HelpRe: Which name would you rather have? (Part 1)
in reply to a message by Gaia
Esmée or Renée?
Renée. It'd be pretty normal for someone my age and I like the name. Esmée would never have been given when I was born, it's very 21st centuryish, and anyway I don't like the sm sound enough, and would be annoyed by the ambiguity of whether it's an S or Z sound.
Eve or Eva?
Eve. I like Eve a lot. Eva sounds overblown to me and Hollywoody. And also Eve would seem more appropriate for me (someone of my age and ethnicity)
Olivia or Octavia?
Olivia. I know an Olivia who is about my age and it was a weird, sort of dorky name for us - about like a Mavis today, I am guessing. But it's not as theatrical as Octavia, which is nms.
Soleil or Mireille?
Soleil. It's so hippie, in a way I like. Mireille is a good name for a small terrier, IMO.
Kennedy or Reagan?
Kennedy. Partly because of political associations, and partly because it's namier and doesn't have ambiguity in the pronunciation. I like the name Regan for a girl (pronounced REE-gun), but I wouldn't want it for myself. Too much like "regal"
Maristella or Candelaria?
Candelaria. Maristella is nice, I just like the funkiness of Candelaria better and think it would suit me more.
Brontë or Austen?
Brontë is much cooler as a woman's fn, than Austen. I couldn't care much less than I do, about the authors invoked.
Cheyenne or Dakota?
Cheyenne. Dakota just seems too doggie and Hollywoody and Dodge-truck-y. I mean, it's not bad, but it hits me as a little bit gimmicky.
Lucy or Eleanor?
Eleanor. I can't stand Lucy. Loose-y. An Eleanor at least can be Ellie or Nor(a).
Juliana or Mariana?
Juliana, by a very small margin. I like both.
Lorelei or Leilani?
Leilani. Because who wants to be named after a siren? Ew. Leilani is a lovely name. Although it does not suit me.
Lilo or Zazu?
Lilo. Zazu would be really stupid on me.
Saylor or Scout?
Ugh, these "names" can both go suck eggs. I'd rather be Spike, Spirit, or Silver, than either.
Stella or Lily?
Lily. I don't love it, but it's "nice," and Stella seems sort of abrasive to me.
Adriana or Ariana?
Adriana. I like both, but Adriana is heavier and I think suits me more.
