in reply to a message by Evey
Orianna Rae - Orianna is so forced - so self-consciously pretty and princessy and frilly that it becomes trite and annoying. Rae is such an 'empty' name. It's nothingness.
Leilani Anastacia and Milena Lucia [siblings Tiana Marie, Lyric Marquez and Carter Antonio] - Strange sibset! Leilani and Milena don't go together at all - and none of the other names do either.
Madeline Elizabeth - Pretty.
Ivory Nichelle [siblings Nhari and Aicha] - Nhari is kind of interesting? Ivory Nichelle is pretty terrible, though.
Parker Gregory - could be a boy's name. Gregory. Seriously?
Caroline - Simple, timeless and nice. Safe, but so much prettier and nicer than Parker Gregory.
Erysia Lilith [siblings Taliesin Rei and Arkady Brian] - Taliesin and Arkady are cool. Don't go together, though.
Aspen May - Aspen always makes me think of greenflies, for some reason.
Coraline 'Cora' Ruth - I don't like Ruth, but this is nice all the same.
Mary Katherine - Classic.
Finleigh Bridget - Finleigh?!
Tessalin Bell [siblings Trinity and Lola] - Tessalin sounds like it should be an adjective. Or, the Tessalin Bell sounds like a famous bell or something. Odd.
Boys
Felix Christopher [sister Annabelle Mary] - Shame I hate Christopher, because this would be a nice sibset.
Elijah Jacob - Jah followed by Ja... doesn't sound great.
Hudson Thomas [brother William Worth] - for some reason William Worth amuses me.
Douglas - I've never met a Douglas who likes his name, or doesn't wish his parents chose something else. I've never even met friends/siblings of a Douglas who likes the name.
Isaac Stephen - nice.
Hunter Renly [brother Jacob Taylor] - 'hunt renally'...? Ouch. 'We hunted the kidney stone renally'.
Dominic James - Fine.
Zahmir Anthony [siblings Desiree, Omar and Ja'Miyah] - Ja'Miyah is horrific.
Zaire Marco - Interesting.
Walker Henry [brothers Sawyer and Jasper] - I like Henry and Jasper
Dante Alexander - Sounds like a video game character. Dashing all the same.
Multiples
Adeline Grace, Eloise Mae & Olivia Jane - Not my taste, but nice enough.
Leon and Idris - Idris is rather cool
Ella Ryan and Averie Alexandra - blerk.
Adam Peter and Scott John - Again, I wouldn't use, but I can't complain.
I struggled to say something about a lot of them, and of those I did have opinions on, a lot of it wasn't very nice. There's a handful of nice names, but the rest just aren't my style at all.
