I like Clarissa very much, actually, even if it's not in my top 10 anymore. Jace, or possibly Jaycee, however, is.

Neil is completely ok, but not something I would consider.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

I feel the same with clarissa and neil the same too. Jace i like as Jay-s.-it would be one syllable- i wouldnt say it as a plural form of jay, so not jays, but jay-s, s sound like the s in sell.I don't know how else to show how id say it. Im not a fan of Jaycee though.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Clarissa Grace- Absolutely beautiful. So yes I like the name Clarissa :-)
Gracie- Eh, not so much.
Tess/Tessa* - Tessa is okay.
Tessa Lynn*- Sounds like tessalate. I don't like Lynn too much.
Danica - Ugly
Danica Grace- Ugly.
Tegan- Too masculine
Tallula/Tallulah- Tallulah. It's a bit over the top but I don't mind it.
Tallulah Tegan- I don't really like T's and this is too much.

Jace Aiden*- Jace Is too much like a nickname for Jason. I prefer just Ace to be honest. But Ace Aiden doesn't sound good.
or Jace David*- Hate the name David.
David James- Isn't that the name of someone famous?
Eric- hate
Aiden- hate, popular & trendy.
Aaron- blah, 80's.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

Its odd because I've never known any Male Tegans.
David I like, but it's also my BF's name and him and his father are both Davids and we did the same in my family with my brother and father. So I liked continuing the handing down a name.
Aiden is also odd because everyone says its to popular, but I never had an Aiden in school with me nor do I know any now, or have met any random people with it. so i like it a lot.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean Tegan was used by lots of males, I just meant it wasn't feminine sounding enough for me. I like very very obvious girly names like Anabelle, Felicity, & yes Clarissa :-)
You won't know many Aiden's because it's only recently become popular.
There are loads of little Aiden/Aidan's under 5 running around.
& everything else that rhymes with it...
Caden, Braden, Jaden, Zaden, Haden.. & all the other alternative spellings that go along with those. It's the trend of this decade for boys names.

You prefer Tessa as a nickname? Aaaah! No! I'm a Tessa, and I can assure you it is primarily JUST Tessa. Not short for anything. Growing up, every now and then I'd get somebody asking me "Is Tessa short for Vanessa?" (Or Contessa, or some other random name). Um... no. No. Just like Anne could, in theory, be short for Maryanne or something doesn't mean it's not a perfectly legit name on its own.

Not saying you're wrong for feeling this way, of course, but your comment brought back odd memories. Hee.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

Yeah thats odd. Tessa doesnt seem like a nickname t me at all. the Tess/Tessa thing just meant that I'd go with eaither one for a name. but yeah. I dont't think of it as a nickname either

[mandy-23.livejournal.com]

I don't really like Clarissa but only because it reminds me of Clarissa Explains it All and this crazy girl I knew. I dated her brother for a month and she was still calling me to hang out a year afterwards...but thats another story.

I love the name Neil. I have a friend who spells it Neal. I like the a better but either way it's a great name.

I like the name Tessa but I hate the nickname Tess. Again, another name ruined by someone being crazy.

Tegan is one of my favorite girl names and more so now because of Tegan and Sara. :) The fiance hates it though.

David is my brothers name so I'm partial to it. Personally I think it's a great name. :) I like Jace Aiden as well. I think Eric Aiden sounds nice but like someone said, aden names are really big on children now a days.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

Haha yeah, someone said claire in another post and I thought of Clarissa and that show came right to mind do XD

Neil is the name of my grandfather and uncle. I've never actually seen it as Neal but I like that too.

I've been set on Tessa or tess since 7th grade. And I was fortunate enough to have a bf who is totally into the name too.

Yay for someone else liking Tegan for a girl! everyone else keeps saying ITS MASCULINE!! But I've never associated it with a male counterpart.

David is the bf's name and I love it just as a name too. Jace Aiden is the favorite but I think the boyfriend wasnt too keen on it and both him and his dad are David and I think he might want to keep David so thats why I went with Jace David as a combo. :)

I wont be having kids for atlest another 5 yrs maybe 6 or 7. Me and the bf have our schooling and plans and what not. So Ill guess I'll have to check and see how popular names are then XD

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Can somebody explain to me the name Tallulah? Was there a character on some TV show named Tallulah, did some celebrity name their kid this? Because suddenly everyone seems to want to name their daughter Tallulah. Personally, I think it's a horrible name. What's the deal?

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

I think Bruce will has a daughter named tallulah or soemthing. maybe it wasnt him. cant remember. But thats not why I have a liking for it. I just like the way it sounds. however its quite low on the list and probably wont ever be one of the names Id actually give to my child.

[fullofgrace40.livejournal.com]

There was a Tallulah Bankhead who was a very popular actress in the early 20's/30's.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

I LOVE LUCY CAMEO! Rock!

[fullofgrace40.livejournal.com]

That's funny that you mentioned that because I am a super huge I Love Lucy fan that that episode with Tallulah is one of my favorites.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

That is my one worry for when i have kids. That once theyre actually there and our of meh that he or she wont look like a Jace or a Tessa. But I'm hoping very much so for a Tessa first :)

[annarama.livejournal.com]

my only problem with Clarissa is that it makes me think of Silence of the Lambs where Hannibal Lecter is calling out to Clarissa in his creepy, scary voice...

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

oooh I hadnt thought of that xD that is creeepy

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

That would be Clarice, not Clarissa.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

ya know, I totally knewthat too. But when I replied before I just didnt thinka bout it haha

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

I like Neil. :)

[starryeyedstara.livejournal.com]

I like Tess and Tessa.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

Those are my faves for a girl and the bf actually agrees ^_^

[frenchnails.livejournal.com]

I love David James. Simple and gorgeous. Or maybe I just like it cos it's my husband's name...

I love Tessa and Danica too. I went to school with a Danica, I'd never heard of anybody who liked that name until right now.

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

A couple of my names I got from books, Jace, and Danica being 2 of em. I fell in love with them :). But yeah I hadnt haerd of them till then.

I think David James is actually really nice too. I didn't even think about it till I made this post. Ill have to see what the bf says, but right now I really like Jace David, or Jace Aiden

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

Clarissa is okay, though it'll always remind me of Clarissa Explains It All. Haha. Neil/Neal is near the top of my boys' list.

Clarissa Grace - It doesn't sound right to me for some reason...
Gracie - ok
Tess/Tessa* - like
Tessa Lynn* - like
Danica - like
Danica Grace - ok
Tegan - like
Tallula/Tallulah - I don't like the sound of it
Tallulah Tegan - Too many T's

Jace Aiden* - it rhymes...so...no
or Jace David* - again, it rhymes...
David James - it rhymes, haha
Eric - like
Aiden - no
Aaron - like
Graham - like

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

I don't understand what you mean by it rhymes b/c if you mean rhyme like seen and bean, or cat and hat rhyme, then rhyme is totally the wrong word for the names you said rhyme. and if anything the reason i put those together was for the "rhyming" effect. It rolls, IMO, off the tongue and sounds good.

just not sure what you mean by rhyme

Neil Kurtis is my brother's full name :D I love it! I used to call him "Nee-Nee" when I was little and couldn't pronounce his name correctly.

My nephew's name is David James, we call him DJ.

My nephew calls Neil "Unkee Nee-Nee" now, it's the adopted version of "Uncle Neil", 'cause that doesn't flow very well. :)


-Amber
(PS: DJ calls me "Auntie [pronounced ANT-ee, not AUN-tee] Am" 'cause "Aunt Amber" doesn't flow either.)

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

I've always called my uncle, Uncle Neil. cuz I have an uncle neil too lol. but for me it flows fine maybe because i just have called him that for my whole life.

I call all my aunts, Aunt ____- aunt like Ant. lol ive never said AUN-t
