HelpRe: Top 10 Favourite Combos Survey
in reply to a message by Mar
1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
Like: short, neat, high-impact femme firstnames. Good judgment of compromise between modern-appropriateness and rarity. International but in an unobtrusive way, not ostentatiously "foreign"
Dislike: male names that seem unreal (overall)
2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?
Love: nice use of rhythm and subtle alliteration in combos, fun to say them aloud
loathe: nothing really
3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?
Carmen Ravenna
Rune Stellan .. maybe Romeo Prospero or Dante Constantine, as a GP
4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?
remove surname firstnames like Bowen, Thorsten: too stiff and pretentious. remove archaic seeming male names (Boaz, Jochem).
5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?
Sadie, Noa, Liv, Connor, Kyler, Lyric
6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)
idiosyncratic; taste-based. Unusual names chosen for sound and impact. Modern influence on basically classic tastes.
7. What name advice yould you give me?
Careful with sounds. Lacey Mercedes is too much.
8. Any other comments?
Very stylish!

wow
You have a very nice way of putting things. I even had to grab my dictionary for some words :D
You're very right about some of your comments, I like it when names flow, especially girls names, I love saying them too. (when i was typing Lacey Mercedes, I was thinking: this would be a cruel name for a kid with a lisp...)
btw Jochem is not seen as archaic here, it's actually quite common too. I didn't know Thorsten was really a last name.
I really like reading your comment! Thanks!
