Re: Make Me Love or Hate These Names
Benaiah - this name confuses me so much. At first glance it looks like a mishmash of Bible names. Come to find out it’s a Bible name in its own right, just veryyy obscure. Pass.Devin - least favorite spelling of this name but I think more people should use it. It ages well and sounds sophisticated to me.Emmett - Another sophisticated, old money sounding name. Love.Tyson- chicken nuggetsAnnalise- German spelling is better. However it’s the name of Barbie in Princess and the Pauper and gives me the prettiest princess vibes of a girl who is smart and brave.Claribel - claribel cow. Also auto corrects to clarinet.Elysia - instantly reminds me of Elysium, the Greek version of heaven. Lovely.Nairobi - cringe if you’re not Kenyan. Otherwise a regal and stunning name.

I forgot about Barbie Annalise. Makes me like this name more.And your Elysium comment made me like Elysia a bit too.Also absolutely love that all you had to say about Tyson was "chicken nuggets"
The Barbie movie actually spells it Anneliese!
Whoa, how did I not know Anneliese was the name of the Barbie character??
Yes! I’m pregnant with a girl and it is one of the two names I’m trying to decide between, mostly because of Barbie (;
Wow, I just read the summary of the movie, and I totally forgot her cat is named Serafina! This movie is full of great names! I wish I could watch it again!Anneliese is a great name (and I just added it to my list because of this movie, LOL).
