuko, Arabella, Mavis, Alexander, Savannah, Josephine, Giovanni, Aizen, Phoebe, James, Evander, Diana, Indica, Lincoln, Poppy, Sophia, Olivia, Emilia, Juniper, Atlas, Owen,
Not hard but easy to confuse:
Layla (Leila, Leyla), Emmie (Emmy), Kiera (Kira, Keira), Theia (Thea), Sofiya (confusing with Sofia and Sophia), Giuliana (Juliana), Raphael (Rafael), Alexi (Alexei), Chloé (Chloe), Philippe (Filip, Felipe)
Actually hard to spell:
Ebeneser
Timeliness:
Noah, Belle - classic but feel trendy right now
Juniper - I love it but I think it's going through a trend now
Josephine, Giuliana, Giovanni, Maxwell, Arabella, Phoebe, Philippe, Theia, Evander, Sofiya, Poppy, Chloé, Emilia, Raphael, Owen - seem fairly timeless to me
Eric, Diana - sound a bit older but not in a bad way
Mavis - grandma
Ebeneser, Zuko, Aizen, Atlas - too "character"
Paige, Brady, Cassidy - already dated
Waylon - sounds dumb now and will still sound dumb in 15 years
William, Michael, Jacob, Chris, James, Alexander, Sophia, Olivia - truly timeless and common
Savannah, Layla, Kiera - maybe a bit dated but not much
Indica - sounds fine but don't name your kid after weed
Lincoln - not very namey
Emmie - just nicknamey
Alexi - depends on the gender. On a girl it's a bit trendy/dated
So these are the ones I like that I think are the most timeless and easy to spell:
William, Alexander, James, Evander, Owen, Emilia, Diana (maybe)
note-- I don't really know if Giuliana and Giovanni are dated or not, they're not really used where I live so I just went with my impression
