I hate Justice -- it's painfully on the nose (and not even aurally pleasing).

---

I love Sonnet because I love poetry and the sound of the word.

---

I also really like Lark, though I prefer (and would more likely use) Larkspur. Larkin is adorable for a boy.

---

ETA: I recently used the combo Sonnet Eugenia in a name game. Isn't that gorgeous?

Would Lark be a short form or nickname of Larspur?

There is a wonderful snippet from Handel's "Semele" entitled "Ah me", preceding a famous aria entitled "The Morning Lark". I generally despise arias - but love the more musical forums which precede them - as in this case.

---

O Jove! In pity teach me which to choose,
Incline me to comply, or help me to refuse!
Teach me which to choose,
Or help me to refuse!

The morning lark to mine accords his note,
And tunes to my distress his warbling throat.
Each setting and each rising sun I mourn,
Wailing alike his absence and return.

I've long wanted a black Scottie again - I've had lots of Scotties and I feel the need of another one. And I'd name her Sonnet without hesitation, because of being a Dark Lady. Definitely not for human use, though!

There's a very good TV journalist here who does political interviews etc; his name is Justice and it really suits him. I can't see it as a female name at all.

Lark doesn't work for me. Larking about comes to mind, rather than cheerful little brown birds.

I really like Sonnet, it sounds romantic. I'd prefer it on a boy.
I think Lark is okay, it sounds mostly male to me.
Justice isn't my cup of tea. When I see this name, I can't help pronouncing it in my head like the French would do (jus-TEES). I think it's rather ugly.

I like Lark and Sonnet for girls. I’ve found they can really add some magic to a combo. Justice I’m not a fan of for anyone. I don’t particularly like the sound and it feels too big and important almost, which is weird because I like Bravery and would happily use it.

I've never come across Justice as a name. It's too superheroic for me. "I am Justice! Rar."

---

The only Lark I've ever known was male. It suited him, and was short for Larkin, which was a family name. As a stand-alone name, I think less of birds and more of larking about and having a lark, so it doesn't work for me.

Sonnet is pass-the-sickbag stuff. Bleurgh.

I think Justice is unisex. It's a little ... eccentric seeming. But not a bad name. Namey.
I like Lark. For girls only. I'd use it, if there weren't so many names I like more.
I agree with you about Sonnet. And it'd be worse on a boy than on a girl imo.

Sonnet and Lark are guilty pleasures (both for girls) but I'd never use them. Justice doesn't do much for me, especially after meeting a girl named Justice whose last name was one letter away from League.

I love Lark for a girl; justice for either (if not for all - sorry). If Sonnet is for one gender how about Sonata for another? This does not imply that I would use the word as a name - or that I would not.

None of them appeal to me at all; especially not Sonnet and Lark, which sound so "look at what a poetic soul I am! Look at me! LOOK AT ME, DAMMIT!"
Justice is not as bad, and I think it can go on either sex. Not saying it should, but it can. It's a bit pretentious too, since it's also a title. Not as bad as Doctor or Princess, but still a drawback.

Hi!!!!

---

In my opinion their gender is...

---

Justice - girl
Lark - girl
Sonnet - boy

---

Justice is the pretentious one imo.
Sonnet is only a word, too strange as a name.

---

Lark is lovely instead.
I like its meaning and simple sound.

---

What about Lyric? Male or female iyo?
