HelpI'm exactly the opposite, lol.
in reply to a message by stillbreathingxx
I have a HUGE boys name list, but my girls list is pitiful in comparison. I guess I'm just pickier with girl names. And here's a warning: I like boys names ranging from something your great-grandfather could have been named (Ellory) to tryndee stuff (Riley), so feel free to pick through and discard those you despise. :o) Names w/neither mn after them go equally well with both Arthur & Raymond. Since I LOVE nns, possible nns are in ().

Wow, you are a saint!
Thanks a ton, that's an amazing list.
Amos - Hm, reminds me a little too much of 'almost'.
Beryl (Berry) - Haha, that's the name of the town we live in.
Cedric Arthur (Ced, Ric) - Name of a person I very much don't like. =/ Family fued type thing, haha.
Courtney Raymond (Cort) - It's nice in theory, but I'd feel bad considering it's become a girl's name.
Corin / Corbin (Cory, Orin) - Too close to a girl's name on my list (Corinne)
Cornelius (Cornell, Con, Conor, Neil, Lee) - A little too much for me.
Craig Arthur - It's not bad. Doesn't really jump out on me.
Curtis (Curt) - Ditto to this one.
Dashiell Raymond (Dash, Ash) - NMS.
Eben Arthur (Ebbie, Ben) - Sounds to me like someone who can't say Evan.
Ellis - Hm. Undecided.
Ellory / Ellery Arthur - Reminds me of Mallory.
Emmett / Emet - I like this. Prefer the first spelling, but I like it.
Emery / Emory Arthur - Like it a little less than Emmett, but it's still pretty nice.
Everett (Ever, Rett) - Like.

LOL, see my halo? O :-)
Zeke - Ezekiel (obviously) Artaxerxes, Issachar (yes, it's a stretch), Meshach (ditto), Zacchaeus
Kai - Zedekiah, Zachariah, Micaiah, Malachi, Caiaphas, Kenaniah
Tadhg is prn TYG like the 1st syllable in tiger. You're right, though, you'd have to explain spelling & prn constantly.

Ooh, shiny!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. =)
I really like Micaiah! The comments on the name kind of threw me off a bit (read them... ick! McKyah?!), but I still really like it.
Ah, on another forum someone claimed it was pronounced Tag. I prefer that prn., but I still think it'd be too much hassle for the poor kid.
