Re: Names I overheard at the zoo
in reply to a message by peregrine
Becca - Alright, a little boring, more of a millenial name IMO
Sadie - Cute, vintage, but sounds more like an animal to me (maybe just because I've met dogs named Sadie but not humans)
Rohan - Love it
Zach - Boring, possibly dated for an under 10?
Rowan (b) and Logan - I like Rowan, hate Logan
Enzo - Cool
Celeste - Very pretty
Helena - Also pretty and strong
Theo and Milo - I like these, especially Theo. They sound very trendy together.
Yusuf - Cool
James - Classic
Molly and Mimi - Overly cutesy but as long as they're nicknames it's fine (or at least as long as Mimi is a nickname)
Riley (b) - Boring
Murphy - Ugly for a first name
Millie - Sort of cute, retro, but also... mealy
Billie (g) - Definitely also retro, I could see it being cute-ish, but I really hope it's a nickname
Lara - Pretty, doesn't stand out
Éowyn - Love it, I hope she can pull it off
Joseph - Average, kind of surprised he goes by "Joseph" and not Joe, Joey, Jojo, etc.
Oliver - Good name, timeless
Maria - Also good and timeless
Jersey-Rain - Nope. I like Rain though
Jason - Dumb jock from the 90's
Else - Nice!
Miles - Nah
Leo - Good
Jae Jae and Melati - Jae Jae is fine as a nickname (but why not just JJ?). Melati could grow on me but it looks like a word.
Phoebe, Zia, Sasha, Honor, Arthur and George - Don't like these all together but Arthur & George make sense together, and Phoebe and Zia are cute together. Honor is kind of a GP. My impression of Sasha depends on the gender. Girl Sasha would go with Phoebe and Zia. Boy Sasha is closer to the style of Arthur and George but not quite.
