HelpRe: Top Ten
in reply to a message by Array
Evening, nn Evie -- Very cute. Original, without being obvious about it. A real winner.
Valerie -- For almost nine months this was to be my name. Then, on the way to the hospital, My father decides, "There's nothing French about us. If it's a girl, we'll name her after you." Grand timing, my dear old Dad has. I've often wondered what it would be like to have been named Valerie. I can't picture it. I do like it for someone else's child. I met one once and it warmed my heart. It always reminds me of "jewelery." I'm not sure if it is the "-erie" ending, or the fact that sapphires, emeralds and rubies just should all be named Valerie, you know? This is a sentimental favorite for me. Do it for my Mom, OK?
Maude -- How surprising to find this on a top ten list. Very "mod" of you. Just because I love seeing old fashioned names brought back to life, I have to give this one the special mention award. Love it.
Lenore -- Another great name. Wow. It's going to be hard to pick just one to use at a time. Nn Lenny is cute.
Thursday -- This one seems too obviously quirky. Too-everone-else-picks-Wednesday-after-The-Addams-Family-when-they-want-to-be-unique-so-I'll-pick-Thursday. After getting to know you (sort of) here at BtN I know you're much more creative and original than this. You may have other reasons for choosing this name. I'm just being honest in how I would react to it if I were introduced to a little Thursday. Sorry.
Hanorah -- Reminds me of Hannukah and a menorah.
Pandora -- Have you seen the Louise Brooks silent movie of same name? Very avant-garde. Very chic name. Love it.
Katharine, nn Kitty -- Yes, yes, yes. Yes.
Scarlet Carson -- I haven't seen V for Vendetta, but I read your earlier thread. Sorry, I'm just not a Scarlet fan. Carson McCullers (sp?) makes me warm slightly to Carson, but even then it feels too masculine. How about Flannery?
Morpheus, nn Morph -- Not an easy name to carry off, but I trust you to raise a little hellion, so thumbs up.
Edmond, nn Eddy -- So romantic. I love Edmund too, but that has a more statemanlike quality to it, not so romantic. Funny the difference a vowel can make. I like the nn Eddy, also Ned.
Lazarus, nn Laz -- This one does nothing for me, sorry.
Ignatius, nn Iggy -- Love, love, love it!
Horatio, nn Ray -- Love, love, love Horatio!
Gregor -- A very mysterious and intriguing name. Love it.
Neil -- Sorry. Neil / Neal has never appealed to me that much. But I'm all for lost classics being recycled so thumbs up.
Walter -- How cute would it be to meet a little Walt? It makes me wonder what Walt Disney looked like as a lad. Too cute. Then again, there's the image of Sir Walter Raleigh covering the mud for Elizabeth I dancing in the back of my mind. Swashbuckling fun.
Jerome -- An underappreciated classic. Love the nn Jem.
Alphonse -- I drove past St. Alphonsus church this weekend and thought what a great name. Love Alphonse too.

Post under ONE NAME ONLY please, Logan / Morgan / Kenny / Mark Peters / Jeff Holden
It is STRICTLY AGAINST THE RULES to post under more than one name. This means that you must use the same name in the 'Name' box every time you post.
Please choose ONE name and let me know what it is going to be ASAP. You may not use Morgan as it is already taken.
You must read the rules (see the Help/Rules/FAQ link at the top of the board) before making any more posts on this site.
