Re: Australian names...
in reply to a message by Amphelise
I love Alira and I had no idea it was Australian! (ETA: I've never met one in the US so I thought it was rare, apparently I was very wrong lol)
I haven't heard of Araluen before but I like it.
The only Bindi I've heard of is Bindi Sue Irwin so I just think of her. I also didn't know this was a legit Australian name, I only knew it as a red dot on your forehead.
Biralee sounds namey but is it basically just a word and not traditionally a name until the 70's?
I like Jarrah.
Kirilee / Kirrily / Kiralee -- Kiralee just looks like Kira + lee so I don't really like it. Kirilee and Kirrily are more interesting. I guess I like them but I'm more drawn to the versions that don't have "lee" because it looks like a trend. I love Kira but didn't know it means leaf!
I like Kirra but prefer Kira.
Melba just makes me think Melba Toast.
Narelle sounds dated but okay.
I like Nerida. And I like that it has to do with water while looking kind of like Nereid.
I like Raewyn, it looks a lot like the kind of name I would have liked in high school and it's like Raylynn without the bad parts.
Seaforth is cool, it's definitely surnamey but I'd like it as a middle name.
Don't like: Dimity, Karri, Kylie, Melba, Tarnie / Tarnee / Tahnee
