HelpRe: Australian names...
in reply to a message by Amphelise
To give you an idea of the popularity of these names in Australia, I've known:
Many Allira / Alira / Allirah / Allyra / Allyrahs none of which have ever been spelled the same way
One Bindi (apart from Bindi Irwin)
One Jarrah
At least 3 Kyrili / Kirralei / Kirrilys that I can think of
More Kirras than I could ever be bothered to count
Heaps of Kylies
At least 2 Narelles
2 Neridas
And a handful of Tahnees
*
My opinions:
Alira / Allira / Allirra - I don't necessarily dislike it but I'm not a big fan. It's kind of common and doesn't stand out in the sea of A names for girls
Araluen - I've never heard of this one before but it's not bad
Bindi - Obviously very connected with Bindi Irwin but I like it
Biralee / Birralee - Has a very Aboriginal sound to it, not a big fan of it as a name
Dimity - Makes me think lf the children's book "Dimity Duck"
Jarrah - I love Jarrah. I had a rabbit with this name when I was a kid, sometimes I toy with the idea of using Jarrah in my boy combos
Karri - Don't like the sound
Kirilee / Kirrily / Kiralee - I have always liked Kirrily but I dislike Kirra which it is ALWAYS shortened to
Kirra - I don't like the abruptness of Kirra, too common as well
Kylie - Sounds dated to the 80s-00s
Melba - I've never heard this used in Australia, it's okay I guess
Narelle - Don't really get the appeal of Narelle
Nerida - Dislike the sound
Raewyn - Never heard of it, not a fan
Seaforth - A bit much
Tarnie / Tarnee / Tahnee - Don't mind Tahnee, it has a pretty sound
