Velma: 4/10
It’s got charm but it’s still kind of retro-ugly, and still closely associated with Scooby Doo. It is kind of cool, though. I think I prefer Selma.

Kirsten: 3/10
I don’t think it has a good sound, and I find Kristen so much prettier!

---

Iris: 10/10
Lovely. It’s soft but carries a subtle air of strength and class.

---

Lorena: 8/10
I’m actually a long time admirer of this name, I think it’s strong and mature, but not in a matronly way. Loretta is nice too.

---

Winona: 7/10
Cool name! It makes me think of Winona Ryder. I don’t like Winnie, though.

---

Rory: 2/10
I really dislike it on a girl, it’s a lot more bearable on a boy, but even then it feels awkward and infantile.

---

Bess: 1/10
I find it awful.

---

Bryce: 1/10
I think Bryce is kind of dated now a days? I don’t know, I never liked it, it’s odd.

---

Wolf: 2/10
Weird, I’ve never warmed up to male animal trend-names like Wolf, Bear & Fox.

---

Keaton: 2/10
Kind of country bumpkin, and it conjures the image of someone kind of dumb and douche-y.

---

Marlowe: 2/10
Really dislike it on a boy, but really like it on a girl.

---

Benedict: 4/10
Benjamin is better, if you have to Ben- at all. It’s just bland and lacks personality.

---

Roswell: 2/10
Seems like a surname? And not one that transfers well to first name usage, at that.

Axel: 4/10
I had a neighbor named Axel that I liked, but it just screams trying to hard for whatever reason for me.
