I go to a high school that is not...ethnically diverse and where caucasion is very much the minority. Anyway, there are some very kre8tyve names at this school so I thought I'd post some.

Shanqella
Soniqua
Genesis
Nefertiti
and my favorite...LLewellynn...pronounced Lou Ellen. Oh yeah, they went there.

On a side note...
I'm in LOVE with the names Lily (with Abigail as a middle name) and Violet, both definitely as first names. However, is the "flower" theme too noticeable?

No, i think Lily and Violet are both lovely. A bit twee... but not too bad.

Llewellynn is a real name, unless you're making fun of it because they added a couple extra letters?

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

If Llewellyn is on a boy, then that's a pretty traditional Welsh name. If it's on a girl then that's just bizarre.

Nefertiti is horrendously pretentious, Genesis is silly, and the other two are just tacky as hell.

I love Violet as well :) I don't think I'd personally use two floral names, but it's not horrendous or anything. They're both pretty names.

I love the name Lily!
And I primarily think "colour" before I think "flower" when I hear Violet.

Now, I can't speak Welsh, and I know it's a real name, but isn't it not pronounced like "Lou Ellen?"

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

It's kinda like Lou Ellen, yeah, except the "Ll" is really hard to describe. Try to say "ll", "th" and "cl" at the same time and you might be close. Also, the last syllable is closer to LIN than LEN/LUN. As it's one name it flows together quicker than Lou-Ellen too.

I apologize, I wasn't aware that it was a legit name. I thought it was just a really messed up spelling of Lou Ellen. But it is on a girl.

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Haha, no probs; on a girl it is pretty weird! I never heard that before :)

It's a traditional name in my family; my brother, father and grandfather all have/had it as a middle name.

Llewellynn is totally legit, although I'd question this particular spelling (I've only ever seen Llewelyn before). I believe it's Welsh?

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Yup, it's Welsh. I've seen Llewelyn and Llewellyn but never the two Ns before. And never on a girl!

I love Lily and Violet both, but together, yeah, the flower theme would be pretty noticeable.

Ooh, I love the name Genesis, as starnge as it sounds it beautiful ^^ But I srsly don't think I ever heard of Soniqua. Their really nice though ^^

Isn't Nefertiti an Egyptian goddess or something?

Goodness, I can see all the "titty" jokes now...lol.

She became a female ruler when her hubby went to a monotheistic sun-worshiping kick.

I like Genesis. Nickname Genny :)

i have found myself really falling in love with the name violet too. but to answer your question, yes i kind of think the flower theme is very noticeable, but if you dont mind that kind of thing, i say go for it... :)
