Replies
Aveline - corny, but carries pretty medieval-rennaisance connotations
Beatrix - boring. Off the boards, Beatrix!
Indira - pretty, but does anyone ever use it or do they just talk about it?
Juno - I wish that dam movie had never come out!
Octavia - Cool. Takes guts. I know a girl whose sister is named Octavia, and whose other sister is Ontario, and who is called Olympia. None of them have any problems with it, except their last name starts with K, so when they go to initial something they write "OK" and it looks kinda dumb
Ottilie - Can't get into it. Why not? Don't know. I think if I met one it would be more effective
Penelope - OK, boring
Petra - Cool. Has grown on me very, very slowly, which I'm glad for. I wish I knew one!
Yara - Kinda cool, a little unstimulating
Yeva - Also kinda cool. Yee is an awkward sound though.
Bennett - OK, boring
Hadrian - Kinda cool. Can seem very new though
Leander - OFF THE GD BOARDS, LEANDER. Ffs. Someone use this name already so we can stop talking about it.
Lorcan - Unbearably corny.
Otto - Pretty cool.
Quaid - I'd loooove to see this used. Wasn't some philosopher named this?
Titus - hah I know a Titus! It's kind of cool in real life.
Wilburn - if you use it now it'll be fashionable in... 25 years and then he'll have a fashionable name for a long time.
Beatrix - boring. Off the boards, Beatrix!
Indira - pretty, but does anyone ever use it or do they just talk about it?
