old running list

[so-there.livejournal.com]

back when I was 12 (14 years ago) I started a running list of names I liked, and kept it in a safe place so I'd never lose it, and added to it over the years. well, I found the list (never really lost it, actually) and some of it is like.. wtf? embarrassing, really. but still, entertaining. so I've typed it all out, in its entirety, and so you don't confuse the "I still like it" names with the "what was I thinking???" names, my current opinions are typed after each name. (names toward the end of the list were probably added in my later teens).

honestly, I think I was so into "different" names that I ended up adding some that I never really liked, but weren't very common. at least until I came up with enough not-so-common names that I could start crossing off the gross ones.

What do you think of "place names?"
What are some place names you can think of?
I don't think I would use half of these but this is the list I came up with:

Odd old names

While doing some research on my dad's family, I found out that his paternal grandpa's name was "Eugene Celestine." I told my dad about it and added, "Aren't you glad you were named after your other grandpa." His name is "John Michael."

WDYT of Imogen nn Mimi?

My thoughts: I love Imogen for various reasons. And I took the Im in Imogen, flipped it, and got Mimi which is in honor of a dear friend of mine. It's meaning is "maiden" in Irish/Gaelic and maybe Latin for "innocent". It's pronounced in this form as IM-AH-GIN.

Any thoughts on good middle names?
