Re: Misfit names
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
Marlowe (m) - I suppose you could argue that it fits in with a lot of my literary names, but it's also a trendy surname with an O-ending, which I don't usually go for (you won't catch me sparing a kind word for Harlow, which is only a sound away!)
Same goes for Arden (f).
Wren and Lennox (both f) are two more modern sounding surname names (well - only kind of for Wren) that I really like.
I like Poppy, even though it's cutesy and twee - not my usual style at all! I can't stand Daisy, for example.

I also have a soft spot for Arden (on both genders), and I'm not really into surnames-as-names, but there's something interesting about it.
