HelpRe: top 15 names!
in reply to a message by 25vbrandeberry
Axel: Never cared for and I hate to be caught shouting for one in a public area such as a playground, because it sounds a little too close for comfort to a certain cuss word. It's also a name of a car part, which makes it's usage even more silly. It might work in Scandinavian countries, but in English-dominated ones, it doesn't.
Caspian: Don't care for and that's mainly because I think it sounds kinda pretentious. Or, at least on the verge of it. Also I once saw online where someone had said that it sounded like "cats peeing" and now I can't unhear it. /; The one good aspect of it, is the diminutive of 'Cas' which I quite enjoy.
Boston: No, just no. This a name of a major city and not a very nice one at that. I mean sure, they're might be some decent, quality areas in the Massachusetts capital area, but the rough parts and it's host of problems are still there. Not exactly something I would want to be associated with. Also the use of the name practically screams that the parents were trying way too hard to seem modern and cool. When in reality, it's not.
Ellis: Pretty good. Not something I would use myself but I appreciate the classic, vintage feel that it has. Delicate yet charming as well.
Milo: Cute yet practical. Again, not something I would ever use myself (at least not for any actual kids) but something I can always admire whenever I do hear it.
Nelson: Feels very dated and although it brings to mind the former Political activist leader, Nelson Mandela, it also brings to mind the character of "Nelson Muntz" from The Simpsons and his well-known catchphrase of "Ha-ha!"
Atticus: Neutral towards, but I know I would probably enjoy it more if it wasn't for the unavoidable "kiss" sound at the end, reminding me of attics and of a certain novel that had popularized the name.
Daxton: Another trendy and juvenile name that's nothing more than a passing fad. It conjures up certain images about the parents; young, naive, dim-minded, maybe even high-schools drop outs. Etc etc.
Ottilie: Neutral, but I would probably like it more if my first discovery and encounter with it
hadn't been so negative.
Viola: Really like! Especially when pronounced as "vie-O-la" which is what I prefer. Either way though, it's a very beautiful, classic name.
Emersyn: Horrible doesn't even cut it. It's a butchered spelling of traditional masculine name and that's all it will ever be. That and immature.
It doesn't take away the history and it's traditional unsage. All it does it make the parents look like giant imbeciles, especially with the spelling.
Paxton: See Daxton above
Lennon: Not a favorite of mine but not the absolute worse either. It's tolerable on a boy but ridiculous on a girl, made worse by the potential nickname of Lenny.
Camilla & Jasmine: Classic and beautiful. Nothing I'd use myself or would ever refer to as favorites, but can still appreciate nonetheless.
