Heya all....

Wondering what you think of these names. A bit of background first:

I've always considered names to be a reasonably fluid thing, so the SO and I are yet to discuss anything about surnames. It'd be either 3 syllable starting with 'C' (hard) or one syllable starting with 'G' (also hard) or 2 syllable starting with 'R' - for what it's worth. He's a Dutchie/English extract, I'm a French/English extract, and we were tossing up naming possibilities using things such as our common ancestry, favourite poets and writers, things we like, etc etc.

Here's the list :)


FEMALE:
Sunshine Ardeer
Ginifer Albion
Laverton Aircraft
Chelsea Bonbeach
Rosanna Macleod

MALE:
Preston Bell
Clayton Westall
Patterson Bentleigh
Willison Hartwell
Gowrie Fawkner
Croxton Northcote


** I know they're a bit odd at first. But here should be a comment where I've elaborated a bit more on the meaning and personal reasons behind them.

The only names of your list I remotely like are Rosanna Macleod and Willison Hartwell.
But really, if you love sunshine, for example, why not go with a name like Helicia which means sunshine?
Aircraft is a no too. If you love travelling, why not choose something less obvious, yet unique, that has 'travelling' in its meaning?
I'm not saying you should choose a common name (I quite like unusual names myself) but just something less...I don't know.

Helicia suffers the same problem as Amelia - anything for a girl with the Vowel-L-vowel sort of combination is an out.

I know they're all a bit odd... but then again, so am I. I'd accuse the SO of being odd as well, but he may take offence ;)

Strangely enough, out of all of them, it IS Laverton Aircraft that I'm really liking at the moment. I can't imagine that a middle name would get much of an airing outside official documentation anyway.

At least we can all remain reassured with the knowledge that these are all only 'maybe names. Childbearing is still at least 12 months off the agenda - got to finish my postgrad degree and there's also a trip to Asia coming up in the next year.

I really think Laverton is the worst part of that name. Yes, Aircraft is not a name, does not sound like name, isn't cute (there's no ee sound) isn't feminine (no flowery sounds) etc... but you're right, you're odd and it's a middle name. But Laverton isn't good, sorry. It sounds like a bathroom and a surname and personally I don't like Lav for a nn.
