HelpRe: What do you think of these names?
in reply to a message by peregrine
Darya - it's nice, much better than Daria.
Acer - I don't like it. It looks like an incomplete word.
Scilla - I wouldn't know how to pronounce that. As someone said before, it looks like the name of a disease.
Shura - it's ok. It's like adding an -a to the word 'sure'.
Eiran - I like it for a fictional fantasy character. I'm not sure whether it would work on a real child, but I love the sound.
Eleni - I love it, it's very pretty. I prefer Elena, though.
Pearl - I don't like. It feels old and dated.
Celeste - it's alright. Not my favourite.
Harri - I don't like it as a full name. It looks like Harry misspelled. It would be ok as a nickname for Harriet or similar names.
Madeline - it's fine but too long for my taste.
Marilyn - I really like the name, but it's one of those that will always be tied to one famous bearer so I'm not sure it's usable anymore.
Astra - it's fine. I like the space association.
Muse - it's one of those names that in my opinion enforces something on a child, just like Messiah, Pricess or Legend. The sound is nice, though.
Shelby - not my taste. I don't like the sh- sound at the start.
Elle - I like it better than Ella. It looks more elegant and simple.
Alva - I don't like it at all. First, it reminds me of Thomas Alva Edison, which isn't necessarily a bad association but I just don't like associations with names in general. Second, since Alba is such a common name where I live, Alva just looks like a misspelling of that.
