Re: Top 10 Favourite Combos Survey
in reply to a message by Julia
1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?I like the fact that no matter what you name your children, they'll have solid names to rely on in life. I dislike the fact that a lot of these come off as whiny and pwetty-pwetty-pwincess.2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?I absolutely love Matilda, especially with the nn Tilly. It's my cousin's name, and the title character in one of my favourite books. :) I really hate William and Anna. They make me want to kick puppies.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?I'd hijack Marina Charlotte (which brings me immediately back to Armageddon Summer--if you haven't read it, I suggest you pick it up :) and Nathaniel James. But I'd call him Nat, which you wouldn't like. :D4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?I would make you look into names that aren't so popular. These are tried-and-true names, but you're young, with many years ahead to fall in line. 5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?Sofia, Gabrielle, Anna, Olivia, Anneliese, Grace, Natalia, Nicholas, Samuel, Jacob, William.6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)Classic with the occasional unusual influence, mainly from the Hebrew and Spanish languages.7. What name advice yould you give me?Branch out, and really consider names before rejecting them--you might like them better than you think. I'd tell you to stick to your guns, but you have no trouble doing that.8. Any other comments?Nope. Array


A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.You might even provide a Heaven for them. We need You for that. Hell we can make for ourselves.

Thanks, that was helpful!I've been trying to branch out. Naomi and Matilda are some names that I had put my fingers to the keyboard to say that I hated them...but realized that I actually liked them a lot. I've been trying really hard to do that more.Thanks again!
