Birth announcements

[soph-posh.livejournal.com]

I collected some names from local birth announcements. Oh yeah…I should probably mention that I live in Switzerland…so some of these might sound a little weird :)


Alea Svenja Monika - I hate the middle names...Alea sounds pretty
Annika Aiyana - I like Aiyana...but I hate Annika
Flurina Sofia – I feel very indifferent about that one
Gioia Maria – First time I heard the name Gioia (pronounces Joy-uh)...very pretty
Guilia-Angelina – The names go well together, but I’m not a fan of the hyphen
Juliana Linda - Pretty
Ladina Lea – Okay...though I hope the last name doesn’t start with „L“ as well...there’s only that much alliteration a name can take
Lea Mia – I like both names individually, dislike the combo
Linnea – Like it!
Livia Yarra – Like it!
Luana Ilona – Like the names individually, not sure about the combo
Melanie Sarah – Boring, but okay
Mia - Cute
Natalie Mirja – Hm..indifferent
Noelia Estrella – Very pretty...
Robin Sophie Alice Hannah – Way too many names, and they don’t seem to go together very well
Saskia – Hate it!
Tabea Roxana - Nope. Hate it!
Zoé Darina – Not sure about Darina...but i like Zoé

Corsin – One of the few Swiss names on the list, I believe... I like it.
Elias Manuel - I never know whether I like Elias or not
Fadri Raffael - Disike
Joël Reto Michael - Okay
Kasimir Conradin – Huh? No.
Lars Mikael – I like Lars...Dislike the spelling of Mikael
Linus Christoph – Love Linus!
Luc Andri - Like
Marius Martin – Not sure.
Nick Laurin - Indifferent
Nico Tim – Like it!
Nicolas Andres – Like it!
Noah Mael – Good enough
Quirin Linard – It’s a bit weird, but I think I actually like it
Richard – Totally not my style, but it’s okay
Yannick Sylvan – Indifferent

Is Noelia pronounced like "No-el-ya"?

I really like Noelia Estrella. I like Corsin, and I've never heard it before. I've never heard of Linus either, so but I like Linus Christoph. I like Luc too.

Robin Sophie Alice Hannah is AWFUL!

You've never heard Linus?! Linus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Van_Pelt) is my favorite Peanuts character. And I really like the name.

Noelia- for the life of me i could NOT pronounce that name lol. but how you say it, it really is beautiful!

I've always kind of liked Annika, but I don't think I'd ever use it. I have a friend named Andrika (pronounced kind of like Andrea with a k in there) and I've always liked that, too. They're both a little too "out there" for me, though.

Juliana is nice, but I don't like it with Linda. It's too many -a ending sounds in one name. Livia is growing on me, but I prefer Olivia. Mia is cute, too, but I don't like it by itself; I think it fits a little kid, but it's too cutsey for an adult. I prefer it as a nickname for Miranda, or Amelia, or even Margaret.

I LOVE Natalie, and Sophie Alice would be nice, but I don't like the rest of that particular combo. And I REALLY like Zoe.

Elias is GORGEOUS. I LOVE that name. I don't like it with Manuel, though. How is Joel pronounced? Is it like Joel, or does the ë make it sound different? Sorry, I am really bad with languages and pronunciations, haha.

I like Lars Michael, but Mikael is atrocious.

Nico Timothy would be better, but I don't like just Tim. And I like Nico better as a nickname for Nic(h)olas. But I do like Nico. Nicolas Andres is great :)

Noah is gorgeous, although I don't like Mael.

Oh, and I missed Linus Christoph, but I LOVE it.

i feel the same way about Annika.

i really like Gioia... though it would get butchered all the time. but it's a very pretty name!
i love the name Mia, too.
Corsin i also like.
Luc Andri is very nice.

overall not awful, just not all my taste.

I like Corsin, but I'd probably never use it.
Noelia is pretty if the first comment is right about the pronounciation.

Flurina? That's just bad! It's as if they liked 'Fleur' but wanted to do something different with it...and failed.
Noelia Estrella is kind of pretty...I like Gioia Maria as well. There are a lot of names on that list of girl's names of which I like the first name but not the middle name, or vice versa.
I don't like any of the boy's names, only Elias Manuel :)
