i have loved astrid since the early 90s when i first saw the movie 'backbeat' absolutely fell in love with it. i also really like clementine. and waverly is kind of cool, but i used to live on waverly place in nyc so thats wierd for me. my cousins little girl, who is 5, is named arden.
Maeve - I like this name a lot, although it isn't my usual style. I'm a sucker for that "may" sound, I think. One of my exes had a thing for the name Maven, but thought maybe he'd spell it Maeven so it wouldn't quite match the noun.
Viola - I love it, particularly as a Shakespeare fan, although I prefer Violet.
Waverly is one of my favorite names. Pretty sound, pretty meaning.
Maeve- love the sound, hate the spelling. Don't know why because it is the original spelling, but it looks incomplete to me or something. Salome- Loved it when i thought it was pronounced "Sah-lome." Then i found out it was pronounced "Sah-low-may." Sounds like a lunch meat. Sad.
