Re: Arbor
in reply to a message by Lapin
It's not tacky exactly, it's just kind of ugly because of the sound ... yet, not ugly in an unfashionable way, right now.
What bugs me the most about it, is that I feel like it's the wrong kind of word for a name. It feels passive-object-y, backgroundy. Like, it's furniture. Pergola, Trellis, Arbor, Gazebo ... not namey enough for me to like.
Names it sorta reminds me of, in terms of being word-names, passive-feminine, and outdoorsy:
Haven
Meadow
Willow
Briar
Harbor
I agree that Arden is a far more appealing name with a slightly similar feeling.
