HelpRe: Josephine? (and some others)
in reply to a message by Array
I like Josephine. It has such cute nickname potential, like Josie and the especially darling, Posey.
Fern is beautiful. I like it because it's so nature-y yet so classical. My favourite combo involving Fern is Rhiannon Fern.
Karana is something that could grow on me.
Laura is a bit blah. I would like it as a middle name so much more than a first name.
Lottie is precious, however I'd only use it as a nickname for Charlotte. Interestingly enough, I know a three year-old girl named Charlottie (char-LOT-ee).
Nymphadora Tonks isn't my favourite character in the Harry Potter series. (That status belongs to her Aunt Bellatrix, lol.) But independently of my feelings about the character, I'm not crazy about Nymphadora. I'm kind of intrigued by Adora, though.
Thursday reminds me of the old rhyme:
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny, blithe, good and gay.
Not a good connotation for me, but I admit to finding some day names curiously appealing.
As for Almanzo, I think of Almanzo Wilder from the Little House books. Good association, but I'm not wild about the name.
Dicken... from 'Secret Garden', right? The character was adorable, but Dicken can be made to sound like something perverse if the name was picked apart in just the right way. :(
Gilbert is cute, but my attention-craving cat is named Gilbert and so I might be biased against using the name (especially when he wakes me up at two in the morning just to play, lol). :)
Jonas is an ok name. Definitely not popular or commonplace, so it's appealing.
Nathaniel is a great name. I'd certainly consider this name for a future son, though I think I'd be more apt to use it as a middle name.
Ramo is a name that I just can't like. It reminds me too much of Ramen noodles and Rambo.
