HelpRe: 11 children
in reply to a message by ari.
The original set:
Josiah - handsome, melodic, good alternative to Joseph
Pearl - bit too literal but pretty
Elijah - yawn
Noami [sic] - actually prefer this to Naomi but not with Noah in the same set
Noah - good but so damn overused that it does nothing to me anymore
Anna - sweet and simple, like it
Chloe - not a fan of the English pronunciation with the "wee" at the end
Enoch - never liked it, reminds me of 'eunuch'
Melody - nice sound but a bit too cutesy
Moses - too tied to the Bible for me
Neta - pretty and unexpected, like it
Your set:
Julian - handsome and classic, like it
Pandora - want to like it but still don't; reminds me of 'panda'
Edmund - solid name but the sound is NMS
Nimue - I had no idea how to pronounce it correctly until now; it's NMS
Nathaniel - an old-favorite of mine; like the sound but it's just too trendy-popular for me
Augusta - a bit too robust; like the NN Gussie but prefer August even for a girl
Cecily - like it a lot, it's fun to say out loud and sounds friendlier than Cecilia
Emrys - prefer it to Ambrose but like Emerson better
Morwenna - intriguing; a right type of person would wear it off
Magnus - a lovely Scandinavian name, sounds strong and elegant at the same time; my favorite from your list
Nerissa - see Pandora. I want to like it but it just looks like a feminization of Nero. I doesn't remind me of sea nymphs the way Nereida does. I prefer Nereida.
I would pick:
John
Petra
Ezra
Nargis
Nestor
Atlanta
Celeste
Emil
Marceline
Mithra
Nephele
