Re: top 15 names!
in reply to a message by 25vbrandeberry
Axel: Part of a car, cliched Scandinavian hunk.
Caspian: The kind of thing a kid obsessed with CS Lewis would think was good to name a person but would think better of it as an adult.
Boston: Dog name to me.
Ellis: It sounds old-mannish and stuffy.
Milo: Another pet name. Also somehow sounds sinister and sneaky.
Nelson: This is nice.
Atticus: Everybody knows right away where it came from; without that book nobody would use it.
Daxton: Random trendy sounds stuck together. Pretending to be a surname name but isn't even a surname.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girls:
Ottilie: Oddly. Ottoman. Doesn't sound like a real person.
Viola: Hillbilly circa 1930.
Emersyn: Bland, pasty-white, personality-free but thinks an awful lot of itself just because somebody threw a y into it thinking it would spice it up, which it doesn't.
Paxton: Daxton's lame sister.
Lennon: As stupid as people naming their kids Jagger and Bowie and Ziggy.
Camilla: This is pretty though I like Camila and Camille better.Jasmine: Always liked it.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
