Re: Pearl
in reply to a message by Jae
I have only heard of this name being used as a name, first Grace Pearl Ingalls (Laura's sister) and secondly a cat, playing Julianne Moore's cat in a movie... So no, I don't know any young people with this name. I do like it though, even though I'd probably never use it. I think it's pretty!
From your list I like:
Emerald - another name I like is Sapphire
Constance - think it's very classy
Vera - I love this name, it's so pretty, I don't like Veronica though. I know a girl called Vera, she's about 10 years old now I guess.
Maeve - I think this name is very cool
Verity - very beautiful
Evangeline - also very beautiful
Regina - strong, I like it
Ramona - sounds very nice
Daphne - my nr. 1 name atm! I know a Daphne who is 13.
Leona - like the meaning. Lions are my favorite animals!
Lavinia - very pretty
Leonora / Lenora - classic, yes, Leonore (pron. lay-oh-NOH-ruh in Dutch) is my mother's middle name
Lucia - nice, but I can't picture it on a child
Luciana - same here
and for the boys:
Quentin - like this name a lot, but can't picture it on an old person, it doesn't seem old-fashioned to me either.
Lawrence / Laurence - same here.
Edwin - this is an oldfashioned name but I like it
Edmund - same here
Leander - nice, but it sounds very Shakespearan, it reminds me of the name Lysander
Leon - like this name a lot, but I know 3 young people with this name, so I don't think it's very oldfashioned.
