Help[Games] Re: Another You Say You Think
in reply to a message by Jenni
This is my daughter: Celah Wren Lux we call her "Cece" sometimes
You Say: Hi, Celah.
You Think: Where did Celah come from? Celia would be fine, but not Celah. Wren is nice, but it doesn't really flow with Lux, it's too abrupt, and Lux sounds a little harsh next to Wren; Wren sounds so soft. Cece is too cutesy for me (and it makes me think of CiCi's Pizza), but at least it's just a nn.
This is my son: Kyan Xavier Cale we call him "Kai" sometimes
You Say: Hello, Kai.
You Think: Kyan? *blink* Uhmm...Well, Xavier Cale is pretty nice (if it's ZAY-vee-er). Ryan Cale wouldn't be bad either, and I do like Kai as a name, though I wouldn't pair it with Xavier or Cale...Maybe Kyle, though--Kyle Xavier Cale is nice.
This is my daughter: Tallon Ione Sage we call her "Tali" sometimes
You Say: Hi, Tali.
You Think: Sage is nice, Ione is okay, and I don't like Tallon. It looks like talon, which isn't a nice association to me--it's like naming the child "claw." Besides, the name and nn don't fit in my mind; I'd pronounce Tallon like talon (TA-lun) and I'd read Tali as TAH-lee--the vowels are slightly different. Talia or Thalia (as TAHL-ee-ah) would be pretty names for the nn Tali, and Talia Sage or Talia Ione Sage would be nice (I like Talia Sage better).
This is my son: Teague Aleixo Stone we call him "Taz" sometimes
You Say: Hi, Taz.
You Think: I wouldn't usually like Taz as a nn, but I'm not sure how to pronounce Teague correctly, or Aleixo, either. Stone is easier to pronounce, but bland as a name.
This is my daughter: Soleil Indigo Skye we call her "Sis" sometimes
You Say: Hi, Soleil. What a pretty name!
You Think: What a pretty name! ;) The addition of Indigo Skye is a little too much of a sky theme for me, but it's not bad at all. Soleil Indigo by itself wouldn't sound so themey--even something like Soleil India Skye breaks up the wordyness and sounds nice (Indigo Skye just sounds like a phrase to me, rather than a name). Why call her "Sis," though, when she has such a pretty name? Besides, she's your daughter, isn't she? ;p
This is my son: Dane Saxon Toal we call him "Dane" all the time
You Say: Hi, Dane.
You Think: I've never heard of Toal before, but it looks nice (I'm not entirely sure of the pronunciation, TO-ul or TOL?). Dane and Saxon together sounds like a bit of culture clash--honoring both Danish and Saxon heritage? ;) Dane is nice on it's own, and Saxon is okay, though I don't care for it, but together it's more amusing than anything else.
This is my daughter: Elodie Willow Tru we call her "Ellie" sometimes.
You Say: Hello, Elodie.
You Think: What a pretty fn! Elodie is lovely, and so is Willow; the flow could be better, but it's quite pretty. I just wish they'd left off the Tru at the end. I don't care for it as a name, and I dislike that spelling especially--it just looks incomplete. It's just kind of tacked on the end here without adding anything to the combo.
