HelpRe: Northern CA Birth Announcements
in reply to a message by Jae
Lots of interesting ones here! The US has a much wider pool of names than we do in Scotland. Sometimes that's a bad thing, obviously (Naveigh?!) but how lovely to see the likes of Delia, Aspen and Serafina.
Anyway, these are the ones that most caught my eye:
Lavender: This feels old-ladyish to me, not because the name is dated, but because I associate the smell of lavender with grannies' living rooms.
Charisma Audrina: Together, these are too much, but Charisma is cool (as long as she's not shy ...) I'd prefer just Audra, but Audrina is interesting.
Calissa: I love this. I'm sure it's in one of my name books, defined as a form of Calista influenced by "issa" names. A good stepping stone for Callie too, which is one of very few nicknames I like.
Daniella Christina: Again, I love the names, but they're too much together.
Autumn Rose: Autumn is cool, you never see that here. But the addition of Rose has rather spoilt it; it sounds like a phrase now, and therefore sounds tacky.
Quinn Riley Helen: Ick, ick and ick again! Quinn sounds manly and trendy; Riley sounds manly and trendy; Helen essentially starts with "hell".
Serafina Elizabeth: I'd prefer Seraphina, but it's great. Shame about Elizabeth. Yawn yawn yawn and it doesn't even flow.
Stella Lucille: Nice names but this combo has too many L's.
Miles Kennedy: I hope Kennedy is a family name cos then this combo is great. If it's another arbitrary surname, that's a pity. Miles is a good name - I'm amazed to see two of 'em in this list.
Enoch - There's a somewhat scummy shopping centre in Glasgow called the St Enoch Centre, which is all I can think of. It also reminds me of "eggnog" which is weird :-s
Edwin Daniel - Interesting to see Edwin these days. I have a fondness for "win" names, especially Oswin and Godwin (laugh if you will, lol). Daniel is alright. Sure they could've thought up something more inspired.
Wright - Not feeling this as a first name whatsoever. It doesn't have a personal ring to it at all. Same goes for Fletcher and Porter, also listed. I can handle Price.
