Re: Alternate/Random Top 20
in reply to a message by Ismene
Melanie - a favorite of mine
Margot - also on my own long list
Liana - looks boring on paper but it's actually fabulous
Celeste - I'm not into the repeated S sounds, but I think it's a strong name, sort of the way Dominique is strong
Cyrus - I like it. It's a little goofy, in a good way. Too bad about Miley.
Dominic - cool name.
Theron - is nifty. Not really my style but likeable.
Merrick - personal favorite.
Rafe - has a scruffy masculine appeal - it's on my long list too.
Smallish signals on my radar lately:
Priscilla
Stephanie
Diamond
Devon
Forest
Tom (for Thomas)
Raoul
Zeno
Margot - also on my own long list
Liana - looks boring on paper but it's actually fabulous
Celeste - I'm not into the repeated S sounds, but I think it's a strong name, sort of the way Dominique is strong

That's exactly how I feel about Liana. It sort of blends in with a lot of other popular names, but is actually very elegant and naturey
I considered putting Dominique on the list, but I can actually see myself using it so opted for something else. Though, I could realisticly see myself using Margot and Melanie so they probably shouldn't be on the list either :)
The Miley association is what puts me off of Cyrus also.
Priscilla - I really like though it's almost a too lacy
Stephanie - hate
Diamond - hate
Devon - love. I go back and forth in whether I prefer it spelled Devon or Devin, more.
Forest - I sort of like it but only because it's the name of the street I live on. Other than that I really don't like the "for" sound
Thomas - I like Thomas in full, but only a little. I don't really like Tom or Tommy... they're all either too young or old sounding
Raoul - never gave it much thought before. I think I like it
Zeno - I like it but it makes me think of that acne-fighting device, the "Zeno hotspot"

I love Diamond. In my uni cafeteria there was this really beautiful clerk whose nametag said Diamond. I wanted to write songs to her.
I love Tom for Thomas too. Well, actually, I dunno. It can fall sort of flat on a lame person. But on an awesome person, what a perfect name!
Zeno's cool. I have a character named Scotland Parker Zeno. I assembled his name from the bottom of some SSA list. He's a reporter and goes by Scot Zeno. Pretty lame!
