HelpRe: Top 10 Favourite Combos Survey
in reply to a message by Array
1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
Like: tons of character; nothing predictable here. Seem truly independent. Jay.
Dislike: sometimes, too characterish, not enough possibility (for a real person, that is. Can't really be too characterish if that's what you are going for)
2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?
Love: you give life to names that could seem unremarkable.
Loathe: sometimes the nicks are unnatural. Christian - Cricket: gag me? It could happen, but I like it better if it at least seems spontaneous
3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?
Gilda Rae and Jay Clarence
4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?
Get rid of ones that to me seem hopelessly stodgy / oldmannish (George, Lemuel, Bertram); refuse to indulge you on the confusing - and I think unattractive - spelling of Juleann; dump Christian (sounds weak in real life to me, especially in this combo)
5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?
Riley, Eva, Teresa, Christian
6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)
nonconformist/character names; early/mid 20c image but rare enough that they're not strongly "dated;" streaked with classic and Bible. Refreshingly, they tend to be race neutral as well.
7. What name advice yould you give me?
Just the thing about picking nicks.
8. Any other comments?
I really like many of the nicks, in fact. And Jackie isn't so bad. I guess the guilt is about the popularity. Ella Rae sounds like LRA.
