Re: Top 10 for September
My name taste is just different enough that people always skip commenting on my lists during these things.
Your lists looks like it's suffering the same fate and we just can't have that.
1) Sylvie -ADORE. ADORE.
2) Avielle -Pretty, sounds like a fantasy character though.
3) Xanthe -loved this for a long time because it can be both very soft and very strong at once. More names like that.
4) Aerin -meh, nms
5) Sonnet -Okay, I've loved this for years. It's so charming.
6) Élodie -Elodie Yung is making me feel like this could be used on a real person and be cool. It used to seem too storybook for me, but it's growing on me.
7) Emmélise -yes, lovely
8) Geneva -meh. I like some place names, but not this one. I like Neva alone though which I guess is a place name too, but whatever.
9) Adélise -Okay, I'm not familiar with this, but it's kind of awesome.
10) Delphine -My snobbish high school friend who got too cool for me and is now working my same professional and is still too cool for me ten years later. So ruined by personal association, I guess. (Actually her name is Victoria Madeleine Delphine Surname and she doesn't let anyone forget it.)1) Oscar -Mixed feelings. Because it's cute, but I also think of Oscar the Grouch.
2) August -lovely and ages well, I think.
3) Fergus -nms. I don't know why I think of moss on stones when I see/hear this name, but I do.
4) Griffin -Also ruined by association. Just a trashy guy I know.
5) Arthur -Jeez. I feel like your list is getting put down for bad reasons. Worked with a guy named this and he worked out a lot and then would grab me and hold me even though I would ask him not to (I think I even asked what to do about it on the boards here) and he was super possessive of me even though we were never even close to being a couple or ugh. Let's just say it's eternally ruined, but probably a nice name if not for that. It seems like if not for that, it would go into a category with names like Murray and Cyril and I like those so... *shrug*
6) Grover -muppet. sorry.
7) Aurelian -lovely, lovely, and regal
8) Felix -adore it. It's both playful and snappy at once.
9) Emerson -kind of neutral, but I think I would like to meet one.
10) Deacon -too churchy for me personally
