Re: Top 10 Favourite Combos Survey
1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?There are so many name origins represented that it sounds rather like you're trying to be hip and worldly. If the names have special meaning to you, then that's cool, but all together, these look trying-too-hard to me. I do like the fact that you have Søren on your list--it makes the Norwegian in me warm and fuzzy. :)2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?I love the fact that you like Pandora, which is such a beautiful, hopeful name. I also really like that there are several literary names on your list--Wendy, Lenore, Sawyer, Rainier--whether that was purposeful or not. :) I don't see anything I absolutely loathe.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?I think I'd take Alice Rosalind (deliciously literature-minded) and Vasil Cyprian (Cyprian's the name of a character who's quite near and dear to my heart).4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?I would be narrow-minded and make the majority of your names stay from one language; while I'm ardently against making sibling names "match," having a bunch of names of odd origins really does feel pseudo-hipster to me. However, I dislike the idea of changing people's naming styles, so disregard it. ;)5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?Scott makes me yawn. Lyra's getting kind of irritatingly ubiquitous on name boards.6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)I think you're very much the world-beat namer. You've got everything from Anasztazia to Saoirse on the table.7. What name advice yould you give me?Make sure you enjoy the names you pick, and have fun with it. :) 8. Any other comments? Just that seeing Rainier makes me squee. I love Rainier Maria (the poet and the band both), and seeing Rainier on someone's list makes me smile.Array
