Re: Birth Announcements - What do you think?
in reply to a message by Lissa Hannah
I've just copied the list, starred the ones I really like a lot (more stars = like better), and commented on the ones I don't like .. the rest are 'okay' with me.
This seems like a really conservative, often-unfashionable set of names; I'm guessing this list is from an affluent, mostly white, fairly 'hip' area.
GIRLS:
Amy
Alberta*
Anne
Erin*
Rebecca
Tara
Michelle
Nancy
Hilary
Judith**
Joy
Regina
Phyllis
Rowan - on a woman, this is ugly, to me.
Debbie
Gail
Helen
Denise
Keeley
BOYS:
Jack
William
Justin*
James
John
Bruce*
Keipher - respelling isn't unpleasant, but it's silly
Frank
Joe
Jim
Lenny
Mo - huh?
Jed
Kit
Terry
Matt
Stephen (I like Steven or Stephan / Stefan .. this spelling is ambiguous prn-wise)
Louis
Boyd - too surnamey for me.
Michael
Spencer
Wayne
Robert
Matthew
Rupert
David
Kevin
Tom
Oliver
Tim
