I went to Maine with a friend last month, and now I'm a day camp counselor, so I've run across quite a few kids names in the past weeks, here are a few interesting (some good, some not so good) ones

female:
Willow
Elora (said Ee-Laura)
Rowena
Adelyn
Fallon

Male:
Hawken (strange because theres a prep school in my city named that)
Alden

I love the name Rowena, mostly because I associate it with Harry Potter... I like Willow, too, even if I'd never use it and it is kindof out there.

Adelyn sounds like Addison + Madelyn.

Adeline is a french diminuitive of Ada/Adele, that has taken on as a name by itself :) they pronounce it Ad-uh-LEEN.

Ah, okay :) I've only taken one year of French in high school and I'm not very familiar with French names. I do like Adeline much, much more than Adelyn.

i didnt make that Adeline Adelyn connection, and I speak french, ha. I only saw it written, but i bet thats how they say it.

i really dislike Rowena, even if i do associate it with HP. there are some HP names I love though, like Remus and Ginevra

[mystickiwi.livejournal.com]

Fallon sounds more like a boys name to me... either way i dont like it

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

its the name of this cute little girl at the theater i am a day camp counselor at, but i agree, it never seemed to suit her because shes so cute and little

i liked Elora until i heard her sa y it Ee-laura, i thought it was uh-lora, which is much prettier.

I'm chuckling hard at Fallon, it sounds so.. phallic!
'Fallo' is also the italian word for 'phallus', so that's where I'm taking it from.

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of Jimmy Fallon every. single. time. XD

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i never even thought about that, ha. its the name of this cute little girl at the theater i'm a day camp counselor at. haha.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i only heard it pronounced, so it could have been haakon, is it said like hawk-en? thats how he said it

[eastrnorafrican.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure that Hawken is an anglicized version of Haakon which is a Norweigen name

i like the name in its original nordic spelling but hate the anglicized version

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

is it said the same? because i only heard it pronounced and had to guess at the spelling. it was said like hawk-en

[eastrnorafrican.livejournal.com]

yep it's pronounced the same
i know a guy named haakon and he pronounces it like hawk-en

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i dont especially like it, but agree its becoming trendy. he was about 11.

[briannablade.livejournal.com]

I love Willow, Elora, Rowena, and Adelyn. Not a fan of the boys names.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i dont like either of the boys names. i like Elora, but I wish it was said ah-lora

[garnier-baby.livejournal.com]

i knew a girl named willow and it always made me mad because her hair looked like the tree hahaha.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

how strange and kind of neat!

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

I know a Willow and Alden; so quite like those :)

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I like Willow and Fallon; I love Elora. I've hated Rowena since I saw Biloxi Blues (Rowena was the hooker), but I love Rowen. Don't care much for Adelyn.

I love Hawken! I've never heard it before...Alden, not so much.
