Here is an almost random collection of girl's first and middle names. As I've mentioned before, they are more likely to be used on pretend people than real people. No babies were harmed in the making of this list. Some of the entries are just me playing with middle names. Any and all suggestions are welcomed!! 

(Helen and Justice are family names, as are any Ann dirivitives)

River Zoe--Firefly fan?

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I am, but I can't believe I didn't see the connection! I was thinking more along the lines of River of Life at the time. Then again, maybe a sci fi show is a better story about how you got your name than mom couldn't sleep one night and made up a bunch of metaphore-ish names and I got one:)

i like several...i have a 3month old, scarlett so that got a yes. i also have a 6 yr old girlie with the middle name james and had to vote yes for those. finally, my all-time favorite name, harper, was on your list. i'm still mourning not getting to name either of my girls harper. maybe i'll get one more chance and boy or girl, i can get a harper.

good names overall.

Thank you! Someone else who loves Harper!!

No, but I would name my son Jain. And apparently Kisten is too girly, too. I met a girl named Joshua and the name worked. Now, I have a cousing named Joshua so I'll probably never get to use:)

Thanks for the feedback, though!

I don't like the spelling of Catharine, though I think it's a beautiful name in general. I think if you write fantasy, many of these names would fit in great. Of course for a human, they're outlandish. I do like some of your individual names a bit: Ianthe and Isolde are both names I like, but I don't love them together. I'd say them both with an "uh" at the end (or would want to at least), so the beginning and ending sounds as too similar. And they look quite similar written out. Maybe Ianthe Isadora would break it up a little differently?

I can't decide how I feel about Bronwen, though I think on a good character it would be spunky and cool. Or, alternatively, romantic. I like Petra and some of your names toward the end of the survey better. Names that aren't common but aren't too frilly or fantastic-sounding.

Ianthe is pn E-on-thE and Isolde is E-szold (I am awful at explaining pn, I know). I went to school with Bronwen Haydn and thought the names was pretty. The popularity of Arwen dampens my love a bit. Everyone seems to think its a LOTR name when its a legitimate welsh name! I'm open to the spelling of Catharine. Thats just how I liked it last night:) I do prefer it with a C, though. I like Cate better than Kate.

I loved your feedback. Thanks for taking the time!

I prefer Catherine spelled with the "e" in the middle rather than the "a"--it's the more "usual" spelling I think, and thus a little easier for others to spell.

I guess I don't love the way Ianthe is said. Ha. In my head I guess it sounded different, though now I'm not sure how I was saying it. Hmm. I also speak German, so with Isolde I'm tempted to say "ee-SOL-deh" or something. But the real pronunciation is probably prettier. In any case, I still don't love the names together.

Eliza Jane = so pretty!
