Scarlett! great choice

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

Grey is my cousins sons name.

and actually, my name is denise. i never liked it until deven said he wanted to name his soon-to-be daughter that. then it grew on me, haha.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I like Lilly, Carolina, Aurora, and Violet but don't know that I'd actually use them. I love West and Winter.

Place names I like are Dresden (but after the books, not the city), Elysian, Georgia, London, and Andromeda.

Word names I like are Azure, Acacia, Grey, Fate, Ever, Journey, Morrow, Haven, Indigo, Lyric, Serenity, Paladin, Providence, River, Sage, and Willow.

I don't like Denise. Maybe I've known too many rednecks by the name.

Some of my favorite location and word names are:

Hastings
Florence
Palladium
Hazel
Clover
Mage
Alethia (it means "truth" in Greek)
Bella
Cadence
Sabine
Navi

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

yeah, i've never known any rednecks with that name, but a good number of black girls.

its actually my name too, my friend isnt naming his baby after me or anything, he just loves it. but i didnt want to mention it in the entry because then people might not be honest about disliking it.
and i'm a nonredneck, white girl living in NYC, so i fit neither description.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i like Alethia too
Navi makes me think of Navy, even if you said it nah-vee although, then it would probably make me think of the spanish christmas song.

ive never heard of denise on a redneck before, ever. where are you from?

[x-cherrydarling.livejournal.com]

i included place names, too.

girls:
aberdeen
adelaide
constance

phoenix
rio
roman
wade

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

[xo-inthered.livejournal.com]

I adore Winter. It's my top girls name. I love it because of the book, not the season.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

what book?
i think i read a book once with a girl by that name, when i was younger,

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

Other word names I like are Mae, Lily, Violet, Felicity, Poet, Harper

[widgetchick.livejournal.com]

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i like the city Savannah and think its a pretty girl, but i've known too many girls i didnt like with the name for me to ever actually use it, haha.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i kind of like apple too.
shhh dont tell anyone! haha.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Roman, Scarlett, Luz, Nieves ('snow' in Spanish), Madelief ('daisy' in Dutch), April, June & Alaska.

[jordle.livejournal.com]

When I think of the name Denise I think of a 50 year old woman. I can't see a little girl with that name.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i always felt that way too (and it happens to be my name aswell. coincidence though, my friends not naming the baby after me specifically) when i was a kid. its grown on me now though.
they'll probably nick name her Nisey, which is what my parents did when i was very little.
though i think that woman on the style channel as ghetto-fied it, and that upsets me alot.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I HATE the name Denise. It is such an unattractive name; I think of a middle-aged woman who weighs about four-hundred pounds and sews her own Christmas tree ornaments (specific, huh? Ahah).

I have a guilty pleasure for word names, but I wouldn't use the obvious ones.

Neve- Portugeuse for "snow"
Neva- Similar to above.
Ruby
West
Slade
Sydney/Sidney (though mostly Sidney)
Roman
Lily (though too common for my tastes)

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i loved lilly when i was younger and it wasnt very popular, but now i agree its getting to be too much.

now, i'm not offended or anything, and i didnt mention it because if i did people might not have been honest, but my name is also denise. my friends not naming his baby after me, he just wants to name her that. i'm a thin, under thirty, and living in new york city. about as far from your description as possible, haha.
i am crafty, but i've never sewn my own ornaments.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I didn't mean it applied to all Denises. In fact, I sit beside a Denise in my French Class, and she is far from what I described.

It's just the image that I get from it, so don't take it as an insult or anything. I've actually been known to start liking names I hated based on people that bore them.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___heyvanity/]

I love the name Ruby and Lilly.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i dated a girl named griffin, its one of my favourite word names too, i jsut totally forgot to include it, ha.

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

Lilly
Summer
Winter
May
Eve
Violet
Maine

Fee is pretty! I'd pronounce it differently though.

I really dislike Ruby, I can't help it.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

it has a naccent over the first e, but i didnt know how to do it in this computer

[febrile-lune.livejournal.com]

I think that saying season names are trashy is just ridiculous, I wish people wouldn't say that! I get the opposite "feel" from them. A lot of essence, even if not a whole lot of depth. I like Autumn a lot, and I like Winter only as a middle name.

But anyhow, I also love:

Scarlett
Robin
Raven (for the record, I'd never give two children "bird" names)
Dakota
Sierra
Willow
Jade
Virginia
Alexandria

Actually, I doubt I'd use the majority of these, and some (like Jade) I like only as a middle name. But I think these are nice.

[neverstarsburn.livejournal.com]

i wouldnt actually use most of my word names either.
i want to name a daughter Autumn-Leigh though, and my mother always tells me that autumn sounds trashy and autumn-leigh sounds very country trashy.

[bohemianvegan.livejournal.com]

Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster) has a daughter named Poet Sienna. Remember her friend in the show, that rich blond girl? I can't remember her name. She was always talking about a cousin named Millicent. I love that name too.

[cssgirl.livejournal.com]

My daughter's name is Winter and I think it's the farthest thing from trashy (I'm obviously biased though). I actually think seasonal names are pretty classic, and fortunately rarer than the more common boring names.
