Re: Do you have a name that has elements you like, but the name itself doesn't interest you?
I'm picky with -ine names because some of them sound more nasal than others. I like: Josephine, Seraphine, Marceline, Angeline, and Pauline but not Georgine, Claudine, Albertine, Maureen, Colleen, Doreen, or Corrine.I like Anna and Maria, but not Annamaria. Somehow it feels too long. I like Marianna better. Same with Annasophia (too "long") and Sophianna ("wrong" order). Cassie, but not Cassiana.I like Taylor and Saylor, but not so much Kaylor and Baylor.I like Angel, Angelle, Angela, Angelina, Angeline, (unrelated etymology but) Evangeline, and Evangelina, but not Angelica.I like -ry sometimes: Ellery, Mallory, Avery, and Valerie, but not Hillary.I like most -ny/-nie/-ney names: Courtney, Ellany, Tiffany, Trinity, and Harmony but not so much Melanie, Brittany or Whitney.I like some names with "ace": Ace, Trace, Case, Mace, Jace, Macy, Jacie, Casey, Tracy, and Stacy but not Pacey, Lacey or Brace.I like some -dy/-die names: Kennedy, Cassidy and Melody, but not Elodie.Speaking of "el" names: I like Elias, Eliza, Elsa, Eli, Elijah, Elliott, Ellison, Ella, Ellie, Elaine, Elaina, Ellery, but not Ellamy, Ellis, Elia, Elihu, Elsie, Elton, Elvis, Elvin, Elmer, Elmo, Elsabeth, Ellen, Elisabeth or Elizabeth.Some "em" names: I like Ember, Emily, Emilia, Emmett, Emerald, Emma, and Emmeline but not Emerson, Emry, Emery, Embry or Emil.https://youtube.com/@MarioDrama632 or

I don't like Baylor either. It sounds like a dog name.
Thank you.
