what are your thoughts on naming themes? I hate alliteration, whether its naming your kids kevin katherine and kelly, or if its joseph jenkins or sidney sebold, however, i love other naming themes, for instance naming your kids after your favourite authors, or book characters, biblical names, or musicians. opinions?



Also, I've listed some of my other name-theme lists before (Harry Potter, Rockstars, Fitzgeralds Characters), so heres my latest:
Francesca Lia Block Characters Names

I don't know how many of you have heard of FLB, but she write beautiful, ethereal novels, and uses some interesting names (often word names), some I love, some I don't like, and some I like but wouldn't actually use, so here's a short list of all of the above.

Boys

Lex
West
Smoke
Raphael
Valentine
Rafe
Paul
Dionisio
Dirk
Duck
Jack
Griffin


Girls

Marina
Ruby
Echo
Eden
Lillian
Cherokee
Snow
Barbie
Vixanne
Fifi
Primavera
Weetzie
Tuck
Winnie
Laurel
Claudia
Sylvie
Beauty

realistically, i'd probably only use Lex, West, Marina, Griffin, Ruby, Lillian, Winnie, Laurel, Jack, Sylvie, or Eden, but i really like some of the others too.
